Four of my constellation drawings illustrate the latest Abe's Penny newsletter. What is Abe's Penny, you're wondering?
"Abe's Penny [is a] Micro-Magazine created by Anna and Tess Knoebel. Each issue is a series of four postcards featuring a narrative that unfolds in sequence, one part per week. The narrative is a combination of photographs and text, in the format of a traditional postcard. Collectible and temporal, the cards vary each month, with a different artist and writer collaborating on each issue."Check out the Abe's Penny website for more information and a sampling of back issues.

You know, for my review I couldn't find this constellation anywhere. Did you invent it or what?
Chris:
Well, it's not "on the books," but I can trace it for you. Like looking at clouds, I find it more exciting to map my own constellations.
I hope that your Thanksgiving was great!
Aha. So, real stars, your personal cosmography. That's actually great.
