The online horror magazine 69 Flavors of Paranoia has featured my piece “The Invention of Fear” in their October/November issue, Menu 14. And it's the first article on the list! Excited!

Also, its only two days away from my first group show at the Starlight Ballroom in Philly. If you are going to be in the area this Saturday, please stop by and say hi! Tickets are $10 for students with ID and $12 for adults. It should be a lot of fun!

Serpentine Dreams
The internship is going better. I just need to stop stressing myself out.
Finally got the time to finish up a painting I first started back in May. I'm actually very proud of it. The scales took FOREVER, but I'm glad I took the time to paint all of them.

Frustration Beyond Belief
The internship is really stressing me out. I'm so aggravated/hurt/AGGH!!
But aside from that, the freelance work may be picking up. I'm working on the cover for Barbara Meyer's first book of her new series. I also am doing promotional things for her; I just finished making some pretty bookmarks :) And I should be hearing soon from a girl that I'm painting custom shoes for within the next week. And my Morpheus Tales illustration is done and has been sent in. Here's the finish:

News
I am now the intern for Girl Approved. I went on an interview with the lady behind the company, Heidi, and she really liked my work. I will be interning with her for two months. I'm pretty excited :)
Also on the topic of news, here's what I've been working on lately:
-The illustration for Morpheus Tales. Almost done, just have to do more tedious detail work.
-Designs on shoes for a girl starting her own shoe company. All the shoes she gets made will be custom painted, and hopefully if she likes the job I do on these trial pairs, she will come back to me for the real deal.
-And, just started tonight, a painting of Claudia from Interview With A Vampire. I love that book (and movie), and I love the concept of her being young forever, like the porcelain dolls Louise gives her. I just did a quick under-painting, which I never do, and hoping to get more into it tomorrow. Here's a picture of the under-painting, done in oil paint thinned out with liquin.
And yes, she is done on the back of an illustration board. I'm recycling :)

Morpheus Tales
So here's the progress on my illustration for Morpheus Tales Magazine. The story it is going with it called The Brother of Death, and it is a pretty badass story if I do say so myself. I won't get too much into the detail of the story, but the moral of the story ids basically the age old saying "curiosity killed the cat", or in this case, the boy. Another moral could be "Don't talk to strangers"...especially creepy old women.
She is done in oil paint. This is about an hour into the painting.
