Tallyhi my friends!

Some Advent Meditations–as sketched out by the hand of the Artist in those surrounding me

Hey friends! I’m sorry I was absent this week. It was more or less intentional. I’ve been working really hard, and socializing really hard (cuz holidays), and I’ve been kinda sick on top of it, so I decided to let blogging go in order to catch up on writing posts in a leisurely fashion, and […]

Autumn–A Meditative Sketch

This is a companion to my posts on Spring and Summer. This sketch and the character of Autumn was inspired by St Dorothy, as well as a variety of folk songs. I’d like to dedicate it to all of those in this world who have not yet set foot upon the Royal Road. Summer, move […]

Strange Trails–new delightful media discoveries and some bittersweet life discoveries into the bargain

Hello, my friends! I hope you’re well. I am managing. It’s been quite the week, to be honest. All my coworkers suddenly had health or family emergencies and had to dip out as a result, so I’ve been working ten hour days. I mean, I’m happy to do it, because of course they need to […]

‘Sup guys. How’s your lives been? In no particular order, mine has been chaotic, dreadful, and splendid all at once. The dread and the chaos I will not be explaining in any real detail, but the splendid bits I’d like to tell you about. I think this post is just going to be a general […]
