Crochet, it turns out, isn’t all that different from guitar. Huh. Weird.

So, I’ve been learning to crochet. I’m not sure what triggered the impulse, but it seemed like it would be an inexpensive new hobby, so I went with it. I’ve only been at it for about a week, and what I never expected was how similar it was going to be to learning to play […]

Photos: Holmdel Park

More Holmdel Park/Longstreet Farm photos. We’ve got a few animals in this batch, not least of which is the very laid-back and sweet Longstreet Farm cat. This grouping was taken over a few weeks ranging from July to early August, if memory serves.

Clockwork

Done in Sketchbook on my tablet. Limiting myself to half a dozen layers is pretty tough, but I’m getting used to it. I always feel compelled to not merge layers until the end, just in case, but when you have a maximum number of layers, you definitely have to plan well. This started out as […]
