Summer's still going....and going....

...and going.

One section of our booth this year at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival

So Sandra and I just got back from setting up at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.  We had a great weekend and enjoyed seeing old friends and a bunch of wonderful fans!  You guys are the best ^.^

I will not be out at MNRF again until the last two weekends, September 22 - 23, and September 28 - 30.  Otherwise our booth lackeys Nate and Jody will be handling things (and handling them well!). 

Next I am off to Denver for the Labor Day show of the Celebration Metaphysical Fair.  I will be there with my lackey/booth-bitch Mare (Sandra will be at home getting some business taken care of).  Please come out and say hello, buy some art and/or a t-shirt, and then go get yourself a psychic reading or a snazzy new crystal ;)

After that, Sandra and I are off Durango, Colorado for the Whole Expo Durango show.  Another metaphysical/holistic healing show! We can't get enough of them...and neither can you!  Please come and say hello and enjoy the grandeur and awesomeness of Durango in the summertime!

Then I am taking a bit of a vacation... <.<  >.>

And finally back to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival again for a couple of weekends to round out the Summer season.  Whew!  But I can't get too comfortable, because I will only have a few short weeks until the back-to-back holiday shows begin in November!

So yes, I am busy, busy, busy!  Go go go!

In the midst of all of this I will try to keep things updated so you have an idea of what's going on with me.  For now, I need to get back to work on making more products for the coming shows!

P.S. Werewolf stickers are being ordered tomorrow!  I will let you all know when I have them in-hand ^.^

Evergreen

This is my contribution to this years Werewolf Calendar:

My assignment was (mainly) to illustrate that werewolves have striking eyes that you may not see on normal wolves. I decided to go for amazing green eyes that reflect the forest around the werewolf, suggesting how close a werewolf would be to his environment. This is his world, and he belongs here. The eyes also let you know that this is not a normal wolf, even if he were in a more wolf-like form. His eyes are otherworldly, preternatural, almost magical.

Orders open September 1st!! First 150 orders receive a free bookmark and sticker!

Summer-a-Go-Go

So pretty much all of my time these last few weeks has been taken up with printing, matting, and framing in an effort to get as much of the stock/product done that we will need for the rest of the summer.  It's been grueling, not only physically tiring but mentally as well.  However I am now as done as I can be, and it is time once again to head north for the opening weekend of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival!  I will be there this coming weekend, and then the last two weekends of the Festival in September.  Sandra and I will be doing a few other shows in between, and I will let you know where we will be. :)

Aside from working like a dog bolf,  I have been working on a few commissions where I can.  Just a few last drawings from the second batch.  I should have those finished sometime this summer when I can take a few hours.  Here's a little something I did for the last Werewolf Wednesday because I needed the mental break.  And what better way to let off some steam than with a nice snarley? :D

He says "See These?  Guess where they're going..."

Anyway, that's all from me right now.  I'm worn out and yet ready to tackle the rest of the busy summer season of go-go-GO!  I will post about my misadventures as they happen :)

Ta for now!

Stickers...

...have not been ordered yet.  I am still waiting to get enough pre-sales to be able to put in the order.  However it should be sooooon!  Once they are ordered I will have what is left over from pre-sales available online and at the Wolfsisters booth and Minnesota Renaissance Festival :)

Spread the word about these werewolf stickers so I can get them ordered!!

Aside from that I have been working like a dog (or is that a bolf?) all month long getting ready for the summer craziness that is already well underway.  I am trying to squeeze in what I can art-wise but I really have no time, and no energy left over from the day, to do much, if anything.  As I say on my website my working/show months are from July - December, and my arting months are from January - June.  So if you are waiting on a commission from me -please- have patience! I will let everyone know when I can be full-steam ahead on the art again.  Until then I am go-go-GO on the shows!

That's all for now.  I promise I will try to put up a post here with some tips or other art-making-related stuff :)

TTFN!
