WORDS & IMAGES
Digital art. Short stories.
While exploring my artistic side, I experimented with digital art. Starting with a simple image and manipulation on my iPhone. Then I added a few words of explanation, which crept into a story as I did more of them
This started to distract from the simple Art images that had no story, so I’ve split out the digital art into this site.
There is no great logic to this, the stories are for the most part stand alone.

Having settled after the surprise, we now needed to deal with the reality. Get closer, take what measurements we could, maybe some manual star sightings I suggested but the navigator just laughed at
