I painted another oil painting. I went to studio-model thing again on Monday. This one is 8×10. As before, due to requests of not showing nudity on the main page, the “NSFW” version can be found here. (along with “see-the-process” images)

09/08/14 Exhausting Position
My sweetie has gone away on vacation, and so I’m writing and writing and writing. And then petting the cats, then writing some more. And my brain feels like it has melted. I think I need a walk.
8/25/14 On Being Brave
I don’t watch a lot of movies these days, but it ended up being an interesting weekend for movies. We watched a Swiss sci-fi film “Cargo” which was pretty dang engaging and visually cool. The plot tension seemed to be trying to be more tense than I felt it effectively was. but I liked the story and ideas and characters. And then we watched “Boyhood” which you’d probably only like if you like Linklater. And I do (well, the “before” trilogy at least). but also, it was a fascinating project, filming it over YEARS so you actually got to see the kid grow up. Reminiscent of the “Seven Up” series.
Oh, we also watched “Oblivion” with Tom Cruise. Pretty, but… the story and characters just didn’t feel like they held together.
Saw the talented Anthime Miller at Rock Hill on Saturday, and it was truly lovely (imagine the love-child of Chet Baker and Antony and the Johnsons on cello). Afterwards I bumped into some friends and we got wine. It was just that kind of awesome weekend.
08/22/14 Complete The Mission
Chalk Fest went…. not at all. It rained all night before and here and there through the day. Ah well. Might be rescheduled September 18th. We’ll see. but all was fine. Inked more “Little Dee” pages, and then my dad and his girlfriend had come out to see the chalk-fest, so instead we walked around art-walk and then had dinner, which was super nice.
Listening to the audiobook of “Confederacy of Dunces,” which I haven’t read for a good long time. What a wonderful novel, so far ahead of its time (1963!). Love it.
08/20/14 Vote The Obvious
My agent, the fabulous Susan Hawk, posted an article over the weekend which is essentially her asking all her authors about revision and feedback and such. My advice is in there, but it pale compared to some of the great things people wrote. Check it out.
Also: Thursday I’ll be doing a huge chalk drawing for Chalk Fest, Glens Falls, NY 2014. Can’t wait (and hope it doesn’t rain)! The theme is Lichtenstein. You may remember the dragon I did last year…
08/18/14 – All Here
My sweetie’s mom was up for the weekend. A day of driving, movies, food, and general conversation. but now I need a weekend to relax. 😉
Saw the new Woody Allen “Magic In The Moonlight,” which was a silly romance. I enjoy his films a lot, even the silly ones.
Oh, and I started a new painting. Just blocked it out, but I love “process” pictures, so I’m going to share it.
08/04/14 Task for Orion
Monday is Monday is Monday. And frankly, I wouldn’t mind having Monday a dozen times this week, I might be able to get on top of things.
Cool news about the new Cannae Space Drive. IF the experiments are correct, currently it can only move about two eyelashes, but still, breaking Newton’s 3rd law of conservation of momentum would be HUGE. Neat stuff. Curious if it’ll test out in the end (good to keep some skepticism on this one, even if it IS super exciting).
Sunday we went to the Hudson River Music Hall to see a viola/piano performance. it was lovely (there was this Bach piece which was so moving).
08/01/14 Jetpack
I love the concept of jetpacks, but I know I’m clumsy enough that I’d break my head the first time I tried one. BUT, by the time we’ve invented a jetpack, smart cars that drive themselves will be par for the course and jetpacks will KEEP you from breaking your head. That’s the basis for the physics of this strip and WHY Olivia didn’t break her head.
07/25/14 Fixing Things
Helllllooooooo, Friday!
Just drew for the last local play this season. A thing where a bunch of us illustrators descended on the final tech rehearsal of the run of four local plays, drew, and then our drawings were hung during the run of the show. This week was a review of Johnny Cash. Fun! (if you like Johnny Cash)
07/21/14 Angie’s Plea
Monday is here! Had a quiet weekend. Was a bit under the weather Saturday, so while I was sitting around taking care of myself I FINALLY finished the first draft of the novel. Done! Well, now the real work begins. Edit edit edit.
Then Sunday we went for a small hike. Good quiet sweet times.
I think everyone else was at San Diego Comic Con. Huh. That would explain why it’s been so quiet.
