Here's another old piece from art school. I don't remember what posessed me to paint a naked, pregnant tree woman. I'm going through a big reading thing right now. I'm always reading, but sometimes it's all I want to do. I go through book after book, not even finishing some. Some notable books I've gone through are Neil Gaiman's M Is For Magic, China Mieville's UnLunDun, and right now I'm reading Tim Power's The Anubis Gates. I read a great book about five or ten years ago by Tim Power's called On Stranger Tides which I enjoyed a lot. It's about zombie pirates, if I remember correctly. This one's about ancient Egypt and time travelling and were- wolfs and Lord Byron. I think Tim Powers is really under-rated. As for my drawing, I've been busy on a pirate ship that flies beneath a balloon and designing a house for a giant. In the clouds. I keep changing my mind. First it was a 16th century Spanish castle, then it looked like a Norwegian stave church and then it looked like a chalet in the swiss alps. Now I'm leaning toward something like an English country church.

She looks a little mad. Great colors and expression on her face.
I am envious that you can get so much reading done.
I'd better get in now, before I get too busy.
All my characters toward the end of art school either looked mad or worried.
