A Brief July News Update: I've Been Doing Stuff

As I was responding to yet another absurd comment on my review of the terrible book Species With Amnesia, I realized it has been over a month since I have written a blog post. I take that gap as a win for my struggle to take a summer pause from the world of academia, etc. Over the past month and change I have been on a family vacation to Edisto, SC, spent a lot of time with my kids, attended my first Comic Con (Atlanta), gotten a few things done around the house, done some art, and begun the long struggle to regain my proficiency at doing a cannonball off the diving board. I have paid relatively little attention to politics, archaeology, and the pseudo-archaeological fakers clamoring for attention. I am better off for it.

I have a list of things to write about when I start sitting down regularly at my computer again in a couple of weeks. I won't list them, because chances are good that I won't actually write about most of them.

I did want to take a minute to pass on links to some content related to the artwork I've been doing over the last month. I have completed several small pieces and have several other projects in progress. If you want to see what I'm up to as I'm doing it, I post regularly to my dedicated art page on Facebook and to my art-only Instagram account.

Here are some images and videos of some of my recent pieces (images will link to gallery pages on my art website):

And now I need to go get the towels and fill up the kids' water bottles.
