I skipped a few pages of sequential art to make this full page panel. There’s an inset I have to do, and some “voiceover” text, but it’s essentially done. I love it, but I never want to render a frigate again. #GraphicNovel #JaneAusten #Persuasion

Captain Wentworth’s frigate, the Laconia, ink and watercolor on Bristol, for the first issue of AN ACCIDENT AT LYME graphic novel adaptation of my mother’s musical adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion

The next 2 pages of my graphic novel are inked. My next task is to set up my Patreon where I’m going to post more WIP. #dipPen #ink #traditionalComicProcess #persuasion #janeAusten #regency

Page 2 of An Accident At Lyme, issue (act) 1, page 2.

Panel 1 shows a brick house, with the caption “Chawtin Cottage, August 8, 1815
Panel2 is Jane Austen, pen in hand, thinking
The thought bubble is a dozen obscured figures
Panel 3 is Charles Musgrove tipping his hat and approaching Jane followed by Lady Russel and two more blurry figures. He says “Good morning Miss Austen”
She replies “Good morning”

Page 3 of An Accident at Lyme featuring a conversation betweeen Jane Austen, Lady Russel and Sir Walter Elliot

Mrs Russel: Are you looking for someone?
Jane Austen: Yes I am. A heroine for my new book. It will be my last, I think, so I myst choose well.

Lady Russel: oh my dear, surely you don’t think to find one here! It isn’t possible.
sir Walter: Did she say she’s looking for a heroine here? In Somerset?? She must be mad.

20 minutes later, I’m questioning the decision to use traditional materials for inking my graphic novel. I haven’t managed an ink drip for over a year. Until now. #dipPen #inking #comics

Many years ago, my daughter was in a production of Romeo & Juliet, and I got a little fancy with the congratulatory ad for the program. This was probably the only contribution to the family poetic tradition I have made. Iambic pentameter is hard.

A program ad for my daughter’s high school production of Romeo & Juliet.

Some sort of sonnet for Ariel Sheridan

Alack! What poverty my Muse brings forth,
When forced to write a poem as on a bet,
Culminations of toil and sleepless nights,
Donning the role of Lady Capulet!
No words exist to properly convey,
By telephone or fax or text or tweet,
The pride and love we feel for you this day;
Witness to amazing thespian feats.
Your indulgence to you we do but beg;
We do not say “good luck” but “break a leg!”

—Mom & Dad

I’ve been busy with character design for the graphic novel I’m working on: AN ACCIDENT AT LYME, a musical adaptation of Jane Austin’s PERSUASION that my mother wrote. I’m hoping to resurrect my Patreon this month so people can follow along. #comics #regency #collaboration

Finished!! I still have time to wash it before tne shower. #quilt #quiltsky #babyquilt

A baby quilt with 20 pink blocks featuring appliquéd animals and shapes with purple sashing and green cornerstones and a bright pink satin binding. I use satin bindings on my baby quilts because I have a very strong childhood memory of loving how the satin blanket binding felt on my face, and children deserve to have that feeling.

A #comic I drew in 2022. Coming up with ideas for a daily comic is hard, and I’m always impressed by those who can. This style is fun, but not right for my current project.

A 3-panel comic Drawn on 4/18/2022

Panel 1: an artist, sitting mostly turned away, with their head facing the reader and saying “Hi there! Welcome to the premiere of So You Think You Can Draw Dogs?”

Panel 2: the artist in the same pose, smaller, with a drawing of a dog holding a flower in its jaws and leaping. The artist says “Here’s a sketch I drew today!”

Panel 3: the sketch of the leaping dog is outlined and shaded. A woman in a dress with her hair in a bun stands to the right of the dog sketch, pointing at it. A callout with the words “My Inner Critic” points to her. Out loud, she says “Now see here… You can plainly see this was drawn with no reference” and a thought balloon beneath reads “and you still need to practice your mark-making m’dear”

Here’s some of my non-quilt stuff

The full #quilt show photos will have to wait until after I file my taxes, but I can still procrastinate by posting these videos I took at the show on Saturday. I was the featured quilter this year, so I had a room all to myself. 28 pieces of fiber art, and examples of the other media I work in

I love getting my Kickstarter rewards. By the time they ship out I’ve forgotten about them so it’s always a lovely surprise. This is a Regency Romance game that I got as much for the art as the gameplay. Not sure if Dux Sominum has a presence here, but they’re the game company.
