* The small rabbits are done for the most part. Will post pictures as soon as I finish the wax patinas.
* The cover art is done for the Evil Gazebo paperback which comes out in Dec. Will post that when it’s finalized.
* The big rabbit is being fired! yay!
* Just started working on a new ceramic vulture mask/wall hanging and have decided to make small skulls on sticks out of paper mache (note to self: buy balloons).
what next? what next?
I am so happy that I successfully completed the illustration job for The Halfling’s Court by Danielle Ackley McPhail ON TIME with like a whole 2 days to spare! I will now perform the happy dance…
*happy dance*
The book should be out sometime in November if all else goes well, which I’m sure it will.
Sold two prints and a card at the Witches Ball. Less than wonderful, but it was a very fun night. I got to meet a beautiful American Bulldog, hung out in a beer garden, spent more money than I made on stuff I didn’t really need, saw some amazing costumes, and found out that the old historic village of Mt. Holly, NJ is a very quaint and pretty place.
Now, I must start making things for xmas presents. Last year it was santas and snow men. This year? argh…I don’t know. I should have started over a month ago. I feel another deadline coming on.
so…
Without going into details (hurts my brain to do that), my latest reading on what is happening in the great health care reform initiative by our illustrious leaders is this:
Score 1! Health Insurance Co’s lobbyists on the mandate that everyone must buy health insurance (or be punished with government fines) and all direct cost containment measures removed in favor of “voluntary” efficiency measures.
Score 2! Pharmaceutical Co’s lobbyists in negotiating limits to government (and medicare) cost cutting, and to their efforts in creating disincentives for medicare recipients to switch to low-cost generics. Market protection at its most creative.
Score 3! Hospital lobbyists in crafting a deal to limit medicare payment reductions to $155 billion over 10 years.
Runner Up– AMA lobbyists stomping their feet on how unfair it is to favor hospitals over doctors incomes. I’m sure they will get their protections in the end.
FAIL!! We, the people.
With the Oct. 10th deadline approaching, I have thus far completed the cover, all sorts of permutations of the cover design for other applications, the border, and 7 illustrations. I have 5 to go.
pray for me
eta: so, h’okay….ALL day i’ve been thinking it’s thursday. it’s not. it’s wednesday. i have a WHOLE EXTRA DAY!
prayers musta worked!!!
I’m not at all sure it’s reasonable to dream about an old friend, lost to the decades and distance, as a reanimated corpse who is bored and wants to go to the Mutter Museum, but it is apparently 3pm on a Sunday and the museum will be closing at 5…
and so on
dear everyone,
oh, i so do want to make a change. i honestly don’t like living in the burbs of philly pa. i would prefer new mexico. montana. colorado. maine. canada. italy. the south of france. spain. mexico.
i miss the sky. the big sky with lots of expansive blue and thousands of stars at night. where there are few people and many animals, plants with thorns, sparse profusion.
ahwell…
