70's colored love!

So, I've been drawing and sketching a lot more lately.  I have recently been fortunate enough to have a lot better setup as far as computers go... like.. a lot better.  I have Josh (the bf) to thank for the new set-up, so I thought I'd post a little sketch I did for him.

I plan on using the vector drawing in gimp and coloring it with the wacom, which may make an appearance soon.  All of this is really just to improve my computer illustration skills, which are in their infant phase currently.

Thanks for the new setup, Josh.  You rock! :D

So, I did what I usually do in times of stress.  I buried my head in the literary sand.  This time, instead of just voraciously consuming books, I actually sat down to write quite a few short stories this summer.  I also polished off a lot of pieces from the past few years and hit the slush pile.   Newly shiny drafts of horror, light sci-fi, and urban fantasy in hand, I've been scouring the internet and twitter for places to submit my work while looking ahead to what else may be on the horizon.  A
