You must check out this gorgeous comic called His Face All Red by Emily Carroll. The art is beautiful, the storytelling is evocative and I can hardly wait for more.

It looks fabulous on her website. It feels like she definitely had online viewing in mind with the storytelling and layout, a la Scott McCloud. Her comic should be experienced online for its full impact (though if she ever publishes this in print, I’d snatch that up, too):

This is the first “page”:

She will be participating in The Anthology Project 2, as well.

In the meanwhile, you can see more of her artwork on her blogs:

Part of why I enjoy traveling to other countries is discovering art and artists that I would otherwise never encounter in the US:

Yesterday, while I was wandering around in the VenusFort shopping mall in Odaiba I found beautiful artwork that really brought back childhood feelings of imagination and wonder on lovely stationary items.

All I could find on the stationary items themselves were “Snih” working with Delfonics (a stationary company in Japan) and that she signs the items “Yuki.” After much searching online, this Pict website of Yuki Koinuma’s work was all I could find resembling a portfolio website.

Now I’m on a hunt for more of Yuki Koinoma’s artwork in Japan and madly Google to find anything that’s up on the web. :)

I recently sold a set of postcards in my Etsy store. After I wrapped it to be shipped, I thought it came out pretty and took a photo. :)

Last week, when I was getting really frustrated with color correcting, I found myself working on an old piece. I look forward to things settling down a little more and focusing on creating more arts! :D

In the meanwhile, send some well wishes this way… After finding out that Lena and Beau are finally better from their random infections, we found a not-quite abscess from some kind of flesh wound on Beau, and he is now on subcutaneous fluid, Penicillin and warm compresses. Stormy is on Gabapentin (an anti-seizure, anticonvulsant, neuralgia pain reliever) because she has a pinched nerve from her injury earlier this year. She also has physical therapy exercises to rebuild her atrophied leg muscles. I am currently the in-house bunny PT/Massage Therapist.

Look at these uber-suspicious bunnies! Beau is hiding in the back, Lena is judiciously ignoring us and Stormy is giving us a warning:

It just dawned on me that the number of Treasuries my prints and postcards have been included in is now almost double the number of items I actually have available in my store. Since I don’t really want the blog to just become a gallery of Treasury posts, this will be my last mention for that. :)

Instead, I will be focusing on converting my current work into products and creating new work! (The second part is a lot more fun :D)
