A Fly By

Okay I'm going to have to make this quick.

I've been away too long again, I know. But I think I got my art mojo back.
I sort of HAD TO, since I had a deadline for this project... a "fatbook"... that I signed up for with the chix of Dorm 202 (wooooo!) from Artfest.

Here are my pages...
I did this painting on a 10x10 canvas and then realized I didn't know how to do the math to shrink it down for 4x4 copies. The Kinkos people wouldn't even make eye contact, but eventually I figured it out without them. Bastards.

I didn't take a photo of the finished canvas but I will. Promise.

Another reason for me to dust the cobwebs off of my art supplies is that Art Unraveled is fast approaching and I have some pre-homework to do for one of my classes.

At the moment I'm in San Diego. Me and KF came down for the "Nerd Prom" (tm Tigerpants) which, for those of you who aren't giant dorks, is another name for Comic Con. The largest geekfest known to man.

We arrived today and traffic was a mess so we were too late to wander around very much, but even so I saw two Ghostbusters, a Han Solo, a few gunshot victims, a vampire bite victim, several sexy vampires, lots of goth girls, a girl with a big, furry chewbacca backback hanging off of her and of course the obligatory Princess Leia in a gold bikini. Tomorrow I will be back in the mix, this time with a camera... because what I have just listed here only scratches the surface of what I saw today.

It's going to be a lot of fun, but very hectic as there are at least 100,000 people here PER DAY. It's also going to be a little sad because there's someone who should be here but isn't. I recently lost a very close friend, and fellow nerd. It was sudden. It was a freak accident. A pointless, reasonless loss, but I don't really want to talk about it here. He used to post comments here under the name "Gonzo" because of Hunter S. Thompson. Long story. Anyway, he shouldn't be missing this. But I like to think we're carrying him around with us in our hearts. (Okay that was kind of cheesy. He wouldn't approve.)

Anyway, it's late and I need to get a good night's sleep to be able to fight the crowds off with my blow up light saber tomorrow. (I'm not really buying a blow up light saber... but KF might.)
