Hi! I’m Zephyr Pfotenhauer (@zephyrpfo.o) — an artist/designer/illustrator/mother/partner/creative flaneur born in Santa Cruz and living my best lockdown life in Boulder Creek, CA. I’ve spent the last few days on a journey through my sketchbook archives, traveling through my personal history with the aid of my trusty iPad and a thirst for narrative to create a comic-inflected story for this (not first) Friday. Join me for all that in the stories or check out my personal page for a more straightforward and commercial-friendly focus on my art. 😘

4 Santa Cruz Artists to Follow During Shelter in Place - If you can say there’s a silver lining to a pandemic, then it’s the wellspring of creativity and compassion that’s blossomed in its wake like wildflowers after a fire. Our local artists are creating and teaching art to bring much-needed hope, beauty, and humor to our community and beyond. Art may not be considered essential under COVID-19 guidelines, but can you imagine coping with the current anxiety, fear, and paralyzing uncertainty without the arts?
