Why hello again,
I have been really really busy. It's been great, I've been working enough to be able to eat really well every day. My refrigerator is full of really great cheese and the cupboard has plenty of nice dark chocolate - nice enough to be free that trashy soy lecithin garbage and full of cacao. I am doing alright.
Jean, my dear friend of Lark Press has finished her calendar and I am in love with it. I have already hung mine on the wall where it is patiently waiting for January. She made only 100 and is selling them on etsy : www.larkpress.etsy.com . I am so proud of her dilligence and I love her drawings. September is my favorite. This is the month when mobs of Portlanders gather up a picnic and a blanket and head over to NW Raleigh to the yard of the Chapman school to watch an army of vaux swifts (some perhaps 200,000) create a swirling vortex of flapping wings in the sky and dive into what was once a chimney.
I did finish 2 more letters of my phonetic alphabet and 3 more are drawn up and ready to print. Pictures and etsy posting are coming soon. If I somehow get some seed money when the project is all designed, it would be nice to have them offset printed and widely distributed. In the meantime, I have quite a bit of drawing ahead of me. Luckily it's coffee season and I have sworn off coffee bans. I am dreaming of a creamy cup of coffee right now, even as I about to fall asleep, it sounds so nice. Living in this occasionally grey and colorless bubble that is Portland, Oregon and having access to some of the best coffee in this country- it's nearly impossible for me to avoid it. When Stumptown coffee and Ristretto concoct warm mugs of nearly perfect milky heaven for $3, what is the point in fighting?
coffee season??
