Last week, one of the main systems crashed at work and has continued to cause issues. Every day they say everything is fixed (it's not fixed).

A cross-section of acquired images / "maybes" for Southern Reach coffee table book, for the Contamination chapter. The contamination chapter is less "photo-realistic" than other chapters in how it posits a Southern Reach paranoid about localized "cultural" contamination in an "influence zone".

When my mom was in hospice, every phone call came with the weight of “Is this the one? Are they calling to say she’s gone?” A month later and that feeling still lingers. I don’t know if it’ll ever fade.

A crayon artist sits with their legs crossed in a chair next to a wall they have covered in dinosaur illustrations. They are wearing overalls and a bandana. They exude the confidence of an artist who has seen their vision to completion. However, like many creators, their vision is not shared by everyone. They are confronted by a man in a sweater vest, “Heard you been drawin dinosaurs on my walls.” The artist replies, “You heard right.” 

Artist’s note: I try to do my drawings quickly so they maintain that spontaneous feel I’m going for (something we’ve discussed in previous posts). For this one I ended up redrawing the artist’s pose and subtle facial expression over and over again until it felt right.

Pen and watercolor. Two fools wander through an open field. The tall one dressed in a carrot costume and the short one dressed in an apple costume. Their hands are out to their sides to maintain balance. Carrot speaks, “You feel the ground shaking?” In the distance, we see a massive herd of wild horses thundering towards them. Hooves pound the ground racing to carrot and apple. By the time our boys realize their mistake it could be too late. Where are they going? Why wander dressed as horse treats? Things to consider. Artist’s note: Most of my drawings are black & white and I tend to use color sparingly. Hilary Knight, the illustrator of the Eloise books, is a big influence on both my linework and color use.

If you ordered this Southern Reach vinyl and they charged your card, just get your money back and cancel your order. I don't believe they will ever get it out. My apologies for backing something that seemed cool, and was endorsed by my then-editor at FSG, that is crap rarebirdlit.com/southern-rea...

My mom was a volunteer EMT at the local fire company for 14 years. She also did the training classes, fire house tours, and so much more. She only stopped because she started doing home daycare for others at the fire station. She truly was an amazing woman. I miss her so much.
