It looks like I’ll be away from my desk for a week or two (doing some house-sitting and possibly going on vacation – the details are a bit foggy – as per usual).
I doubt I’ll have regular access to the ‘www’ so my visits might be sporadic, but I’ll try to stop by to say hello if I can. Posting should resume here in a week or two. Unless… you know… it doesn’t.
Take it easy, everyone!
About this image: this one’s actually not so much about the image – but it’s Illustrator and Photoshop
Holy moly… I’ve been gifted a smart-ish phone! Pretty much all I did to the above in Photoshop was to airbrush a few things out… the rest was all done in-phone. Wild. If only I could figure out how to make a phone call.

When The Byronic Man asked me to participate in his famous 20 questions segment I was thrilled! I was honored! I was… obviously confused (my cryptic rambling made no sense – at all). Still, I had a blast – and I think you will, too. Even if I leave you face-palming, the hilariously entertaining Byronic Man makes up for any bruising. So, if you haven’t yet, please head over and check out The Byronic Man. I know you want to. The cookie never lies.
Festival Director: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are very pleased to welcome you to the world premiere of Part 1 of the newest film from a great favorite of ours here at Loquasto, Mr. Steve Zissou. A brief Q & A will immediately follow the screening. Thank you.”

Shadow detail… HA! Rules. Whatever, dude.
