It's been a long hiatus. I'll be documenting the process of printing Manmachine here. The historical context may also seep into conversation. If you are new to Manmachine, it is a comic book in the genre of science fiction.


Coping with Covid-19 is tough. There are some bright spots in the gloom. Living room ping pong is not safe but is pretty fun.

This desk is not so fun. It is the Wacom based system on an old IBM Thinkstation running Windows 7. I keep the driver at an obsolete level because something changed for the worse in pen responsiveness. All of this became somewhat irrelevant during the pandemic. The drawing station became a disaster response planning center.
Here is a Rotel turntable that is a faithful companion during long work at home nights. I listen mostly to a combination of ipod, vinyl, and cds. Not yet done much with streaming music.
Assistant director role in a top secret Lego project.

I'll be posting here more frequently after thinking about the pros and cons of social media as a form of web archiving. Stay safe!
