Argento has been in DEFCON 1 PUPPY MODE all morning.
He wants to bring that chaos to the couch, but Lady Ivy Hazelnut will not grant him passage.
She set her boundaries with him early. The only of our three cats he respects. He’s afraid of her.

I finally upgraded to Pro and added my photo to my IMDB page. 🙃
Animation brought me to Austin. A new and wonder filled chapter in my life.
I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the vibrant community of film, publishing, gaming, fine art, and design creatives in this town. So thankful for them.

Throwback to one of my favorite spooky shadow boxes.
Constructed for a Halloween group show I used to organize for other Austin art peeps at Amy’s Ice Cream.
Constructed of paper, foam core, & rubber cement (& is in pieces now). Would love to start doing these hand painted in balsa.

We were there for qualifying & sprint Saturday.
DRIVE TO SURVIVE (Netflix) introduced me to F1. I’m a fan (of Ferrari, specifically, but admire most teams & drivers).
Hot October day (par for the course in Austin). But a wonder filled day all around.
