I wound up doing a whole mess of them. These are experimental, but I like the idea and the way the experiments worked came out, so I may follow up on this. There’s a lot of them, I’m going to sit with this a while and probably then cut this gallery down to a more manageable size.Because these sprung from an effort to illustrate a post with twilight fantasy elements, you may encounter some unsettling phantoms or backwoods beasties here and there.

Mike Kupietz, a reluctant scion of the postmodern age, is larger on the inside than the outside: perhaps not a composer, but a creator and arranger of sounds, nor a writer, but an avid writer-down; an occasional author of doggerel; an erstwhile urban hermit; and privately a man of great ardor. He is, if now resigned to never succeeding at those personal and artistic pursuits he holds most dear, unwavering in his determination to fail at them as entertainingly as possible. He is currently in what he calls the "red bathrobe period" of his life. If you're wondering what all this has to do with FileMaker development—you done taken the wrong turn, this river don't go to Aintry. Mike's professional services are on his Bay Area FileMaker Pro consulting website.
