the end of summer

Even though weather.com tells me its in the 80's outside, I find that hard to believe. I'm over you summer, and I'm super over august. How over summer am I? Well, while patrolling my art blogs this morning I came across this image from Mike Laughed that made my stomach lurch (in a good way):


Seeing the fall colors like that...the oranges, golds, and black made me yearn for October. So much so that today I bought Murphy a Halloween themed stuffed bone at Petco.


Speaking of Puppy, we had a bit of a scare the other day. I woke up and his eyes were swollen shut with puss. Near as we can tell, he got something in his eye, and in an attempt to get it out he scratched his corneas. After a trip to the vet, he was relegated to wearing a radar dish, but now I've gotten him an inflatable ring collar, which should make it easier for him to eat and move about. And float.

On the graphic novel front, I have two more pieces of art I want to complete before I send the pitch out to my agent. Fingers crossed I get them done today.
