Halloween/Dia de los Muertos Contest 2009

I don’t know if you know this about me, but I have a really hard time letting go of my artwork. Even when I hate it, I don’t like to sell it or give it away. In an ongoing exercise in “letting go”, I’m having another Halloween/Dia de los Muertos Blog Contest this year.

Like last year, all you have to do is tell me which movie the following quote comes from by either emailing me, @/DM me on Twitter (you can find my feed on the sidebar if you’re not already following me), or leaving a comment here. The contest will run for two (2) weeks to cover both Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. At the end of those two (2) weeks, I’ll randomly choose two (2) winners from the correct responses. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey! Here’s the quote:

“Kick him in the nards, kick him in the nards!”
“He doesn’t have nards!”
“Just DO IT!
(*kick*)
“Wolfman has nards!”

Here are the prizes:
The Mystery of the Betrayal
The Mystery of the Betrayal

Fall Asleep and Stay Asleep
Fall Asleep and Stay Asleep

Imagine that! The last two paintings I finished that I said I was going to give away in my last post! I’m so impulsive and unpredictable! These are smaller pieces (8×10 inches, 10×8 inches respectively), both done in acrylics, Sharpie paint pen, brush pen, and Copic/Prismacolor markers on canvas. You guys have two (2) weeks from today – Good luck!

Quick Announcement

My first commissioned pendant!

Okay. This month is going to be sparse around here (with the exception of backlogged Supernatural reviews, and reviews for Fandomania) for a few reasons.

1. I’m attempting NaNoWriMo. I might have already mentioned this. I’m already WAY behind – on the first fucking week, too – but I’m determined to get at least 10k written this month on a story. I always give up in the first chapter, so now that I’ve made it to the second chapter I’m feeling pretty good about my goal. Of course, I made chapter one *really* short, but I’m not above cheating at this point.

2. The mystery pain in my hands is back. Tenfold. The week before Thanksgiving, I’m going in to get another round of injections for BOTH hands this time. I’m pretty sure that entire weekend, I’ll be without the use of my hands. The doctors have no idea what is causing the pain, and them admitting that is plus and minus. Plus in that, I appreciate them just being honest with me. Minus in that, my GP seems to have no interest in finding out WHY I’m in increasing pain or WHAT might be causing it. She just shoved me back off onto the hand doctor (who is really nice and awesome about all this) and even suggested Carpal Tunnel surgery even though the specialist already determined it wasn’t Carpal Tunnel.

3. And this is really the biggest reason (my priorities are so backwards) – I sent in my application for SCAD yesterday afternoon and I’m meeting with the Denver rep for the school next month to go over my portfolio. So I’m going to be insanely, stupidly nervous about this whole thing until I’m either accepted or rejected. I still can’t believe I went ahead and applied. I’d been putting off applying to schools for transfer all year for one reason or another (mostly having to do with my job), but … fuck it, I said to myself, and submitted the application.

Don’t forget to enter the contest if you haven’t already! The deadline is 9pm GMT next Tuesday!

Happy Halloween!



Eddie Riggs Pumpkin, originally uploaded by to paraphrase.

I came home from work on Tuesday, and my brother tells me I need to carve an Eddie Riggs pumpkin for some gaming website contest (the prize was a stash of video games).

Unfortunately, I misunderstood when the due date to have your pics submitted was and didn’t get in on the contest. Which is okay; I don’t really like how this came out.

I painted it with black gesso for a more “metal” look. \m/

Don’t forget to enter my annual Halloween/Dia de los Muertos Contest if you haven’t already!

Comic Review: Northlanders Vol. 1: Sven the Returned

sven-the-returned2

“I love this trade. I’ve worn this trade out. Every time I go to my local comic store and don’t find Vol. 2 there (because it just came out in August — this trade came out last October), I want to sack the store, burn the building down, and run away laughing maniacally with my inflatable sword held high. Vikings rule.” – http://ping.fm/yDv4b

Recap: Castle 2.05 – When the Bough Breaks

“This case actually had me guessing for a minute, and the show suddenly was interesting as a complete show that had me hooked (until the very last part that kind of killed it).” – http://ping.fm/zXR15

Recap: Castle 2.04 – Fool Me Once

castle-204-35

“I think if there were a scene that called for Castle to be reading the New York Times on the crapper for an hour, Nathan Fillion would somehow make it witty, charming, and entertaining to watch.” – http://ping.fm/jUa8g
