“We all have to grow up…” - M.S. Corley

In my ever-constant and deep love for Dirk Mai, I just visited the BoxEight website.  I rather like the blogging displayed on the homepage, but it was the redesigned Harry Potter covers that caught my eye.  Naturally, I clicked the link to go to the artist’s blog and I was incredibly surprised by the artwork on the blog!  M.S. Corley is incredibly talented.  The above image instantly made me want to blog about it because Calvin and Hobbes were something incredibly important in my childhood and the artwork on the website is just beautiful.  I know for sure that my dear horror fans will more than likely love his Horrors of Literature series (found here, here, and here).  “The Red Death” is my favorite.

In news that is not at all related, I fixed the comments links.  I fail at CSS.

I am in awe of Courtney Beckett’s talent.  She uses texture in a way that is unlike anything I’ve seen…  ever.  It’s not just this picture, either.  Every photograph on her website is alive with color and texture and they’re all beautiful.

Regina.  I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately.  She’s my best friend and one of two friends that live in this city that I can really just depend on no matter what.  She’s been given a conditional offer for a job in Fort Collins— a city that is just over two hours away.  As I am without vehicle (sad state), it will become very difficult to see my best friend, should she get the job.  In a way, my mind is preparing for this transition.

It’s not the first time Regina and I have spent a long time away from each other.  The year after I graduated high school, I spent nine months in Laramie, Wyoming for school while she stayed here.  We made it work then and I am very confident that we will make it work again this time.  It’s just that thinking these things is unavoidable.  When you have a friend you’ve known your whole life, it’s difficult being apart from them for any significant amount of time, even if you are happy for them.

If she gets the job, she starts July 8th.  That’s just under two weeks.  Ridiculous.  Crazy.  And exciting.

I think this is his best work yet.  I can’t even express how much I love this.

I always love the candids.

Sometimes I wonder if I really know what I’m doing.
