As the cyclone swirls and the witches fly by on bicycles, I casually draw monsters and ghosts and think about the days when the cyclone was just a dust devil... That's the way it goes, sometimes! (Looking forward to warm enough weather to sit out in the backyard with a beverage and a sunset again...)
Here's some artz!

"Self Portrait" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

As most of you probably already know, I'm poor, but that's what happens when you are a FOOL and take a vow of poverty. (I don't necessarily REMEMBER taking a vow of poverty, but it would explain A LOT!!!) Regardless of my lack of economic bounty, I still like to support artists when I can. In that spirit, here are some of the ARTZ that I have managed to ACQUIRE over the last few weeks or months or something. (I'm still bad with time...)
