There’s an interesting intersection between two points in my life, which occurred to me today, as I was working my first shift at the art supply store. Wasn’t bad. I was doing an inventory of matboard, so for the first time, my ability to distinguish between five hundred different shades of white came in handy. […]

As is so often the case, there was some kind of life in the black and white sketch that did not make the transition to the final painting. Ah, well. They say no painting is ever finished, just abandoned. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47694199/ The sketch: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47694511/ (See what I mean? Maybe it just didn’t want to be in […]
Let me just remind everybody that Wednesday is the last day to order Blackbeard’s Rugged Tampon T-shirts! http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/fantasyart/ursula.php Get ’em now, while the scurvy’s fresh!
I dreamed last night that I was back in high school (a nightmare that haunts many of us, I know.) I still had my tattoo, though. It was career day, or something like it–according to our assembly, (which I skipped, because I was cleaning out my desk, which was inexplicably full of George Orwell books) […]
So part of the arrangement James and I made was that we’d pay off my car. There’s not much left on it, like a thousand bucks, and it’s one more bill I don’t need. The car apparently got wind of this somehow, and activated the self destruct, because today, as I was coming down an […]
Man, with a title like that, I feel like I’m selling real estate. “And here we have a lovely underground bunker, six acres of concrete and water, in Early Industrial Chic. Perfect for studio, playroom, den. Contact your real estate golem today!” However, it is, in fact, Ze Auction! (I take credit cards at Paypal, […]
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47426386/ This has been on my wall for ages, and only now that I’m sending it off to a show do I get the urge to scan it… Bowing to the advice of friends who are acting really, really noble about the whole thing,* this painting will be on e-bay in the near future, with […]
Frantically prepping for a show over at Mr. Toad’s Coffee House–my buddy Carlota had mentioned that I was up at the end of January, and of course with recent stresses, I didn’t exactly retain that knowledge. Then Wednesday Carlota said “Uh…that needs to go up Friday…” and so I’ve been in minor lunacy for the […]
Last night’s D&D session went swimmingly, as our characters settle a bit more into the situation they find themselves. Tarab, our gruff cleric and Fiatal, our charming rogue, are teamed up with Rook, my paladin, snooping around places they probably should not, in good conscience, be snooping. I love being a paladin, but it does […]
So I go in today to get my Birkenstocks repaired. Now, I am not good to shoes. I do not love shoes as many women do. Having left Minnesota, I now wear hiking sandals year-round, often with offensively bright and fluffy socks, because…well…I can. I do not oil or waterproof or fireproof or polish or […]
