It came to me in a dream! No, really. Tower of Teapots I wonder what I was doing there…?

Some art from a poster design project earlier in the year…I had to work so huge to make poster sized prints that I wound up painting this in two halves. Capricorn (Scratch this–just realized I did it for the 2010 project, not the 2009. I’m an idiot. I’ll put it back up in a month when the […]
I really resent the intrusion of pomegranate into everything. Artificial pomegranate is not a flavor I much like, and it seems like you can’t even buy underwear these days without it coming in pomegranate flavor and advertising its value as a superfood that will grant you immortality and the ability to see the future in goose […]
I am the new owner of a used Pontiac Vibe! (The only sort of vibe I’d buy used, let me add…I see little chance of this car not being dubbed "the Vibrator" for the foreseeable future.) 2006, 39K miles on it, got it for around a thousand under Blue Book value. They were offering it for […]
Spent the last two hours looking at cars online and talking to various car-buying-type people I know (i.e. Carlota and my father.) and grimly running Carfax reports. Predictably, most of the cars I like and can afford locally are ex-rental cars, which, depending on who you ask, are either bad or not that bad or the […]
My car may have just died. I was going to look at getting a new one, once my big advance arrived…it hasn’t yet, but I have just enough that I could scrape together a down payment on something decent. I’d kinda been hoping to drive it to a lot and get a trade-in, though, and if it’s not […]
Yesterday, we cleaned. We cleaned like our lives depended on it, like non-existent mother-in-laws were visiting in ten minutes, like we were possessed by the Nine Demons of Hygiene. Kevin shampooed the carpets. I wielded a mop across an acre or so of hardwood floors. Bedding was changed. Scrubbing occurred, and then occurred some more. […]
Today, I finally got off my ass, went down to the little Chatham Art Gallery in downtown Pittsboro* that showcases local artists, and dropped off an application. (It’s only been, what–a year?) I imagine it’d mostly be matted prints that I’d be selling, and they do a lot of racks of little mini-print cards, so if […]
Whew, way too long since I updated! We have new art, which you can find by wandering through the gallery and clicking anything with “updated!” next to it. We have cool news–I’ll be the art guest of honor at FurtherConfusion 2010, and will be a returning GoH at Midwest Furfest in November. Dragonbreath is in […]
Re-read The Mote in God’s Eye yesterday–read it back in college, but not since. Man, that’s still a classic. (Pity about the sequel…) I dreamed about aliens, which wasn’t surprising, but the rest was a nonsensical jumble of wandering between large tents and solemn discussions of nothing in particular. I was actually inspired to re-read […]
