pause buttons

I kind of like starting with a vision in mind and ending up in a completely different place. I almost scrapped this about ten minutes in but I kept going.


I'm filing it under "work in progress" but, honestly, the stuff I put in that metaphorical bin usually stays there. So, goodbye for now little Meerkat fellow. Maybe one day I'll give you some whiskers and a neater paint job.

In other news I'm headed to Seattle the day after tomorrow, after more than a year's absence. I miss the weather up there, and the delicious north-westerly cuisine. Maybe I will draw a big cedar tree while I am there. I miss those trees, and the way it smells like dirt and salt and heady, drippy hot cedar bark when it rains. Here it only smells like wet concrete and car exhaust (not that it ever rains).
