Ranting and Book Launch!!!

Ever get caught up in a book and even though it is a bland and has no plot you cant stop reading it hoping that there is some ray of hope that it will get better? I just spent a bout a week reading two books, 50 Shades of Gray and 50 Shades Darker. I wanted to read it as every one was talking about, mommy pron and the best book of it's kind yada yada yada. So I got my hands on the ebooks from some one and I am so glad I didn't buy it.

First all plot! Hello! it is the fundamental of all books! you need a story, yes, there is sex and lots of it some good, some boring cause that's all they do. I agree that it is a D&S book to a point but as many people have not realized but problems don't just vanish or are solved in less then a month ( yes that is the most the two main characters have been together from first sight to nearly all problems solved). The pacing of the book is slow, there is no conflict.. the main girl agrees to anything the man wants with out really thinking, even though she is so post to be smart.. she sure doesn't use her brain. The build up of any form of antagonist would have been great having an antagonist at all would be good. There is no internal conflict not even really internal, no big plot no big bad guy nothing. It pained me to think this was so post to be some great books. Ya right. maybe I should publish my own stories all I need is a great editor as I'm horrible at grammar and spelling.

I feel like I wasted my small break from quitting my job to start job hunting but in the end it is my own fault for never being able to not finish a book. Well enough with the ranting at utter nonsense that I am writing now. I'm quite sure after I post this I will go back and read this and think what the hell was I trying to say?

Back to this weekend I had a blast at SFU summer fest! Lots of new drawing in my sketch book but I want to finish some up before posting and showing my new doodles! And don't forget to come Aug 1st to The Cultch for our book launch it is from 6-8pm and the rest of the time we will have a gallery of comic pages for sale and books of other artist! Please come it will be awesome!

I want one....

Time flies when you are having fun, or in my case debunking from one job before hunting for the next. I feel shamed that I didn't post yet but free of the technology that I took a small break from, no emails no internet just me and my home and Assassins Creed. Ok not all technology but most of it. Still feeling a little run down but here this little guy I drew is helping cheer me up! I want to ride one but not too sure it is smart enough to know it's up from down.

Tomorrow is the free summer festival at SFU Barnaby and I will be there hopefully the weather holds up and it will be awesome. Come check us out!

Monster...

I wasn't too sure what kind of monster I could do for the cloudscape monster challenge, the word was Calillux. I had in mind some thing more well menacing then this dopey looking thing but when the dead line came up I was a bit frantic to get something in, more for my self to meet the deadlines then anything else. So if you like him or love monster check it out and vote!

If you haven't voted then go vote! I think Babithy is still up! http://www.cloudscapecomics.com/

PaperPlums

Fire Agate is one of my favourite orange stones. The crackle in the bead catches the light so well, giving it such depth that I end up starring at it for longer then what I should. But this is just the start, I have lots of ideas and can't wait so show them. Etsy is almost up and running just need to tweak a few things, hopefully by next week.


This pair are made with Fire Agate beads, surgical steel hooks and chiyogami paper.
They are $15 + Shipping if you want a pair of these give me a shout!

Babithy

I was going to post this tomorrow but I thought I might as well put it up today. This is my submission for Babithy, the monster challenge for Cloudscape. I could only think of an old lady for this one, chicken hands and a long neck. She really has no purpose or special skill that I can think of but hey I wouldn't want to run across her either.

Selkies and Giants

I'm so excited to announce that Giants of Main Street is available and you can by it though us! We will have it with us at SFU Summer Festival the 21st and at Cos & Effects aug 24-26th this year!

Giants is $15.00 with out shipping, if you want it shipped to you just give us a shout and we can a range something.

This little Selkie is an idea for a short story that I am working on, I don't have a solid idea on the character design yet so we will probably see lots of her in the next little while.
