November is quickly approaching, and I’m not so sure I’m ready for it.
2009 has been a great year, and the fact that November is around the corner is just a reminder that the year is almost over. I only hope 2010 can be so good.
I hope you get some enjoyment from these playful pups on your desktop this month. If you like it, I encourage you to spread the word. Thanks.

Soon there will be no new way to update the world on what we are doing.
This has been a great month, and I believe it’s only going to get better. For one, it’s Julia’s birthday month so there will be some celebrating going on. I think that means more pumpkin pie for me. We’ll see.
As you know, last month’s wallpaper had us orbiting Saturn’s rings with Blackletter type. I decided to ground us a bit this month, but letting us down easy with Le Monde Livre PTF and a little inspiration from Scott McCall’s Meteor Shower sound-scape.
Please help me out in spreading the word. Below are the links to each available download, and some links to make it easier for you to share. (You can still add photos to the Wallpapers in Use Flickr group, too) Cheers!

I was thinking of having some T-shirts printed up, but I think I am going to concentrate on getting my online store setup with collage prints first. Once that’s sorted out, I’ll consider shirts. I’ve started redesigning my site, and have plans to overhaul my portfolio so look for those changes in the coming weeks.
Many of you have emailed about changes to Sugar Cane, and I hope to publish a new version that will solve some things that should have been taken care of long ago. I am sorry I have not replied to all of the emails, and I hope to get you the update soon!
And now for a couple of images from the archives:
This has been quite the month. It seems to have just begun, and now it has passed.
I am glad to be getting this month’s wallpaper posted while it is still August, but I am disappointed that it’s not a collaborative piece. We’ll have to do that for October. I’m becoming more adjusted to my new job, and should be able to get things together enough to let you know what to do to participate. Until then, please enjoy the beginnings of Autumn and this somewhat minimal wallpaper. If you are feeling ambitious, you can photograph your computer sporting the wallpaper (or any that I’ve created), and add them to my Flickr group.

They’re just two pages in my sketchbook that happen to look kind of nice next to each other. Also, the swan is a bee, and the dog is a zebra. Get it?
These letters were created during a logo design process this week, but since they won’t be used I thought they would look good here.
What are they congratulating you ask? Well, I’ve just accepted an offer to be a Composition Artist at McKinney. This is great for many reasons. The first being I get to commute (and work) with my lovely wife. Secondly, McKinney is full of great folks who I will get to learn from on a daily basis.
I have a few projects that will be wrapping up over the course of the next month that I am excited to show you, but as for taking on new projects, I think it would be best that I didn’t as my time is quite precious to me. I’m sure you understand.
I will continue making the monthly wallpapers as I have for about 18 months now, and I am working on a redesign of my site. Hopefully I’ll even get that online store that I keep talking about running!
The commute
I was thinking about it this afternoon, and realized I have not commuted more than a mile to my daily job in about eight years. I have worked at home for many of them. For others, I walked or rode my bike no more than a mile to work. In fact, I rarely leave the town I currently live in, and it’s small.
With that in mind, my most foreseeable hurdle is to get used to driving for at least an hour a day.
I took him through our apartment and to our back deck where I filmed him sneaking around on the table. He crawled towards me as he groomed his legs, than attacked!
Notice the screaming sounds of the cicada’s? So loud outside during North Carolina summers.
