The Monk: Detail, originally uploaded by vebelfetzer.

I want all of you to gird your loins for this. As I have been cast
out of polite society for the upcoming month, I am finally able to
catch up on some ancient commissions. Most pressing is the repayment
of my friend Adam for his selfless repair of my MacBook screen, and he
has been waiting for this triptych ("The Clergy") for far too long. I
have also managed to summon enough willpower to gesso over the bad
beginnings of Nathan’s steampunk-cityscape commission, and to fill
pages with thumbnails for Zack and Wendy.
