I’m not a self-reflective type person. I never really have been. I have aspired to be so at times during my life – usually during times where I’m dissatisfied with the direction things are going. But it’s never really been something I’m good at or good at following through with. I have a tendency to say I’m going to...
Saying yes to ideas and requests is fun, but isn't always strategic.

It's in the 90s here in Stephen King Country, and sticky outside, so honestly until I must leave the house, I'm staying inside and doing art things today. Here's a little something I put together today, to keep myself pleased. As always, no AI in this one, just good old fashioned postwork. Stay cool, friends. Send...
