I was in Phoenix for most of this holiday week. For some reason we drove out to this weird old house in the desert called "Mystery Castle" while we were there. It's one of those places that you kind of have to see for yourself to believe. It was full of a lot of old ghosts - and I wanted to try and evoke the feelings a bunch of us had walking around the place.
This will likely be my last foray into Wackaloon Territory for the remainder of the project. I enjoyed my opportunities to be deeply weird at times this year. It's fun.
