Soup Kitchen
Once a week, Mumsie and I go to our local church to help prepare sandwiches and hot food, which we then serve to the homeless.

At first, I assumed it was the sun and thought “how odd” because I was looking towards the West. Then I made out the lines of the moon and was mesmerized by its beauty.

I’ve been a nervous wreck for the last week and a half. A little over ten days ago it hit me that animation school was starting really soon - too soon, in fact. I’m not ready. Well, I don’t feel ready, anyway.
You see, despite my getting into the program on what was apparently a worthy portfolio, I’m still not confident in my abilities. I’ve never been an art student. I’ve always passionately considered it,...
