( Read On )

First off, many thanks for the replies on my previous post. I probably should say more, but right now, words are a ship that passes very distantly in the night and my emotions are a bit on the shredded side. Hopefully, it suffices to say that I do appreciate and am very grateful for the kind comments and support.

Meanwhile, having been in dire need of distractions and being without much in the way of verbal skills, I've been working on some avatars, building up a group to post at some point soon.

And while working on the avatars, I went a little hog wild with one and it turned into an art piece. Shocker, I know. It's not quite my usual, slightly larger than a life-size map of Texas, but still pretty good sized. I also tweaked the Afterworld poster and added a tagline that's been roaming randomly around in my skull of late.

Meanwhile, I apologize to the vast, vast majority of folks who'll read this for the firmness of the request below, but apparently some people like to just lay claim to work they didn't do, so sometimes you've gotta get a bit pointed. To all the honest folks, please feel free to make your own walls, but please hold off on the avatars. I'll be posting a batch of stuff sized for that use very soon, and those look better anyway.

Meanwhile, since I've apparently been a bit too subtle in the past. Posting links is fine,  as are making walls for your own use, but...

Well, let's start with the easy stuff:

First off, Oxford Shoes has graciously begun offering her services as a beta for SG1 writers. She very sweetly asked if she could use a small version of one of my pieces, "A Little Comfort" and I said yes. She hasn't betaed for me, but she seems like a smart cookie, so if you're a writer looking for help, I suggest you might want to check her out. http://oxfordshoes2.livejournal.com/11302.html

Next, I'm still working on coming up with a stack of Otalia avatars. I know I mentioned to some folks that they would go up rather sooner than has worked out, but real life and all that. However, despite what it may seem, I'm just running late (a perpetual state for me, it's been suggested), and have not reneged on my intentions.

Speaking of intentions, I swear Bits and Pieces is not dead in the water in favor of Otalia. In fact, I've actually got quite a bit to go through and edit. It's just editing's been very slow of late as I've been, to put it politely, distracted, and editing is slow for me at the best of times. However, I promise, it's still under way.

Some have asked, and yes, I am playing with an Afterworld story, likewise, it's going slowly....very slowly.

I now not only have a Twitter account, I actually say something on a reasonably regular basis (unlike the utter silence that came before). Come say hi sometime. http://twitter.com/pinkrabbitpro

Hard things discussed behind the cut. Me, I'd skip it I were you as it was mostly written for the writer's sake, not the readers.

Okay, so I've given in to the video bug a bit and edited together a video of my artwork, including never before seen works and even a few tiny bits of animation.

As it is all original artwork, please, no taking footage for use in your own videos without my express written permission.

DAx has been a total sweetheart and put together a video of my artwork available over on YouTube.  Follow the link below to take a look.

Hi all,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone who stopped by or wrote and offered words of kindness and support. It's much appreciated. Things are kind of hard right now, and sometimes I start feeling a little like my poor icon up there, so thank you. Really, in a lot of ways, that's all there is to say.

And now, back to playing phone tag.

Author's Note: Many apologies for how long it's taken me to get this posted. Real life's just been a little...challenging lately. However, the good news is the next part is within a paragraph or so of finished (well, hopefully it's good news), and it's a good bit longer and more fun. It should go up in the next couple of days.

( Onward and Ficward... )

First off, let me thank the various folks who posted supportive comments to last night's frustrations over the apparent belief that my artwork is public domain and open for being used in any fashion desired without permission and no credit given. It's an annoying situation for several of the graphic artists, and we're still trying to figure out what to do about it. Meanwhile, sorry I'm not replying individually, but kinda just at my limit right now and in the strange place of both being overwhelmed with things to do and needing distractions when it quiets down. Hence fandom, fanfic, and the fanart. It's my escape...one of the reasons I suppose I resent turbulence on that front. However, I didn't want anyone to think they weren't appreciated or were being ignored. Things are just a bit difficult today.
( Venture on only if you're interested in my personal life or enjoy the dark and depressing. )

Y'know, it's really sad that people who would probably never just take a writer's work, strip their name off and repost it or use it in their own work, will cheerfully do exactly that to an artist. Don't ask permission and just crop off my sig and url and go. The utter and complete lack of respect is frankly, rather disheartening.

Well, the Pink Rabbit Consortium is updated. I added Phox's two stories, There Is No Us and Critical Mass, plus added some new site graphics (really needed to ditch some old couples and add some new), and split off a separate Stargate Archive.

I think I got it debugged, but if anyone finds any problems, please do let me know.

Meanwhile, since some have asked, I promise, I'm working on Life and Breath. It's just been a bad couple of weeks on the personal front in connection with dad's health problems and assorted family stuff...oh, and the frakking stomach flu the last few days.

That's about it. Probably going to post a final version of the Afterworld poster in the next few days, along with final versions of a couple of other Otalia pieces that I've been posting along the way, and maybe a new sketch.

Okay, so my current obsessional art piece is nearly finished as I dug in and did the necessary clean up so that it actually looks good in the large version as well as the small one (now to go back and do that with the last couple of Otalia pieces, so they're well and truly finished), plus added a bunch of tiny details and mocked up some parody film credits (they entertain me if no one else)...hehe.

Only one thing could still use some improvement. Graffiti! I need more and frankly, I'm not good at short, clever, snarky, yet nihilistic things to say. Please do feel free to make suggestions.

And since I've apparently been a bit too subtle in the past. Posting links is fine,  as are making walls for your own use, but...

Yes, I have officially lost my mind. Thank you for asking. Having opted to play with an AU Otalia story set in a post apoc universe I once did a series treatment on, I decided to do a movie poster for it...and it kinda grew like Topsy. It's still rough when you zoom in, but zoomed out, looking pretty good. The graphic below links to a larger version on my website (and there's a link to a full sized version there), where there are more notes for any poor soul who's interested.

Well, between filling out insurance forms (we're onto the claims for personal items in the process of dealing with the fire) and assorted other insanity, I've been working on a couple of paintings. This one isn't finished yet (look at the full sized version and you'll see why...eeks...very rough in places), but some friends have been asking so I thought I'd go ahead and post a version. Just follow the link below. Hope y'all enjoy.
