Drosophilia
From lab experiment to artwork: the journey of a humble fruit fly. Today in our last hands-on molecular techniques lab, we were counting flies. But first, we put them to sleep. Not permanently! No, we knocked them out (eventually. Perky little buggers) with an odd-smelling FlyNap, and then we tipped them onto paper and counted…

Indiana ComicCon
I will be at the Indiana ComicCon this coming weekend, the end of the month. You’ll be able to find me in Booth 606 in the exhibitor’s hall, where I will be booth babe for Mystik Waboose, purveyors of fine geek apparel. T-shirts to show your fandom to the world, labcoats for the mad scientists, they…

Art Stories, with a special guest appearance
I was delighted to learn that my daily art yesterday reminded Julie Pascal of a story she had written. You can read it at her blog, and I recommend you do, it’s very good. Like many short pieces, it will leave you thinking ‘what comes next?’ but it’s satisfying in its entirety. The Ship was all…

A Broken Tulip
As I was making my way through my day, I stole a moment to smell the roses – not literally, they aren’t yet blooming – and I photographed tulips. There are a handful in glorious bloom on my campus, and I felt a bit conspicuous as I made my way through the grass to take…

Inktail is Here!
A month later than my latest projection, the coloring book is now available for purchase. It’s been quite the adventure, bringing this project to completion. I’ll blog the whole saga in a couple of weeks, but right now I’m just holding it and cooing over it a little. Ok, maybe not. But it’s cool! I…

Living Artfully
As I continue my year of creating art daily, I decided I’d put some of it here. For convenience’ sake, I’ve been posting them to a facebook album. It’s easy, quick, and most days it’s all I have energy for.

Gleanings from the Desk
Good Morning! Well, it’s morning where I am. And there’s sunshine, so that’s good. I’m headed out to a gig shortly, so this is just a round-up of what’s on my desk and tabs for the day. First! Big News! LOL… I have ordered proof copies of Inktail & Friends. They will arrive here in…

Theft of an Original Idea
I helped someone steal my idea this weekend. I could have walked away and been rude when she started asking questions, but I was proud of my work and showing it off. I did tell her that I’d be publishing a tutorial of the design so others would be able to buy it and make…

This and That
I am up at Mad Genius Club today with the second part of Forensics for Writers. I’m not at home today, so here are some Pretty Birds to look at in the meantime.

Tools and Toys
I went to the post office this morning, dragging my dear First Reader along for company. I was going because I’d checked to see where a box I’d ordered was – my supplier is very reliable and fast, so I knew it wasn’t her – and discovered that the USPS had attempted delivery (in the…

Selling Art Merchandise
Selling Art I know there are not a lot of us who are working at art and writing. I probably wouldn’t have gotten into it, the art is sort of my sanity valve when school gets intense, except… I kept getting asked to sell pieces, print, coffee mugs (looks hard at a certain person). So…

Dragon Tears
This is probably the most ambitious art project I’ve ever taken on. Maybe. But it’s made me happy to work on it at odd moments between really frustrating Linux assignments where we aren’t given vital information and… growllll So I art for relaxation and dive back into the fray. I know this isn’t good as…
