Remembering... Strangers at the Sudbury Videogame Show April 2019

 I feel nostalgia for the interesting stranger.


Pre-pandemic face masks.


This fish scarf!


This t-shirt!


It was heartening to see more Luigis than Marios.

This guy!

And this guy!

The emotive hairdos.

The confidence.

The nonchalance.

I'm 30.

 I remember being 27. When I was 27 I knew that THIRTY was coming for me! 

I spent 27, 28, and 29 already being 30 in my mind.

At 30 I was disappointed. What? Is this it?

Shortly after marking 30 I was sitting on the bus, mulling over 30, and I had a vision of crouching on pavement and sifting sparkling black sand through my fingers.



I didn't know what would come next. My 20's seemed to be pre-planned somehow. But the 30's? What the heck were they about? I was thinking today that I still don't know. Even with hindsight being 20/20, I can't figure it out.

And so I find myself here, in 2021, my 30th year of making things. THIRTY. Wow. What do I do now? 

Seems apt, this post of mine. I thought I was going to talk about

  

 interesting and bleak local landscape
 
 
                                            some art projects I've done or am planning to do

                                                  crew of the Titanic (artist's rendition)

                                    Titanic passenger? Crew? Such a pained look on his face! 

                                                  Perhaps he knows what's coming next?!
