Because of a nasty-assed cold and degrees in the single digits, for two days now I've gotten nothing done besides make dots while under a warm afghan, a heated blanket and propped up by pillows, like a poverty-stricken Olivia DeHavilland. No phone calls, no return emails, no LJ responses, no party favors, no post office runs.

Aaaaaand, I got stiffed by that jackhole in Chicago on "Stipple Mary". Last time for a commission with no down-payment. If you're interested, email me at illustrationink@hotmail.com and we'll talk. She's big (20x15") and she's going to be colored in charcoal, blue robes, golden clouds, auburn hair. She's probably the best figure I've ever done.
Snotty kisses for a wonderful new year, everybody.

Oct. 21st, 2007 05:48 pmHave to share this now, even though I'm really close to being done (maybe 10 more hours), because I'm SO EXCITED about how it's turning out. It looks like an old tinted dagguerotype. I'll probably have the final up tomorrow.

I still need to figure out some perspective weirdness between the tiles and the fountain bed, but all in all, I'm pretty happy with it. About 175 hours into it, another 100 to go.
CRAZY GOOD SALE at Illustration Ink, plus new content on the home page.
**EDIT TO ADD**: ...aaaaand the PayPal site is down, so I can't make my buttons consistent. Mother douchebags.
