Work today was…an experience. I was putting up sale signs and minding my own business when a gentleman strolls in. Being a well-trained retail monkey, I turn, smile, and say “Can I help you find anything?” “You’re very pretty,” he says. “Like an English doughgirl.” Now, I’m closing in on thirty, but this was a […]

Strong Opinions There should probably be a word for that sinking feeling of disappointment you get after talking to an apparently cool person for an hour and then discovering that they believe the moon landing was faked.
Interrogative Wombat Auction I sorta want to try a two-color reduction print, but apparently I’d need something called a “matrix” to make it work, so that the paper goes down on the print at the correct space. I could make one, but I have no power tools. I’m begging my stepfather, printmaker extraordinaire, to throw […]
Okay, guys! The Interrogative Wombat is an edition of 50. I’ll be offering 45 of ’em to the people on the waiting list, 1/50 will be on e-bay, and the rest I’ll hang onto for various reasons. People who had earlier approached me about a waiting list for the prints got first pick, followed by […]
Okay! The Red Wombat print wound up being an edition of seven, because it just wouldn’t do mass printing. I’m giving ’em as gifts, mostly, but I will offer 1/7 on E-bay for anybody who really, really wants one. Red Wombat Print Because I couldn’t get very many off this design, I’m offering the Interrogative […]
So James is currently in Shanghai. His company shipped him out there for three weeks to work at the Shanghai office and try to get some project back on track or something. I was desperately envious and wanted to go too, but alas, to push a visa through with that little notice, you have to […]
Living as I do in this miniscule apartment, the most important work space is a chunk of kitchen counter about two feet by eighteen inches. Yes, I have a perfectly good work table in my studio/bedroom, but I use it mostly for painting and storing crap. Printmaking and fooling around with leprous ponies occurs in […]
Frustrated with today’s lack of productivity–I was working, and thus felt that I accomplished nothing of consequence–I stayed up late running off prints of the Interrogative Wombat. And watching, for some reason, “Inherit the Wind.” It was a little surreal. I pulled off the last print for the evening, watched Matthew Brady drop dead in […]
So, as many of you know, my newly single lifestyle means that I’m having to fend for myself in the kitchen. I learned to cook a few basic dishes, all in the Mexican theme for some reason–quesadillas, enchiladas, nachos, etc. Easy enough to do. Lately, however, I’ve been busy as hell and uninclined to cook, […]
Leperlot Auction Starting at $25, because I have no idea what the market will bear on these things. Since I’m hearing that Hasbro gets antsy about the packaging thing, this is likely to be the only pony I do with modified packaging, although I haven’t quite given up the notion of completely redesigning the packaging, […]
