…tells us that “Meat Shepherd” is a terrible name for a hospital.

I will give Anthrocon–and one specific sketchbook commission, the Flaming Jerboa–credit. It rekindled my interest in sketching. You know. With a pencil and stuff. I’ve been relying more and more on the computer, and this is really not a bad thing–I’m not a purist by any means, and I love sketching digitally for sheer manipulatability. […]
So I got into the studio, unloaded my art supplies, looked around at the clutter and the wreckage of con prep, and said “This place is a sty! I should clean it. I should clean the house. I should frame all this cool new art. I should overhaul my entire decor (and I use the […]
This’ll be a fairly cliff notes version of the Con, since I’m behind on Digger, and completely bereft of art, but I’ll hit the high points. Chemical spill in Virginia. Sat in traffic for over an hour while we crawled past the gentlemen in hazmat suits. Woo!
We made it back from Anthrocon! Full con report will probably follow, but for the quickie–did very well, best con yet, best art show sales yet, the Azezaelbunny print in the art show went to auction for a whopping $350, causing me to nearly choke to death on my lunch, sold nine of fifteen paintings, […]
James is not really into furry stuff, even to the extent I am. He comes to the conventions patiently, he mans the table, he is polite, he knows a few people and is happy to see them, but he is not himself inclined to furrydom. And not being involved in the fandom at all, there […]
I know I’m stressed out about the Con because I’ve been having intense anxiety dreams for the past few days. (On the bright side, my recent crown woes have evidentally purged the tooth-falling-out dreams from my brain for quite awhile–my tooth fell out in a dream, I grumbled and stuck it back in with Fixodent, […]
Generally I feel a little weird posting stuff like this, as if my fan-base were so extensive that I needed a press-release or something, (which it isn’t by any stretch) but I know that some people are much happier having handy guides for this sort of thing, so what the heck. This, while rather long, […]
…and back to the trusty printer we go. This time it’s easy, just signs and price lists and flavor text. Since I’m not a designer, it’s basically text and small animals. Various small characters get to come out and shill the art, so Eland the antelope and the disdainful Balthazar the turtle are printed large […]
What I quite hope is the very last jumbo is coming off the printer now. I will need to go drop about a hundred bucks on ink and paper for the Con itself, to keep up with demand (I suspect the elemental mice and I will grow to loathe one another by the end of […]
