close enough

I know it's still February, but this is fun and too easy to let slip by. I heard about it first, I think, on 66 square feet, then on more idle thoughts, who both got it (I surmise) from m. heart, and it goes like this:

To create your own band name and album cover, follow these easy instructions from m. heart:

1. Click wikipedia. The first random article you get is the name of your band.

2. Click quotations. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Click flicker. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. (I cheated and kept clicking until I had a third picture that satisfied my notion of something that went with the name of the album.)

4. Use Photoshop (or similar) to put it all together.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was singer. Now I have my own band! named for a town in Nigeria! However imaginary. . . the band, not the town.

hiatus

The world is much with me at present, so I think I will declare the rest of February as an official hiatus. I do have a good idea and clear sketch for the February moon panel, and a pile of sketches for Moby at any time. I'm looking forward to getting those underway, but probably will do them in a rush at the end of this very short month.

In the meantime, I hope that some inward time here in late winter will be restorative and fruitful.

soon,
M
