Most of this week I have spent without KT (she flew on to Denver for a theater conference) so I have had the place all to myself. I took the opportunity to rearrange the studio in her absence. I got rid of the large easel (seeing as the tabletop one I have has effectively replaced it) and bought a spiffy new Samsung monitor as the centerpiece of a new computer workstation. I have been struggling with integrating my design methods with my painting methods...this redo of the studio goes a long way towards achieving that goal. (this last paragraph is a bit of a long winded apology for why I don't have any new work to show for the week...)
This week saw a good review for Debbie, as well as the below photo in the Express...
I also have been asked by Lil' Dutch to paint a backdrop for the Evil Come Evil Go Go Show, which opens next Friday...I am working hard to make that happen, but I might be shooting for the August 9th show, if I cant get good designs together by, oh, say, MONDAY!
And Finally, Art-o-Matic comes to a close this week...there is still time to purchase the 8 foot Venus from Yuri's Night...(Free local delivery!) See you all on Saturday and Sunday night as we put Art-o-Matic 2008 into the history books!

Congrats on your success at Artomatic. Here is my sad little post about the two pieces of yours I would have bought had they not been sold already, and what I liked about each of them: http://selki.livejournal.com/127791.html
A lesson to me to go earlier to Artomatic next year!
Have you considered showing art at science fiction conventions? Balticon (May, Baltimore) and Philcon (Nov/Dec, Philadelphia) have big art shows as well as writer/tv/movie-oriented events. A friend of mine ponied up $450 for one piece at Balticon just past, and some (by very big-name sf artists) sell in the thousands. I think some of your pieces would do well there.
Selki,
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you liked the "Moai in the next ice age" painting...with everyone so concerned about global warming, I think its good to remember that we WILL have another ice age...and those easter island heads arent going anywhere anytime soon...
I have considered showing at SciFi conventions...however the closest I have come is hosting Yuri's Night. Perhaps I can still make it to Philcon this year and do some recruiting for Yuri's Night 2009!
thanks again,
Jared
