N’Inktober: Finale
And the last week closes with a final piece in watercolor and ink style. I’m very pleased with my efforts this month, and looking forward to focusing on other things than art next month – as much as I love doing my art, it isn’t exactly received with much comment, so I’ll go back to…

Work Weekend
So I have three days off from the day job, and my reaction was ‘goodie! I can do the other job!’ and maybe I’m broken, but this is what I mean when I say that… I started my morning a little late, with the Mad Genius Club blog post, wherein I postpone the deadline for…

Art Process
I’m working on art daily again, even if it’s just a doodle. I’m always working on writing, but I find that art helps with that process by keeping my mind active even when the story is stubbornly blocked. And it makes me happy. For reasons, right now all the happy things are good things. So…

At The World’s Top
Where it’s cold and the wind blows the ice crystals into smithereens and only the spruce endure the freezing of every fiber over and over year in and year out… the ice dragons drift through clouds.

Fun Day: Gem City ComicCon
The Ginja Ninja, Little Man, and I did a con today. It’s a small con very local to us, and I had no idea what to expect. I’d been wanting to check it out since I’d taken a drawing class in college and my professor was involved in getting it started, but life has interfered.…

Review: ArtRage
I suspect that it will surprise none of you that I have been dabbling in digital art again. As much as I love the traditional arts, especially watercolor and sumi-e, there are times that making space and time to paint in is nigh impossible. In those times, I’ve been prone recently to tinkering with the fractal programs…

Review: Dr. Ph. Martin Ink
Time for another art supply review! I feel I should note that this, and the other more lengthy review I did after Inktober, are paid for entirely by me, and as such are not biased by anything more than my own whimsy. It’s not that I wouldn’t review stuff if given to me for that…

Inktober Part 2
The second section in what will be a three-parter this year. It’s been very busy, and I had a small health hiccup that set me back a bit for time – which is why the blog went quiet for a couple of days, sorry. Life, work, and family: they all have priority. However, I have…

Checking In
I’ve had a lovely week off between contracts, and today it’s back to work. I don’t know what to expect – I don’t even know my hours, yet! But I am trying to get the blog onto something approaching a schedule, again. I’d meant to do so much – including prepping blog posts – this…

Garden Battle
So I was inspired by a giant slug… Sometimes I think it would be fun to create an illustrate a children’s book. And then I come back to my sanity. It’s not the art. It’s the story! I don’t know that I could tell that level of story. But thank you, John, for the…

Book Covers and Designs
It’s been a busy month for me, in the graphic design department. I’ve had the pleasure of creating several book covers, in different genres, for clients. I always enjoy this sort of work, from the research into the specific genre covers so I’m sure my work best suits the marketplace, to matching up with author…

You can email me, or contact me via FB. I am also accepting commissions for artwork and book covers. Special summer rates! I’m putting…
