Whoa

So, I'm not feeling the format of blogger anymore. I'm finding tumblr way more effective and easier to post. SO I'm not going to delete this blog, but everything new will be on my tumblr.

It's just easier. Thanks for following me/finding me here and I hope to see you on tumblr.

WoooHooo

I got into the Dragon*Con art show. Now I have so much work to do in a month. Brain = exploding!

This pretty much guarantees I will be posting more frequently with updates of all the work I finish,  since nothing gets me going than a fast approaching deadline. I actually might post a finished piece tonight.

Over and out for now.

I'm So Bad At Updating This Year

So ok, I totally suck at updating.

I have two new finished boards scanned and cleaned up. I have one waiting in the wings to be photographed because it is too big for my puny scanner baby and I have two in progress boards. I have some models lined up so hopefully I will have a good amount of new pieces. I want to start working bigger but until I find a reliable way to scan/photo them with the right about of detail it'll be sticking to smaller sizes.

First up we have Athena, goddess of wisdom. This is going to be the cover of a book of poems that will come out later (actually no idea when if the book is still going through. this seems to happen to me a lot.) Oh well. I love it.

Next we have The Pale Man. If you remember the books Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, you will clearly see where my inspiration for this came from. I mean those books in general really. 

And that's it for today. I've really got to try to update more regularly. Stupid work being all workie and paying me to do stuff and stuff. 

Over and Out.

Back From The Oblivion of Real Life (WHOA way to be dramatic much)

Alright kids, it's been BUSY! My IRL job hours are erratic at best though the inconsistency is quite consistent. My art life has been busy as well.

For the past few months, I was gearing up for Lunacon (a SciFi convention in Upstate NY). Those Lunarians put on a good show, so if you are itchy for a con to go to in early spring, that's a good one. Anyway, I like to show my work in their art show. This year was different. I had a fair amount of new work from the previous year. So first three days of the show, there are no bids on my work for the auction. Day three and wham bam thank you ma'am, I sold pretty much all of my original work. Not only that but I wont Judges Choice for Body of Work. SO AWESOME! Here is one of the newer pieces I showed.



This week, I applied to Dragon*Con. I mean if conventions are the venue that work with me than great. I love nerds because I am one. I'm also trying to figure out the possibility of getting a table at Comic Con NY.

I'm also working on a book cover for Greece.org, no idea when/if it will be published but yay! I have lots more work to post and scheduled time to post it.

I'm also working on starting a mood board blog, I really dont want to waste paper so if I put all the images that inspire me in one place I can find it any time.

Well, the shoestring licorice, Buffy (of the slayage kind) and my latest scratchboard are calling. Over and out.
