Shadowscapes Part III

Posted in blog, shadowscapes, tarot | 3 Comments
I’ve never made it a secret about just how much I adore Stephanie Pui-Mun Law‘s work, particularly her new Shadowscapes Tarot. I’ve got two sets of the decks (the regular and the special edition set which includes the Happy Squirrel card as well as a custom drawn sketch), her book on the Major Arcana, and now I’ve just received her book on the Minor Arcana as well. For both books I went ahead and splurged on the special edition, which basically just includes her signature and a custom sketch (of her choice on the inside.)  If I had the money I’d look at getting some of her originals, but with the medical stuff starting to pile on for those prolo-shots, I can’t really justify that right now. However, I do want to say that these books are just beautiful. They’re full of extra sketches and her notes on how she went… Read more

I don’t know who this guy is, but he is awesome. In fact, I may just need to write him into my sequel as a cameo. Bonus points for the sword *and* the violin case. Scottish Mobster Faery, indeed.… Read more

FYI

Posted in fyi | 4 Comments
I may be in and out here for the next few days. Mr myn’s dad was rushed to the ER at 2 AM this morning (he’s got Parkinson’s and he fell and now there’s internal bleeding that doesn’t appear to be stopping.) His vital signs are good, but I’m not sure what’s happening at the moment – we are waiting on the doctor. My awesomesauce editor has extended my deadline by a few months to allow me to focus on the important things, a gift for which I am utterly grateful. Hopefully this will not be as serious as it sounds and everything will be okay. More updates as I know them.… Read more

Autumn Shoes

Posted in metaphoric crap that is supposed to mean something deep but probably doesn't, writing | 2 Comments
I know it’s Fall now. Not because of the weather, or the leaves changing or any of that stuff. No, I know the seasons have changed because today was the day I gave up my sandals and put on Real Shoes. (aka Shoes One Must Wear With Socks) Which saddens me greatly. For the most part I detest wearing shoes. My toes like to breathe, I guess. And all isn’t lost as I’m sure there will be a few more warm days to be had before winter sets in, but it seems almost cruel to my feet to tease them that way. I did find it amusing that after months of wearing flat sandals, I actually had trouble walking in my real shoes today. There’s a little bit of a heel and I’m all over the place and out of balance. I’m sure there’s a metaphor there, but at the moment I… Read more

Kind of busy today, so here’s the best I could come with for a blog post. Kinda WTF, but pretty funny for all that. Dolph appears to be slumming a bit.  ðŸ˜‰ Deny Allow… Read more
