SixBySix – Week 29

Before this week’s art here’s the important reminder: Please remember, this is personal and hand-made and thus imperfect. If you want perfect art, do not buy mine. Also one more reminder that these are pretty small. 5.5inches by 5.5inches. That’s about 14×14 centimeters). You will just get the original piece of watercolor paper with my art and signature in the back. No mounting, no frame. I don’t want to misrepresent anything. I will put a paypal button under each (you can pay with credit card or paypal.) the button doesn’t update so you will have to click through to see if it’s sold out. I will try to update them as quickly as I can and remove the button if it’s gone, but just in case. Each piece will be $35. That’s US dollars. If you have questions please leave a comment and I will reply as fast as I can.

With that here’s this week’s art:

it reads: you are never as alone as you think. reach out.

A Book a Week – The War Against the Rull

I read The War Against the Rull because I promised Jake I would. Like years ago. And then finally we decided we would both read it at the same time.

This is a science fiction story. I don’t usually read science fiction but I will read if I think it’s good. I have read many of Phillip K Dick’s short stories and loved them all. This particular book was hard at the beginning but I really really enjoyed it and I am very glad I read it.

I am extra glad that it was a book that both Jake and I got to enjoy a book together and we talked about it for a while. It’s rare that we read the same book so that was an extra benefit.

Gratitude Journal – Week 26

Here’s this week’s gratitudes and celebrations:

I had intended to use the last two weeks’ pages while I was in Turkey but I ended up deciding otherwise and instead of coming back and retrofitting my gratitudes, I decided to just pickup where I’d left off and fill up the two pages starting from there. So this and next week, I’ll be using the pages I shared in the last two weeks.

Before:

it says: life doesn’t have to be perfect to be amazing. it is the simple things that make life wonderful.

and here’s what the page looks like with all the gratitudes and celebrations:

Just another excuse to create art and remember the present that is my life.

A Book a Week – Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore

I read Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore just cause it looked fun and had been on my list for a while.

As it turned out it was a lovely geeky novel. It got a little contrived by the end and if you’re not into Silicon Valley, you might find it really truly ridiculous. There was a lot of Google in the book and most of it was unabashedly untrue. Way over the top. Ridiculous.

But I still enjoyed reading it. It was fun, light, sweet. And not one I’ll remember for a long time.

Your mileage might vary.
