Well, it has been a long while since last I updated this blog... February. Man, that seems like a lifetime ago! Since then, my partner and I sold 3/4 of our art and belongings, and fled Dallas in a most spectacular fashion on Easter Day. We meandered up the West Coast for awhile with no particular destination, and eventually wound up in Seattle. In short order, we took up residence aboard a WWII-era Navy minesweeper moored on Lake Union, and now 3 months later, I feel as though I'm finally getting my bearings... enough to function, anyway! So, at long last, I dug out my neglected Klaustina files, and set to work on cleaning them up and crafting a new story.
As of my last entry, I was planning (and still plan) on having large-scale prints of some of the images produced for a show, but then... life apparently had alternate plans. When we left Dallas, I was quite disappointed to leave behind my friend Katherine Batiste, who stars in all of the images. Happily, though Katherine made her way out West as well and now lives in Monroe, WA, about 30 miles away. Close, but unfortunately not close enough for the impromptu afternoons of hanging out and drinking that most usually culminated with us "playing Klaustina." Besides, the muses have been pretty sluggish this summer anyway...much to my chagrin!
A couple of days ago while searching for some other files on my computer, I stumbled across the photos from our last two 'red-hot camera sessions' in Dallas, and immediately forgot about the other project I was working on! So, without further ado, I give you my latest vignette from the 'My Daughter Klaustina' series, 'The Last Temptation of Verneece McLeen.'
And, that's what I have so far. I have 2 other panels that I'm still working on, as well as tweaking the color continuity on the preceding panels, so I'll update this post as I finish them. I started working on this post 2 days ago and, as is my tendency, got distracted with work on other Klaustina stories...so, posting this incomplete is probably the best way to keep me focused on finishing!
