Indonesian Rijstaafel (Feast!)
Grand Rapids – MI – Our last gathering (an artist’s and performers fundraiser for CirqueACirca & The 121st Retronauticon) was a great time for all, and we are doing it again. Come out and meet the crew, have some amazing curry and a spot of tea (vegetarian options available)
The Art of Cirque A Circa
In a work of art nearly the size of two football fields, we will have many performers throughout the ArtPrize competition. Performers include airial, fire-spinning, fire-eating, and other sideshow performances by Cassie Truskowski, Author Bethany Grenier, Local Artist Ted Jauw, and many others – as well as fashion shows, and of course music: Such as acts by Zoe Boekbinder of Vermillion Lies, and also by The Gypsy Nomads – a great band last seen (by us) at the World Steam Expo.
Join the Circus
Some of you may already be aware of this, but this year I am participating in Grand Rapids’ Artprize competition along with Bethalynne Bajema, Ted Jauw, Kate Jauw, Bethany Greenier, John Hyatt, and Cassie Truskowski, with our combined work…
Some New Artworks
The drawing for the Gatehouse Gazette was ink on Bristol. I decided it needed some color, so I broke out the acrylics and got to work on it. This is the finished result… very vintage pulp in its look and feel.
The Rescue Limited Edition Giclees current count
I was asked earlier today what the status (particularly current remaining count) of the 32×22 (full sized) giclees are, and since I feel it may interest repeat visitors and new visitors alike…
Old Becomes New
New old items will become available gradually between now and January.
Goggley Stripey Elf – By Liz Amend
Harden is an intrepid explorer and photographer and it looks like he is off on another adventure! He wears a little acorn cap (sculpted of polymer clay) and goggles. He has a tiny camera to capture all the amazing things he will see, maybe he might even see a human!
November Sale
Winter is on its way, and in order to make our Holidays better, yours and mine, I am holding a big November Sale.
Giclees are the main thing on sale this month – some of which there are less than 15 of remaining, ever, out of 50 that will be out there in the world, ever.
Axel Brötje’s “Kiss of the Scorpion”
If I had a daughter, this would probably be her….
A wonderful short film about a delightfully dark girl on a train.
Coming to this Space
So, the task at hand is to come up with something that can be done by hand, and yet is more awesome than an actual-sized limited edition 200-years archival reproduction
Product Specials
An alternate version of the promotional piece done for Dexter Palmer\'s \"The Dream of Perpetual Motion\", published by Macmillan.

This is the scene as I first imagined it in my head: not the more-accurate representation out of the two images, but my favorite.
In the novel, the main character is rather un-phased by his flight; This however is a more dramatic piece, as I would imagine the reactions of the other children taken. I also used the demon of the scarier first-draft visage (in the book, the demons aren\'t meant to be so frightening).
There are 25 limited edition giclees available, printed in high quality 200-year archival pigment inks upon fine high white-point fine art rag paper for the best and most vivid representation of this piece. The printed area is 12 x 12 inches, and the extended white border extends it to just over 13 x 13 inches.
They are, of course, signed, dated, and numbered in the margin in pencil by me
