Heyo, world! Random plug–buddy of mine is getting her thyroid cooked with radiation and is suffering the usual severe cashflow limitations that come with major medical problems. If you have any interest in chainmaille jewelry and so forth, I urge you to check out her site.

Working on a set of illustrations for a national summer reading program…this was one of the rejected character designs. *I* thought it was an awesome idea, and they agreed that yes, it was cool and yes, the kids in the target age-range would probably love it…but dead mermaids were maybe a little too weird for some […]
Again, not well. Morning Wood (Not Safe For Work.)Non-DA Link (Still Not Safe For Work)
The first, and great news–the slate-sided juncos are back at the feeder! (Well, under the feeder.) These little grey-and-white birds are my personal sign of winter. I love them. The other was…well, inevitable, really. I was working in my studio and Gir the beagle started up downstairs in his usually beagley fashion. And then… "Aroooorroooorooorooo-YELP!" Good lord, I […]
I have been aggravated. I’m not going to get into details, because it’s really not my story, but suffice it to say, this was not the correct time of month to piss me off. Transcript of conversation at 9 AM: URSULA: "So, I’ve gotten as far as ‘if you ever pull that shit again, I’m gonna rip […]
Damnit, I have PMS. This was an incredibly productive week, and I should be feeling pretty good all around, but instead I spent the morning grumpy and brooding.

Perhaps if I decant the bleach into my ear, I will be free of this compulsion… Sad Blue Phalloi (Still Not Safe For Work.) Non-DA Link I considered painting a Sad Phalloi In Snow, but there would be shrinkage.
filthspigot and I should not be allowed to communicate. She eggs me on. She tries to convince me that I could totally sell 500 winged phalloi plushies (the minimum order, and no, I really couldn’t, although it’s a helluva deal to get them made…) And then she starts talking about Valentine’s Day cards…. NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR SANITY Phalloi […]
Two more ACEOs, and two more ACEO auctions. The price point for these seems to be right around $30, so that’s probably what I’ll be charging for the originals in the future, but I figured I’d do one more batch, since one’s handpainted and all. ACEO — Send TeaSend Tea Auction ACEO — Winged Phalloi (Mature content. […]
