First things first, Oddmall is THIS WEEKEND.
I love the show description: Oddmall - Emporium of the Weird - Chrishanukwanzmadan holiday edition. How fun!
So all the bangles and dangles, all the arts and crafts are getting packed and loaded up into vehicles and we will be taking off. We? Yup, I am splitting the oversized table with three other artists. If three is a crowd then four is an - extravaganza? Don't know, but it should be fun!
So Happy Chrishanukwanzmadan in advance there peoples! Good luck wishes are always appreciated.
In case you didn't realize, I am a girl. I am also a total softie when it come to two things, kids and animals. I don't care if people mock me for being a tree-hugger or bleeding heart liberal. I would save every puppy and kitty and froggie if I could. So I've decided that the goods which I can't sell at Oddmall will be going up on ebay - I will be using their giving works program to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Humane Society.

Talking about art is like dancing about architecture
Oddmall is steadily approaching. The official date is November 7th, so if you are going, better note the date in your calendar or give yourself a faux tattoo of it with a sharpie pronto.
I have been begging my hubby to help me get the Halloween Comic printed for Packrat Comics. Packrat is having a party on the 24th, I will be in Cincinnati, but I want to give them the books to give away. I also need to bring them some canned food, they do this Halloween party for Mid Ohio Foodbank, you see? So they collect canned food for it. Packrat folks are good peoples.
I've been falling asleep watching Art 21 on PBS lately. One of the artists who was rambling said "art is just thinking, it is a way of expressing what is on the inside on the outside." I thought that was a pretty good definition, as far as definitions go. Defining art is something I am not arrogant enough to try and do on my own.
I keep obsessing about the things that I don't have enough time to do. I have been somewhat methodically studying the patterns of hieroglyphics and symbols of chess pieces. It is for the latest comic book pages of Symphony of the Universe. As Adelle is leaving the giant chessboard and approaching Aten-Ra's bizarre pseudo-Egypt land I want to represent that visually, so I am trying to do that with thick patterned borders. It has been taking me a long time to get back into the groove.
The only thing I can think that the chess pieces and hieroglyphics have in common is that they are both a from of symbolic language. But I'll spare you any Scott McCloud style lectures and leave it at that.
I stopped by the library on my lunch break today. They had a book called "1,000 Inspirations for Jewelry" - it is almost entirely pictures of handmade beaded things. So I picked it up. Not that I need more distractions, but I do love a good distraction.

Comission for E-Comics Gazette
Hey guys and gals, a commission that I did in the way-back machine for Chris Lambert has just been posted in the E-Comics Gazette!
Go check out Chris and his awesome online issues! You can see the story he wrote and the artwork I made for him here (click on Puff's Revenge once you are on his site).

New Artwork
I feel like my brain was ripped apart and scattered to the winds this week. So it isn't too much of a surprise that my art is all over the place right now. I'm hoping on gaining some focus soon - it is so much faster to make individual pieces as opposed to sequential pages. I'm also really pushing myself to create some real quality pieces for Symphony, so stay tuned, same bat time same bat channel. It will happen, promise.
In the meantime I have some random new artwork to share with you. Let us start with the comic book fan art:
and now some Japanese style kitties (Neko, neko!!):
and then on a more macabre tone:
and my last piece to share for now, Hemleyer, the monster of Law. He will be a villain in the upcoming story arc for Symphony of the Universe. I know, kind of working out of order. Artists are weirdos, did you know that?
