Progress Isn't Always Visible

Dear Reader,

It's surprising how often in life big leaps forward happen out of sight. For The Squirrel King, the last couple of weeks have been such a time. Firstly, our long anticipated sizzle has moved closer to completion with our audio genius, Bob, and scoring guru, Matthew, now working their magic.

Beyond that, our awesome enigmatic editor, Meg has started assembling assistants for assembly edits of the actual series! Very exciting times!

It's all kind of like a sleeping child. It's too subtle to see the changes, but you know they are growing. Our very own Aliens are getting bigger too :)

Dear Reader,

Enjoying another random walk through the web, I came across this wonderful little music video:

Hope you too enjoy the shadow puppet mixture with bright lights :)

They Just Keep Coming!

Dear Reader,

Under the watchful gaze of one of our senior miniature squirrels, more keep coming :)

Pretty soon I suspect we're looking at some serious tarp surfing action!

The Joys of Complexity

Dear Reader,

The other day a good friend stopped by and asked the not so unreasonable question: "why not just use a real bathtub?" The answer I gave was a simple one - this is easier to cart about - but it masked the true, more complex, rationale ...

Something to do with aesthetics. Something to do with idiosyncrasy.

Like many things Squirrel King, a big part is reenvisioning the familiar, just a little differently. With luck, it jolts the mind into considering, however briefly, the what's-this-all-about of the world. That said, I do also enjoy the fact that a papier mache bathtub is simply fun. I think we all get a kick out of fun :)

Enjoying Everyday Magic: Hummingbirds

Dear Reader,

Sitting in our living room this morning, the Trouble and Strife drew my attention to our balcony, and hovering around it, a hummingbird :)

The happy little moment reminded me of a snippet I know I've already shared, but I simply can't help sharing it again. Enjoy the view out Robin's window!

Another Day After Nesting's Blaze

Dear Reader,

Yesterday was another big day in the aftermath of the Nesting fire, this time we brought out, Ed, our town's one man municipal show and our wonderful lead, Robin.

It was another hot day with fire axes, shower stalls and a fantastically in tact snake skin!

Stop motion squirrels are still to come :)

Bathtub Couch!

Dear Reader,

While looking for color combinations for Marcy's bathtub, I came across this wonderful concept: a bathtub couch! Unique and delightful, you can apparently custom order these high concept lounge room additions at Ruff House Art.

Do let us know if you try one, I'm curious just how comfortable they are!
