Unswept away…
As anyone in New York will tell you, autumn has come in earnest. This morning the leaves on my block were beginning to pile up, with the rain making it even harder for my fastidious neighbors to get them swept clean quickly enough. I went with some friends to drive upstate and do some fall type stuff, and then attended a party in Manhattan this evening where there was talk of the “last outdoor sex of the season”. But let’s not kid ourselves: the dank and the chill make the outdoors appropriate for only desperate, doomed Wiemar style couplings why the streetcars grind past, hauling the despairing back to their scanty coal stoves. We’ve officially entered “Raw out here isn’t it? Come back to my place and I’ll warm you up” weather.
And that’s fine by me too.

Long evening spent drawing, to little effect. Mostly because the drawing consisted of a lot of dicking around on Photoshop because there’s stuff about it that I can’t figure out. And my brush technique is atrocious. Oh well, live and learn.
In twenty-four hours I will have seen the season four premiere of the Venture Brothers. I’m breaking my TV fast for its sake. There’s some folks who can draw.
