more stuff for megacon. i don't have near as much done as i would like, but i'm getting there.
if you are going to be in orlando & will be at the con-please come by my half table in artist's alley-i'll be int he brown section, i believe, with the small crew from nightgig.com.

i <3 the muppets.
i would be so excited when it would come on tv when i was little. it was one of my favorites.
gotta love tunes that stick in your heads for days and days.

this skit never fails to crack me up.

the idea was to create some art for megacon next month.
i started off with a sketch card and ended up with a more detailed piece.

i plan on making prints of this one to sell at the con.

art is © me
Ximinez, Biggles, Fang, and all things Monty Python related belong to their respective owners, i.e. not me.

the dark mark

had a blast with face painting at the potterparty.hillarygayle's prediction that the dark mark would become one of my biggest requests that night came true. there was also lots of painting house symbols, owls, snitches, lightening bolt scars, etc. lots of good times.
when someone first requested the dark mark, i had to think fast to design one! i then just kept repeating the design for the rest of the night. one kid came back and had me do one on his other arm, too! o.0 i guess he wanted to be twice as bad as everyone else.

the kids kept me busy right up until...about 10-15 minutes 'til midnight. very busy. helped clean up a bit so got home later, aroun 1-1:30. read until 4 am, collapsed into sleep, woke at 11 and finished at 5pm yesterday. been rereading bits because i know i read it too fast!

only bad bit about the potterparty was i couldn't hang out-i was too busy. at least the painting was fun. i did feel i goofed some of the painting up, but no one complained, which means to me that everyone was satisfied.

called ladykeats and we gabbed and gabbed about HP7. we both agreed that it was a roller coaster type of book. 8^) i want to read it again.

alas, my digital camera is still missing. no photos from me. i was too busy to take them anyway.
will post links to the fun when i find them. please tell me, hillarygayle, that you have photos! please! what about you, asqmh?

edit: forgot to mention, the subject line is lyrics from philosopherock's very funny "the real mad-eye moody." go get their cd!

pen & ink
paper size=11x17 (reduded 70% to fit scan bed)

i'll be coloring and framing this one tonight! This features Ken's characters, Gunther (with the swords) and Pyrus. The seem to have been shrunk from their original size! i'm still thinking of what they are going to be saying, but Pyrus is trying to find a counter spell in a spellbook of his that wasn't effected by the spell. being this small makes reading fast a little tougher.
