Sigh..

<---- this is one of the several reasons I hardly get painting done. All of my animals are lap fungi and they need loads of attention. I can't ever say no...The stuff behind us in the picture is show stuff. Yeah I have one next Sunday. Then Thursday I get Steven from the airport and Friday waaaaay too early we all leave for Faeriecon. I will be excited once I get there and there isn't anything else for me to do!!

It is a soggy soggy day here! All dark and rainy and I don't feel like doing ANYTHING but sleeping. Must get to work.....

Paint Everywhere!!!

Hi everyone,

I managed to get 4 abstract backgrounds done last night. You know what that means right?? More wyrms..I guess I got a little too carried away because I got paint all over the place! I need to get that cleaned up before Steven gets here. Man I can be a mess sometimes.

I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Johnnie is hanging cabinet doors and has an assortment of other things to do. I will be painting away and making buttons and all sorts of other things for the shows. I did a lot of inventory yesterday which is really time consuming. I still need to count prints so I know what I need to make for the shows. I can't believe I have a show NEXT weekend. I am totally freaking insane but I love it. I am getting my costumes together for Faeriecon as well. My mom is working on one (please god let her just finish it I know she rarely manages to accomplish that..) and I had a back ordered piece finally ship from the Pyramid Collection. A word to the wise with that company. Order early and don't expect it in in time. I have ordered with them 3 times and my shortest wait for an order was three months. My longest was 6!! Hardly any of the items said back order at the time. I am waiting on a skirt I ordered in JULY!! So yeah just keep that in mind.

I have so much to do today but I am not so motivated. Better get it together. Have an amazing weekend everyone, I am sure I will be updating again soon!!

**EDIT** Frack the boards are not dry yet. Way to go damp and rainy!! On to plan B...

Fallen Knight WIP

Hi Everyone,
I've been busy busy busy! I have prints available up on the site of Sea Spray. I have even made a matted archival one which is hand accented. I really like how it turned out. I have been sketching out some new pieces. I have a new digital piece called Fallen Knight. The horse you see here has seen some battle and is returning home without the hero who once rode him. This will most likely be a very somber looking piece. Lots of detail, metal, leather, fabric and rocks and trees. I don't know how quickly I am going to be able to finish this one. I do think I will finish Enchanted moon this week so I will still have something new for you all by Sunday. I want to get as many pieces as I can finished for the con and really after try to keep this pace so I have some nice things for the holidays as well. I had a lot of fun making this armored horse so I would say it is safe to say that if this one goes well there will be more where that came from. I heart draft horses SO MUCH. I could paint them and nothing else forever but that would be boring for you so I promise I won't. If anyone is wondering why I have gone unicorn crazy lately it is because I am getting psyched up for a calendar I am working on for next year! With a real publisher even..I will have do make some more critters for you guys so you don't get bored but I want this calendar to be PERFECT. So bear with me.

Anyway I hope you like it and I will be posting again soon.

18 days to Faeriecon!!
