The Move Debate
—
I have to face the fact that I’m going to have to move. I can’t afford the house I’m in alone anymore, but damn it I feel guilty. This is the only real home my Bug has ever known. Just recently painting her room purple, a color she picked out, and she’s been so excited…

Wordless Wednesday #6.1–The Bug Sketch
—
Since I’ve been thinking of something to help me with stress, I’ve considered revisiting this picture I drew of Bug back in 2009. The one I’m showing I’ played with very little in Photoshop, mostly just adding the white highlights. Haven’t decided yet. Feel free to critique in the comments below if you like.
