There’s a kind of sick joy in painting Happy Cthulhu. I sort of want to paint Happy Shub-Niggurath and Happy Deep Ones now. (Most of the others, alas, do not happy well. How one makes the blind idiot chaos at the heart of creation happy is unknowable, and I can’t even find the mouth on […]

Say, if you were part of the book cull, and have not yet gotten a shipping quote, can you e-mail me (and include your LJ handle)? I’ve finally got quotes for all the books now, but I’m starting to founder on who all has gotten them, since the LJ handles don’t always align with the […]
Well, I just had some of the most horrible fifteen seconds of my adult life. I was bringing Ben back from the vet, and had lugged the carrier halfway up the steps to my apartment–and the handle of the carrier broke off in my hand. The carrier, cat inside, hit the stairs, rolled over, and […]
Phew. One of my big show pieces for Anthrocon, finally done! Ninja Frogs
It’s an odd thing to say, but man. Divorce is easy. The legal bits of it, anyway. James and I saw an attorney, and it was really quite astonishingly painless.

My urge to narrative is showing. *tries desperately to cover it* Wolf and Fireflies Not a series! Really!
Okay, I promised to tell the story of my father and El Gordo, and so I shall, because all I’ve been posting lately is auctions and moving stuff, and it’s time for something that’s actually FUN. Way back in the late eighties, early nineties, my father had a ranch in the hills south of San […]
The first round of auctions for unfinished art have ended, and wow! Thank you so much, guys! You rock! (Have I mentioned lately how lucky I am?) Here’s another five. These’ll probably be the last before Anthrocon, but I’ll have more when I get back, including some of the bigger stuff that’s hard to scan. […]
So I spoke to my mechanic, and his opinion was that if I was moving to Kansas or Nebraska, the Altima would do fine, it’s a tough little car, but asking it to haul a loaded trailer over the Rockies would be an act of automotive cruelty. Furthermore, it occurs to me that while renting […]
