Brain Flotsam V2.007

Well, it's official. I'm a Snitch.
In true comic timing, my tablet pen has given up the ghost.  I decided to use the excuse to update my entire Intuos set up. The new one is in the mail.
I am in intimidating company, so I shall have to give some thought to how best to use my time to get some really compelling work done for the team.


2009 SNARRY GAMES - Team Snitch vs. Team Cauldron!

OMG, libba_bray posted about this and I WANT ONE!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

The awesomeness knows no bounds - especially note the info about the illustrations. w00t!

Look what my friend Keet made for me!
He's keeping Luna company on my office desk now.

:D

She has an Etsy store full of these (not Snape, but cute little dolls) over here.

Very excited to be in the snarry_games this year.
It's going to be intense and awesome, I'm sure.

Of course, after our squeeing and encouraging and all, it seems fated that venturous and I would end up on opposing teams.  Hee.  *smooches Ven*
It's also somehow entirely appropriate, after spending years and years role-playing Pernese dragonriders, that I'm working with Team Dragon! Yay!

(I have something like a constitutional objection to using super fancy fonts and massive graphics in my posts - occupational hazard - but perhaps just for this I'll end up using a header. ;) )

Now to put away my great squeeing over Snusa (which is awesome!) and work on this stuff.  I have all of October to worry about my later fest deadlines.  Hee.

I've posted my first contribution to hp_tarot's Round Three.

The lovely woman who made the hat I wore at Portus has a new web site up:

http://www.kerryrix.etsy.com

She's got some good stuff, if you want to take a gander!

I realize that given the nature of auctions, there will probably be a flurry of action toward the very end, but bidding does end in less than a week. So here is a re-post of my stuff before I depart for Portus and a much more limited net presence.

For LJ's livelongnmarry fandom auction for marriage equality:

Offer: Digital Portrait (with single print)
and
Offer: Digital Portrait (with single print) II

I didn't really pay attention to this when it first surfaced, but a good non-fandom friend of mine sent me the link yesterday and damn if this isn't a wonderful speech.

J.K. Rowling Speaks at Harvard Commencement : Harvard Magazine:

J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, delivers her Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association.

hp_beholder reveals have gone up, so I can let everyone know that I drew this one for florence_craye. 
And I got a lovely fic as a gift, Quite Some Time Since by mindabbles!  W00t! It's got some great Augusta Longbottom/Pomona Sprout love, so you should all read it.
