After a very, very long and arduous moving process, my parents and I are currently holed up in a house on a hill in New Mexico. I went with them to help with the move and will be flying back to Texas soon to get back to college.

NM is a very beautiful state, i'm realizing. We're in the rocky and deserty bits right now, but it's still miles better than the backwater town I grew up in. North NM is much greener and lush, I would love to live there one day.

I also suddenly remembered weed is legal in New Mexico. But after being high pretty much all summer im doing my best to stay sober for the time im here, if nothing else to prove to myself that i dont have a problem and am normal and not mentally ill or something.

anyway, New Mexico is also rich with beautiful culture and history. I dont know if I've mentioned, but I'm a huge fucking history/archaeology buff. By god's will, I'm very close to a site of Anasazi ruins, a place I actually studied last semester.

I'm a little nervous, but extremely excited at the prospect of seeing it in person, and hopefully I can go soon. I'll absolutely take pics and upload them if I do.

ok, thats it for now. i want to stop typing before my derangement takes over and turns this depressing.

its a bit embarrassing, but heres a few drawings. i feel like i've improved somewhat. lately ive been studying comic book artists

and heres a gif of herbert west
