Wedding or Odyssey?

Published by at 12:29 pm under odyssey,sketchbook

It’s interesting to be planning a wedding and drawing The Odyssey at the same time. There’s potentially some weird symbolic juxtaposition, but that’s not really on my radar. I’m talking about more concrete things, like how I have no time for the wedding planning, and how I keep my wedding notes in MS OneNote next to my Odyssey notes, so sometimes when I open OneNote to check my Odyssey reference, I see wedding rings, and when I open it to paste in links to possible reception sites I see photos of fat guys I got from the internet for reference.

And yesterday I started making a seating chart for the suitors:

    I love it ! Be sure to post if the menu planning also starts crossing the line.

    Yes, perhaps to save on costs we should water the wine, forgo the utensils, and just roast some meat on skewers over an open fire.

    Are you going to carve Alison a bed from a single tree though like Odey did for Penny? That could take some skill! Well, you know what they say…the 2B is mightier than the hacksaw…
