I agree that you should buy this issue now - in no small part for Steve's excellent cri de coeur - and am much too modest to note I've got an essay in here, too. Instead, I'll point to the murderer's row of non-me talent in here, corralled under @explodingarrow.bsky.social's incredible editorship!

Not quite a successful portrait, but definitely my first near success of painting a person in oils. Something just clicked a little. Lots more to learn.
