Quiet, Sunny, Bumpy

Perambulation basically means to walk or stroll about, for exploration or for pleasure. I'm a firm believer in the phrase "Walks do wonders", so here's a coyote struttin' to nowhere, being with every step, and simply absorbing it all.

I am extremely excited to say I sold my first painting ever this month (Wholesome Change From A Positive Disturbance). So excited, in fact, I offered to build a custom frame without having the slightest clue how to build a frame. After plenty of sweet hacksaw action, wood putty, and carpenter's glue, I got this. I roughed it up a bit with a knife and some sandpaper, and added two different color stains on afterward. Some glass, a chunky matte, and bam. The texture is incredible.

Drawing on the plane is confined and bumpy,
but so quiet and sunny. A challenge.

jacketed man keeps picking me up."

The last two are out of a 1978 hardback Reader's Digest reaking of mold. I guess I'll do anything to get my hands on that yellow paper. Acid free? PSH.

The periscope project is underway. That's all I'm saying.
