halloween!

this is the costume i picked out myself. my philosophy on costumes is that it should feel natural -- a costume should express the inner you, while simultaneously be comfortable enough to lounge in around the house, thusly:




one should always appropriately accessorize his or her costume. in this case, i chose to illustrate the evil monkey from the stephen king book "monkey shines" at my preschool's halloween parade.




monkeys also like to, uh, operate ship wheels inside plastic play castles.
