Here’s a set of pics.
The cat is my entry. It’s a Cat on a Box in a Field. Paper clay, wood, acrylic paint. It’s what a cat would do, right? The pic isn’t the best, but maybe that’s the best way to see it. It sold. The wood block is ancient from a box of children’s blocks I picked up ages ago.
Working mostly at home has its benefits. I get to see my daughter way more than a lot of parents and the house is a lot cleaner than when I spent my days at the GR compound. But I do miss companionship–even if it’s just Eric’s cats! In the last week, I actually saw a lot of people, though. If you read your copies of Giant Robot magazine carefully, you’ll know who some of them are. (Some are more obscure than others.) Quiz time:
