There is a foot long turtle in the front yard. He’s just sitting there on the lawn. Holy crap. What do I do? He’s probably a local, but the front yard! What if he goes for the street!? His shell is damaged slightly, on one lower side–looks a bit crumpled. Not enough that I suspect […]

E-mail still down. *grumble* But, oh well. No news is good news… Today I begin that vast and terrifying task of filling the print books. This involves filing all the prints by little numbers, on an Excel spreadsheet, first into plastic envelopes, and then into folders in a file box. Since the file box broke […]
My e-mail’s down for the second day running–denial of service attacks on the provider–so if you’re trying to contact me, uh…I’ll get back to you soon, I hope! Meanwhile, the garden continues to grow. The nasturtium has its first flower! (I am particularly proud of this because I raised those nasturtiums from seed.) The gayfeather […]
The title of this one should probably have been “Because you made me paint My Little Dinosaurs, you tyrant, so I’m going to do this and not explain any of it, and I’ll write the description in free verse, too, the last bastion of the pretentious artist, and you can’t stop me because I control […]
I do this every year. I mean, seriously, EVERY YEAR. I think I have three panels at the art show. I make the art to fill three panels. I feel accomplished. I think “Okay. We’re good.” I get my art show pamphlet, open it up, and discover that YET AGAIN I have requested five panels […]
I was flipping through my sketchbook today looking for head shots of Sings-To-Trees, which I didn’t find (must be in another sketchbook) but I did locate a number of rough sketches with weird captions, and sometimes just the weird captions: Theological bacon Jesus turns water into bacon miracle of the loaves and bacon Eve tastes […]
My Little Hadrosaur http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/34138892/ “Okay,” I said to my brain, “that’s three of the lowest priced pieces for the Con, and that’s enough. We need mid-range stuff now, but since you were good, you can paint something Deeply Meaningful For The Ages now, if you want to.” “Go ‘way,” sulked my brain. “C’monnn….” “Go ‘way. […]
The spam in my inbox appeared to say “Turn heads at the beach with albinism!” Hmm. I admit, albinos are certainly visually arresting…probably WOULD turn heads, particularly in a bikini…but wouldn’t you burn pretty bad, if you were an albino at the beach? I mean, I fry like a fritter on a griddle and I’ve […]
Brain: Wannapaint. Ursula: Shut up, we have to do stuff for Anthrocon. Brain: Wannapaint! Ursula: We have to do some more quick watercolors, or the art show’ll be three strategically placed miniatures and Heinrich. Brain: …wannapaint… Ursula: You will paint a quick and silly My Little Hadrosaur, by god, and THEN, maybe, if you’re good, […]
