Hello!

Slight content shift starts here.

My newest task in life is to try and validate a micro-manufacturing center here in Atlanta. I don’t know about anyone else but to me this is exciting! We are lucky enough, or unlucky enough (depending on your slant) to enjoy a relatively low standard of living here. This makes it possible to easily compete with other regions of the US for manufacturing projects. This coupled with technology that minimizes labor costs makes here and now great for a maker. Stay tuned.

Old violent puppet sketch.

First thing I ever got paid to draw. I was like 13 and I got fifty bucks I think. This was the for the outline of a chalkboard in an interior design store. Symmetry is overrated…

Magnolias, camellias, and dogwoods are my favorite flowers. All are more like trees with small side-effects as opposed to actual petal magic machines.

- Animalish day. Saw a big (for the city) snake on the way to work. Awesome. Love to see signs of wilderness in the very unjunglely place I live. No picture so ya’ll will have to make do with a throw back drawing of a flying squirrel.

- Also super into letter words. Like alfa, bravo, charlie. So thats nothing gets lost in transmission. This is sort a platform for transmission so perhaps I should take precautions so you can be sure to understand… (we’ll just ignore the obvious lack of auditory or auditory interference : ) )

This painting kind fits the theme – color wise that is. Been having a lot of unexpected run ins with this notion of countrydom. Working for a gov’t contractor has that affect I suppose. I am not one to argue about the awesomeness of america, but it pays the bills…..and teaches me some gnarly stuff about field medicine.
