Hello, My Lovelies! This is my first Saturday Tea Party. I am sitting here drinking Mocha coffee and thinking that is a funny thing for a tea party…maybe I will make some green tea next just to feel less strange about it.
I will be releasing the Next Pip book (Pip and Friends) in April on the 29th.
Serena’s Poetry volume – Death Becomes Her – will release on June 1st.
My next poetry volume (Gathering Teardrops) is probably going to release in May but until I am certain it will be done I have been reluctant to set the release date.
Fae Corps has been putting the release dates and submission deadlines on google calendar. This is public and allows the readers to know when things are scheduled.
I am working on getting art I have done inked and layout done for a coloring book from my art. It will be titled Color My Art.
This is the upcoming announcements for the next year…subject to updates of course 😉
I am still trying to get back into the habit of updating the blog. I may still miss here and there. I will do my best not to though.
This is the first thing that I ever learned how to draw. It is a pup. My mom showed me how to draw this when I was a little girl. I never believed that I could draw because this was the only thing I knew how to draw, then my daughter was born. She had an interest and a talent for art, so I drew with her. It gave me the confidence to try again.
Confidence is a lot of art. Art without confidence is self-torture. I have found with art that practice helps. I have been improving as I continue to practice. I have very little of what I think of as talent, Instead, I think of my art as a skill. Because without practice I would not have gotten to the point I have reached. What do you create? What is your art? This can be multiple things.
It is updated usually once a week (Everyone has bad weeks…) I am still working on catching up on this one (I sort of got too caught up in life to keep up with my comics so I have to catch up on most of the ones I follow)
This Comic has a rich and well-written history. The art has been improving since it was started, but it has a softer edge to it, making it feel more like the person drawing it is not focusing completely on perfection instead focusing on the story. I like that if I am honest. Thought has obviously gone into the characters.
I think it is a fun comic. there is a lot of archives, but the comic is a fairly easy to read one so getting caught up should not take a huge amount of time.
I gotta know that your heart beats fast and I gotta know I’m the only one for you What have I become? I’m a fucking monster When all I wanted was something beautiful My love too much Your love not enough My love too much Your love Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side Oh, well it aches and it aches You make me wanna die I gotta kill you my love I gotta kill you my love Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side You said forever, now you look right through me You said forever, did your words fall short like you? What have I done? I’m a fucking monster When all I wanted was something beautiful My love too much Your love not enough My love too much Your love Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side Oh, well it aches and it aches You make me wanna die I gotta kill you my love I gotta kill you my love Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side My love too much Your love not enough My love too much Your love
My 2 Cents- There is a lot of things that can make someone feel like they are to blame for relationship failings. This song makes me feel like I am not alone. I have been dealing with personality changes in the man I love due to brain abnormalities…and It makes me feel like a monster that sometimes I don’t love the person he has become. Sometimes when life changes those we love sitting there wondering if we can handle it is normal, even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Okay, I have been sharing my art on Wednesday and making it wordless… But Words are what I do best. It had been bothering me. I do art in so many different mediums. I actually enjoy talking about it. I don’t plan to share art every week. Some weeks I just want to discuss technique and such. Or share links to art that I found online and love. This gives me a platform that I am not wordless. I have lost my voice in the past and with it my power. I hate being powerless. Art is not about being powerless. Art is an expression of self. There is no greater power than being yourself. So, Let’s learn about art and share the journey of the artist together. Join me and share who you are as well.
I decided that I needed to change things a little. I am growing complacent on my blog, and that makes it no fun for me. I will start doing Webcomic Wednesday every week and take Thursday to talk about art/Share art (Artsy Fartsy Thursday). I will move my occasional Tea Party posts to Saturday.
Now I have at one point or another had over a hundred webcomics I followed. The update schedule varies between daily to whenever the artist remembers…I still have links to several comics that have ended because I enjoyed them so much. (I.E. https://www.girlswithslingshots.com & http://yume.rosalarian.com/archive/ ) I cried when they ended. And I have fallen behind periodically in my reading of the updates, only to revisit and start the arduous process of getting caught up all over again. I love the idea that the comics are waiting for me when I am able to come back to them.
Today I want to introduce you to one that has evolved quite well into one of my faves. https://www.goblinscomic.com is a really cute comic based on the idea of the monsters in an RPG and their ability to become PCs. The humor is on target, and the art is fun. Rich characters that are fun to read.
