Nature finds a way
Two new arrivals (of six)
Two of my favorite head sculpts on these guys, I really like the “orc” and “angler-pirahna” vibes with these guys. Left is Guardian of the Green, a pretty solid homage to Moss man, and on the right is Arthrodak Carpokill who is pretty much a Battle Beast homage.
The alternate heads that came with the Guardian of the Green made it tough to choose, and the yellow tint and furry tampos made the green body really pop with color. Arthrodak came with alternate wolf and helmet heads too, but the fish face is a no brainer for me, unless they include a gorilla noggin.

Caution, man, hole.
Date: August 21, 2023
Emerging from the dimly lit sanctuary of my abode, I ventured forth onto the verdant tapestry of the greenway, a realm carved through the urban sprawl by the hands of forgotten architects. The morning, still in its somnolent embrace, offered respite from the impending wrath of the sun.
Not content with retracing my previous steps, I chose to navigate the untrodden path, a decision that rewarded me with the solace of obscurity beneath the ancient arches that bridged worlds—both physical and metaphysical. There, beneath the cool shadow cast by the bridge’s span, and amidst the embrace of arboreal sentinels that dared to touch the heavens, I found a momentary reprieve from the relentless march of time.
Yet, it was not solely the interplay of light and shadow that held my attention captive. My journey, like a riddle unfolding, revealed a tableau both curious and arcane—a stone circle, nestled within the bosom of nature, bearing witness to eras past and the unfurling future. A relic of unknown origin, its enigma whispered secrets to the winds, secrets I yearned to unravel.
With a heart alight with curiosity, I felt compelled to summon the kindred spirits of Sisto and Brak, the mystics attuned to the cosmic symphony, to this sacred threshold. In the clasp of its enigmatic stones, perhaps the duo would channel the currents of ancient rites, invoking forgotten deities and bridging the chasm between our reality and the realms that lie beyond.
But such endeavors are etched in the flux of uncertainty, for time, that ever-shifting current, is prone to erasing the traces of the past, and my newfound discovery might yet succumb to the inexorable sweep of transience.
As the orb of day climbed higher, casting a cascade of fervent light upon the world, I retraced my steps homeward, thoughts of arcane circles and veiled mysteries swirling in the cauldron of my mind. The greenway had yielded its secrets, and I—like the modern-day magus that I fancied myself—had dared to tread where others might not.
Now, as my quill rests and my thoughts unfurl, I shall watch the passing hours, wondering if the stone circle shall beckon once more, drawing me into its orbit of enigma and revelation. Until then, I stand vigilant, a solitary seeker of truth, forever captivated by the dance of light and shadow, the dance of past and future, that plays upon the canvas of existence.

Hanging out together with breakfast this morning and supper last night. She is a gobbly little nom baby when she eats her wet food, and crunches loudly with dry. #misspearl #catsofinstagram #tabbycatsofinstagram #stripedcatsofinstagram #catstagram #august172023 #roanokeva

ce n’est pas un chapeau
Harold discovers that his new bowler hat and apple are just a little too small for him to wear as a Margritte tribute. I may have to scale it up slightly. Not bad for a first attempt though. Back to the 3d printing millener.
Additionally, I think this may be the first time my mind has formed the phrase “I have to adjust the apple flange a bit”
