Yep, I went and bought myself a Mac. I'm still in the process of getting all of my files transferred over, and since my old computer is a POS, it's taking a lot more time and creativity than I originally planned.
So, the artwork is on a short hiatus while I get this figured out. Also, the program I use to make my website isn't Mac compatible, so I haveta find something else that will work. (and is also free) Wish me luck ...

Rupert
He's a bit early, but I'm excited and want to show him off. Look for him on the cover of the February issue of On The Town Magazine, the Arts and Entertainment Magazine of West Michigan.
Also, I just want to promote Hey It's Free! because I visit the website multiple times a day. I'm such a huge coupon and freebie addict now. Hey, with the economy being so bad, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right? Anyways, the creator of the site, Goob, is giving away a bunch of gift cards and stuff for peeps who post about the site on their blogs. So, here goes my entry!

New Year, New Stuff
Finally got a chance to update my website. I've been diligently working on my Tarot card set; I've been at them for over three years now. I'm amazed, because normally I give up on stuff if it takes me too long. I'm determined to get this project finished; I can't wait to feel that sense of accomplishment when I hold in my hands a printed, shiny deck of cards I created entirely by myself! I'm wondering if anyone would actually be interested in buying a set? Hmm ...
Anyways, a lot of stuff going on for me. Next month (Feb. 2009) my artwork is going to be on the cover of On The Town magazine, the Arts and Entertainment magazine of West Michigan. Basically this is HUGE for me ... my illustration is going to be seen anywhere On The Town is offered!! I was also "interviewed" via email by the assistant editor, Melissa Black, so there's going to be a small editorial about me in the same issue. I can't friggin WAIT until it comes out!!! As soon as they print the magazine, I'm going to post my illustration on my website. I don't want to ruin the surprise! Just to be a tease, I'll tell you the name of it is "Rupert." :) I'm really hoping (and please cross your fingers for me!) that maybe something will happen because of my exposure. A new job, perhaps? Cool new commissions? Only time will tell. It sure would be nice to do art full-time, but I know how unlikely that is so I'm not getting my hopes up TOO high.
I'm also in the midst of doing four more black and white illustrations for the Wizard of Oz RPG. Look for those images soonish.
In other, non-art-related news, Fiona is growing and growing. She likes to squeal loudly, and is learning how to sit up. I've already noticed the beginnings of crawling, so I'm preparing myself for the horrors of a mobile child. ;) Time to start packing up all the valuables and little decorative trinkets I have scattered across my house.
For Christmas I was given *gasp* a PS3 and the new Prince of Persia game from my in-laws. (I'm so spoiled!) I just finished the game a few nights ago; I loved it! The ending, I'll admit, pissed me off at first. Now I have to wait forever for the sequel... anyways, I really like the new Prince. I didn't think Ubisoft could top the Sands of Time Prince, but they did. (They certainly ruined him with Warrior Within, as far as I'm concerned ...) My favorite, however, was Elika. She's awesome, and not your regular damsel-in-distress type character video games tend to make of the female leads. I really enjoy how she's the one saving the Prince's ass all the time. I'm about to take a break from Tarot card drawings to work on a Prince of Persia fan-art illustration that I get excited just thinking about!

A couple new Tarot cards
Almost done with commissions! I even had some time to get a few Tarot cards scanned that I was able to finish during the usual slow Sunday at work.

Christmas Commissions Galore!
I THINK I'm done with them all for the time being. I can take a breath, finally! And maybe get back to doing my own work ...
Check out the three Christmas cards I cranked out the past few weeks.
For my Mom, who takes precedence over all, naturally. This is her Samoyed Blizzard, otherwise known as Blizzolf the red-nosed reindog.
For my great-aunt Diana, this is the card that took me the longest and was the most-involved. Seventeen people are on this card!
And finally, my own card. I had to sneak this in really quick, so that's why Rory looks rather ... wonky. :(

Living in History
How exciting! I can tell Fiona that she was there with me when I voted for the first black president of the US. I put my "I voted" sticker in her baby book. :) I know change won't happen over night, but I'm very hopeful for how things are going to be the next four years. God knows this country needs something different! I really like Michelle Obama; she's intelligent and very well-spoken, and the fact that she is a mother, college-educated, and has a young family really appeals to me. (MUCH more than Sarah Palin, that's for sure!)
I forgot to mention Halloween in my last post, so here's a picture of me dressed as a Native American, She-Who-Harvests-Peas. You'll see why I was given that name. :)
