It’s a satellite moon, it’s a plagiarised tune, the duck on the lake’s a decoy…”
– Flanders & Swann
Brush and ink and photoshop, trying to loosen up after the last few weeks of solid comic-ing.
There was a partial lunar eclipse last weekend – I remembered just as I went to bed and rushed out to stand on the front steps in my pajamas admiring it.
Here’s the new blog header as well:

I love how, even though the picture is in shades, it has so much colour to it.

Thanks, Kelly! That’s good to hear :)

“It is only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sea…”
I actually like the header better than the illustration.

Thanks, I think :) I know the lyrics and have never heard the song – I should look it up.

You’ve added a hyphen?

The old-old version of “Paper Moon” is pretty good, but there’s a newer version by an American singer-songwriter named Erin McKeown that I like a lot. I just think it’s a wonderfully written song, whoever sings it.
I added a hyphen because people were mistakenly calling me christunity, and while I certainly have no beef with Jesus, he’s not what my handle is about. I thought the hyphen would help people to read the word before assuming. :)

Lovely!

:) Thanks!

Lovely! You’ve really captured that feeling of looking out at the night sky on a summer night.
July 5, 2010 at 6:31 am
Thank you, I am glad! It’s the middle of winter here, and summer nights are a very warming thought.

Very sweet illustration, mood setting and calming.

Thank you, Jean!

absolutely beautiful illustration; I love the new banner as well :)
July 5, 2010 at 6:32 am
Hello! And thank you!
July 2, 2010 at 10:55 am
I really like the line work in this. And the new banner is lovely!
July 5, 2010 at 6:32 am
Thank you very much!

Nice job – I like how you change your header. Do you change it every month? If so very neat idea!
July 5, 2010 at 6:32 am
Yes, I change it every month, just one of my projects. I should probably find one I like and stick with it :)
July 7, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Oh no! Unless it’s a big strain on you, I hope you keep changing the header! The variety’s lovely.

I really like that header…interesting how both illustrations have a lunar/celestial theme, yet (to me, anyway) they are quite different.
July 5, 2010 at 6:33 am
Thanks, Will – that’s actually good to hear.

Thank you all!
