As a fellow admirer of crows once sang in a song that has been drilled in the tooth of my memory since high school, maybe this year will be better than the last. God I hope so. I at least intend to blog more, when I can; anything that strikes my fancy and is also too weird and/or wonderful NOT to post about.
Case in point: "Along the Moonbeam Trail". This is a short silent film recently restored to the best of the editors' abilities (here's hoping they find the ending). I'd like to thank Tyler Greenfield for posting a clip on Twitter because it's honestly astounding that I've never seen it or heard of it. It has everything! It is not my Entire Aesthetic (for one thing, I'd have more than one [1] major female character and she'd do more than being a Deus ex Machina), but it's about as close as a movie from this time period could hope to be:
Everything about this is great but I'm torn between the random witch, the "pterosaur" who's really one of the first movie dragons, and the stegosaurus and his cute skink-tongue.

Art of the Day!
I painted this back in 2018 and I'm reposting it here to bring this wonderful magical energy into 2021. Happy New Year!
