my unplanned cybervacation

I'm away from cyberspace for an uncertain amount of time..we'd had internet problems last week that a tech fixed Thursday.

on Friday morning I noticed exposed wire from kinks on my laptop power cord (and actually got a little shock). I searched and ordered a replacement then wrapped it in electrical tape. Yesterday morning when I tried starting it up for catching up with emails over breakfast it had officially died, status of laptop unknown (but certainly powerless). I'm on my partner's computer now. I'll try to make an announcement when I'm back.

Tiger Lily perched stage 6

nearly finished (or at least I thought so before I looked at this scan). I've added a bit of white acrylic and sumi ink in this stage along with several more hours of drawing.

I'm not sure who she is, but she looks like a felicity to me. Transparent oils on copper, approx. 1.5x1.75"

it's coming along

I'm compelled to keep modeling with the watercolor pencils instead of painting it out this time. 80% finished but the last 20% will require meticulous labor. 9x12"

bearded foursquare

this was my first in the ongoing series of art based on pix men post of themselves, acrylic 9" square, from 2007. I've sadly lost track of this handsome man's name, but would love to send him a scan of this if I find him again!

I also consider this my first comic, such as it is.
