My art, in Tennessee (yet again!)...

Blogger and friend Daryl L.L. Houston (who also runs the impressive Infinite Zombies literature blog) and who has one of my drawings tattooed on his back has sent along a fantastic picture showing five of my Moby-Dick illustrations hanging on the wall of his office.

This was really and truly good for me to see. Each and every piece of art means a lot to me. I tend to give them all personalities and think of them as sentient things, so when I send them out into the world, especially alone, I worry about them. I've gotten to know Daryl just a bit, mostly through emails, but I genuinely like him and I know I can trust my art with him. But what's even better is seeing all of these pieces living together on his wall so that when the room is empty, they can keep one another company. Very very good.

Daryl has also written a brief blog post full of very kind words about the art right here. Many thanks, Daryl.
