PDP #18 - The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll

I've always liked this poem and find myself thinking of it whenever about to broach a subject... "The time has come..."

I suppose it's an odd choice for Thanksgiving week for the US folks, but one can be thankful one is not an oyster!

Delayed Show

My apologies for the delayed show this week. A friend passed away last week and yesterday was his services. His life was cut short by complications from leukemia even after a bone marrow transplant months before had looked promising enough that he had even returned to work. His rapid decline in health was a bit of a shock, and also in some ways I don't think you are ever prepared for the news of a death of a friend.

He was a fantastic artist and a wonderful man and was supportive of my art as he was of every artist with whom he came into contact. So, I will be releasing a show this week as I know he would've wanted me to keep creating.

Plus, he would have appreciated a good tale of creepy adventure.
