All lightly shimmering in the heat, these lifeforms, like wonders much reduced. Rough likenesses thrown up at hearsay after the things themselves had faded in men's minds.

Drawings lately -- a lot of these are in styles that I don't usually use, so it was fun (and a little painful) to stretch my bounds …
There's some excellent December-wind-down vibes about the place lately.
Also complemented by fine warm days (finally, as always in Melbourne), the best seasonal fruit, playdates with the neighbourhood pack of big-red-dogs (ridgebacks and boxers), my Santa Rita Opuntia growing another pad, finding a rad ‘esoteric’ section in the second-hand book shop … aaaaand I’m quitting commission work and being a professional farmland sun-drinker for the next couple of weeks.

One week left in the office, one week left in this dry, southern city.
My sister sent me a text last week -- excited about me coming home to the north coast of NSW -- saying something along the lines of: "We're going to make amazing cocktails, hunt through antique stores, and swim in the river!"
It's a fairly accurate summary of life on the farm over the summer holidays … and I cannot wait.
A little mid-week stop-motion magic for you … one of my favourite kinds of magic.
