The work is chugging along despite continued (though decreased) technical difficulties. What is not chugging along, sadly, are any of my artistic (not-for-clients) endeavors. The balance is a difficult one to strike. Sometimes I find myself browsing the web sites and blogs of other artists, and despair. At what point will I (a) have enough… Continue reading ::sigh::
Stay calm amid panics.
Dreamed I went to Alaska– or maybe it was Nova Scotia. (Having never been to either place, how was I to recognize it?) Staying in some small town with hills and boulders where shop cats may as likely be fed fish as dry kibble; locals behind on technology made up for it with ingenuity and… Continue reading Stay calm amid panics.
return of the sun
The machine (you'll be happy to hear) has thus far been doing fine since the reinstall. I managed a couple hours of work on Friday evening after it was finished, crash-free. I've also purchased and installed a much more reliable (fingers crossed) font management program. Oh, what strange dreams of late! Friday, Saturday and this… Continue reading return of the sun

To remove… Continue reading *%&#@!

"A walking pace is the speed of community." (Bull Bunn for Salon) "She possessed the hopeful, hopeless courage of the poor, which is perhaps the most appealing of all human qualities…" - Gene Wolfe, from The Shadow of the Torturer
tessellated
Despite having applied available discipline in the early hours (waking, recalling, and a forced recounting of relevant details before slipping back into sleep), what sprang from the subconscious has been subsequently and utterly lost. Often it is precisely when we wish to grasp that we lose our tentative hold altogether. So it is that we… Continue reading tessellated
dream
In which a family-run museum provides 'ghosts' and history; beer and other sundries on a neighboring balcony; receives visitors and empathy for the crippled girl who was lost long ago– something about her strongly associated with pheasants. It was a long and detailed one. In the transcribing of it I was reminded of another dream… Continue reading dream
