Not writing A.P.A. style, Yet?

School stars early with an email...

ASSIGNMENT:  

"Please type and print a one to two page autobiography and bring it on Sunday. Tell us about your family, your time in schools before Mercyhurst(University), what you have been involved with and enjoyed at Mercyhurst (University) and most importantly why you want to teach and what you are looking forward to as a teacher."

So I did this.

My point is this, if you have creative students in your classes,

allow them to express an assignment in a meaningful way to the student.

I'll see if he accepts this, it isn't in APA Format.

A New Book! New Art!--EDIT

The title is, “Linda’s ArtHouse”.  It will be a story-sketchbook, 32pages.

Available by the end of October.

It is a "Story Sketchbook".

Here is the wrap around painted cover.

 Here is the interior cover, the original drawing is roughly 28"x40"

 What is it about?

 It’s a YETS! tribute to my late fiancee’ , Linda who passed on August 4^th 2012.

Here is an excerpt from the introduction,

“Lin was in the hospital, diagnosed with terminal bone cancer.

She arrived back home under the care of Hospice, it was difficult and painful for her to leave her house very often, so she taped up a Valentine’s card and 

ordered me and her daughter to,

“draw something else to decorate the room.”

Me, and Linda’s daughter, Ondi did just that until Linda passed seven months later, we drew poignant things, silly things, large things, tiny things. We drew in early in the evenings or late at night and sometimes we just taped pictures to Linda’s wall for her to find, and

laugh at, when she woke up the next day. 

Our unwritten ArtHouse rule was, “don’t draw anything sad”.”

If you’ve read “YETS!” and enjoyed the stories and art then you’ve enjoyed Linda’s work. 

She edited most of the first three volumes.

This is a tough, emotional time for me and my friends, but “YETS!” will continue. 

It is what Linda asked for.

Here are some sample pages,

Relax

Sometimes it is best to give in and get some rest.

This has been a month of stress and great loss.

Spec and Perry have come back with incredible adventures in the TreeWorld, but

they need to rest before they begin to tell me their tales.

This may take some time.

Thanks for being patient with the lack of updates!

Yet Oceana

Got busy with packing for San Diego so I thought I'd post some new sketches that are going up in Linda's house.  These willgo up on Linda's blank blue wall that leads into her bathroom

...since there is no room for drawings on her kitchen cabinets anymore....

If you do, I will give you SUCH a PINCH!

Origins Game fair 2012

Origins Game Fair was awesome.  The show is four days long so that leaves time to sketch in between the sales.  So here are some pictures that will be hung in 

Linda's Art House.

 ...and how do you train...?

Well I figure you get better results with 

pretty rewards rather than punishment.

Just sketching with black ball-point pen on paper.

Where I've been

Before convention season strikes, I've been decorating Linda's house.

She's very sick and she says that my drawings cheer her up.  

So what can I do but drop everything and cheer her up!

If I make enough, I can put them into a book.

...but would you buy it?
