I have been having kind of a very difficult year. One thing that I can depend on and feel good about is my work on Anime Sickos Podcast. It is a unique and hilarious show and I am deeply proud of it and myself as a host and producer. It would kick ass if you could give it a listen.

This is what you're actually looking at, btw. An exceptionally cool piece by David Wallace Haskins called Image Continuous. 3 sides are mirrors, but the 4th is this, a view of the sky framed by a reflection of the woods. It is ever changing, ever responsive to the conditions above & around the cube.
