Nuttin to see here, folks...go on home!

With this session wrapping up in two weeks, I’m a little overwhelmed with tying up loose ends. The event attendants are exhausted, their initial optimism having turned to stark realism, and I’m elated that the end is near. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, and I know that when I emerge into the sun, I’ll have six weeks to work on my book…until the next group of starry-eyed optimists enter the Reality Zone.

Looking back at the last week or so, I can see that I’ve been fooling around with faces. That’s because my goal for the next book is to make all of the animals cuter as the story deals with issues that are not at all cute. It’s going to be exciting, and fun, and maybe even controversial.

I’m still mulling over the idea of signing up for Ahmed Aldoori’s concept art course. I just have to figure out where I’ll find time to do justice to the lessons. That sounds like a lamp cop-out, but the fact is, there are days when I don’t even have time to fart, much less sit quietly by myself for hours at a time and learn how to draw and paint.
