Illustration Friday-Open

Just a quick one for IF folks out there. Thanks for coming to visit. Leave me a comment so I can come and check out what you're doing.

Travel Kitties on Etsy

Today I loaded up all my Travel Kitties over at Etsy. We'll see how it goes. It's been fun putting everything together for the Travel Kitty Project so, I hope some of you will want to play. I still have some things I want to add in the upcoming weeks, but I finally felt ready enough to list my stuff. Now I'll finally get back to Temporal Millionaire issue #3 which i've put on hold for a while. Thanks to those of you have been emailing me to trade or buy zines. It's always great to have some new reading material and art work around as well as some new pen pals!.

Where's the Travel Kitty?

Tyker Funf in Treir, Germany

See him in the statue's hand? This picture cracked me up, mostly because that's a little Travel Kitty I made and he's in Trier, Germany kicking back with this statue boy!

I've been consumed with the TKP in my free time, but it's finally getting close to getting officially started. I have the blog for it set up and looking pretty good. Tomorrow I upload the pictures for my esty store and then we'll see who wants to participate from there.

Here's a link to the Travel Kitty Project if you want to check it out.

Here are some of the Perth's friends.

Hey everyone! It's been quite a while. I'll get back to visiting all of your sites soon. I've been really busy trying to write Temporal Millionaire #3 and get the Travel Kitty Project started in my spare time. I figured it was finally time to start getting the word out about where i've been...just making little poseable kitties. I still have some writing to complete on the Travel Kitty Project site and getting my esty store finished, but it's close now. The kitties are ready the pictures all uploaded. So you can start checking them out and let me know what you think. Flickr Pictures Travel Kitty Project Blog Off to a friends wedding in D.C. tomorrow...have a good weekend everyone.

Here's my IF drawing for the week. I'm trying to spend more time drawing and working on projects this week instead of sitting at my computer. So if you want to know something about this drawing you'll have to leave a comment. Cheers!

Zine World #25 Reviews My Zine

I sent my first issue of Temporal Millionaire out for review last year and the review will run in issue #25 of Zine World, excellent. Go buy a copy! It looks like this:

Here's the text of the review (Thanks to artnoose for the review and for Laura B. for sending me the text via email):

Temporal Millionaire #1: This is a great first zine. Lisa takes the moments when her toddler son is sleeping or occupied with a toy to draw the things around her and write about the vignettes of her life. Some of them are about being a parent and some are about being a drummer. I hope she continues doing this zine. Lisa M.

Here's a link to a few of the pages I've scanned from TM-issue #1 if you haven't gotten a chance to check them out. So, my friends, that's the good news of the day...now back to the projects at hand.

 

Finally a drawing for Illustration Friday again

IF-visitors I just moved to NY in July so this was the first thing that popped into my head when I thought of the Illustration Friday theme, visitors. That feeling that you are in someone elses house. Once you unload the boxes and make that call to your mom though, you're home.

All good things

This day is going so well that I might be in for a whole week of good, maybe even a whole month, kick started by today's good vibes. These are the good things that have happened to me so far today:

1. I got to sleep in...Daddy-o got up with the sweet boy at 6:45, yikes!
2. We got fast food for breakfast (my vice, soda and junk food.  Yes, I know it's not good for me, but this is why I run :) ).
3. I went to the beach for the first time here in NY and found many interesting rock, shells and sea creatures.
4. Went to the local seafood store we found and got some treats for dinner tonight...and a few barley pops too.
5. Talked to my parents who are nice.
6. It's super sunny.
7. I have had time to draw.
8. I am not tired.
9. <>I got this cool award from teeni.

 

I hope all of you are having a good day too.

Zine #3 is on the way!

Issue #3 of Temporal Millionaire is in the process of being assembled finally. It took me a while to get settled here in NY and find some cheap copies (6 cents each versus the 4 cents I was paying in FL...bummer), but we're rolling now. I'll will be cutting and pasting together bits of my art journal for you over the next week or two. It's always an enjoyable process that I rarely have enough time for, so it will be the priority for now. Issues #1 and #2 are out and you can buy them through one of my distributors or right from me.

Eli officially becomes a city boy

The visitors have left and we are getting back to business around my place, this included some morning Wiffle Ball with the little guy. Sadly, after a good hit the ball went into the street and despite my run at full speed it went down the sewer drain. The boy cried as I tried to explain to him that I couldn't get it out. Oh, such sadness. I have lost many a wiffle ball in my time, but mostly into big fields of weeds in the area I grew up. The sewer thing is new to me, but even more sad because you can't even look around for the ball...it's just gone. I caught myself just looking down the drain even though I knew I couldn't get it. Don't worry the story ends with a smile...we went out on the town and got a new Wiffle Ball for the boy and a Big Gulp for me. Ahhh, happy times...
