Sorry about the lack of update last week, Monday was spent mostly driving back from Tampa, and once home, dealing with home maintenance irritations like the A/C and a leaky dishwasher. Oi. If South Florida actually HAD an autumn, the A/C wouldn't have been such a big deal, but as it was 90+* inside the house... that definitely needed to be taken care of!
Can you believe this is the last post for October already?! We're almost at the end of the year! O.o
Weekly Words
Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
- Henry David Thoreau, 1817 - 1862
Current Project
Well, as I mentioned earlier, last weekend was spent in Tampa, FL at Necronomicon with author and long-time soul-sister, MCA Hogarth. Necro is more of a social con for me, as it is *very* small and *very* quiet. I spent 4 lovely days with MCA Hogarth and her family, along with other very good friends I don't get to see often.
I did a few Inktober pieces over the weekend, and, unfortunately, I haven't done any since! >.<

* TOP LEFT: Inktober 18 = A little coffee dragon warming in the cup. As you can see, he is not a fan of decaf! :)
TOP CENTER: Inktober 19 = Skull island! I had originally planned to put a ghostly pirate ship on the horizon, but I neglected to pencil it in, so once I started laying down the inks, I ended up forgetting all about it! Oops! (Although, it's certainly not too late to put it in in white pencil.... )
TOP RIGHT: Inktober 21 = DRÜL!! *hee* I started doodling him at the table during Necro, but had no clear plan. I ended up finishing up while MCA Hogarth and I enjoyed a leisurely Monday afternoon art session at a local cafe before I left Tampa on Monday. He was supposed to be for Inktober, but I got a little carried away. I'm definitely going to have to do something with him! :)
Near Future
That's it! I am officially DONE with convention appearances for 2013!
From here until January 1, 2014, the Near Future will consist of completing the November and December Monthly Postcard originals, the 2013 Holiday Card, and a few random new, original pieces. I may be opening up a few commission slots, so if you're interested, please keep watching this space. (IF you are interested in commissions, please feel free to let me know what type of project you have in mind... I've gotten some kraft brown cover Moleskine notebooks lying around that I will probably offer before the end of the year.)
Be on the lookout for the upcoming Holiday Card Request post, that should go up around next week's State of the Artist post, too!
Well, I think that's all for this week's State of the Artist update here on Planet Kit.
I thank you for joining me again this week! Feedback is the food which fuels the creative discussion between Artist and Audience, please, feel free to comment or leave suggestions for new projects!
Feel free to post links to this journal/community if you feel there might be interest in my artwork!
