Haha these were all so great! I am ALWAYS seeing faces in woodgrain and flowers and marble. I should really take pictures and try to draw them

I cannot tell you how much of a state of flow I entered while drawing these. The story tells itself while I’m drawing them

Fascinating, "dark matter" is a real thing after all. No need for a billion dollar Hubble telescope to send into space... Send Thig!

If carbon energy cannot be destroyed and a part of me exist in that energy after this skin suit expires, I would love nothing more than to float endlessly through space

I hope you slipped on the peel).

While the cursed dodging the peel 🤸

You are such an amazing artist why don't you just break in to star wars and highjack them. Then you won't be worrying about your lawwwn if you install a grenade in there.

I’ve applied so many times on so many shows to be a concept artist for Lucas arts. Generally I am not their type of artist but my buddy did all the backgrounds for the young Jedi series.

Just thought I would leave a comment here to tell you that the face I saw in your cloud picture... Admiral Akbar from Return of the Jedi. For some reason it was important to me that you know that. Now I can rest.

I really enjoyed everything about this. I used to sit and (sometimes still) stare at the marble tiles in the bathroom for hours and I have a hard time with Rorschachs because I see several things all at once. Thanks for teaching me this new word (and for the hilarious commentary).

I LEARNED IT TOO FOR THIS ARTICLE! That’s why I’m doing these, I’m curious and want to learn things I’ve only just observed but not delved deeper into. My favorite is to stare at a lit spot on the floor or somewhere that’s bright and then close my eyes and make images from the weird psychedelic swirls of color that are there. It’s so cool

I treat this zine (or newsletter) like a job. Heather and I were feverishly making last minute edits while watching the ball drop on Tuesday night. (Also my footnotes are off by one. Which adds to the nonsense :D)

Funny we do that so much. It’s my guess that’s how a lot of myths and gods were created.

Great read & I live your work! I've been a cloud gazer for years & just recently started noticing faces in the Taillights of Cars😁. That's gonna be a thing eventually! Gives me inspiration to stop & draw what I see more often 😎

Thank you Mr. Grande! And I saw that you like graphite. Man I cannot tell you the years (decades?) of me, graphite and newsprint paper. Good times.

Taillights are a new one for me. I will check this out next time I’m on the road
