Reporting from 4am

It's been a long couple of days.  Not for any definite reason.  I've been fairly productive, but not on the one thing I need to be producing.  The last panel of this book thing is just sitting there in semi-completion.  Tomorrow after work I am confident that I will finish it in a whirlwind of activity, but I've been confident of that whirlwind appearing for days now.  We'll see.  The only whirlwind I've been reaping these days is the proverbial.  I did do this-



I'm definitely doing a lot more animals these days.  Looking at all the sketches I've done over the past few days they are all beasts of some variety.  Should be interesting.  As someone important once wrote to me, "somos animales salvajes" so it fits.  I'm sure that'll be my theme for a while.

I did this too.  It's been in the works for some time, and I like the way it came out.  The thing as a whole started in June, and is now eight feet long.  I'll probably finish it with one more thing to round it out to ten-


If I do another one it'll be pretty sparse.  As I said previously the whole landscape of the thing will move around a lot more outside of this single plain, but with this thing as the center.  I'm going to have another hostel show in February and I think I'm going to focus on these things with the green field/grey sky configuration.

The world at 4am is a weird thing.  I feel like nothing moves.  It's an odd period of stasis after the initiation of the wolf's watch at 3am, when crazy things start happening, and the waking of the early risers at 5-5:30.  Every day I feel like this.  I thought I'd write about it because it's 4:30 and I'm procrastinating.  I need to go to sleep, as a matter of fact.  Work tomorrow.  New Years Eve I work the overnight by myself.  It's going to be hellish, and I plan on striking down upon all interlopers and ne're-do-wells with iron and steel and the streets will be washed with their crimson vigor.  I probably won't report again before then.  Be seeing you.
