Ahem. Just, y’know, sayin’. Pretty much just fooling around with technique, and killing time with something I totally should not be killing time with because I should be doing stuff for Anthrocon. *sigh* http://www.deviantart.com/view/19518733/

Sloggy today. My brain is sulking in the bottom of my skull and refusing to get up. I am forced into negotiations and plans–“C’mon, just get this done, and then you can check your e-mail! C’mon, just answer these e-mails, and then we can get some more coffee! C’mon, finish this coloring, and we’ll break […]
Following a discussion over at Pharyngula of the surprising number of people who read the Narnia books at a young age, loved them, and felt betrayed when they realized it was an allegory for Christianity–I want a “Narnian Apostate” T-shirt, damnit.
Today, I’m mellow. So far, I have three 8 x 10 pieces for Anthrocon, and a fourth in progress. One has a background, making it marginally higher priced, but most are just bits from the Random Moments In Ursula’s Brain collection. At some point, I’ll probably have to do some 5 x 7s, just to […]
It’s gonna be disgusting today. The temperature is expected to crack 100, which wouldn’t be that bad, if the air wasn’t wringing wet. Even at 9:30, stepping outside is like being smacked in the lungs with a hot towel. The sky over Minnesota was a watery sky. It had a peculiar tendency to try to […]
I feel rather vague. Not bad, not unhappy, not all that tired, just…vague. I think it’s that the art I need to do is all my own stuff, and nothing is rattling the Muse’s cage at the moment screaming “Paintmepaintmepaintmepaintme!” so I am puttering around at loose ends. I have a painting started, and plenty […]
First day of my buddy Eric’s D&D campaign! It’s a fun premise–everybody makes a character, and a physical description, which are swapped around by the GM. Then everybody wakes up with amnesia, and nobody knows what they can do, what class they are, etc, just the physical description, and you figure out if you can […]
So next month is Anthrocon, the main convention on my schedule, three solid days of madness and two solid days of driving. I have plenty of big art (…she says, thereby insuring that it will all sell in the next three weeks) for the show, and the last of the Naked Mole Rat Dreams prints, […]
This is not my day. I had recovered from my terror that I’d had a stroke, I’d gone to the doctor and had a pleasant visit, I abandoned hope of painting today, and picked up some James Herriot books, which I haven’t read in a long time, and which I figured would function as comfort […]
I return! Since I got the feeling back, this was a Good Sign, and probably meant that sudden death was not in the cards. Cardiac episode was ruled out after it was revealed that my blood pressure continues to mosey along like a sea cucumber on quaaludes. Stroke was highly unlikely, since I did get […]
