How we live out-of-routine to feed the work. A week away from home with words and drawings. Vepertine, continuing to take shape. In closing, Sphinx.

How we make room and have fun. Refilling the well, ergonomics, keyframes, characters, community. First draft fiction, in closing.

How we break 'em (and how they break us). Heat, sanity, repetition, supernovas.

How we go through. The "intro to the night house" sequence. Malaise, words, strangeness.

How we in-between. Scotland, UK, NYC. Vespertine, re-anchored. Knicks in 6! A catch-up issue.

How we residency. With stillness, in safety, through belonging. A day in the life; defragmenting Vespertine; terror kindly.

How we look back to move forward. A closer peek at the sketchbook. Grace and gratitude. A sign.

How it goes on. Voyages, a break from the film, a mini zine, and a birthday.

How flowers fall. Getting stuck, unstuck, being in the middle of it. The latest sequence with sound. A conversation with a diplomat from Dubai.

How a lot of it isn't. Eraser debris, downshooter iteration, slogging away. MacDowell, excepted. Onward.
