Yeah, the con report is a little late. Such is life ( Read more... )

After the dentist and dinner, I stayed up later than planned last night, finishing this. If no one buys it, I'm tempted to add a girl curled up, reading a book, in the biggest bubble, but I like the painting as-is, and besides, I can't paint up a decent person anywhere near as fast as I can do a flower or tree ( Read more... )

So, we have this room off the TV room, either a very large closet or a very small room. The ancient carpet in it resisted being pulled when we moved in, so we left it there. We put the cat box in it, and plants, and some logs for the cats to climb on. Sadly, eventually an elderly feline started leaving messes there when the cat box wasn't as ( Read more... )

So, I'm still working on the Capricon Challenge painting. I now have a goat and part of a child-satyr. She did have a face, but it was out of proportion with the body and not very good, so I've painted over her poor face.

She looks very awkward and sad this way, but the covering paint has to dry quite thoroughly before I try again or the ( Read more... )

So, every year, Capricon has an artist's challenge, where artists have to include several things in a single work of art. Lately, I've been arriving at the con and painting one at the last minute--fun, but I know I could do better if I wasn't rushing that much. So this week, I looked up the particulars ahead of time ( Read more... )

The convention was long, and lots of fun. I talked about writing a lot, both my personal writing and Torn World. Today I had a job interview, and watched Olympic skating.  I think the job interview went well, though the woman I interviewed with said she was sorry she had only one opening, because there were a number of very qualified applicants.

In Which the Dandelyon is Tired!

I woke up earlier than planned, because the covers had been pulled off half of me and my arm was Cold, and because my CPAP was out of water. Now, those two things were fixable, but I was also awakened from a dream where I'd been captured by this female serial killer-psychopath, and though I had plans to get away ( Read more... )

And sadly, none of the people My Angel and I usually share rooms with will be there. My sister does live in Chicago, but not really nearby, and I do art and music and that means lugging around stuff, so I'm interested in exploring other options.

So I was up by 9 on Saturday too--got to be some sort of a record for me at a con, but I had a panel at 10, and I think much better with food, so up I got.  The panel was on LiveJournal/Blogging and Fandom, and ranged from the differences between Amateur Press Associations and blogging, to how to collect things like blogs from the viewpoint of a ( Read more... )

As you will remember, our intrepid fan is stuck without necessary equipment...

So, far too early, my cell phone starts singing to me, "Right Now...  (I'm not fond of many of the songs you don't have to pay for on this phone, but those words seem right for "wake up NOW".)  So I get up, hurry through a shower (with or without a tuner, I'll be onstage ( Read more... )
