Early this morning saw the approach of Isaac, which ended up being much ado about nothing... lots of heavily gusting winds and a rather impressive deluge, but, overall no big deal. But, now it's back to the drudgery of cleaning up the minor tree damage and residential street flooding due to rainfall.
Weekly Words
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
-Neil Armstrong (1930-2012)
By making those small steps, we make those giant leaps reality every day.
Current Project
During the approach of Isaac's outflow rain bands last night, MCA Hogarth and I were texting back and forth that some hurricane-themed art might be a good project to tackle. Seeing as we both live in Florida, I agreed!

The two square red flags with black center squares are the US Storm Signal flag arrangement that indicate a hurricane. Use of Storm Signal flags was discontinued by US Coast Guard back in 1989, after 100 years of use, due to the expanded reach of radio and television to warn and advise residents in threatened areas. In recent years, they've been making a comeback, particularly on coastal waterways and beaches for boaters and tourists.
(Living in Miami, home of the University of Miami Hurricanes, this flag arrangement never really went away here, just got co-opted to show support for the team sports.)
Near Future
Near future plans include completing my remaining open commissions, mostly, and hopefully squeaking some personal art in there, along with contemplating designs for this year's Holiday Card design.
There's Kickstarter planning in there, too... once I figure out what I'm doing and the best way to get what I want done done.
I am currently planning on attending Necronomicon in late October in Tampa, FL, just trying to figure out travel arrangements.
Feel free to post links to this journal/community if you feel there might be interest in my artwork!
