Thanks for everybody for all the advice and suggestions in yesterday’s post–much appreciated! Meanwhile, have a painting that showed up in my head t’other day and wanted to be painted for reasons not entirely clear to me. Fishhead Homunculus Back to the digital underpainting sealed to board method for this one…and yes, it’s a little […]

Topping off a month already filled with win, Kevin has just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. He’s got insurance, fortunately, not through his soon-to-be-ending-job. They gave him pills and told him to go take a class/see a nutritionist. No insulin shots, and he hasn’t been having blackouts or getting woozy or anything like that, […]
Is that a Kirkus starred review in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Dragonbreath: Attack of the Ninja Frogs. Ursula Vernon. "Vague notions of heroism entered his mind, and then paused, confused by their surroundings." Primed by viewings of Seven Fists of Carnage and like martial-arts fare, impulsive dragonling Danny "That-is-so-COOL!" […]
A buddy of mine is submitting to the Spectrum Annual this year, and her mentioning it reminded me of the whole thing. (I got a little distracted with the whole being-divorced-thing….) I don’t think I’ve submitted since…lord…my last memory is of ’06, I think. Then there was all that getting-divorced stuff, and I can’t remember […]
Yesterday was a very pleasant day. The kids needed to go Christmas shopping with their grandmother and Kevin’s awesome cousin Amy (aka our D&D rogue) so Kevin and I found ourselves roaming the city with four or five hours to kill. So we mailed the last of the Christmas orders, and then went to lunch […]
Nifty thing, new from Foxloft–a hand-carved Tagua pendant, in the form of our very own Red Wombat! I’ve got two of these pendants, one in a wombat and one in a wild boar and they really are cool and very wearable. (Also, Foxfeather is awesome. I’ve got to scan the walrus-and-radish she drew for me–made […]

Cannot seem to get into the Christmas spirit this year. I don’t know if it’s the weather or what. There’s just this sense of…Christmas? Yeah, I suppose it’s coming. I forget about it almost immediately. Otter, in similar straits, met me at Southpointe mall for lunch. In a last ditch effort to summon Christmas spirit, […]
Well, shitmuffins. Kevin’s contract with the city, which was supposed to go another six months or so, is getting cut as of the 23rd. Leaving aside all concerns of money and everything else–dude, December 23rd is not when you cut people. That’s just low. I realize they probably needed it to balance the budget, and […]
Okay, gang, last call for print orders! This is your last chance–get ’em in this week or any hope of Christmas delivery becomes a faint, far-off thing, possibly with feathers. I’m shipping as fast as I’m getting them, but the post office is a beast beyond my control, and we are gettin’ down to the […]
