A satisfying piece of work:

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a guest post by Fredrick Cloyd. Not only will it knock your socks off, but it’s also our first Open Mic that features a book excerpt! See you then!

OMG! (Please pardon the Val-Speak!) I love this one too! So much vibrancy, but not just the coloring — the life! I’m really digging your work.

Can you paint/draw buildings? If so, if you ever feel like you want a diversion (like I sometimes like to write from an off-the-wall prompt) I’ve got a toddler book you could illustrate! 🙂

  Thank you, Ré!
  
  I don’t know if I can do buildings. I haven’t had much practice, but I should get more! How long is the book? 🙂

  Thank you! 😀 😀 I always say, nothing wrong with stick figures! 🙂 Hyperbole and a Half never fails to make me giggle.

I’m a little late — haven’t been on in a bit — but I wanted to say that I like this painting very much.

  Thank you so much, FoldedFlat. 🙂 I’m still liking it a great deal too… I come back and look at it every few days, it feels like.
