Waiting For Bilbo (part 2)

Fridge magnets


Hope you're all having a good holiday season! I'm having much fun seeing friends and family, plus doing a lot of painting. I'll be putting some of the items above (mini fridge magnets, Screamer series) and below (Menagerie series) up for sale in my Etsy store.

I found the tiny Screamer canvases at Gwartzman's Art Supplies on Spadina Avenue: 2" x 2" x ".3 wood blocks wrapped in canvas. With a magnetic strip stuck to their backs, they make great fridge magnets.

Menagerie paintings


I've sold enough mini-paintings at this point that I've started realizing I need a better way of tracking where each piece goes, both for finances and customer info. So I'm using my membership at Lynda.com to learn Filemaker Pro 9; I'd like to build a customized database for my art and also update the database I have for my writing.

Waiting For Bilbo


For those interested, I've revamped Waiting For Frodo to make it easier to navigate from the main page, plus I've set up the Waiting For Bilbo site.

I'll be launching Waiting For Bilbo sometime next year, not sure exactly when yet. If you'd like to be kept informed about when new strips are posted, please fill out this form.

I haven't yet decided if I'm going to keep any of the same characters. Except for Rosie, of course -- I -have- to keep Rosie. :-)
