“Animal Print” Xmas Letters
Nil, Manju, ampersand, Cerina, Kum-kum, Ramona, John, Amal
Watercolor, inkjet and rollerball on paper.
Here’s the beautifully wrapped packages that Mary did. She’s so awesome!
Comma Commute
I moonlight doing legal copyediting for my friend Al. I usually do this work during my commute to and from my regular job at HAP. This page collects all the times I wrote “comma” on the last five or six briefs that I worked on. I’m never sure how many peaks and valleys I put on the double-M in comma when I write it out on the bumpy train.
Here’s a painting of the comma collection. Inkjet and watercolor on paper. Hi, Al!
