I'm coming to realize just how many of my Livejournal friends don't know about my actual blog! My livejournal is just for art posts and fandom stuff. All else can be found at Cult of Lincoln, syndicated for LJ at abeybaby. So now you know!

I'm thinking of applying to the Soho Photo gallery. To be considered, I have to submit a portfolio for review, consisting of 12-15 photographs, and I want to know if you guys have any favourites! My gallery is here.

Last weekend, my friends Craig, Shecky, Sue, and Sue's mother ventured out to the Bronx Zoo. I finally got around to uploading my images! Warning: This post is not for the faint of modem.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Yesterday, Craig and I participated the the Fourth-Annual NYC Pillow Fight! In between getting walloped from every direction by a crowd of over a thousand people, I managed to take a bunch of photos!

Matt and I went to the Museum of Natural History last weekend, and it was awesome. Naturally, I brought my camera with me!

After over a year of nothing, I finally have photos to share again! There are three sets, so you may want to steer clear if you're on dialup.

Dear yuletide Santa,

Thank you so much for writing a story for me! All three of these fandoms are woefully underrepresented in the fic department (especially Codex Alera--ye gods!), so I'd be delighted to receive a story for any of them.

I'd like to apologize to being so unspecific in my request. This is my first time participating in Yuletide, and the examples the site gave were only a sentence each, and so that's how much I wrote. I was shocked when I received my prompts, all of which were several paragraphs in length! Now I feel I did you a disservice. ( Hopefully, I can correct that now... )

In the end, if none of what I've said here appeals to you, just do whatever makes you happy! I'm so grateful to you for signing up, and I don't want you to be miserable. No matter what you write, the fandom and I will be ecstatic. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

In fannish love,
priscellie

Happy April Fools' Day!

It's been quite a while since I've done anything in the Harry Potter fandom, but when Heidi asked me to contribute another April Fools image for FictionAlley this year, I couldn't say no! For those unfamiliar with the tradition, each year artists contribute an image of the FictionAlley main page mascots dressed up as characters from another fandom, or of characters from another fandom taking the place of the main page mascots. It's all very silly and fun and a great opportunity to showcase some of the fandom's artists. The full list of participants is here!

My crossover fandom... do you even have to guess?

Oooh, artist love meme in Glock's LJ! Give me love, and let me know when you add yourself so I can give you love in return!


I've finally gotten around to posting my artsy photos from the massive Sappy Lincoln Narratives road trip, from the beginning of this summer. Maybe someday I'll actually write a blog entry about it! See photos from Dinosaur National Monument, Arches, Mesa Verde, The Grand Canyon, Antelope Point, Zion, Grand Canyon Caves, and Havasupai!



Clicky!


Then hurrah, the Doctor Sketchy's tradition continues! This session had a caveman theme, and the model wore half a gorilla suit, which made for some hilarious poses. She was also a lot more playfully bawdy with her poses than the previous model--such as posing with a banana in her mouth for TWENTY MINUTES. Great fun!

I arrived a bit late (I worked all of Saturday, until Dr Sketchy's began) and missed the 1-minute and most of the 2-minute poses.

Some 5-minute poses: Here and here

Contest: Best Use of Creationism, 5 minutes (I won! Go me!)

A 20 minute pose

Contest: Best Use of a F***ed-Up Anglican, 20 minutes. Note my doodle of King Henry VIII saying "Hellooooo, wife #7!"

Contest: Best Setting, 20 minutes. There had been jokes earlier about Sunset Boulevard, so that's where I put her.

Good grief, it's been AGES since I've posted anything artsy! I know I open every art post with a resolution to draw more, but hopefully I actually mean it this time. I've just discovered Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, antidote to the common figure drawing class! I had crazy fun, and I'll definitely be roping together a group of friends for the next session on November 10th.


1-minute poses: 01, 02

First Contest, 5-minute pose using my left hand. I won!

5-minute sketches: 01, 02

Second Contest, 5-minute pose of Something Terrifying. I was in the Top Three!

Warning: the following are not safe for work!

10/20-minute sketches: 01, 02, 03

Third Contest, 10-minute pose with Best Use of Cthulhu.

And also, in a dazzling exercise of convenient timing, my latest project just went live:



The Archive: Presenting a venue for Dresden Files fanfiction that is searchable by verse, pairing, level of spoilers, rating, and genre! Post your stories, get reviews, and read and comment on the works of others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHOCO, AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO PUCK!

To celebrate the twin happy occasions, GG, Kat, El, and I wrote round-robin Dresden Files ficlets. Both are PG. The first has no spoilers to speak of and takes place shortly before Grave Peril. The second has major spoilers for Blood Rites and Proven Guilty and takes place in some indeterminate time after White Night.


For Choco: ( The (Un)Romantic Exploits of Harry and Susan )

And for Puck: ( Save A Horse )

I come bearing photos from the Union Square Book 7 release party! I put them behind a cut as not to kill your layouts. The accompanying text is completely SPOILER-FREE, and I ask that any comments you leave be spoiler-free as well. If you're on a slow connection and would rather view the images separately, they're in here. Mega-love to pockyslash for taking a bunch of the photos of me in costume and for introducing me to a nearby restaurant with DELICIOUS green tea ice cream!
