The exhibit of Scott Eagle's work inspired by mine or used by me for book covers is epic, at East Carolina University. 28 years of collaborations. Scot taught me the power of the ecstatic. 1/?

USA Today recommends Annihilation if you like Last of Us. Appreciate it, although "zombie adjacent" is doing a lot of work... www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

You can now submit written comments and sign-up to give in-person testimony on our appeal case before City Council. City Council members will decide whether or not to uphold the approval of PGE's application, which would cut nearly 5 acres of trees in Forest Park. 1/2
