It’s always comforting once everything really starts falling into place. It’s feels oddly like getting a runner’s high, where you as if you can keep moving in this direction forever. The board pieces on the left in the first image are nearly complete, and the painting with the zigzag pattern is my new fave du jour.

Flying through outer space. Riding on cats like they were flying magic carpets. Painting stripes on stars throughout the galaxy.
I hope it went something like that.
Some of the boards on the right will be wrapped with the striped canvas on the wall. That striped canvas has every color I use on it. It’s a limited palette, but it’s a damn fine one (and a very bright one).
Fan mail
So, I just finally got the new Tumblr Fan Mail, and decided to send my first mail:
I am normally not a fan of skeuomorphic designs, but I actually enjoy it in this scenario. It encourages you to keep it short and casual. This isn’t an attempt to replace email. It’s essentially Tumblr’s equivalent of tweeting at someone on Twitter. Nice and short and to the point.
However, I did notice one huge missing feature. When you are entering the name of the recipient, it doesn’t autoload possible usernames of those you follow while you type. This works fine for sending my wife a fan mail (like above) since I obviously know her username, but there are tons of Tumblr users out there with less than memorable (and even confusing) usernames. Hopefully the fine folks at Tumblr will be adding this feature in a later update.
