I kinda love that shot.<\/p>\n

The tendrils\u00a0of the maple leaf, the soft lace of the snow.<\/p>\n

Winter here seems to be fast retreating — this morning, the songbirds outside are distinctly not of the winter variety. And last week I saw a veritable fuckdumpster of robins (which is their collective noun, by the way — a murder of crows, a parliament of owls, a fuckdumpster of robins). I am more than happy to be shut of winter, for winter is crap.<\/p>\n

Oh! Real quick, some folks have been asking what macro lens I use.<\/p>\n

It is this one: Canon 100mm macro lens<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. It’s heavy as a brick, and I think there’s a newer, lighter iteration<\/strong><\/span><\/a>? I’d love to get a rig set up that lets me get even closer to the bugs and snowflakes and waterdrops (the Canon 65mm MP-E<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is an option, I think) but that is a problem for Future Me (and likely a costly problem, though maybe there are ways to rig it more cheaply).<\/p>\n

ANYWAY, HEY IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, SOME NEWS.<\/p>\n

There is totally gonna be a Force Awakens\u00a0five-issue comic adaptation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mighty Luke Ross is gonna draw it.<\/p>\n

And apparently, some chucklehead is going to write it.<\/p>\n

THAT CHUCKLEHEAD IS ME. CHUCKLEHEAD WENDERG. WOO.<\/p>\n

First issue is already (mostly) in the can, and I’m cracking along on the next couple. And ICYMI, The Shield #2 came out last week, and Hyperion #1 comes out in March. I have officially stowed away on this boat and am hiding amongst other comic book professionals and hopefully they don’t find me and jettison me overboard.<\/p>\n

That’s it. Enjoy your week.<\/p>\n

*waves*<\/p>\n

*sinks into the sea*<\/p>\n

*bubbles and brine*<\/p>\n
