I have had the most lovely month off from zee blog. It has just been a frickin’ lovely summer. I have been preparing for a couple of art shows. Ignoring the computer as much as possible. Now I am back on “the internets”. . .a bazillion bloggies to visit. Fall just around the corner. Halo 3 on the way. . . 
It just does not get better. 
After seeing the illio friday topic Visitors it just seemed like a good idea to just take a day, sit down and do a piece. I dig this girl anyway. I used her on this light box and have always wanted to extract her from that old cabinet card. It could still use some work but I am really liking the direction the piece is going. I love the thought of these characters from various fairy-tales living in a perpetual state of wanting to relive their big moment. . .the 15 min of fame – if you will. Always on the lookout for another child to come around and play.

Also – in my time off “In This House” came out. 
Oh I am so happy with it – dang Angela and Sarah did a fantastic job. My work is showcased through Chapter11. My inspiration came from Carmilla, the fantastic short story of a female vampire by J. Sheridan LeFanu. Illustrating the story with old etchings and antique engravings. If you have never read the story – you should it is so fantastic.
You can even download it for free. . although I am not much for reading a whole book on the computer myself. More of a tactile thing reading is – I think.
Oh and speaking of those fabulous gals (Ang and Sarah) they also have a new zine out. It is such a cool format 8.5 x 8.5. I love that size! It came out just so wonderfully. Glossy pages full of fabulous art. I am also honored to be the first artist interview in their new venture. You know, I am so impressed with what I have seen from lulu so far. I also have a friend who used them to put out her own book. Anyway, for anyone looking for a way to self publish something. . scope out lulu.
Well, making this short and sweet. I do have some fun freebies coming soon – just was not ready yet. However, I am back in the swing of things so I will be seeing you very soon. Xo

I adore In This House, when I found it at the Cloth,Paper,Scissors shop at their publishing house I was in awe. The book is a gorgeous treasure, the design, layout and the artists inside are more than inspiring. Your work is so gorgeous, you are very talented. Karen

Oh my goodness! I found you by following the B.W.O. link and am I ever glad I did! Your blog is stunning. I mean the blog itself and then the images… I’m thrilled I’ve found you. I guess it was just a matter of time. I WILL be back to read you and snoop around some.
