More on it to come later due to terminal tardiness(even if it is somewhat self-imposed), but for now, I'm just very thrilled to both see you doing your bit on the "NofNA" front, and releasing this wonderful piece after all these months. "Nature of Nature's Art" can get pretty personal, to such an extent that it might stifle the conventional chipper urges to draw about stuff you like after you've just finished a new chapter thereof, so three hurrah-s to your courage in bringing this work into the light.

It's as wonderful as ever, with such effervescent, scintillating, coruscating and rainbowish lighting that *still* somehow manages to be made of subdued pastel colours. You could be relied upon to insinuate colours even if you were drawing a noir story in total monochrome.

I'm so behind on nofna. I never even started the arc after Secretary. Hay, has he released any books since?

I stopped dead at the gates of the "Solar System" arc, myself - it's just so intimidating starting something that you know will require a good deal of heart-cringing, brain-searing and soul-shuddering in order to get into. I remember feeling the same way about talking to you, and like in the case of "NofNA", in the nicest way possible.

Mr. Braun has released a real media book, "The Tortoise and The Hare", which I know absolutely nothing about, but which is obviously something pretty grandiose. I hope I'll muster enough power to finally start on my begging bowl tour around the site, and help the zoosociology guy get his dues.

"Your species" is amazing in many ways, but mostly because of the nostalgic feel. And the darkened paper, which has a way of making everything shine.
