I have not been getting much art done this month–by which I mean “practically any.” I am trying not to be too hard on myself about that, since I did just move into a new place, on my own, plus the emotional upheaval, plus I started a new job. All good excuses, but nobody ever […]

So I’ve been working in the framing department at work, which is kinda cool–the paperwork sucks, but I’m learning a lot about framing that I didn’t know (last time I cut a mat was by hand in college.) These are useful skills to have, not that I have the set up–or the space for the […]
Went and saw “Pan’s Labyrinth” last night with James. Wow. That was…uh…brutal. Some very neat bits, some very cool bits, but overall, needed more fantasy and less torture. And…err…yeah. Good movie, but…brutal. This is not one for the kids. Some neat visuals, though.
My cel phone died at work today–apparently dead to the world. I was suddenly isolated from the rest of the cosmos. I couldn’t call Cingular to tell them my phone didn’t work, because my phone didn’t work! I couldn’t call James to ask him to call Cingular, since we’re on the same plan, because my […]
One of the hardest things about a seperation, I think, is sleeping alone. When you’ve been together for years, you just plain get used to having somebody else in the bed. You’ve worked out all the negotiations of sleep–whose arm goes where, which knee goes on top, whose feet stick out, what part you poke […]
Whose a widdle troll, den? Iz you a little trollikins? Iz you? Yes, you iz! Awwww! http://www.talkaboutcomics.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=179 I got a troll over on the Digger forums accusing me of being a sell-out. I am amused. Somebody obviously needs attention. Also, is it just me, or has the definition of “selling out” gotten really devalued? Believe […]
Well, I had a lovely Valentine’s Day. Ben didn’t approve of the hour at which I came home, and registered his disapproval by unrolling most of the toilet paper, but that was the only casualty. (I felt like a bit of a cad, though–I fed him and expected him to faceplant into the food, but […]
I had a dream last night about a man who came into a small town–one of those little tourist traps on the Oregon Coast, I think–with an animal. He was telling us that it was unknown to science, that we’d make millions from this animal because it was so new and weird and extraordinary. Then […]
So James went out to a gallery opening awhile back, picked up a business card, and handed it to me, saying “Dude! You should contact them–they’re pretty new, they might really like your art!” “Okay,” sez I, and last night, more or less on a whim, sent ’em an e-mail saying “Hey, are you taking […]
Spent much of Friday unloading canvases, and my post in theframe shop has a view of the Big Canvases (You know, the 48 x 72’s and up.) It’s making me itch. A sort of artistic pavlovian response is in force. Show me a big canvas, and I start to salivate and get urges to paint […]
