Miscellany, Musings and Mystery

Space age cosmonauts anyone?

And other things, randomly:

*Deadlines and projects are keeping me really, really, really busy right now, but I'm trying to catch up on some diary comic entries and should have those up perhaps-ish over the weekend. Speaking of the weekend, Happy 4th to those stateside and Happy Canada Day/Bonne Fête du Canada to you nice people up North.

*The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics is crazy awesome. If you have the slightest interest in a digital workflow for illustration, pick this one up.

*Lesley Barnes' animation for Belle and Sebastian is supremely delightful.

*Annnnd I decided to start a craft blog. I like keeping this space mostly illustration focused, so if it involves knitting/sewing/crochet/or my obsession with baking homemade thin mints, it's over here.

And I found this on the sidewalk the other morning. I'd like to think it's part of some elaborate scenario in which I pick up the number, knock three times at an obscure alley-way door, get inducted into a secret society, etc., etc., etc. In reality, I found it near a pre-school, which probably offers a more plausible (yet mundane) explanation.

I think I prefer my initial hypothesis a bit more, however...
