I’m not exactly sure why but my internet service provider is making it almost impossible for me to visit and edit my own site.

Everything is painstakingly slow and sometimes moon-gem.com is entirely inaccessible to me…on my computer.

Unfortunately, my internet service provider is the only “high-speed” option in my area. So, I’m not entirely sure what to do other than to apologize.

The weird part is that I don’t seem to having the same problem with other sites. Just my own.

I went to the Quarry Hill Winery in Berlin Heights! Since I almost never travel I thought I would post some photos.

They aren’t the best photos as I was a little embarrassed to be taking them.

I’d like to go back, take some better photos, and visit the apple orchard down the hill someday.

I started (and stopped) working on this image months (maybe years) ago. The idea was to self publish a children’s book. Then I looked into it and realized it was just impractical. Nothing I make really sells so I just couldn’t fathom going through with it. I only ever worked on the cover and a another page. It was more like a short graphic novel…

Even though the cover isn’t really finished or up to snuff I really liked some of the details, like the lamp light on the wall, the peeling wallpaper, and the picture hanging in on the wall. I tried to make the hall seemed curved eerie and unnatural…

I even found the sketch I made when I was doodling up ideas!
