This post represents DAY EIGHT thru DAY ELEVEN of my INTENTIONAL PROJECT. (Monday thru Thursday.) This has been one of those ridiculously busy, compressed, slam-bam of a wham-jam kind of weeks… BUT we all seemed to have survived… We lived to tell the tale!
Still reading and enjoying that quite a bit. I’m bouncing between books on magic and psychopharmacology, cryptids, and various comics. I tend to read MOSTLY at night. My ability to pay attention has diminished over the years, so that even the slightest distraction breaks my concentration, making it nearly impossible to retain what I read during a typical, rambunctious day.
In other news, Mariah and I are heading to Seaside, Oregon, tomorrow to attend the Oregon Ghost Conference! We’re pretty excited. As a student of folklore and religious studies, an event like this is bound to reveal some fascinating belief systems and cultural concepts! (Plus, ghosts are cool...)
Because this week has been such a crush, I’ve barely had time for any artz... But “barely” means some, so here are a few pieces I DID manage to get published...

"Vibes and Vapours"
[Digital drawing and digital collage created with my phone.] A microscopic view of the spiritual activity inside my laptop. It's a very exciting place!

"The Bull Returns"
[Digital drawing created on my phone.] Not financial advice. It's not even a real bull; (it's got a forked tongue and no irises...) Don't take financial advice from a monster anyway!

"Stump Monster"
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] The forest is sick of it, and it's not going to take it anymore! The TREES are on the move!!!

"Seeing Specters" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)
[Ink and sticker collage on cardstock with digital embellishments, color, and moshing!] I remember looking into the patterns of the wallpaper, and all I could see were skulls and ghosts... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

It ain’t an EPOC CHANGING quantity (or quality) of work, but it’s better than doing nothing. I’m determined to keep pumping the EMPTY, DEVOURING UNIVERSE full of junk food – until one of is KEELS OVER... (“Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.”)
