I'm tempted to start doing ACEOs...cephalopod ACEOs...

I'm still here and still working. I have several ponies that I've finished but just haven't worked on the webpages for. Right now, my goal is to get as many of the others I've been working on finished before the end of the year. I've got a few commissions that have been waiting for quite a while and a custom swap I'm working on. Since my baby has gotten mobile, I've definitely had more trouble finding time to customize.

I got a bunch of art stuff for Christmas (and am going to get some more with the money I got), so I have some plans to work on some more traditional art in the coming year as well as my customizing.

I hope everyone had a happy holiday!

The 2007 Utah Pony Meet will be held on Saturday, August 25th! Cees has very kindly offered to host us in her backyard to provide us with privacy.

-Please send RSVPs to Firebyrd so we can give you the address and arrange enough seating and activity supplies for everyone. Email me at fire at firebyrd dot net and I'll send you the address.

-The meet will begin at 12:00 pm. Those involved with setup, please arrive at 11:30 am.

-Lunch will be at 12:30 pm. Bring your own entree to be grilled (meat, shish-kabobs, veggie burgers, whatever works for you!) and something to be shared with the group. There will be a cake provided for dessert.

-There will be a custom and pony art contest. Bring your best works to show to the group!

-Trades and sales are highly encouraged, so bring your extras and whatever pocket money you have left after the Fair.

-Bring your favorite adult G1 for one of the games. If you don't have one, don't worry, we'll have extras for you to borrow.

-Thanks to Skylar, we will have some Fair exclusives available to buy. Depending on demand, there may be a game to determine who has first pick. Make sure to bring $30 to cover the cost of the pony and shipping if you're interested in getting one!

Many thanks to Cees, CrystalSnowflake, LilGryphon, MSKing, and Xayide for their help in planning and organizing this event. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

I'm currently holding a raffle to get money to buy my poor, plucked cockatoo a new cage. Among the prizes is a custom commission from me! This is a great opportunity to get a custom from me and do some good at the same time, so enter! It runs through July 3rd.

I've had a DA account for years, but haven't bothered to do anything with it previously besides use it to view things. My art comes and goes in spurts anyway and I post it on my website and in various forums, but hey, the more exposure the better. I primarily focus on My Little Pony customs these days, though I keep getting the urge to watercolor lately. If I ever manage to get customs supplies cleared off my desk enough to give me some space, I'm sure I'll pull those out again. I'd also like to learn how to properly paint with acrylics on canvas.

Watch this space for more stuff!
