Like the title says its obvious I have some catching up to do! So lets start with TusCon. This was my first time having a dealers table. And it was a blast! I met so many neat people. And a lot of them were so nice to let me take a picture of them! 
This guy was my dealer neighbor. He makes props and various models. He was selling some of his bust (Luke and Terminator) and collector items for really good prices.
Before I took this picture this guy told me he had to get into his “Teddy Roosevelt pose”. 
He had such a light hearted personality.
This guy was awesome! Not only was he an awesome look alike but he had a strong Scottish accent. He was hilarious to talk to to boot!
This gentleman played some beautiful celtic music while in the dealers room.
This was an interesting bellydancing performance. Their costumes were really neat but the dance started out slow. I was starting to lose interest until they…
starting balancing swords on their heads! For some reason that got them dancing and moving their hips!
I wish I had more pics of people I met and even us! My husband and I dressed up steampunk and then totally forgot to take pics of ourselves! I even met some great artist like : Jessica Feinberg, Artlair , and Emily Smith, nightengale . You should definitely check out their stuff.
Hopefully my next post will be sooner than later but now I have some projects that need to get done before Christmas. I’ll chat with ya later!
It is now summer in Arizona and I’m already looking forward to winter. It’s just freakin’ hot down here! And let’s add a story to this hot weather complaint. It was the first week of June when I was taking a right turn at a light just a minute away from my home. All of a sudden WHAM; my car got hit! Lucky for me they had insurance, but unfortunately for us it was the car with AC. 
It’s been in for repairs it’s taking a while for that to get done. We have been driving our second car that is an old 1990 Toyota Corolla that has no AC. So we have the windows rolled down and hope that all the stop lights stay green- yeah it’s that hot.
What all have I been up too lately? I must apologize for the absence. Since my son got out of school for the summer it’s been hard focusing on my work, but once school starts again everything should settle back into place again. But it doesn’t mean I haven’t done any art, I actually been working on small projects.
These were done for a contest on deviantArt. I was supposed to come up with my own character designs for Fantasy Earth Zero. They were fun to do and were a small enough project I could take them with me when my son was at swim team practice.
Other artsy things I’ve been doing are teaching art classes from home. I’ve been teaching a couple of girl’s watercolors and a younger one arts and crafts. It’s been fun and educational for both me and the girls. I actually find it hard to teach others my techniques because I am so use to doing them myself and they just come naturally with no need for an explanation. Trying to tell someone else how to do it really makes me have to think about each step I go through when I paint!
Another project is something my husband and I are working on. We are making steampunk costumes! He is farther along on his than I am…it’s actually been pretty hard trying to come up with just the right outfit. But once things start picking in the costume making I’ll post the progress if I can.
