Porcupine Tree's The Sky Moves Sideways : Spiral Circus
It's been a busy few days, and yet somehow I've managed to get a lot of art done.

Today I went to the zoo with Cassandra and Rachel. This was only the second time I've been to one of Boston's zoos, and it was a much better day for it than the rainy one that was Nat's little goodbye-Boston party. The Franklin Park zoo is small enough that you can see all of it in an afternoon without feeling too hurried, which makes it small to someone who grew up with the massive sprawl of the Audubon.

And on the 4th, Alicia took me to a barbecue some of her friends were having, which was also fun. No names as I totally did not retain them, either RL or online, except for [info]kittyarrr who found my lj and friended me the next day.

I should scan some of the stuff I drew at both of these excursions, but I'm too lazy right now. I was hoping to finish off the High Priestess tonight - I finally got a good bg sketch for her the other day, and it's been scanned and put into the AI file, with the figure rescaled to actually fit into it - but I really just don't have the energy to tackle it; I look at the nearly-finished woman-pair sitting atop a rough bg sketch and just wince at how much work it looks like. This is mostly because of how I brought the sketch in, but even so I just don't feel like trying to conquer this fear reflex right now; tomorrow I'll try again.

It begins to feel like canceling work for most of this month was the right move; I know I can wake up Monday and start on this piece while I still have some inertia from the last few days. Maybe I'll manage to do a card every other day for a while!


blue:done; purple: in progress; grey: awaiting sketch; red: contains sketch but no work; yellow: extra cards, do not touch until after the traditional 78 are ready to print for the show

Also, one of the flowers I have in a pot out on the balcony is finally starting to bloom. Maybe I'll be able to remember what the hell I actually planted there tomorrow.

And finally, I feel I should mention my unexpected birthday present from the universe: Tits. No, seriously. A couple weeks ago (before I started fiddling with my hormone regimen) my boobs started growing, quite unexpectedly, and I now seem to be on the low side of a B-cup. And they still ache in that 'busy growing' kind of way. Thanks, universe, it's exactly what I didn't know a good way to ask for! ♥
