Lon Chaney's kid brother

*cough* er, I am going to take a nanosecond to say, hey! If you are a fakenews fan and you are vaguely aware that I make art and maybe you kinda like it, you can vote for my submission in the dA #moments-of-zen contest, related to the recent Rally.

( My submission: Two-Headed Boy (Jon&Stephen) )

Personally, I voted for the animation :D

Three years ago, almost to the exact day, I took three trains and taxi to get to the Union Square Barnes & Noble in NYC from nursing school in Bryn Mawr, PA. At that event I was meeting my hero for the first time, had never been to anything remotely like this, and was a nervous exhausted wreck after sitting in anticipation for close to six hours. Long story short, I burst into tears and got a leather jacket clad hug from Neil Gaimain.

Last night was even better :D

( EXTREMELY IMAGE HEAVY )

Too many pictures, too much to tell, and sadly work to go to -_- Part 2 later!

WHOO! yuletart is here again!

I am so excited :D I have participated the last two years and it is a wonderful wonderful fest. It's an artist's version of yuletide, and ALL artforms are welcome - there have been sculptures, felt and knitted dolls, in addition to paintings, animations, traditional & digital artforms etc. I just love secret exchanges where the whole point is to surprise a stranger with something that involves their interests :)

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO JOIN!! Right now new fandom nominations are going on (no surprise, Inception was instantly nominated and supported x 1 million), so you can head over and add your support to fandoms you want to see represented, or you can just chill and wait for September 20th when sign-ups begin :D

NO TIME! NO TIME! NO TIME TO TALK, I'M LATE I'M LATE I'M LATE!

Rrargh. I am frustrated with my inability to concentrate on more than one thing at once, but I suppose I should be happy I am concentrating on anything at all. I am painstakingly making my way through what used to be a simple length book for me, it's enjoyable, but it irks me how slowly I read. I can't even form the words properly to tell y'all "oh hey, I saw Jon Stewart in Atlantic City, then saw a taping" BUT....I have been drawing every damn thing that pops into my head lately x_X which is something that hasn't happened to me for a very very long time.

So, as an....offering? If it matters to you, here's one of the things I've been ignoring the rest of the world to concentrate on here and there:

( WIP - Not Hardly Alice )

This preview image is much smaller than the HUMONGOUS actual image, which itself is only a fourth of the full image that I posted the sketch of earlier. It may not look like much, but I can't remember the last time I spent this much time on a drawing. I may not have ever, including when I was taking art classes (albeit in high school). Anyway. It's amusing how nitpicky I've gotten about planning and using resource images etc. etc. - all the little steps that kill me when it comes to writing. Who knows, maybe this muse will translate into writing at some point. For the moment, I'm not greedy, just happy it's here :)

How are you?

Hee, I don't know how I noticed this last year... I think someone on FNFF or RBR must have popped up to tell us to vote for Jon Stewart (I think he made it to the Final Four at least).

This year, I filled out an office pool bracket sheet.

My picks are mostly based on a) I haven't regularly watched many tv shows for years, b) vague knowledge of other shows from people I know, c) JON STEWART TAKES ALL!!!

It's so geeky. I love it. Anyone else playing? Office Pool closes Saturday, March 6, 1-2PM EST. GET YOUR PICKS IN!

From last year:

Hellow Dreamwidth! My apologies for my complete inability to divert my attention to multiple journals, I'M WORKING ON IT! If you have any recs for communities on DW that you think I might like, or people I might know that I'm not already following, please let me know! Part of the plan is to put all my RSS feeds on this reading list so that I will pay more attention to it. Okay, enough excuses. In my plea for forgiveness, here is the taping report for The Colbert Report I attended on 12/15/09 (second to last show on the old set!!!)
