Albeit, only for Thursday, as they sold out of the other days before I got around to buying a ticket. Will be spending the rest of the weekend in SD with various friends. I am considering heading to Wondercon instead next year for a less hectic insane crowd ( Read more... )

Work is surreal at times. Sometimes, I think work doesn't know what to do with me because my position was created by my former boss who doesn't work here anymore. Also, I'm probably a lot more forgiving about what I do than someone with more experience/fame/ego would be ( Read more... )

And now for something completely different--
Didn't point to my UnChristmas electronic greeting in time for Christmas, but did put it up in time. Also, here's some slightly disturbing holiday cubicle decorations . . .

For more cheerful stuff, I've also put up the entirety of the mini 2"x2" canvas gifts I finished this year. You can see them here. ( Read more... )

Ah sorry, LJ. I promised to post some sketches, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I've scanned some of them in, but, as many of you may know, my current infatuation with all things Doctor Who and David Tennant has taken over my life. I can probably blame Kimbo and my local library for this. I go to pick up Series 4 from the library later today ( Read more... )

Still a little sore and tired from spending time at the beach yesterday. Caught a couple waves on the boogie board, slightly improving. No sunburns yet, though I am a little more tanned on my toes than usual.

Might post a few sketches later, but meanwhile, I finally posted photos of the murals I did this year. Check it out! Leave a comment  4 

Went biking around the Santa Fe Dam today and walked some of the nature trails. It's a good place to spot quail, though only in the distance today. However, I did see a bird species I haven't before, the Cactus Wren, which strangely does sound like a car engine that won't start, as they described on the Nature Center signage.

Also, decided to get ( Read more... )

Mostly reviewing one of the CDs I got today.
So I finally broke down today and bought the deluxe edition of  Noble Beast by Andrew Bird. I also got The Boy with No Name by Travis to listen to on my journey up north for my annual sojourn to the Illustrating Nature show opening.
So, having listened to Useless Creatures, part of the deluxe edition, it's ( Read more... )

Been working on a mural lately, of which the computer mockup can be found here along with a photo of an older mural that I did for work. I've forgotten how physically draining it is to work on a mural. Always ready for food and bed these days. Going on four weeks now and it's still not done. Probably another week'll need to be thrown in. The ( Read more... )
