Art, Art, Art
It's a good feeling when all your artwork has sold! (Except "Salt Marsh," which I took down and gave to my mom because she wanted a hurricane.) I've finished a new piece, "The Lost Character (Spirit Photography II)," which I'll be putting up as soon as Grey has a chance to photograph it, and I'm in the middle of another piece, as yet untitled, that so far uses only paint and no collagework. Why is this so much more fun than I can remember writing being in ... maybe forever?
On the trans front, I started a project to count how many times I get misgendered in a week, but I lost heart after it happened seven times in the first day.

"Please Write" and Auctions
Also, new auctions: hardcovers of Wrong Things, Drawing Blood, the numbered edition (#306) of Guilty But Insane, and the deluxe tenth anniversary edition of Lost Souls, as well as two more unusual and lovely pieces of Victorian human hair mourning jewelry, a pair of earrings and a brooch.
"Liar (Spirit Photography I)"
"Liar (Spirit Photography I)," 20" x 16", $100
This is the first piece in a new "creepy" series that incorporates nineteenth-century spirit photography (a.k.a. ghost pictures) into studies of relationships. I'm currently at work on the second piece in the series, tentatively titled "The Lost Character."

Two More Hurricanes
Both of these auctions end in a little over an hour. These are the last pictures I intend to auction for the time being -- future ones will probably go up with Buy It Now prices only -- so if you like one of these, you may be able to get a deal.
"Scared But Doing It Anyway," 11" x 14"
"Untitled (Dark & Copper)," 16" x 20"
Thanks for looking!

The Bachman Books
I recently reread the Bachman books, which I think are a pretty underrated part of Stephen King's body of work. I like how Father Callahan from Salem's Lot just sort of strolled into Roadwork and lived incognito as Phil Drake for a while before proceeding to his Dark Tower adventures. And it amuses the hell out of me how The Running Man is set in such a completely 1970s vision of a dystopian future: you can kill people on TV, but there's legalized pot, smoking still allowed everywhere, phone booths, Naugahyde and chrome furniture in rich people's houses, and no tolerance of queerness.

Another Hurricane
Since the piece I posted the other day got a lot of looks and ultimately sold, I thought I'd post another one for folks to check out.
"Billy and Trollface drove the boat to the Arctic"
As of right now (Monday morning, 7:03 AM New Orleans time), this one is still available for a Buy It Now price of $100. It and two other hurricane pieces are also available for bidding. Now, for a limited time only, you can own a piece of original art (or a signed book) and help us pay the house note for another month!

Hurricanes
So I've been working on a series of collage/painting/text pieces on canvas, called Hurricanes, and I decided to put some of them on eBay. I don't usually do Buy It Now offers, but as an introductory thingy, I'm listing each of these pieces (ranging in size from 11" x 14" to 16" x 20") for a Buy It Now price of $100. If this seems super-high (hell, I don't know from pricing art), you can also bid on them starting at $20 (no reserve). Here's my favorite of the four currently available:
"Biohazard"
