A Short Intermission…

Posted on July 16, 2012 by spilledinkguy

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

This is the most beautiful “intermission” sign I’ve ever seen. The light..the shading..it speaks to me in the most elemental way. Bravo, maestro. You’ve done it again.

  I was thinking about scanning in my old Gone Fishin’ sign, but it’s in need of repair (and I’m low on duct tape at the moment)!

  I do plan on taking my camera… and (in theory) I should wind up with a lot of images (although to tell you the truth these things tend to stress me out and my success to failure ratio seems to clime even higher)! I plan on giving a try, though!
  Hahaha… I guess I’ll try to do that as well!
  I hope you have a wonderful week, Andro!

  Sorry I didn’t get to stop by as frequently as I hoped over my ‘break’…

  I think I’ve almost made it back into orbit now, though…
  maybe…

  Thank you so much! The plants really appreciate that! Although now I’m sure they’re all spoiled and expecting to be cared for on like… a quarterly basis or something ridiculous like that.

  thanks for the follow-up, A.G.! I’ve had a few skeletons running around before, you know! Always making such a mess of things! Why, I’m fairly certain (and this is just between you and me of course)… well, I’m fairly certain they don’t even use coasters! The shock! The horror! 😉

  Sorry about the delay, A.G…
  the ‘break’ took a bit longer than I initially planned (in a way).
  I had a feeling that it might stretch out a bit longer… and then (once I got behind a bit) it became all the more tempting to keep dragging my feet about the whole thing… but I’m finally giving it a shot!
