Just a speed painting I did today.
Eli Danger and I are having a baby. Quite soon actually. Her due date is Jan 4th, but the baby could be here as soon as 2 weeks from now. People have been asking about what stuff we need and baby showers and that sort of thing. I hit up the brain trust and compiled a list of things that would make life easier.
SO... here is a link to our
Baby Registry for those folks what would like to help out. No pressure - I am incredibly uncomfortable asking for things. I'm just not that kinda guy, but who knows - maybe I have an awesomely rich secret benefactor.
It could happen.
It's way past time that I post some update about what's been going on here at the art cave. First off I got an amazing gift from
Jake Von Slatt, the master steamsmith of the
Steampunk Workshop. I met Jake at Steamcon 2009. He was finishing off a panel on his cool builds and we (the Girl Genius crew) were moving in to set up for our traditional Girl Genius Radio Theatre show. And while Phil was sorting through scripts, Jake and I got to talking about my long and sorrowful search for a 'Girl Genius' Microphone.
Jake later contacted me to say that he had picked up a desire to build me that microphone - and this year at Steamcon, he presented me this sexy beast...
As I carried it from the art room to our dealers table I felt all eyes on me. Like I was in possession of a sort of rapturous, carnal, steam-powered totem of WANT! Like I was indy, and around every corner another Belloc awaited me.
Next up I'd like to show off my latest creation -
The Adventure Society membership badgeThe Adventure Society is my take on a 1800's superhero squad from what I'd like to call the "Gilded Age of Comics". I'll be posting characters soon but badges - those you can get now.
Membership badges to the Adventure Society are
now available
for a nominal fee! - Just in time for Christmas
the pic makes the badge look like silvery metal but in person it's much more brass tones
-
Update: Kaja has retaken the product image - and was able to capture it's true brassy color.
I'll still try and get some of my own pics up this weekend.
Here are two more takes on a logo for a Steampunk superhero society.
UPDATE --- Or maybe door number 3 is the answer...
