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。.................
