We got three feet of snow this weekend.  After two days of slogging and shoveling, I am finally able to appreciate the beauty.  Birds are going crazy at my feeder.  It's beautiful to watch their colorful flittering and flight against the snowy background.

Studio finances are tight these days, so I'm making images of electronics instead of building circuits or sculpting them (both of which I love but cost $).  Here's my first large drawing of an analog astable multivibrator, an oscillating circuit that I use very often.

A storm's heading our way, and people are saying we could get three feet of snow!  I hope we don't lose electricity.  Here's a little electric boogie dance to keep the wires alive.
