I'm going to be erratic for awhile. The wind blew off my roof. windstorm 80mph. So I'm dealing with insurance, asbestos testers, packers, roofers and probably within the next few days they will put me up in a hotel or some place. Hoping it's a place with a kitchen and a place to set up my desktop computer and cat. Anyways I will try to do my dailies (catwalk, tea with Alice, and hopefully my model comparison) but we'll see. I started on a blog post the other day so I'm hoping I'll get that done if I'm not too exhausted.

About this image

This traditional folk art woodcut illustration reinterprets the classic Three Little Pigs fairytale, depicting a towering menacing wolf standing on its hind legs blowing the thatched roof off a small rural wooden cottage. Crisp detailed black linework appears on a warm aged parchment background, with ribbon banner German text reading "Der Wolf bläst das Dach weg" which translates to "The wolf blows the roof away". Swirling wind effects and flying broken debris create a playful dark fairytale mood in a historic engraving art style.

Cool! Even correct German!

Thank you! That's good to know since I don't know German. I put in 1400s woodcut and Grok put in the German. I was thinking 3pigs and wolf which I thought was a British folktale orginally so I was surprised by the German. I thought it was cool tho

Wow, that's really bad luck; take it easy, and I hope they get it fixed for you soon. The image is great.
