My Boy and His Boy

I can't explain how glad I am to know my son is happy and well. His son is so cute and Joe looks so happy with him, I know he will be a great dad! Here is another picture of Joe and Logan.

Good Con and Good News

Darkover Con, which I have attended for over 20 years has not been very good sales wise in the past several years. This year I did fairly well in the art show, sold several books and calendars as well. This was the best Darkover sales I have had in many years!

The other good news is my son, who has been unreachable for the past 7 years has surfaced! He contacted his mother (has not contacted us yet) but knowing he is alive and well is great! I also am now a grandfather! He has a 6 month old son named Logan!
I just hope someday I get to meet him and that Joe lets us back in his life!

Anne McCaffrey has died! She was one of my favorite authors and one of the few who created gay characters as just normal people in her world. I was part of the Dragonriders of Pern Fan club Fort Weyr. Here is one of the pictures I did way back when of my character from Fort, T'ran and his green dragon, Ananth! "Bad Timing", 8 1/2 x 11, marker on art paper. Prints available.

Round Wood Muse Treat

While I have lots I should be doing, I can't seem to get any of them to work right now. So, I had an idea for badges painted on wooden rounds. And since Anbessa has commissioned me twice and I enjoyed doing the work for him, I thought I would do this as a gift for him. "Anbessa badge", acrylic on a 3 inch wooden round. If you like the idea and want one, they are $20. (The person I did this for requested I change the lion mane to black, so here is the new version as well). Picture 50.

Dark Muse Treat

This is what some on FurAffinity call "personal art", basically something done for themselves and not as a commission etc. I loved the images in the movie Pans Labyrinth and until now I had not tried to do anything based on them. This is based on a photo of Pan from the movie and was pretty quick to do and fun.
"Pan in Shadow", 7 1/2 x 11, white Prisma Color and Acrylic on black board. Original and prints for sale. Picture 49.
