Bye for now -

Am leaving on my Big Adventure. Will be back in just over a week. At which point, we'll see what I'm wearing, and I'll be bringing my chickens home...

See you later.

The Dangers of Downtime...

I have done a rash and impulsive thing...

I have signed up to attend this:


It is an absolutely amazing sounding week of artartart with killer, top-of-their-field painters. Of the SciFi/Fantasy variety. A market I have always been drawn to, but instead, keep ending up painting fairy wings for seven year old target readers. Who like glitter.

I only ran across the existence of this workshop a few days ago (now that I can actually read things online again). After some deliberation - and trepidation - I took their last open slot. I now have to start working on a fantasy cover 'assignment' for this, in addition to the two twinkly fairy covers I am doing in June.

I am excited, but intimidated as all get out. (I suspect that this workshop's target demographic is not middle-aged, watercoloring, children's illustrators... I don't have a big-bosomed, metal-bikini-wearing, warrior chick anywhere in my portfolio...)

If I survive it all, I hope to come back transformed.

Maybe it'll be me wearing the metal bikini.
