How to use this Page

I love this... weird and disturbing.

I like your little monster poems. Are these for a project or are you just in the halloween spirit and messing around?

I did them in the Halloween spirit-my favourite time of the year! :)

He is so cute and devious! Very nice.

There is great movement in his arms and the antenna on his head. The only thing, I think the feather should be in front of his face, it doesn't totally make sense behind it.

Very cool style. Loved looking at all your work on your web site. How long have you been up here in wet Seattle?

Hey, thanks man. Been up here since 2000. I like it here!

She's got it all. She's great!

Wow! Powerful stuff. Are you currently living there? Stay safe and good luck.

I agree! Very powerful... and I hope you are staying safe, if you are there!

UMMMM,

THAT is a CLASSIC MONSTER. I think that the BLAST out of his mouth is a little too clean for me...I remember it as being kinda static ridden and choppy from the films... Still Like what you've don here.... and the fact that its watercolor and traditional media is also pretty cool.

Hello PG
Oh it is of great comfort to know I am not the only one living in chaos.. my chaos is fairly contained in one corner but .. what a corner.. piled high with 1950's annuals, Blank cards, envelopes, badges, badge machine etc etc.
I am very envious of your book press.. should have kept mine.. sold it years ago in moment of madness!
Thank you for the book recommendation.. I will seek later. Your Life your Style sounds intriguing.. will have to investigate.

It looks like you have been very busy indeed. Your printed labels are beautiful, and the chaos will decline as soon as the season is well upon ye, I'm sure :)

The pheasant sound delicious, I watch them in the fields next to my place-of-work and think of our local game shop... They are pretty things.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I'll look that track up!

Um... It all looks quite neat to me. And where do I sign up to live in a village. I love the idea of Julie and I owning a cottage on the shore somewhere. I wanted to see if you'd post 5 random things about yourself. Alicia Padron tagged me and I usually don't go for that sort of thing but i did.

You are living my life of the past nearly-two-years... (gets old, dudn't it?)

I am relieved to see you are still alive, however. I was beginning to worry a bit!

Those tags look fabamundo. Well done. Now breathe!

No rest for the wicked hey!!! I'm so glad your in my group!! Maybe we can be wicked together??????

Heh heh, it's creative chaos, at least! Me, I have a load of stuff heaped on top of my printing press at the minute!

That's relatively tidy.....you should see my 'work station'!! Love those tags - they've all turned out really well.
I cannot believe you have not opened your parcels!!!Just thinking about it makes me agitated!!

We love pheasant too and I have to admit that I let Ian see to them.
Your piles are clearly all creative. I am a bit of a pile creator myself.

Beautiful labels G.
P.x

The tags look wonderful. I'm pleased to see sometimes you are not so tidy but probably still tidier than me!!!! I can't see my floor for pink and purple tissue paper and envelopes.

I think if I spent 2 hours cleaning my workstation, it might come up to par with your ;)

Lovely labels too!

Dear Gretel,
your tags are truly beautiful!
I started today to transfer the stuff on my desk to the guestroom. I use our spare dining table during the year, but we will need it to accomodate all of our Thanksgiving guests on Saturday. In the guestroom I have a real writing desk, but I like the dining room's southern location better. ;-)
I wish you good luck and time for a real breather every now and then!

First visit here, Love it, you have a great blog!
Fantastic illustrations, Mushrooms and newts!
Love it!

How an earth can you have packages and not open them !!!!

I keep saying that when I receive Christmas cards this year, I'm not going to open them, but save them all to open Christmas morning. Of course as much as I really want to do this, I don't have the will power to carry it through. ~ love Julia x

Ah, so annoying, I just wrote you a long fellow-artist message about the perils of this time of year.
And so much more.
And then the server failed.
So, here is the not even nearly as good comment, just to let you know that even in this over-heated New York apartment, I do feel connected to you clutter, and your pheasants, and you attempting to keep up with the demands of Christmas.

Hello, i really like your 'After the Ball' pic on etsy... i haven't seen anything like that, with inky outlines, from you before, have i? Anyway, like it! And hope you are well :o) x

Oh how well we know what a messy studio can look like, for when we prowl into Her studio it is always in chaos. But sometimes, just now and again, we find that She has left a painting and some paints for us to help with.
Now the studio is cold and unloved. Maybe tomorrow She will be back in it.
But we feel that maybe they are meant to be chaotic places, and when they are tidy no work is done.
