I drew Wayne Coyne from the band The Flaming Lips in June for a wedding gift for a couple that got married in May. When I dressed up for Hallowe'en as my older self (dyed white hair plus fake ponch) I was told I looked like Coyne. Having studied his face for the above portrait I can say confidently that we do not have similar faces. ¶ Speaking of weddings, we went to a great one this weekend. It was in London, so we had ample opportunity to tell new friends and old about our upcoming move to the Forrest City while simultaneously celebrating a couple doing the opposite. We met some great people from Arizona, Japan, and down the street. It felt good, but it also felt very real. ¶ Have lately been boring people with: talking about Grizzly Man, sharing stories from Jeffrey Steingarten's The Man Who Ate Everything and Michael Crichton's The Great Train Robbery. Thanks for humouring me. ¶ Today was a near-perfect conclusion to the weekend. I lazed about by the pool, read, drank some beer, and then cooked up some sausages before heading back to the big smoke. For a moment it felt like I was on vacation and it was great. ¶ Good night. Here's to the meat of the summer.
