I carried the new touch along on the Saturday errands today and cropped some of the photos I took into squares. I’m not sure why, except I think squares are sexy, artistically speaking. They’re also quite practical, since they can be reduced and enlarged all over the place and never change their shape. I think I’m getting the hang of this very strange new camera I’ve got, although its autofocus is even harder to handle than the Canon’s.

The tree frogs and the dolphins are about the same size. And yes, I know that United Supply has changed its name to United Art and Education, but we still call it United Supply. It’s my go to store for studio obscurities like dip pen holders and 2H 0.7 mm mechanical pencil leads.

Pancakes… and here I was, expecting an illo of Festus B “Maple” Pancakes, noted Arctic explorer, goat whisperer and maker of the fastest origami crane on record.
And if Festus doesn’t exist, he should…
I would so like to see what is going on inside your head, bro.
NOOOOOOOOOO! Don’t do it! It’s both dark and scary in there, and enormously creative! This Is A Bad Combination!
Why, the only thing keeping Wolfie from turning to the Dark Side and inventing numerous weapons of mass destruction is the fact that he keeps getting sidelined by thoughts of buxom jungle girls, pet komodo dragons, roll-your-own cigarettes, sex, Happy Days reruns, and strawberry daiquiris!
Well, that and the fact that outfitting an Evil Scientist Laboratory is getting prohibitively expensive…
But heaven help us all if he ever gets hired on as a henchman and gets free access to a fully equipped Evil Scientist Laboratory on somebody else’s dime.
Makes me shiver just thinking about it.
It’s is quite obvious that the inside of Brother Santman’s head is also a fairly interesting place. Strawberry daquiris? How horrible.
Horrible indeed. Why do you think I was warning you off?
Can’t you just see his imagination coiled and ready to strike? Were you to enter the Wolfgang undermind without proper preparation and meditation you might be swept away to realms beyond comprehension… or maybe a well appointed Tiki bar.
