Any and every kind of artwork I do.
Bring out the confetti, I’m going to Vegas?

I am SOOO excited! I don’t have a book deal in hand… but I’ve made it past the preliminary screening! Saturday I turn my life upside down in order to squeeze in a chance to pitch my book idea to a panel of publishers. Tickled pink is… well, it doesn’t cover the half of it! A first and real chance to publish a book!
“When she was good, she was very, very good,

Any veteran that has set up a Windows machine will probably tell you that computers can be a love-hate relationship, and the Cintiq Companion by Wacom, is no exception. I say this, and yet she is beauty, right out of the box. Continue reading “The Cintiq Companion Is A Pretty Little Thing”
This WAS supposed to celebrate the long awaited Cintiq Companion that I bought, but that is a so-far disastrous tale, waiting to be told. (Trouble ordering, trouble getting it delivered… trouble nearly right out of the box. Clearly there were signs…)

So, that’s that for now. I am currently fighting with my Cintiq Companion, wondering if it needs to be sent back for repair or refund… nothing is worse than a monitor you can’t adjust.
Doing what you love, and loving what you do…
::happy sigh::
To be honest, I didn’t expect to succumb to more dragons quite so quickly, but some how I’ve ended up on a roll. (To be frank, I had a nude portrait in mind for my next project.)
Yesterday I found myself inspired by this beautiful photo that graced my Facebook news feed…
