"It's Alive" in progress

This is the newest piece in progress, inspired by my thoughts about heart surgery, being an oddball and, really, what it is to be a Frankenstein. Before starting this, (and I incidentally do this on many pieces) I wrote down some thoughts about what it is to be a monster made from man, made by man to be a man but ultimately failing in every intention, aspiration and understanding of what it is to be human and being treated like an utter freak (which Frankenstein was), and this is on the back on this wood panel:
"Disparate parts put together to make a creature like man but wholly and truly a monster of pain-always an outcast, always persecuted, misunderstood. Feeling the weight of the world and destroyed by it."
So, this and a few other pieces in progress. Also really really contemplating where I can store my sculptural pieces before I go head-first and start on them. As always, I will do my best to keep you lovely folks updated. We will see.

And I am going to try to commit to posting as least once a month...to let you all know I'm alive (and the "you all" is my ego's way of not saying "my mother") and still kickin' ass with piss and vinegar running through these veins of mine. ROAR!!!

Song of the Month: "John Wayne on Acid" by D-Styles
Word of the Month: Phantasmagorical
Color I'm obsessed with at the current moment: Aquamarine

Finished Commission for some very important folks

So, I finished (finally) a very large painting for my cousins Aubrey and Josh. Being my first paying customers, and being that they are particularly awesome and stupendous human beings, I spent extra time and care on this and now that she's all done, I'm sort of sad to let her go. Here's a picture that I shot with my digital camera with afternoon lighting (it's the best time to shoot, I've found. That or overcast days), no flash (ever...don't use flash people; it makes everything flat and value-less...super big poo!). As soon as I get this monster shot, I'm sending it down south to the proper owners.

Word of the Month: Attainment
Color of the Month: Deep purple
Song of the Month: "Starla" by The Smashing Pumpkins

lost and FOUND!

So, I thought I had lost this sketch I did in Corel almost a year ago and I was super bummed because I liked it SO much. But low and behold, it was stuck in my ipod where I knew I wouldn't just delete it accidentally (because anything I have on my Ipod is my LIFE...I love me music, yo!), and I FOUND IT! GAAAAAH! It was as if I'd found the long lost magical article that would bring about the end of the world and it was MINE...again. LOL! I've done more work to it and am planning on doing more, but this is what I've done to it in a 30 minute period. I call it The Bubble Warrior

Song of the Week: "Rock On" by David Essex
Word of the Week: Copacetic
Color: blue-grey

The New Addition: Loki Dillinger

This is the newest addition to the DeSchaibled family. His name is Loki Dillinger-after the Norse God for trickery and mischief, and John Dillinger, the outlaw played by the very handsome Johnny Depp.
He's a nine week old mini-lop and is already as I'm coming to find out, WAY too smart for a bunny...he's always standing on his hind legs to try and see what's on top of stuff, and then proceeds to find a way there. He's already figured out how to get on top of the DVD collection under the coffee table and has probably already figured out how to get on my bed via the mound of pillows at the head of the bed.
