A purely digital image, of a rather sinister wolf shaman, and his deer headdress. The title, "Lupines" is a bit of a pun...those flowers are wild lupine, he's a lupine...right, I'm easily amused.

In the wee hours of the night, I woke, clutched my husband's shoulder, and said "I've got it! If storks carry babies, vultures must carry zombie babies!" He said (quite clearly) "What the HELL, man...?" and then fell immediately back asleep. He later disavowed all memory of this incident, but I painted it anyway, 'cos who doesn't love vultures and zombie babies?

The warthog is dreadfully underrepresented. I decided to give him (her?) a flower and a pet chameleon just to round out the ensemble. (11 x 14, mixed media)

I'm sure all of us have felt like this at one time or another...

Now that THAT's out of my system...

The valiant Sir Bunny vs. the Ravenous Wockwurm. (Oh, c'mon, like YOU never have days like this...)

Driven to the edge of madness by the slow drying time of acrylics, I flung down the paintbrush and screamed "I'm a digital artist for a reason, goddamnit!" and fled to the waiting pixelly embrace of Painter. Then I proceeded to hammer out this little aboriginal wombat guy in seven frenzied and heavily caffinated hours. Me? Obsessive? Naaaaah...

Another Major Arcana for the nonexistant Wombat Tarot--The Fool. This feckless wombat is accompanied by his faithful companion, the Mystic Lungfish. The symbolism of the Mystic Lungfish is, of course, so obvious to the initiated that I will not trouble to repeat it here.

Wombat and Gears. Mixed media on clayboard, 12 x 12. Don't ask about the goldfish. The goldfish is everywhere. Fear the goldfish.

Another piece for the Wombat Tarot that, in some insane fit of optimism, I seem to be working on...the Hanged Man! (Should that be "Hanged Wombat"?)

It was late, I need to turn out a heckuva lot of art for a show in a week, and somehow, a Wombat Tarot seemed like a great idea. This is actually done on matboard, largely because I grabbed the wrong piece of scrap, but it made a niftily textured, if very slow to dry, surface.

Well, it's official. Digger got picked up by "Graphic Smash" a new subscription site, which means that I get money for it (Yay!) and that our wombat hero and acquaintences will be movin' on over. I'm very excited. Thanks to everyone at Yerf who's been so helpful!

Delving into the Minor Arcana of the Still-Nonexistant Wombat Tarot, we have the "Page of Wands." I should probably mention that these are all based on the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck, albeit...wombatized.

Another of my Wombat Tarot project--the Page of Swords.

Whenever the subject of furriness comes up, I usually find myself saying something along the lines of "I like animal people, but I don't, y'know, think I have the soul of a wombat or anything." Then I started thinking about this statement. And I suppose, assuming the wombat drank tea, lounged around reading books on wombat evolution, and had a secret weakness for Flavor Blasted Goldfish, and generally acted like a human all the time, that it might be possible.

Decided to revisit the Wombat Tarot again--this time the "Strength" card, where our wombat maiden subdues the mighty echidna, king of beasts, through purity of heart and a handy daisy leash.

This is a comic style experiment. If I can get the B&W megascribble thing worked out to my satisfaction as a comic style, I will probably use it as the basis for "Conspiracy" and "Irrational Fears" (it's an easy style to color.) So to work out the kinks, I started drawing the adventure of Digger the wombat. I don't promise resolution. Don't get attached!

Page 2 of the style experiment that is "Digger."

Page 3 of "Digger." Are you getting attached? Don't get attached!

Page 4 of "Digger." Damnit, now *I*'m getting attached...

Page 5 of "Digger." I gotta say, I was really pleased with how this one came out--I've been itching to draw Ganesh for ages, but it never really came together until now. How a wombat wound up in a Hindu temple is anybody's guess...

A friend of mine kept insisting that she wanted to see wombat beefcake. I lay all the blame on her and take no responsibility for any of it. (I'm goin' to hell...)

When Worlds Collide...the pink lizard meets the dodo-fish. Will pastel madness ensue?

This is Wug. Wug is a foo dog, one of those beasties that are usually in cast concrete statues, flanking the doorways of Chinese restaurants. There's a pair surrounding my monitor, which inspired this quick little character doodle. I dunno what's up with the cat.

My husband convinced me to make a relative of the mooing anteater our Christmas card this year. The stuffed ant's legs are attached wrong. I am wracked with guilt. Forgive me, art gods, for I have sinned against insect anatomy, even though I know better...

Still noodling around with physical media, trying to get some interesting textures. 12 x 12 acrylic on board.
