A Little Bit About Drabbles

I warned you that I might have more to say…and here goes! Today's video is about why I like to write Drabbles  — 100 word short stories. I hope you enjoy it.

Flying Pony Studios Leaps into the Blue!

My life has recently changed in many profound ways. And when I say changed…I mean CHANGED!

My marriage of twenty-four years is over, my house sold…and I'm renting a little farmette for the Winter in the same town in Washington where I've lived for the past three years. This is a temporary place as I’m planning on traveling in the Spring.

Summation of my life right now...BIG, hard changes have rolled through.

I process change best by doing art so…it’s time to make a mark creatively…which means publishing, printing, selling art and letters (stories.)

It’s a tall order, I know. But I have no doubt that I can "get 'er done" like I want to.

As of this moment, I’m opening up my studio blog to more than just the visual arts. From now on I’ll be posting videos, stories, whatever seems appropriate for this new creative journey.

To inaugurate this new route, I’m posting my first speaking video here today (all the others have been slideshows.)  In it, I'm reading my own six-word microfiction on the topic of science fiction. I hope you like the video…and even if you don’t, please be kind…it’s my first.

Cheers to all!

Mark Crilley video

Those of you who follow me on Facebook know I’m quite fond of comic/manga artist Mark Crilley (Brody’s Ghost and Miki Falls.) I thought I’d post Mark’s newest how-to video here today as it does a great job of demonstrating an artistic process that's quite similar to mine. The video shows a time-lapse explanation for how he creates one of his highly-complex dystopian cityscapes.

The timing of this video is rather interesting to me as I’m designing my own dystopian landscapes for some of the Book I illustrations right now. I wonder if my drawings will end up looking anything like Mark’s. I guess time will tell…

Enjoy the video and while watching I challenge you to think about what your own imaginary landscapes might look like.
 

Ciao for now and back to the drawing board.

Exciting news!

Merry Christmas a bit early!
