Con prep. Con prep con prep con prep. Con-prep. Also? Con-prep. I miss the days when con-prep consisted of loading the print-box, matting the last coupla pieces, packing a suitcase and handing my upstairs neighbor the keys. Now I have to hire a petsitter, clean the house, ship the con-kit to a very kind man who is taking […]

So I have been known to read Regency romances, starting with my buddy Deb’s–aka Sabrina Jeffries–and leading on to various others like Liz Carlyle, Amanda Quick, and Georgette Heyer. The slang vernacular in Georgette Heyer’s work is epic and breathtaking and eventually you get used to it and work out the context and can navigate large […]
In other news, I took my outrage and painted the back wall in the kitchen blaze orange with it.* (It’s…um…an accent wall. Yeah. That’s what you call it to not make people go "SWEET JESUS BLAZE ORANGE A WHOLE WALL ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND, WOMAN?" right?)

Also, since there was a fair amount of inquiries after the Lucky Armadillo piece, we’re back to the democratic method! (or at least the capitalist one…) Lucky Armadillo Auction
Some new art! A couple little pieces for FC, and the as-promised trio of petroglyphs with silverware. Plus spork! (Which I’m just gonna put up for auction. I think the petroglyphs are mostly out of my system now. I did a couple more for FC, which I haven’t scanned yet, but I seem to have recovered nicely. Now, […]
Well. It’s been a few months, and I wanted to let you all know that Ben’s made it nearly four months without a flare-up of his mouth problems! Back in October, I honestly didn’t expect he’d pull it off, and I’d, after much misery, decided that if he had another flare-up in six weeks, the way […]
