new BOW & stuff

new BOW:
My current BOW comes from the library: 'What they do in the Dark,' by Amanda Coe. I know NOTHING of this book, so I'll keep you posted! Is it awesome? Creepy? Wildly creative? Inquisitive minds want to know....

new STUFF:
I actually made it through the first week of writing and illustrating 'Five-Fifteen' on Instagram. I didn't miss a day but mercy! It's consuming to paint and write at the same time.

My favorite illustration of the week? The owl and moon posted four days ago. I love the owl's style, his shifty little eyes, the moon's grandeur. It all came together better than I thought. (to view said owl, check out my Instagram feed: mech.morris)

I must say, Goodreaders, that it's strange to write a story day-by-day and include pictures! It's like making a story-board for a movie, not penning a novel. Next week: the alien world awakes ....

If you want to come up-to-date with 'Five-Fifteen,' the first chapter (at least the first chapter so far) is posted on my blog (along with a really cool picture of a tree):
