The Sky Dripped with Demon Sweat

Life has been feeling like a wrestling match lately, where I'm half naked, grappling with my opponent, who wears a hilarious leotard labeled DELIRIUM and slaps out of the match with his partner, CLARITY. They're winning I guess, leaving me with bubbles that rise up from my head and pop~
It's pretty fun even if it means I sweat in the cold.Life is overrun by cats!

Everywhere ~ in my armpit, on some blankets, on the back porch, sleeping on my bag:

And of course I was attacked by the scandalous, picture texting sprees of Mr. P. Sniffles, states away scratching himself:

(what a sweetheart)

And home from the beautiful road trip, I ran into three lovelies at the Grafton: Jennefa, Kyle, and Blayne (not pictured)

I came to draw alone in the corner but ended up enjoying their delightful ways. Kyle, Blayne, Anthony, and Michelle will be sharing a house right down the street come November.
AND one of the most beautiful people I've ever known might be coming out to visit me next month. I can't contain my excited self!

SO ~ "Le Cat Show" by Sarah Bendix and Mikalina Rabinsky was a true delight and engaging. The Chopin Theater was set aglow...
And apparently I'm the very last person to see the Baron Munchausen, which split my head right open letting goopy German-Irish-Polish brains spill out all over my room mates' beautiful rug:And so long for now, Chicago. I'm heading out to the country again to shake loose some of these city woes. But I'm bringing you with me Freddie :)

DemonRest

A perfectly gray Sunday afternoon for laundry, drawing, Around the Coyote things, and taking it easy. Maybe the random twitchings will finally leave my face. A friend said I looked older last night, but more in the Coming Into One's Manhood way. Today brought with it early morning visions of TRUTH:

Seasons

This Halloween will be TERRIFYING but maybe not for holiday related reasons. Love is in the Autumn Air~

Today, sitting by the river on my break at work, falling asleep a little, I felt a clean desire to hear Trask's "Origin of Love" again. Putting it on the headphones I followed each of our shadow puppet cues and came to tears at the part David did while singing it one night on stage. I had to - from the thought of him, and realizing that it's been weeks since the whole project ended. I am never building such a perfect puppet sequence again without video taping it.

A Son of Lars

Have been working on album design drawings for Matt Larson's first CD lately. It's going pretty well, almost done ~ Got to see him play recently and was reminded of how powerful his presence can be. Click on one of the drawings to make it bigger! Old Sad Sac McGovern's gotta go to work now, boo.

Still Reeling

Back in Chicago and feeling nice and overwhelmed~ Louisville was an unbelievable whirlwind of joy spent. Intoxicating, life has a ring.
