Good Printer Gone Bad

So, I have a good convention, come home, print one picture just fine and when I try to print a second picture the stupid machine stops working! :( It would cost over $1000 to get a new one and I can NOT afford that even remotely! So now I am without a printer!

New Boy in a Tree

My little Trevi seems to like the out doors and I got some good pictures of him playing in a tree. And I am normally a VERY bad photographer. So here in my little BJD Trevi in a tree. I will have to paint him sometime for sure!

Balticon 46 is Over

I was worried a month ago that I would have no new art for Balticon and that would be bad since it is my best selling con for the past 6 years and new art was very important. Well, my muse went from sleeping or sluggish, to being on speed! I think I counted 11 pictures done in the past 3 weeks. I was more  concerned after having the new art with sales at my Artists Alley table. Those sales went very slow and were not near as good as last year. BUT, this was my best Balticon Art Show ever! I sold 9 pictures, had 2 in the auction (both bid up from the final bid and one being my highest selling picture in an art show ever!) So, now I just hope my muse will keep working and I can get commissions that have been waiting done!

Another Bone to Pick

I have no idea what the Bone Key and this new picture are part of, but they are clearly related. They are artifacts of some sort...I suspect there will be more that pop up. "The Bone Cup", 4 x 9 5/8, Acrylic on Canson board. Original and prints for sale. Picture 30.

New Need Better Name

It is a bad photo but good enough to post for now. This is 16 x 16 (the black around it is just fill not part of the actual picture). It is a pain to paint mountains like this but also fun. For now I am calling this "Dragon Airship" but I would realy like a better name. Done in Acrylic and a tiny bit of watercolor colored pencil on Canson board. Original SOLD, prints for sale (once I get better pictures to make prints from). Picture 29.
This ended up with the name "The Mountain Pass" and it sold at Balticon.

BJDs

Since I have not posted anything in a few days (new art is coming) I decided to post a new picture of my BJDs (Ball Jointed Dolls). The new little one who I adore, now has hair but not the hair I wanted. I wanted a white blond wig for him but they were out of that one so I got the brown one. So here is a bad picture (cause I can not take decent pictures of these guys it seems) of Trevi (the little one) and Ian.
