End of summer break inbound; whereas everyday felt, for the last eight weeks, like Saturday, now they feel like Sunday. And so it goes, through the next few weeks. Things in process:
Final Shed transition from writing space with tools to full-on industrial art workshop. Metal and pictures and words oh my.
Moving rocks around nuPond. New footpath in the works for optimal gill-baby viewing.
Drawing little things for a zine, maybe. Words eventually, again.
Reading: WE ARE WATCHING, by Alison Gaylin; LOWER THAN THE ANGELS: A HISTORY OF SEX AND CHRISTIANITY, by Diarmaid MacCullough
Watching: PARADISE, season one.
LISTENING: On a BRMC binge.
PLAYING: ROBOCOP: ROGUE CITY replay on PS5 because my brain can handle only wanton awesomeness and occasional quirk; BALATRO and MARIO KART WORLD on the Switch 2.
Toying around with new metal ideas, though I might wait for the blazing heat to fuck off to work on something bigger.
metal_0042 :: hank and frank
I was halfway through this latest character when I figured out how deeply I was inspired by Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar’s brilliant BUG WARS series. So I rolled with it and ended up with my own original denizens of Slade’s yard: Hank’s the (bug) explorer, Frank’s his (slug) steed, all birthed from old tractor parts, plenty of nuts and washers, typewriter bars, and, in Frank’s case, an old boot jack my wife gave me.
