Lately I've been drawing exclusively for projects so I took a break today to sketch something unrelated and fun. #2 pencil on computer paper
Works in Progress
Please allow me to introduce two of my babies: Villainy Genre: Science Fiction, Novel A Tidbit: Despite being a much-loved symbol of hope, Captain Hiroh Finner feels only murderous intent which is reserved entirely for a certain master of terror. He has hunted this man across galaxies for fifteen years. A brilliant, evil and nonsensical villain who … Continue reading Works in Progress
Wizards & Track Meets
"The Road So Far..." Starting in Fairbanks, AK, we'd blazed through the bear-infested Yukon and scenic British Columbia to pit-stop in Bellingham, WA, after which we tore east until the transmission went out in Wall, SD. Alaska to Florida Adventure: Days 10.5 - 14 The tow truck dropped us and our crippled chariot off at the … Continue reading Wizards & Track Meets
Storytelling Diversified
Tomorrow I'm giving a presentation titled Collagen Biosynthesis Disorders: the Biomedical Impact of Abnormal Protein Coding to a room of masters and doctorate candidate students. I like to find common threads in things I must do (presentations) with things I love (writing/acting, basically storytelling). In doing so, practicing one becomes like practicing aspects of the other and, if I can equate … Continue reading Storytelling Diversified
The Wall
Alaska to Florida Adventure: Days 7 - 10.5 Megan and I kicked off the USA leg of our trek by way of I-5 south to US-2 (to avoid Seattle traffic mayhem) from which we jumped onto I-90 around Spokane and headed east. Summer storms were making a racket in the Midwest and down South so we agreed … Continue reading The Wall
Book Nerds Unite
My brother and I are book nerds. Shamelessly. We finish 1 book and we add 15 to our lists. Normal people look at 15 books and think "ugh, why so many;" we see 15 and think "sweet, I'm good for four months." (Come now, fellow nerds, you know you do it.) For pleasure reading, I prefer classics … Continue reading Book Nerds Unite
The Green Queen
Alaska to Florida Adventure: Days 5 & 6 The historic area on the other side of the Canadian-US border opened up to a impeccably flat farming landscape (easily the greenest place I'd ever seen). Megan called her relatives and after getting turned around (and greeting a bunch of cows His Highness mistook for giant dogs that … Continue reading The Green Queen
My Art Style’s Evolution
When I was a little girl, I drew exclusively with #2 pencil on notebook or computer paper. I had zero art software. My family had been slow on the computer acquisition thing (we used a typewriter through middle school, 1998-2000) and there were a lot of us kids so, once we bought a computer, we couldn't use … Continue reading My Art Style’s Evolution
Our Itty Bitty Logbook
Megan and I used a tiny blue notebook to keep track of times we saw animals and reached places between Fairbanks, AK, and Bellingham, WA. We didn't have a plan about what we wanted to record, we just wrote down stuff as it happened. Looking at the little book after a year, we laughed. We could see the steady drop in our sanity, focus and willingness … Continue reading Our Itty Bitty Logbook
The Swedish Bakery & Some Luxurious Bees
Alaska to Florida Adventure: Days 3 & 4 If you've been following along, you know my best friend and I magically made it from Fairbanks, AK, to British Columbia without any major mishaps. The weather was still gorgeous, His Highness hadn't escaped to play with nature, the car worked and we had plenty of sustenance (our stash: … Continue reading The Swedish Bakery & Some Luxurious Bees
