This has been just about the worst flu I can remember.
I really didn’t think I’d get anything up this week but gave it a shot tonight anyhow. Sorry, no vocals again – can’t talk let alone sing right now.
The image above is from the first poem in Grass Stained Twilight.
Only did a short instrumental this week – not much time – everyone’s sick around here.
I’ve got a little bit of a melody and lyrics but I think it’s alright like this too.
I am absolutely obsessed with comics.
I’ve always enjoyed them but over the past few years, in an attempt to share the magic with my son, I’ve fallen into the abyss. For the past few holidays the entire family has heaped upon me glorious piles of comics wonderful comics (thank you).
I’ve always dabbled a bit in their creation myself but have only recently dabbled in consistency. I started a little “autobiographical comic” -and then stopped- and am starting again (not sharing those right now).
These are pages from my sketchbook and fully demonstrate my potential strengths and weaknesses – I like to whip them out fast but can’t seem to muster up the attention span to invest in a plot. I’m working on it.
Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be. Wrote 2 songs this week but laying everything down takes some time.
Putting time constraints on the whole thing forces some compromises but sometimes it forces happy ones.
This one is called “I’m Gonna Be.”
Thank you so much family for commenting on what I’ve put up so far. I’m resisting letting anyone else know about this until all the fun stuff is ready (according to Andy it’ll be a couple more weeks).
