i keep getting sad recorded messages from the art league saying they need people to come in for figure drawing workshops or they'll have to stop offering them. i really miss going, that was the best friday night you could have around here. and i been really itchy to draw, i miss doing portraits a lot. i'm hoping to doodle and draw the heck out of switzerland. until then, back to the needle and thread. slowly coming to terms with the fact that there's only so many hours in the day.

later today


my new best friend is a ghost.

...it's not a trick, but it's a trickster...

most of the things that live under your floorboards are mischievous, and often they're little thieves. some steal keys, some steal socks, some take that thing, where did you put it, it was right there...

this guy? what does he steal?

he steals toes.


did you ever get that feeling at night when you are lying in your bed, that if you dangle your foot over the side, something is going to zip by and bite it?


that's this guy


he runs around late at night on those big legs, snipping at the exposed and juicy toes of sleeping people


nom nom!


but, at only eight inches high, how does he reach those plump little piggies?

simple, he just stands up..
