Manic Monday!

It's an amazing San Diego day and it's hard to stay indoors right now. Let's get through this Manic Monday, manic-lly!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have seen paradise and it is Genius Isolated, a book just put out by IDW. It's about Alex Toth, and yes, know I've posted about it before, but I just got my copy in the mail and dammit I'm excited! Really, it's amazing. It's bigger and thicker than I thought ("That's what she said") and the production value of the thing is astounding.

I can't recommend the book more. Well worth it. (The link up there is to its Amazon page, where it's only thrity-two bucks right now)

Beyonce's got a new single out. "Run This World (Girls)" is classic Beyonce. And by that I mean, awesome, ass-shaking and just bizarre enough to keep you engaged through the coming years. Her discography is seriously aging well, better than most wines. Honestly I think she tacked the parenthesis-Girls-parenthesis onto the title to be nice. We all know who runs the world, Miss B, but thanks for extending the royal hand.

I've got another, semi-serious writing gig coming up. I've just, just started, so I'm going to keep it light and not jinx it. I'm excited about it. More to come soon!

Progress on my Egyptian Frog Goddess has been made! Not quite done yet, but the inking's moving along nicely. Here ya go!

Manic Monday!

The Nunez family has their Christmas tree! And the week's started! Hey, ho, let's go!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Queen's "I Want To Ride My Bicycle" is an amazing song. I don't really have anything more in-depth than that to say.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike....

Anyone have any TV/ movie recommendations? We're almost done watching the complete series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I realized that we don't have anything lined up after that. It may be time to finally delve into "The Sopranos".

------------------------------------------------------------------

Lady Gaga is the new Madonna, and Beyonce (where's that accent go again?) is the new Janet Jackson. But who's Prince? Or Michael Jackson?

Egypt, Egypt, who wants so Egypt!

Reading all this Ahkenaten and Nefertiti stuff has put me in an Egypt State of Mind. I thought it'd be fun to revisit some old ground. I decided to do a sketch of Hatchepsut, first female Pharaoh of Egypt and the subject that I chose for my thesis project at SVA. I've posted my thesis pages since I finished the project, and I've looked at them and showed them to people. But today was really the first time I'd looked at them in over two years. It was mainly for costume details and face structure, that kind of thing, but it was fun to jump back into that world.

Man, like riding a bicycle.
