Sloth is sloth-sized, so the bonsai tree seems like it is quite nearby, but for microscopic Tardigrades, that might be - a little farther…

Oh hey! I’ll be in my hometown of Livermore, California, on Saturday July 22nd from 11 to 4 for a wee comic con - I’ll have some books, and stickers, and myself, and I’d love to see you. There’s an exhibit up too, with tons of narrative art and a big ol’ Iron Man statue and a bit of Sloth and Manatee even. Yay!


This week’s not-tarot: Species

Do you ever just sit around and marvel at all the forms of life?

And also our capacity to imagine things?


I recently let myself do some automatic drawing, which for me always seems to end up with some sort of sunrise/sunset scenario. These were over successive days but I noticed that it’s like a little sunrise story where bunny there walks off and then sits peacefully. Also I am appreciating the Grateful Dead bear type of pose of the bunny in the middle. Keep on Truckin’.

Hey if you share this newsletter, and people subscribe, your email might light up with an Aardvark or a Lion or I might draw you a Thinking Card - yes yes! More details here.

That’s enough nonsense for now. Have a splendid week!

May you remember a good song, may you sit fashionably on a nice chair, won’t you be my neighbor?

The dragon in Species reminds me of Trogdor the Burninator (sans muscle arms) and that was a nice foray down memory lane. I also appreciate how Sloth’s conversation with the Tardigrades invites reflection on perspective!
