A lot can change in a month. For me, not too much has.
The weather, though, that’s a different story. It’s beginning to feel like spring out there, which means it’s time to break out your hot pants and your open-toed loafers! I’m only speaking to my fellow California residents, of course. You East Coast friends should probably continue to wear your snow pants and your ice cleats and your fleece-lined turtlenecks for a little while longer.
Regardless of your barometer readings, I do have a couple of items to share. First: there’s an interview with me over at Osmosis Online that you should check out if you would like to know things like where the name “Minty” comes from and why I draw fruit. Second: I will be attending the annual Stumptown Comics Fest, which will take place on April 24th and 25th in Portland, Oregon. I’ll be sharing a table with a talented lot (Damien Jay, Joey Alison Sayers, Susie Cagle, and Elenore Toczynski) and have a new minicomic, so you should definitely book your travel now if you haven’t already. That’s pretty much it for me today, I have to get back to sunning myself on a rock.
Hahah – Yes, here is Maine we continue to layer because that’s what we were taught to do on the East Coast! I will not even think about packing away my thermal, fleece Stabilicers ice cleats, and the loads of lyrcra people give me.
I like your approach and my mom only has terriers as dogs (the Jack Russell variety) and I LOVE this that you wrote: I work with the tools I have.
Keep doing it the way you are,
Heather
ps: This, is great: She’s doing the best she can with the tools she has.
Thanks, Heather. I’m a little jealous that people give you loads of lycra, but even so I will be sure to recommend your Stabilicers™ ice cleats to any and all who are at risk of slipping.
