Crystal Pier is back open. Many folks fishing. Had to avoid fishing lines. Overcast. Still mulling my next moves. I created an art page ahead of the WOCA event this past weekend.

I met a pelican yesterday at Ocean Beach. The pelican, I think, was trying to steal my handplanes. There’s a video.

Via Cartoon Brew: Fliiip Book Revives Flash-Era Accessibility With a Simple Browser Animation Tool. I made a GIF. Jonathan Andrew Myers also created a site called DRAWWW TIME, likewise simple and fun and free. Love it. Animation is so great.
