I return!

It was quite a whirlwind trip. The Florida leg was on the beach, and I saw terns and willets and sanderlings and lots of dead moon jellyfish. The Southern Independant Booksellers Association was a great bunch-my table had a line! We ran out of books in twenty minutes! I had to turn people away! (I felt bad about that.) But the enthusiasm

do you ever get caught up in the thing where, you've done so much work that each piece just becomes "just the next drawing?" or do you linger on the spirit of a piece for a while after the muse has dropped it onto your paper? because I think this is one of the most amazing, resonant pieces you've ever done. something in that just grabs me.

In all honesty, I usually live in the just-the-next-drawing state, but occasionally I snap out. These, though--from the masked rabbits through all the weird evolutions to here--have been particularly maddening, because I can't figure out where they GO. Which is about half "what background do they need?" and half "what world do they live in?" and frustrates me enormously.

Cool piece - I love the simplicity of this one!

Wish I'd been able to get down to Bawlmer for your visit... You know they have (at least) a pair of peregrines that nest in the Inner Harbor? Granted, they'd have already fledged their chicks this year, but it's likely they're still in town.

(I'm not a birder, but I learned about the Baltimore peregrines about 15 years ago, when an ornithologist friend and I went to a behind-the-scenes tour at the aquarium. We grabbed lunch at one of the pavilions, and as we sat on the steps eating it, he said how he hoped some day to see the peregrines that nested there. I pointed at the birds I'd been watching flying around the WTCI building and asked, "You mean like those?")

I like him. I like his hands too, very nice design for a bipedal deer guy.

And the frog is beautiful.

Yup, the hands make it. Lovely detail. Welcome home! Sounds like you had a great, strange and wonderful time!
