Prelude

Still exploring the shifting personalities of this view.

Here's the bright flashiness before things subdue, little by little neighbors turn out their lights, and the glitter of the city floats into the sky.

Out Back

When you’re young, there are things in life you take as a given. Because, what reason would you have to second guess them? As I’ve grown, the one thing I long for with an ache that feels like a part of me is missing, is a garden. (Happily, in my current place we’ve worked hard to set up a mini one, but I still dream of acreage.)

This scene is of the first garden in my life, and I’ll always think of who tended to it, what it taught & provided, and how special it is to have a garden.

Instinct Blues

Been feeling a lot of chaotic energy lately. Was needing an outlet in some energetic lines so I looked to the last scene of Keaton’s Battling Butler to satisfy my urge.

Been a very long time since I’ve approached line work like this. I feel like I’ll need more of it to get this cabin fever knocked out.
