Layers
The weather's turned, the leaves are all manner of gorgeous colors and I've been able to dress in layers, all simple events that are miraculous after four years in Sarasota.
I've moved into an apartment in a building that might have been a hotel, where I can keep my gesso brush in the fridge. This gives me no end of happiness on both accounts.
While the website design and update is developing, I have a part-time job for a bookstore, I've sold prints and paintings directly to a few buyers and I'm teaching figure drawing for an online course that found me. On my own time, I have two rooms and a closet of studio space that I work in, although my paintings still need to be hung.
At the beginning of this month, I participated in my first group art show in the area for Rude and Bold Women of 2008. I was unsure of the reception that my work would receive but everyone was friendly and helpful and they really enjoyed my pieces.
Within the week, Shawn Tan's Canadian release of Tales from Outer Suburbia will be out. I'm awaiting my pre-ordered copy, as well as a copy of Gary Kelley's new book, Dark Fiddler.

I love Shaun Tan's work. The Arrivals was one of my favorite books from last year. Will have to have a look at this Gary Kelley book too.
Tales from Outer Suburbia was released October 28th. I got my copy the 29th. It is amazing! The cover is debossed! With a little glossy TV screen. You have no idea how happy this makes me.
And, Gary Kelley is a master, of course. If it's available, also check out his book Black Cat Bone. The illustration prints are incredible.
^_^ You know, I seriously think that they thought you rocked the show. And, judging from your pic, I think you looked lovely that night ^_^
Congrads on the Apt....and is that a "Believe in Unicorn" button in the picture of your typewriter? Lol You're silly hehe
Tina, you are missed. When you gonna be updatin' dis piece with some new work??
As soon as I have work finished that I own the copyright on. Without the threat of a deadline and proper thyroid vitamin medication, my attention has spent far too much time bouncing between painting new, fixing up old, copying the master and designing new books, currently in process. First I have to change the cardboard under my workspace. It's been bothering me.
