the news--

The alignment results came in. Did you know that was standard with blood testing nowadays? Anyway, results: chaotic good. The former should surprise no one, the latter makes me wonder about the accuracy...

I've got two shows up at once, one as part of my graduating class at Wriston Gallery on the Lawrence Campus in Appleton, WI. The other is a solo exhibit at North Shore Bank for two weeks and then another month. One might say this was the road to acknowledgment. If they didn't fear jinxing themselves utterly and prematurely.

On the writing front, I've finally gotten back to cleaning the stray bits of code and ugly out of Chapter Six of Fire and Light. Forgot just how massive the thing was...
There's also a new comic in the offing, tentatively titled Return to Wonderland, drawn by me and written by a fellow grad, J. Siroky. Unlike me, folks, he's got a degree in this English language stuff, meaning he's actually sorta qualified. So stay tuned for that.
There's more comics and story lines coming, more on that as it develops.


Oh, and I graduated. Or nose-dived and burned a charred swath across the finish line--whichever you might find more poetic.


So, current status is: shell-shocked, holed up, cleaning up and trying to find an alternative motivational fuel source to the campus usual of Grade A Last Minute Panic. My assistants claim that cats might be feasible, with morbid competition as more common but less eco-friendly source.

But fear not. You only thought you were rid of me.

The best is yet to come.
