This is Betty.

And this is Brownie (also known as Mercedes, or Cedes).

They live in our house. We are "trying them out" for a week to see if they work. So far they seem to work well - they make me smile every time I look at them. They are very shy, because they were feral, but they are getting to know us and will let us pet them.

Brownie has a bb embedded in her back, from when some idiot shot her.

Betty is scared of everything.

It looks like quite a project.

But when they clean each other, it may be the cutest thing in the entire world.

New art from Jennifer Dunlap arrived yesterday. I first saw her stuff at one of the SCAD open studios, and was totally blown away; these were commissioned based on that style, and here they are!

Texas is hot, and sunny (finally!), and full of work. Jess is working at Flip Happy Crepes which was just featured on The Food Network, resulting in a 5x level of business (so she's pretty damn busy). I'm froggin' away, making an impact and raising the bar, yeah, like that.

The house is almost all painted, and even though the damn couch still hasn't arrived yet, it feels just like home. I guess I'm getting kind of used to sitting on the ground.

And I own a lawnmower, which is so domestic.

* update:

I guess it runs in the family. Parents sent me a photo of my grandfather and uncle, mowin' away.
