The great four-decade assessment
Hi, last person reading this. No, I am still not dead. I have, however, become oddly detached from my former online identity. It's weird. Not all bad, but definitely weird.
I honestly don't have much to say for myself. Outside of my work as my alternate secret identity, the only thing I've really made in the last year is a card for my mom for her birthday. It's the hippopotamus ballerina from Disney's Fantasia. In my research, I discovered she actually has a name - Hyacinth Hippo. Isn't that charming? Here she is:
Meanwhile, this other side of me is growing, it's absolutely unreal. I remember I said I would identify it once it usurped my old self - if, as I put it, "Clark Kent managed to outrun Superman." But what if I only said that because I didn't think it would happen? But what if it could happen? What if it's happening RIGHT NOW?
But at least part of me is still me, and today is still my birthday, no matter what. So, consider this proof of life. At least I'm still making art, and I haven't forgotten my old original projects. Perhaps I will still come back to them someday. I guess it depends who can grow the fastest, me, or my odd metaphysical cancer. I guess it depends on which one of us is the cancer?
