Trip to Paris

February 8, 2026 at 1:41 am

Here are some photo scans I recently found from my trip to France back in the summer of 2000. Most of these were taken on 110 Film.

The Paris Metro photo below was probably taken on my regular 35mm film camera.

Amusement park rides at a summer carnival in the Tuileries Garden – these are on 110 Film.

Other Paris area landmarks I visited included the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Picasso Museum, Musée d’Orsay, and the Palace of Versailles. I also did this freehand drawing of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. I regret not making more of an effort to see the interior, but it was so crowded and confusing that I ended up briefly popping my head in before giving up.

I also took a train into the countryside for a couple days and visited Angers. I saw the Cointreau Factory, and also the Apocalypse Tapestry at Château d’Angers, which was amazing. Hopefully one of these days I’ll have time to find and scan more photos of this trip.

I took this little photo series around 10 years ago in Chicago.

I took all the photos in this collage myself. There is one famous art piece called Crying Girl by Roy Lichtenstein.

Chicago landmarks include the Michigan Avenue Bridge and the Art Institute.

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2026 at 5:10 am

Up until recently I’ve felt like a Chicagoan living in Florida, but now after almost five years I feel like I’m turning into a Floridian, complete with Crocs and a tan.

This might be the year we go back north, but it’s hard to weigh the pros and cons because the two places are so different. All I can say for sure right now is I’ll be happy either way.

Also today I can say with total confidence that this will be the year I finish Space Pops and present a coherent and finished product to the world. I’m almost ready!

Here is to a safe and productive 2026. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2025 at 9:00 am

Here is a fantastic historic home in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood decorated for the holidays.

Also just for fun, here is a little remix of an old Christmas cartoon from 10 years ago. I was hoping to get back online before the holiday season ended, but I’ll have to be patient and wait ‘til next year.

Merry Christmas!
