Can’t find where I put my camera. So the photo of the latest oversize work was taken with an iPhone, and the quality is about what you’d expect. Nevertheless! It’s done on a piece of board, and this time I mean “an actual honest to god BOARD,” woodgrain of which is visible through the body […]

Well, yesterday was certainly exciting. Haven’t been accused of being backed by the Illuminati occult before. Some really awesome people re-tweeted me and linked to it, including a couple that made me fangirl and do the “oh god! So-and-so knows I exist!” And my father even called to congratulate me on my new status as […]
So today I got a very nice e-mail from a librarian who has participated in the summer reading program, for which I did the big poster and art and whatnot. (Which, hey, I can post now!) In addition to the main poster, I did a bunch of little spot art that went into various T-shirts […]
Lord Stanley Feathergoiter, of the Cluckworth Feathergoiters, came back from India a changed rooster. Certainly he had made his fortune, and was now quite indolently rich, certainly the hens found his world-weary air to be irresistible, but he was also plagued by dreadful nightmares of the torments suffered at the claws of a cult of […]
Kevin is sitting in his dark office, lit only by the blue computer screen, slumped back in the chair, tattooed arms on the desk, brow furrowed, to all appearances in Angry Bald Man mode. Sami, the black cat, is laying on the desk, her tail flicking in idle annoyance. We are also currently having a […]
The first time I ever felt like a grown-up was when I bought my first large appliance. Later on, I signed my own leases, got my own jobs, bought my own car. I got my own health insurance, and of course I learned, as most of us do eventually, that we are all sweaty and […]
“We’re all mad here,” said the cat. “I’m mad. You’re mad.” The loris thought that the cat should probably speak for itself, but was too polite to say so. There was an awkward silence. “And it’s no use saying you don’t want to go among mad people!” said the Cheshire cat, its voice rising hysterically. […]
Well, color me behind the times–Kirkus Reviews isn’t dead! They had announced that they were going to die, but apparently somebody bought them and they live to review another day. (This all happened in February. You can tell I am really up on the latest news. On the other hand, if they find a weird […]
Having been playing around with painting on book pages, Kevin offered me a stack of water-damaged Shonen Jump from the garage. He had about eight boxes, and I’ll probably end up using most of them as the bottom layer of a sheet-mulched garden bed* but they’re an entertaining surface to doodle on, even if I […]
I can go into any drugstore in the known world and buy condoms, athlete’s foot creme, Vagisil and tampons, and feel not a jot of shame. If they sold horse lube and bananas, I could buy those in concert and not worry that anyone was judging me (although I would certainly make note of such […]
