msfledermaus | Life, both good and bad...

I did a lot more sketching last night. I have an old drawing book from the 50's that I use sometimes for a brush-up. I'll do the exercises and then do something horrible to the pictures. (for example: a nice cornfield with a farmhouse in the background, a corn shock and pumpkin in the middle ground and a fence rail in the front. In my hands, the house becomes Victorian and spooky, the railing a small tombstone and that pumpkin...oh, nooo, not the pumpkin....)

I also came up with a good one-page comic for Valentine's day. I'm still inkng it, but I can put the text in here later today...

We're having a huge party for a coworker of mine for his 15th anniversary here. It's a Survivor-themed party, lots of jungle stuff and stuffy monkeys and zebra-print decorations. Tiki-partyyyyy!!!!! (Where's my grass skirt?)

The wind is howling like an angry animal outside. It's not really very cold, about 30 degrees...but that wind cuts right through you like you aren't even there. Brrrr....

I got not one but *two* more little love-notes from the person I call the Danish Art-Terrorist-Wannabee. I'm disposing of the envelopes with extreme prejudice....and a lighter.

Off to see the madness next door, more later...
