Let's Get Digital

YARRRG! I had myself a buccaneeringly good time yesterday!

What is a pirate’s favorite letter?
The sea, of course!

The pirate costume was a hit. I enjoyed the number of pirate jokes people told me last night.

…And now for a not so creative subject transition, because I will sit here all morning trying to come up with a way to meld Halloween and pirate talk into personalized mouse pads and writing. I only have so much time before I need to be at work, Harrrr!

There are many things you can do with digital art. I figured it was high time I turned one of my pictures into something tangible and useful. Take this picture I drew a few weeks ago, for example!

Taken as soon as I got home from working a late shift. 
I was that excited when I saw that it had come in the mail!

Here is the bright daytime version! 
The key chain is glossy, so the camera’s flash sort of made it look glittery.

I am pleased with how these two things turned out! There are many places online that allow one to personalize little things like mouse pads, key chains, mugs, and etc. It’s always rewarding to see something like this staring back at you from a fun, professional looking item sitting on your desk!

And on that note, I am still offering commissions! Click here for details.

And now for a word, many words

I am still sending out query letters for my novel. At this rate, it is going to be a long time before I can afford a copyeditor to give it that final pass. I have decided to write short stories in the meantime.
I will publish them as mini-ebooks on Lulu, so keep your eye out for some news! The stories will all take place in the universe I created for my novel. If you like sci-fi and drama, they just might suit your fancy.

Return to Tomorrow: July

I am losing the War Against Busyism ; it is such an unfortunate truth, but that doesn’t mean I was idle while waiting in the trenches. I was able to scribble out a few things for the month of July. A patriotic prelude to my new avatar Pencil drawings are such fun! I have plans to make a digital version of this ink sketch. I’m a Fighter Pilot – The image I created my avatar out of. It’s too wide to post on here, so here’s the link! 7/3 books read. Thank FSM for lunch breaks.

High Castle is Coming to SDCC Again!

News on the High Castle Front!  High Castle is going to be at San Diego Comic Con again! Going off of last year’s SDCC appearance, we can expect some hints about Season 4, a release date, and a trailer! I have no idea what to predict about S4, so I’m going to hold all of my theories and speculations until after the panel. I CAN’T WAIT! Yet, it is also a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is the final season of the show that has been a huge part of my life since 2015. Never before has a TV show captured my imagination like Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle.   Here are the details as posted by the official @HighCastleTV Twitter account: When: Sat, July 20th at 4:15 PM I am assuming this is PST, so it will be 7:15PM for us East Coasters. Where: Room 6A I truly wish I could be there! Costume designer Cate Adair posted some details on Instagram, and I WISH I COULD TELEPORT THERE. Okay. Deep breath 😉 There will be a costume designers guild booth (#734) in the main conv...

A Quick Post

I have some good news! The deadline for the contest has been extended to 25 May! The cover is waiting patiently for 31 May. I am excited about all of this! Part of me is tempted to post the evolution of the cover from the first sketches, to the first design, and finally to the final image. It is crazy to think that the idea I had in 2010 has turned into a full length novel! Well, enough cryptic words about the cover! Here is what I’ve been up to lately in the world of art: If Babylon 5 was an anime…and had a spin off series dedicated to the Psi Corps!  ** NOTE ** I used google translate for the words “Psi” and “Corps,” so the translation might not be 100% accurate.  I periodically run drawings for free commissions on Facbook! This was for the winner of my St. Patrick’s Day drawing.  More Babylon 5 fanart. This is one of the advantages of painting, if you want to decorate your walls with something obscure, you can! Sparkly space hi...
