Today is July 31st! And that means tomorrow is August 1st, which means that, lord willing and the creek don’t rise, Digger 2 will be going on sale on-line. As usual, there are a limited number of signed copies. I signed until my hand was limp, I really did, but I can only do so […]

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37223721/ This is the one where the sky kicked my ass in real media, so I went digital. It’s a silly piece, but I liked it, since while I have painted many a hedgehog, I have largely neglected the noble porcupine, who is one of the most wonderfully textured creatures in all of creation. I […]
Today I’m burning a cd of files for the upcoming art book project from Ellen Million. This involves me digging through my computer’s innards trying to locate old art–I know more or less where everything is that I’ve done in the last coupla years, but some things from way back when are still trapped at […]
Ursula: “ARRGH!” James: “What?” Ursula: “I’m just hemorraghing griffins.” (James picked up Heroes of Might and Magic V. My productivity went into a tailspin today.)
So Nurk has started to garner its first rejection slips. I actually feel good about this, and I’ll tell you why. The first two things I heard back about Nurk were variations on “Love it, love it, lot of potential, really would like to publish it, is the author willing to do a re-write addressing […]
I spent most of today working on the background for a painting–a plain, ordinary sky. Hours passed, much like a kidney stone. At around five pm I screamed “SCREW YOU, REAL MEDIA!” slammed the door my studio, stomped downstairs, and pulled up Photoshop, where the delicate graded effect I was after took about forty-five seconds. […]
So Thursday I go in to the urologist for an exam. The exact nature of the complaint I shall spare the reader, save only to say that All Is Not Well In Bladdertown. I asked my doctor if this exam would involve a catheter, and she make the noncommital noise while-not-meeting-my-eyes thing that indicates that […]
Man, I just woke up from a helluva dream. There’s a thunderstorm going on, but it’s not raining, so the air is very hot and heavy and oppressive, which doesn’t help. I dreamed I was living in this weird house, with tiny doors, full of Asian furniture, and for most of the dream, things were […]
A small and quick amusement–a really pudgy, stylized Ambulocetus. In a beret. Wearing glasses. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36960016/ I suspect he recites one-line poetry during Open Mike Night.
Hey, neat! Was just out in the garden, and saw one of these on my lantana! http://www.blitzworld.com/butterflies/images/Black_swallowtail_0062.jpg It’s a huge butterfly, nearly the size of my hand. Edit: And a few minutes, later, on the same lantana, a tiger swallowtail, also enormous and…defective. A good chunk of his right side lower wing, including the swallowtail […]
