I love spooky season. 🎃 I wish it could go on longer. I used to think stores that put up Christmas decorations before Halloween were crazy but now that I have holiday merch I see customers really do start buying Christmas stuff mid-October!

After tearing through ~380 pages in 2 days, I'm 60 pages from the end of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter and I would just
stop.
Now.
To wait a couple weeks for someone to catch up & discuss it with me.
One of these days I'll join a suitable book club.

オイルパステル。Kovvmoryについてはほとんど何も知られていない。吸血鬼の一種と言われるが、実際には互いよりも、彼らが共に行動するコウモリに近い存在かもしれない。真の吸血鬼たちはKovvmoryを恥ずかしく思っているようだ。それが昆虫(だけ?)を食べる食性のせいか、それとも知性のなさのためかもしれない。低い青い光を放つことで昆虫を引き寄せる。「ムーンフィッシュ」とも名付けている…ただしその名はよくない由来から来た可能性もある。（サンフィッシュ＝マンボウ、鈍さで有名な動物。）作品を引用して敬意を表すことが多から、この絵の細部では、河鍋暁斎と歌川広重への敬意を込めてコウモリを2匹引用した。

Oil pastel. Little is known about the Kovvmory, widely said to be a kind of vampire. Kovvmory seem to be in a stupor or dream as they bob heavily thru the night sky. Japanese art often pays homage by directly referencing other works so I included bat poses from Kawanabe Kyosai and Utagawa Hiroshige.

I block anything that's a blend of cartoony and suggestive and sometimes I feel like I'm blocking all of Bluesky. Is this what Twitter was like?
