Was listening to NPR this morning and heard a weird figure…according to a recent poll, something like 80% of the people polled thought abortion would be illegal in four years. Didn’t catch enough context to know what this was in terms of, and I don’t happen to agree with it–the population WANTS abortion to be […]

God, it’s so CUTE! Like a little pine cone with feet! http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-pangolin19jan19,0,5870689.story?coll=la-home-headlines
Got up this morning, ambled around the house, strolled to the glass door that looks onto the deck. There were two squirrels. Gimpy was tearing around on three legs. (“James! Come look! It’s Gimpy!” “Wow, he’s doin’ pretty good, isn’t he?”) The other squirrel was one of the many nameless tree rats that lack distinctive […]
Okay. I can read the writing on the wall when it’s in ten foot high block letters and the wall is, in fact, falling on me. The attempt to put together a show is going on hold.
On the off chance that anybody wants a detail of the Murkstrider… http://www.metalandmagic.com/Images/gfx/murkdetail.jpg Today I have to work. On stuff. Important stuff. Naturally I’m all inspired to do other monsters in mist, but no! Must be virtuous! Must…work…! Important! Money! AGHHH! Yet again, I run up against the horror of my perverse existence. Deadlines on […]
Had my first pottery class today! It was fun. Wheel throwing is not quite like riding a bicycle, but a lot of it did come back automatically. Just need more time and I imagine I’ll be back up to the pinnacle of my (very modest) skill soon. Then I can make lumpy bowls by the […]
Spectrum angst led me to do something in that classic Brom-esque fantasy style…mist, black bondage leather, monster thingy. Digital art is so much faster, it causes me pain. *sigh* Oh, well. I feel better now. Or at least, more goth. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14258295/
Bought the latest Spectrum Annual. Went though it. It’s an exercise in mental twitchery…”Eh. Eh. Nice. Eh. HOLY CRAP, I COULD NEVER DO THAT IN TEN MILLION YEARS. Eh. Eh. WHAT? This crap gets in, and they rejected “Bad Egg”!?! Eh. Eh. HOLY CRAP…” etc, etc, rinse, repeat. In other words, the usual. There’s some […]
Some days, art is hard. You get up, you stare at the canvas (or watercolor block, or New Painter File,) and there is nothin’. You walk into your studio, and wince away from the accusing white glares of the half-finished paintings that have been half finished for weeks, going on months, and the ones in […]
I appear to have a dealer’s table at Anthrocon. I did not know this, not having gotten a note, and in fact, an Alert Reader was the one who informed me that I was going to be at Anthrocon. I checked, and hey, they’re right! Neat! (Now, watch EA buy out Ubisoft and us have […]
