I believe that’s the dance of a brave little toaster

There’s this method for meditation which may or may not help ease a tension headache. You light a candle and sit with it in the middle of a darkened room. You stare at the flickering flame and let your mind wander or phase out or fizzle. Fizzle is a funny word. Reminds me of lattes. They pop and fizzle, did you know that? Sorta like rice crispy squares… which I haven’t had in years. What do I have that I didn’t have before now? Lots of socks, lots of tea, and lots of guitar. Guitar of the singular nature. I play it and I suck the more I think about it all. My brain hurts. My heart’s heavy, like a cow. But here’s a monkey, a psycho semi-dead evil monkey sketch, to make it better:

kind of appropriate these days, but hey - no rest for the whiny. revisiting a recently put-away CG work, featuring some minor edits and major filtering… you’ll remember it from this post:

Lighting’s pretty dark here but the contrasts make it work.

In other news: Someone requested another private commission with a jazz/blues theme. That makes 3 in the last 6 months so I have to ask- is this a fad or making a come back or what?

I love jazz, love the blues even more but… the timing between all 3 requests seems odd.

Guess all things come in waves.

good morning heartache, what’s new?

still no luck, but I’ll confess – I’m loving the monkey bones:

attempting art that involves bone-like things… going back to near-gothic roots is a little intimidating. so far, it’s looking more quirky than gothic:
