These days I don’t get around to WP as often as I should, but it’s not for lack of desire. I’ve been spending the bulk of my creative time, offline, repurposing my cryptids and creatures. Additionally, I’ve been sketching, painting, barrelling through my menagerie of books and listening to history podcasts on my way to the gym. I’ve discovered, since reteaching myself history, not much has changed, yet everything has. And each day, after reading the news, I return to my quiet, non-territorial creatures who live, accept and love more honestly than mankind.
Art above – (Front of a blank card) I’ve been creating bookmarks, blank cards and good old-fashion postcards (remember those). Using the designer-light program, Canva, I merge my art with manipulated backgrounds then download the files for printing. I hope to bring these printed items to local shops, and I plan on selling them at the next enormous UFO Fair, June ’25.
I hope you’re all doing okay.

Yes, all is well here in the desert. My dad passed in early July, it’s very difficult losing a parent.

Oh, John
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful father- yes, losing a parent is beyond difficult-but the simple fact that you’re mourning shows the great love you shared – and that love will keep your dad in your heart ❤️

AH Dan, so sorry to read about your beloved Seymour – that’s the heart of the matter – our pets, like family members, don’t live forever, but our love for them does and the love keeps them close – always
great luck with Benny
