What’s up around here? The weather’s finally getting nice again, so we’ve been taking long walks to soak up the sunshine and trying to drive out the winter doldrums. I’m helping Eleanor get ready for another shadow puppet performance, this Sunday. We went to this free showing of “Enter the Dragon,” and the lack of human empathy therein made Eleanor feel upset. We’ve been going to figure drawing sessions every Weds. over at the UGA art building. I’ve broken out the big newsprint pads and charcoal for the first time since my SCAD days, just to switch it up, get my hands all charcoaly again.

And the inking Set to Sea crawls ever-nearer the finish line.

Three little Secret Science Alliance-related things:

• SSA won in the “Best Graphic Novel” in an online kids’ book award called the “Cybils.”

• Here’s a pretty cute sketch of Greta. Since Joey helped to make the book, I guess it probably doesn’t count as fan art.

• There’s an video interview with Eleanor and other SSA cohorts up at TCJ.com right now, part 1 here, part 2 here. I’m far too embarrassed to watch it myself.
