Took a few months off. Sometimes life happens.
In the meantime, I took a zine making class. I have a few scans of zines to share, a few new ideas percolating.
If you’re still here, thanks for waiting. Stay tuned.

Here’s another oldie from my No Man’s Sky travel journal. I did a series of three on this planet, I’ll share the third next week, and the first is here.

Hello! I’ve been away on vacation three weeks, simultaneously fulfilling two longtime dreams; building a catio and attending a barn raising party.
The second was, of course, in spirit, but we built a free standing cat house into an existing (beloved) deck and replaced two-thirds of the deck boards in five days with help of heroic visiting family in possession of know-how and skills and if that’s not what a barn raising party feels like then I don’t know what is.
And fans of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in the audience?
It was really really fun, is what I’m saying, and now I’m “styling it,” because I’m that person. The white deck chair cushions are already covered in muddy little pawprints. I let them dry, and then brush them off with a straw hand whisk broom while the puppy barks at me.
It’s like this with most new things and then she gets with the program.

I’ve shared this one before, but I much prefer this earlier version. I wish I’d scanned it, but I was glad to at least find a photo in my phone, and thought maybe you’d like to see it, too.
So relax a minute in the cool shade, and watch the pale melon clouds drift by. See you tomorrow.

Here’s one last look back at Jasmodus Gamma, at least for now. I expect I’ll revisit the mushroom coast in time.
This one I saved for last because I wanted to get a few more drawings under my belt before I tackled it. It feels good to know that even just last year, this would have been beyond me. So I’ll keep at it.
Over in No Man’s Sky, I’ve landed light years away on the grassy planet Etbur and guys, it’s a good one.
See you there.
