My collage-y neurosis eventually gave way to this. I dunno about the framing elements, but I had a lot of fun with the phoebe, which is painted on wet-media acetate. It’s kind of a neat surface once you get used to it–I used Pitt pens for most of it, and since there’s very little adherence, […]

I wish I was halfway done with this already. I’ve said that to my mother and Kevin so far, and neither of them quite understood what I was talking about until I babbled about it for a minute or two and they picked it up, probably more through their hard-won Ursulapathy (Ursulamancy?) skills than by […]
Okay, gang, it’s That Time Of Year–Christmas orders! If you’re planning on ordering prints from Red Wombat Studio for Christmas, please, please, please get ’em in by Dec. 10th. (And if you’re international, then…uh…tomorrow would be good.) Later than that, and I can’t swear they will arrive on time–I am already up to my eyeballs […]
After about ten minutes, a bear in a boat came and got her. This was a good thing, because she’d been thinking about panicking–it was a very small rock–and the cat’s unflappability only made it worse. The bear didn’t say anything. Bears generally don’t, but they also don’t usually carry oars or row small boats […]
Kevin’s recipe for the pork loin! Which was awesome! (Go easy on the cherries–you won’t use the full bag, and if you thought you were supposed to and threw the whole thing in, it’d be awfully…intense.)
Given that I’ve spent probably the balance of Thanksgivings in my life nowhere near my family, I don’t really get into Thanksgiving all THAT much. But I do like the food, and Kevin’s gotten me somewhat back into the spirit since he’s been doing a Stray’s Thanksgiving for years, and lots of our friends tend […]
Had one of those mind-bending dreams that make you sleep late. The yard was flooding, and there were strange frogs and enormous lizards with orange dewlaps in it. My mother was frantically rearranging the living room, while the yard continued to flood. Then strange people started showing up, and I was wandering around hearing snippets […]
All she wanted was to go to the coffee shop. It had been one of those mornings, and yes, she was trying to save money, but damnit, she needed a chai latte. She deserved a chai latte. Damnit. Then things got a little weird, and there were people on the bus that didn’t exactly look […]
Everybody give a big round of applause–Kevin is 90 days non-smoking as of today!
“Show me the tentacles! I see no tentacles!” In which we cover such wide-ranging topics as $.97 instant mashed potatoes, why there is a cow skull on the table, what to do when you find a human skeleton at the flea market, how Ursula is like a Sarlacc, and eat a bunch of mostly bad […]
