Summer Update

#HighCastle at SDCC is less than one week away! Who’s going to follow the live tweets with me?

Okay, so I’m going to do my darndest to get better at blogging more often.

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately:

I made myself a new and improved website!

You may have noticed my new domain on this blog – mlcartthings.me

The old website was created in notepad with HTML and a dash of javascript. If I wanted to update anything, it was a royal pain, so it comes as no surprise that it was hardly ever updated, ha ha! When you want to get better at coding, making a website and following Microsoft tutorials is the way to go!

I finally decided to take a shot at selling my art on Etsy. We shall see how this goes! I spent Saturday painting my heart out for it. Here’s to hoping for the best!

In August I’m traveling yet again, but this time it is for FUN. It is my first non-work trip since 2015. I’m going to Idaho to see my family, and I hope to take a lot of photos of the landscapes there because I want to use them as ideas for the revamp/rewrite/it’s not Sisters anymore/ of “Alice.” Part of me wants to pretend to be the main character and post Instagram stories as if I’m her! But then again, I’ve never been to Idaho and it could look nothing like what I imagine, ha ha!

For those interested, “Alice” is set in the same setting as Sisters, but it is from the perspective of a woman from our world who is shocked to find a parallel universe where the unthinkable happened.

That’s it for now! Stay tuned because you know I’m going to write about #HighCastle’s panel at SDCC!

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.

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by!  This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew!  26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle!  High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years.  I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...

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...
