Been working a lot… less energy for art. Austin left and no further characters of inspiration around, until recently. Went to Bumbershoot and fell in love with Jason Webley. Charismatic accordionist.

Thanks to Don Hertzfeldt and the people in my life who have recommended the viewing of his work (you know who you are…), I thought I would put my new scanner to the test. C– . Passed, but maybe user error… I don’t know… Anywho, this piece feels…
