I Bought Fake Body Kun (AGAIN)
I bought another set of fake Body Kun and Body Chan figures – but this time it was on purpose! Since we’re a few years removed from The Great Body Kun Tragedy, I thought that maybe the knock-offs have gotten better. They’re certainly more abundant! So I picked up a set of fake figures and…
What’s New for 2023!
Happy New Year! I hope the time goblins brought you AWESOME presents! It does kind of feel like there’s a little (or a lot of) uncertainty with this new year coming in, so my control freak brain made me sit down to figure out what the heck we’re gonna do with this website, content, streaming,…
Celsys Deleted My Color Set!
Get ready, it’s time to rant! Last month (have I been starting ALL of my blogs this way??) Peter Paul Rubens was the artist I chose to write about. For the project I created a color set based on the palette he would have used in his paintings. I uploaded the color set to Clip…
Expressionist February
Our artist this month is Franz Marc! I chose him because despite his short life and career, he was a major influence in the German Expressionist movement. His work is instantly recognizable – if you’ve seen the painting of blue horses, you’ve seen a Franz Marc painting. Marc’s work was so avant-garde for the time…
January Artist of the Month: Berthe Morisot
When I decided to do the Artist of the Month project, Berthe Morisot was one of the first artists I thought of. Her talents as an artist could have easily been tempered by the male-dominated art world and societal norms of her time, but she was in a unique position to contribute to the rise…
New Year, New Goals!
Happy New Year! Let’s start with a nice virtual hug. Come on, bring it in! We all need a nice, solid hug. The new year doesn’t mean things automatically change for the better (or worse), but that symbolic fresh start sure is nice. I don’t know about you, but I’m not aiming for any resolutions…
It’s 2020! WTF Happened??
Seriously, what the actual fuck? I’m not going to list all of the WTF things that have happened so far this year. I’m also not going to make some silly “it can’t get any worse”-type statement. Let’s be real, that’s just asking for (more) trouble. What I am going to do apologize for largely neglecting…
It’s 2020! Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2020! I hope the new year finds you well! What’s New? Last time I posted Inktober was approaching and so was my carpal tunnel release surgery. I sat down a bagillion times to write an update, but… ok, no excuses. I just didn’t do it. But it’s a new year and the perfect…
Roadblocks Don’t Have to be Roadblocks
Life has weird ways of interfering with the things we want to do. Roadblocks happen all the time. Sometimes they seem to be everywhere, sapping energy, joy, and inspiration. Ugh. That’s a bleak start to a blog isn’t it? But it’s kind of how the last week or so has been. Lots of effort (or…
Getting Started
Getting started – it’s tough isn’t it? Maybe it’s not the getting started part that’s hard, but getting the start that you want. I had a whole plan for the first blog on this site, all starting with this project I did turning an old book into my current journal. It was called “New Beginnings”…
