Catching up


God cannot relate to the angels. They do not include him in tetherball. They are not of his hand, not his children. They rose from the foam of the sea, sprung full-formed from the head of Zeus. They fluttered about at Sinai, taunting Moses, undermining God’s authority. They are beautiful, intelligent. They walk among us, filling us with empty hopes, directing our attention across the desert acres to glittering pools that turn out to be sand.


From For the Love of God

I've been delayed. Matthew wanted me to get this project done before this weekend, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I've still got 11 more drawings to do, and I also am working on the silly xmas project for work that I'm not really supposed to work on during work hours, but it still needs to get done by mid-december. It's a recipe book for everyone. I'm afraid they've made the mistake of handing the project over to the two most [visually] scatterbrained people there. It's going to be an opus in disorder. I also got a call today from someone interested in giving me an illustration job. Keep your fingers crossed, everyone. I have to call back tomorrow for details, with the Handbook for Pricing and Ethical Guidelines in hand. We'll see how that goes. I've also decided to do a small book on saints:

and one on nuns:

That's as far as I've gotten, though. I've also got a nice Hester Prynne I need to find something to do with...

I guess she could be anybody, but that big old A is a dead giveaway. I guess that was the point, though, you little minx. It sure helps IDing the illo, anyway.

So, projects out the wazoo. I've got to put some color into some of these eventually, too.

Matthew's almost got four completely polished stories in the hopper too. Hopefully this means he'll post one of them soon, so that we go back to being idiots' box and not just idiot's box. Idiot.
