[Sketch #19 - Reflections on the Door of Yahweh]


This is not a double exposure, just a simple photograph taken in a double glass door down at Bonaventure with my crappy little Cannon Powershot. I decided to go for a long walk in the cemetery since it's right down the road. I see why it's a huge tourist attraction now. Lots of history and holy crow, the place goes on forever. I thought I was going to get lost walking around, so I went back for my car. The view of the marsh from the bluff at the end of the burial sites is amazing. Lots of Snowy Egrets down in the river. I also took some pictures with my Yashica but I'm going to have to wait until I can get space for a dark room to develop them.

Here's a wider view of the door, just in case y'all don't believe me.


More to come.

Oh my God, you think it's all for fun
Is this fun for you?" - Ida Maria (Oh My God)

[Sketch #18 - Twisting the Tapestry]


The Moirae are the fates in greek mythology. Even Zeus knew better to f**k with the fates. These lovely ladies aren't necessarily part of a new story, but rather just a series of thoughts that I had on what my version of the fates would look like, how they would be styled. I think there will be more sketches of them in the future. They kind of have a connection to a story I'm writing that's based in present times, but only very loosely. I think you can tell that I sketched Clotho first and kind of spent less time on Lachesis and even less on Atropos. But I like them all. I have some really cool ideas for Atropos. They're popping up in my kraft sketchbook, so hopefully I'll have more to post soon.

Went to a Yeasayer concert on Sunday that was amazing. I think I'm in love with all three main members, but especially Ira. :3

It's going to be a busy week, but I officially love October. So many good things to look forward too. Its a good time to get my head back in the game. If anyone wants to join me, feel free to dive in.

More to come.

"If you find me, I'll be sitting by the water fountain
Picket signs, let downs, meltdown it's Monday morning
But it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright
Cause in no time they'll be gone, I guess I'll be standing here." - Yeasayer (2080)
