The Art of Cheyenne Wright

Dipping my toes

So in order to raise some funds to keep my little family fed and off the streets begging for food - I've set up a teeny-tiny online print and original art store using a site called "SupaDupa" that was recommended to me by a very helpful denizen of the internet (Thanks @RocketJohn !)

I've only posted only a few art prints at the moment - But I also plan to to put up original art and a line of limited-time-only 'Prints of the Week' that will rotate out every monday morning. 

If you'd like to see what I have up right now hop on over to http://arcanetimes.mysupadupa.com/ and take a look. 

And if you've always had a hankerin' for a print, or original art piece of mine - let me know via the site ( or Twitter @cheyennewright ) and I can make it happen.

 

Mamma Bonte Returns

A new Deadlands Noir piece, featuring the voodoo woman from the Hard Boiled in the Big Easy audio thing I made for DLN last year.

Speaking of which (witch?) -- if the posts I'm seeing on Google+ are not part of some elaborate plot, supporters of the Deadlands Noir kickstarter have started getting their reward packages. Including the much desired "Noir Double Action" deck . If you weren't a supporter, (for shame!) - I believe you'll be able to get them  at GenCon or soon afterwards via Pinnacle's website

The Girl Genius Reprint Frenzy

So let me tell you about this - and just leave it at that.

Phil & Kaja Foglio - the people that pay my rent - are trying to fundraise to print the new volume of Girl Genius

It hit the goal on day two - and is now deep into stretch goal territory. Now the focus moves to reprinting older books. Many of the (HUGO award winning) Girl Genius volumes have gone out of print in the last year and with the power of 'stretch goals' we (you and me) can fix that.

The Package

As I opened the package that came today, Maxine saw me pull out a book she had never seen before. 

"BOO-k!" she said excitedly and rushed to get a closer look 

"Yes" I said "a very special book... daddy read this book a LOT growing up."

"Because, when I was your age my mom used to read it to me -- and before that, when MY mom was your age -- her mom, who had the same name as you do, she read it to her..."

"...and now it's my turn to read it to you..."

Cactoid Jim

Sometimes you need to take a break from all the stuff you are supposed to be working on and just make a piece of art for yourself. This is one of those. 

I've been listening to a lot of "Thrilling Adventure Hour" this week. A podcast that has  apparently been around for years, but for some reason no one told me about it.

It's amazing, funny, smart, star-studded, brilliant, gross, and ...from Earth. Had I known about it earlier I would have started a campaign for it to be nominated for a HUGO award. Because it deserves one. Maybe next year.

The show bears a strong likeness to the old timey Girl Genius Radio Theatre podcasts we used to do way back when (ten years ago?) and fill me with a mighty urge to do them again. Adding to them the many other things I've concocted over the years, Doc Einstein: The Quantum Man, the Tesla Rangers, the Adventure Society. Apex :Ape Super Scientist, Chronopol, Silver Spector... and on and on.

My brain holds too much stuff for me to write and draw and get out into the world. Especially on my own. I need cadres- cohorts. Without them I fear I am doomed to watch from the sidelines and think about what might have been. 

 

Leveraging the Hive Mind

Hey all -- so I need to track down a page in the vast Girl Genius backstory and thought I could use some help

Way back when - We saw the first light go on --- When and where in the story did the SECOND light go on?
