Ides of April

Sat Apr 18, 2009, 5:10 AM
Where did the time go?

It's been an insane few weeks. I did two illos for the Gathering 'Hotel Cabal' Anthology. Unfortunately, unless Christine has gotten some late entries, I have the only art in the book and I use the term 'book' loosely. In order to justify the publishing costs, they have to have a certain number of pages (10 stories plus art) and it looks like that's not going to happen. Christine is thinking about releasing the anthology as a .pdf instead and that's a shame.

If you've been looking in on my LJ, you'll know that quite a lot of my attention has been focused on my son Paul. He was riding in a friend's car on their way home from scouts, going WAY too fast when his friend lost control of the car and smashed it into an overpass bridge support. We drove by it last night while it was still light and if they hadn't hit the thing head-on, one of them would have been dead on the spot. *shudders*

Neither boy was seriously injured and Paul has mostly recovered. His knee is still giving him a little trouble, mostly from going up and down stairs at school, but it just needs a little more time.

Meanwhile, I'm booked into A-kon [link] and AnthroCon [link] so I'm in pre-con art production mode. To this end I'm also doing april_drawing over on LiveJournal. There's also MGC and this month's theme is Gargs Down Under -- draw an original Australian gargoyle or take your garg characters on a vacation there. The month's half over and there's no entries yet!

What are you waiting for?
Let's get on with it!

SUNDAY NIGHT ART CHAT: If anyone is interested, there will be an art chat in Station Eight [link] every Sunday from 7pm EST to 11pm EST. We'll be talking about what's selling and what's not, as well how best to promote your art!

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:
PLEASE do not COLOR or MODIFY my art work!! The best way to improve your own art is to practice, practice, PRACTICE!

Yeah, since this happened after a scout meeting, the adult leaders looked into it and discovered that there were actually three scouts and two cars involved. The other boy admitted to getting up to 85 and Paul's friend was trying to slow down on the turn when he lost control of the car.

*rolls eyes* Idiot teenagers, thinking they're invincible.

Well hopefully this scared them all straight.

We've all been there. Stupid times. :shrug:

That's the reason the pregnancy in adolescence in Brazil increases everyday. Why? Because teenagers think that nothing won't happen with them.

And i hope Paul get better soon!!

I can only imagine how much horrible has to be a telephone call starting with "your son had a car accident", even when nothing serious happened to him.
I'm glad for you that everything ended without nobody injured. Perhaps this bad experience will make the boys reflect about a more safe behaviour using the car.

Good luck for your Art-conventions!
