Originally, he was going to be by the Sunseeder, demonstrating his dancing abilities to Cain, but Glitch wanted sunshine and butterflies, and I just can't refuse him.

I think I needed to draw something happy as an antidote to all the angst in Tin Horses And what could be happier than a dance-y Glitch? There's probably a Cain with a bag of apples right off screen...

Yes yes yes yes yes. Yessss.

Background lovely watercolor lighting butterflies shoelaces eyeliner.... yes. An incongruity of style entirely appropriate. And the content, I mean, Glitch dancing?

Means I love it, of course Well, the Glitch part. Not too fond of butterflies - long story that.

I miss quality Glitch art, especially portraying him this way. He's just such a tremendous character exactly because he can make light of situations. Boy scout syndrome....hehehe.

Uh-oh... curiosity triggered... why don't you like butterflies? Glitch demands to know!

Oh, sorry to make you wait. Well, to make Glitch wait, probably more sorry for that. It's my birthday today. Well, yesterday technically. So maybe Glitch will forgive me?

Butterflies:


I was maybe six years old when my sister first discovered that in the boring rural landscape of North Carolina, walks on weed were more fun with company.

So we went. Out to a playground across a field of wildflowers, violets and dandelions and such, and she'd be smoking up on the playground swings as I examined the flora (wanted to catalogue like the little scientist I was? More likely wanted a princess bouquet to gift the parents), and so I'd wander off. I played a game, tried to come close, look at the fauna, the wasps, the butterflies. Take one gently by the wing, then let it go. Caught one, once.

This is fixed in my memory, the image of the butterfly - a cabbage-colored one, incidentally - with these creeping feelers, these long, slender legs, a furry little head. And it began to move its insectoid appendages just as a spider would, brushing delicately over my hand. Disgusting. Let it go, of course, immediately, but I wished I hadn't gotten a closer look. Life lesson, there.

Not much of a story, but somehow these unremarkable moments are memorable. Then I went to my sister, scared and puzzled, and she shared a package of Andes Mints with me on the slide, and that cheered me right up as sweets do. So it goes

Wow - clearly a memory that has remained vivid and affecting for you. My irrational fear is spiders, but I find butterflies fascinating - their complexity, the amazing mechanisms of those pheromone-sensing antennae...

I think Glitch just likes them because of all the pretty colours, but I could be wrong He likes bees, too.

Happy birthday, anyway!

Thank you! A wonderful person gave me Photoshop recently, and I'm still learning how to use it, but I'm really pleased with this.

Aw I had a lot of fun with this - I'm sure Cain is somewhere offscreen waiting patiently for Glitch to finish his little soft-shoe number and catch up
