20.) Tregetour: juggler, trickster, deceiver. I think I’ve found a character for the next series! Drawn:Right/Inked:Left

An I k drawing of a fox in a suit and a top hat looking slyly at the viewer. There are orbs juggling above his head. And he has a snapdragon (representing deception) pinned to his lapel.

As the illustrator for this book, I spent a lot of time in the studio with it. I’m excited to start work on the new piece that will be offered at the end of the event!

I walked up to the conference to sign a few books and was spontaneously invited to join @spaf on a podcast. It was cool to talk my work and influences ( animals, myths, Beatrix Potter, Maria Sibylla Merian, & vaudeville ). Nice of the guys to include me. Nicer of them to share some delightful scotch. Hope my few minutes make the cut.

Me: Oooh, can I come?

Spaf: *hard glare*

Me: Well, I’m gonna.

Flew into Miami Beach, next to the clear blue sea.

Quite an uneventful flight.

All the way a mask I wore upon my face.
Man it’ll be good to breathe some air.

We’re back at an info-sec con, y’all.
You don’t know how lucky you are, boys.
Back at an info-sec.
Back at an info-sec.
Back at an info-sec con.

Packing for in Miami. Decided to bring a vibe with the outfit I’m wearing to @spaf’s talk on the book “Cybersecurity Myths and Misconceptions: Avoiding the Hazards and Pitfalls that Derail Us” (the book he coauthored with Leigh Metcalf and @dykstra )

I learned my niece took our book to church and had the babysitter read it to her while her folks were in bible study. That, my friends, is my new benchmark.♥️

Based on email exchanged during the last 24 hours, looks like I better put together a digital portfolio of my work. So, of course I am screwing around on social media…
