I spent most of an afternoon wandering about Glasgow city centre in a slight daze, catching up with odd bits of shopping; I finally managed to buy a watch (my old one died the day we got here and I've not had time to replace it) and I also visited the excellent Miller's Art Shop, one of the few places I know that still sell Neocolor crayons individually. Neocolor is very opaque, so sometimes when I do sketches at signings and conventions, I draw on coloured paper and use it to add highlights. Miller's were out of the nice coloured paper pads they had last time (2005) though.

There was evidently a big match on, as the streets were full of big burly blokes in kilts wearing flags for capes and with Crosses of St.Andrew painted on their faces. Makes a change...

I probably walked right past you Matt. I was in Miller's on Saturday with my daughter Molly buying sketchbooks and pens.
The Scarlet Traces cover (on yer' blog entry after this one)looks fantastic - reminds me of those 50's sci-fi/horror mags - excellent!
Small world! If you saw a guy in a leather jacket with an arm full of black card in search of Tipp-Ex... that was me.
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上,最重要的一件事,就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己,你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗,耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己,你才能體會所有美好的東西,所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己,你才有愛人的能力,也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步,就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去,以無沾無滯的輕快心情,大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步,則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇,願意接受未知的指引;也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊,一路雲淡風輕。親愛的,你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人,在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................
有時,你覺得痛。胃痛的時候,接受它,承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份,與它和平共處。心痛的時候,接受它,承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份,與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在,只會讓它更要證明它的存在,於是你就更痛。所以,.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺,還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊,不逃避,不閃躲,不再與你的痛爭執,如此,你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧,才會乖乖平息下去。.................
