It dawned on me the other day that this old piece I did of the Amy/Andrew dualism ( [link] ), that Andrew was really an early manifestation of Charlie ( [link] ) all along.

Points to those of you (maybe three people) who even know why this is significant.

Anyway, I should draw a new Andrew based on my current concept from the Smackdown game. (SvR '10 SUCKED ASS BTW. The character creation system was developed on board a big fat failboat, aparently.)

Having read a good bit of Marlowe now, I have to now COMPLETELY disagree with the greater part of the Marlovian theory, ie. Marlowe = Shakespeare. They read completely differently. Marlowe reads more like average first-person dialogue (with the Elizabethan syntax, of course), and Shakespeare is more whimsical and lyrical. I had to love Doctor Faustus though - the man is so full of himself that he refers to himself in the third person, even when he's talking TO himself.

Now the part of the theory about Marlowe faking his death...now that could be true. The whole death story sounds too fishy to me. I also have other reasons. The same people who know about the Charlie thing above will know about my Marlowe reasons.

So to cover my historical M.O.:

Marlowe: not Shakespeare, "disappeared" in 1593, bisexual

Avidius Cassius: Pretty Spry For An Old Guy (ie, Marcus Aurelius' parents' age)

Domitia Lucilla: lived past Cassius (d. 175), about 10 years younger

If anyone even reads this and might ask, NO, I cannot prove any of this with facts. I'm not toting it as real world trufax, and I don't expect anyone else to think so just because I say so. This is just my personal fill-in-the gaps based on...things none of you would probably believe anyway.

So the gas line in the neighborhood was out all day for repairs. We forgot this, and Robert went to put muffins in the oven...we had to take them out again and finish them later. Ever heard of a three minute egg? Well we got to have Six Hour Muffins! WooHoo!

Anyhoo, when the maintenance guys came back in our house to reconnect the valves in our stove and light us back up, one of them complimented my most recent painting, this one of Red, that I had propped up on my bookshelf. It made me feel nice.


P.S.: We have a new kitty edition to the family now! Her name is Sophie and we adopted her from a lady in Houston. She and her little girl developed some serious allergies, and cats are the dominant one. She's about five years old, a calico-tabby mix, and so cute and sweet!

I have interwebz at the house now! Now I can finally turn off the mature content filter and don't have to leave a bunch of white minus-sign deviations in my inbox!

Hokay so like I have a buttload of new sketches to upload, but I want color versions of them done. I can't decide if I want to put up the sketch and the color work at the same time, like I did with "Le Bebe Noir", or just dump the sketches to scraps and post the colors as I do them? Is anyone even that keen to see new junk from me anyway? Still wonder why I have even this many watchers and no activity from them. Oh well.

TRADITIONAL ART ORIGINALS
If you are interested in ANY originals, note me here. I will set up the sale through Etsy for security purposes. I am willing to move some of them for cheap, especially the large sketch-paper ones, as they can be rolled into a poster mailer. You can choose anything from my main gallery or my scraps. Include the URL of the piece in your note.

SHADOW PAINTING REQUESTS + ORIGINALS
Pending shadow paintings will now be done on CANVAS. (This means you, Brandy. I haven't forgotten.)

Future shadow paintings will be done on canvas. If you are interested in one, please note/email me.

First run shadow paintings will be sent to the subjects for FREE if you are interested in having them. (Unless you are the one who is living overseas, then I will ship it to the care of someone in the US for you, or you can PayPal me shipping costs.) If you have no interest in having yours, I will offer them up to anyone who asks. Notice will be put on the DA page of the piece.

JEWELRY
I still have all the BOTTLECAP JEWELRY. I will not make any more when it has run out. Please note that I am sending PENDANTS ONLY, as the cord method did not work out. If you want any, note me and specify if you want holes punched for cord only or for a jump ring. Again, sale will be set up through Etsy for security purposes.
