Magazines

I don't know if I've ever mentioned that I live in a pretty small community in Michigan, certainly a limited amount of serious artists around town. So finding magazines like ImagineFX, HOW and PRINT to purchase are not so simple to locate and very expensive to order. I thought I'd take advantage of my local library and see if they could possible order any of them for me. It turns out HOW is completely available online through the Michigan E Library. This is a money saver for a beginning designer! Of course career mag subscriptions are a tax write off, so it might be wise to invest in one or two.

Flying Fish!

It's been far too long since I've checked in with my readers.

Family life has been taking over a lot lately. My little sister recently announced she's pregnant with her third little boy. As I speak her other two are playing in their play room at my place. I spend a lot of time watching the boys for her while she's at work. Accordingly, my older sister and I are renovating a small bedroom into the kids room. It has unfortunate wood paneling wainscoting but we've used that to set the theme. Nautical!

There are fish lights flying above, an old puppet theatre with labels for "Brig" "Captains Quarters" "Mess Hall", a mural of the sun sky and some waves, nets for toys, and soon to be a usable captains wheel mounted on the wall. Expect pictures as soon as it's finished!

I've been keeping myself going with some fanart for Pitch Black and Infamous. Just some fun doodles while I work up my submissions postcards. I'm going to be sending out a round of postcards to magazines and publishers. I've got to get back to the grindstone!
