Cycling and the soul of man

I don't know what it is about Latin.  Nobody speaks it.  About the only folks who know what it means without looking it up are Catholics and scientists.  It's probably the mystery aspect of it.  You have to kind of dig a little bit to figure it out.  I like making art like that, and as a result, that preference has likely relegated me to the back of the line in many instances.  People don't usually like to be challenged, and after 35 years, I don't blame them for being that way.  Life is dang hard, guys.

Especially when you take it seriously.  

So don't.  

When I dig down past the soul and into the Spirit, there's a smile and a laugh.  When I feel like I have to much to deal with, when I'm overwhelmed, I more often than not hear from those deepest parts, "It's just a ride.  Relax, smile, enjoy yourself."

So this is my reminder.  Sit Spiritus agit anima.  Let the Spirit drive the soul.
And as all things of Cosmic significance should be made available, you can get this on a shirt HERE.

So much fun, you have to be ready for it.

 I think the key to handling a backpacking trek is to always be generally active. Walk, run, bike, skateboard, roller skate —- whatever. Our bodies are made to move, and we need to keep them moving.

You can spend that time instead on figuring out how to make sure you have what you’ll need and still be able to carry that monster of a pack on your back.  Those things are heavy.

Hey guys!  This is pretty neat.  One of my books I wrapped up recently was selected for "The Original Art" children's book illustration show that starts at the Society of Illustrators this month.  Those Candlewick people really know how to put a book together, and Ann Stott's script is hilarious. You can buy it here. here.

On Sobriety and keeping an eye on your characters . . .

 Deadpan Stan.     I take so much in stride anymore that I get amazed when I back up and actually reflect on what exactly is going on. I created this character (or maybe “discovered” is a better term) over 20 years ago when I was crafting comics in college. Someday I’ll have to expound more fully on the nature of all the characters I had created over that time. Seeing how they’re all little facets of my own subconscious displaying traits I was ignorant of at the time is just . . . weird.      So Deadpan Stan was an undertaker with a drinking problem that played a kind of Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner game with another character — a mostly naked man with no head. His goal was to capture the obviously dead naked man and put him in the grave where he belonged. Deadpan was never successful. Even when he was able to get the corpse into the ground, the corpse had friends who would dig him out.      After many years marinating in the seasoned wine of time, the spiritual reality (or what oth
