Is that dragon art on your Flickr, and if so is it "blogable"? I'd love to feature it on my blog. BenVarkentines last blog post..Anne Hathaway has the ability (as an actress) to pull you into whatever emotion her character is feeling at the time

Comments truly do make all the difference, don’t they, Daz? I love reading the wonderful comments I receive on my blog (yours included!), and I’m fortunate enough to get some on every post now. However, I do remember when I was just starting out, and I got absolutely none at all. You really do feel as though you are writing out into a void.
Also, I would just like to second Nicola on the fabulous liquidity you feature in your art. When I was flicking through the poetry book I’m giving away, I came across a poem that made me think of that exact same quality I see when I look at your work:

Upon Julia’s Clothes

When as in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then (methinks) how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes.
Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!

by Robert Herrick

Isn’t ‘liquefaction’ just an amazingly evocative word?

ps., OMG, the buffer zone!!

You made my brain hurt trying to remember that.

I did, though: Balkans. Aspirin. Secretaries.

Thanks, Mr. Child.

You just never know what the web is going to turn up next.

Synchronicity: Darren was always teasing me about the romance novels I read in high school (I never went anywhere without something juicy to read, least of all class– and I still don’t). When the sophomore yearbooks came out, we each pledged never to show the our respective photos to *anyone*, because I think I speak for both of us when I say that school pic was the dorkiest one ever taken of either one of us. Now (here’s the synchronicitous part), in that yearbook, Darren wrote a goofy little poem about being there (and putting gum on my seat) someday when I won a prize for writing one of those gooshy smooshy romances.

I have yet to write a romance novel (although I have tried). A couple months ago though, I started blogging about the ones I read, at alphaheroes.blogspot.

Returning to the present day, Darren, I love your art. I love how liquidy the flowing lines look. (I do sort of miss Joe Blood, though, and his left-handed axe).

You can find my husband’s art at mechronomicon.blogspot.com — you might like it.
