I got bodyslammed by an illness this week—not COVID, but I won't go into details. And anyway, it's improving. So this week's update will be short.
In an upcoming post, I want to talk a bit about some tricks I'm using to colour these pages and why they keep me shackled to Photoshop. Additionally, someone complimented the way I draw rocks and asked for some pointers. I have been thinking about rock-drawing pointers but, equally, I find myself thinking that the thing to do here is draw rocks however-old-way you want and then either find the audience that likes their rocks drawn that way or "just" change the zeitgeist of the way rocks are drawn. Of course, I might be taking a simple question about drawing rocks and turning it into something else, and I don't necessarily want to be flippant, but my gut feeling these days (when it's not ill) is that however you are drawing rocks is just fine. So I'd like to get to those topics in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, just gonna keep on keeping on with the colour.

I hope everyone's having a nice August. No one in our household is tied to a yearly school schedule and no one gets summer vacations, and yet August still feels like the Sunday night of the year for me. No more thoughts about what kind of pancakes to make for breakfast or which beach to visit, all thoughts of soup and haircuts.

"Space Goose" is a blasphemous reference to Her Great Celestial Majesty, the Swan of the Skies, whose Thousand-Year Cry created the heavens and the earth and who does, indeed, wear an elaborate, unknowably massive crown crafted of ivory and the rarest of the galaxy's gems. In the 18th Century, most Western religions revolved around this creation myth. This is not a well-known fact.
