So... I found out why my local (hour away) Pearl Art Supply store was having such a huge awesome sale a while ago... THEY'RE CLOSED NOW!!!
I...
Just where the hell am I supposed to buy art supplies now?? AOE? Jeeze why doesn't someone just slap me in the face instead? If I have to count on just AOE and Michael's for supplies I don't know what I'm gonna do... Who can afford the shipping on this stuff?? I can barely afford my stuff!!! Seriously! Now how am I going to find silk screening supplies??
:(

I hope these Cookies Tide you Over
Art will be uploaded as soon as I have time to finish some!! D: Who knew being an art professor was so time consuming? Plus I have payback to deliver - OLYMPIC PAYBACK. Cuz see on DA I put up a random journal to trade art for Olympic swag. WOW - the swag I got from the effervescent Zoe! I got a coke that lights up like .... well like the Olympics! And loads of other stuff too. So I'm doing her 3 arts:
...I'm also working on some tiny tiny wood dolls of constables. Oh come on... You know I can't go long without them!!! <3

Stamps and a Post Card
These are the stamps I carved to sent to Marina over at Enchanted Doll for her birthday/contest. I hope she likes them. Per usual, once I started working on them the idea of winning anything went out the window and I was in full on gift-giving creation frenzy!!
This is the birthday postcard I sent Wes, my foe. Mom made me mail this at a random mailbox so we wouldn't get in trouble. I guess it comes off as threatening? ;) I am glad I left off the "But I'll keep trying." I really would hate to be arrested.

Constables again
Constable Meyerhoff, seated at his desk, should be higher up in the ranks but... He likes his beat. His wife is the daughter of Constable Oberon whom he worked closely with and married her despite Oberon's objections. They have two daughters themselves now, both of marriageable age and since they are as sensible and charming as their mother Meyerhoff is worried the boys at work might try and woo them. He's made it known there will be none of that.
His daughters have other ideas though. So much like their mom! His deskmate is Constable Gallo who is currently dating the eldest daughter in secret and lives in fear of his life if Meyerhoff finds out.
The confused looking mustachio on the corner is Sargent Murdock.

Midnight Inking
Working out how I want to ink this comic... I am caught between two looks - the 005 micron and the sumi and brush. Maybe a mix of the two? But I like the china marker with the micron and a little color.... Decisions decisions!!!
Which do you like?

Constable Stamp!
To say I learned a lot about carving stamps would be an understatement.
Tiny details are hard!! The material is very responsive and reacts so well but it's SO RESPONSIVE that I had to be careful it didn't take more than I intended. Wow... I am so pleased!!!! <3
Look out mail recipients! There are Constables comin at ya! <3

It's a Long Way to Tiparrary...
Working away at regaining my ability to make the weird proportions I want for Midnight... The tiny Constable will become a stamp! Stamping is awesome on mail! And I want to try and carve a stamp...
Anyway, also you see Filice a streetwalker and Jackson an Art Corpsman - he works in lithography and frescos. Also is a Postman whom I can't decide if he will have shorts or long pants.
Anyway... Back to work before I lose the little I have regained!!
