Halloweeniversary

Today is our anniversary, we've been married 22 years!

Mr. Wibbley & me

Since tonight was spent taking Violet trick-or-treating, we'll be celebrating tomorrow by going to the Chiller Theatre Convention (the pic above was taken at the last one in April). I don't bother getting autographs (other than Adam West last year at Dragon*Con) but it's fun seeing the celebrities - this year Patrick Stewart will be there (although I'll pass on the $100 photo op)!

"Hey Lunchbox, wait for me!!"

Ben Cooper Lunchbox

Ben Cooper Lunchbox

Poor Lunchbox is out for his first Trick or Treat, but he doesn’t have a clue as to what he’s supposed to do! He’s heard from the Forest Folk that he can get candy, but doesn’t realize that he has to knock on doors and say “TRICK OR TREAT” to get it! Fortunately that pumpkin over there looks like a decent sort, I bet he’ll give Lunchbox the scoop. Oh and how about that ghost? oooooh, scary stuff!

BTW, don’t you just love Lunchbox’s Ben Cooper “Lunchbox” costume? When he saw it in the store, Lunchbox thought the character looked familiar but couldn’t quite place him, he thinks it’s a fantastic costume, and it is! No one will know it’s you, Lunchbox I promise! I’m not worried for Lunchbox though, because when you’ve got your lunch-pail and your diaper, at the end of the day what more do any of us really need?

Birds and Bees

I apologize for being so negligent about posting here!

Here's my latest Nibblefest entry -

"I'm Sorry (jr.)"

Why do bad things happen to good ostriches??

OK, I know Beeie didn’t mean to sting Ostrie and is truly sorry for it, but that sting sure looks like it smarts - Ouch! On the other hand, Ostrie is known for being a bit of a drama queen - some of you may remember his desperate attempts to stop the insanity during that bloodbath of a boxing match in the original “I’m Sorry” painting (or maybe not) so who knows? The truth probably lies somewhere in-between. But you know what? This is Wibbley World, and in Wibbley World, a heartfelt apology goes a long way. I’m sure these two will be great friends again in no time.

ACEO Prints!

I've been making ACEO prints of some of my previously sold paintings, I've made about 24 so far but am listing them in smaller groups. If there are any of my paintings which you'd like to see made into ACEO's, please let me know!

Here's a pic of some of them, please excuse the poor photography, it's late & I had to use the flash:

(click on image to go to my listing page)

On the back I have the title of the painting as well a gratuitous pic of Lunchbox!

I'm also working on some other projects including those little scrabble tile charms and am getting back into colored pencil. Hopefully I'll have something to post soon!

Greyness and Bones

Here's Greyness - remember him? Sparky's friend?

And here's Mr. Bones (Terrace R. Bones) our first Boston Terrier who was a huge inspiration for the Wibbles. He still checks in with us every now & then from beyond.

Lunchbox, Lost in the Dark

Lunchbox,
Lost in the Dark

Poor Lunchbox, he just can’t ever seem to get it right. Once again our hero finds himself (you guessed it) LOST, this time in the dark.

“But Lunchbox has a flashlight!” you say. Well that would help, IF he understood how to use it.

Yes it’s dark and spooky. Yes, bats could come swooping down at any second and get caught in his hair. Yes, he might walk head-on into a giant spider nest. But Lunchbox doesn’t mind - because at the end of the day, when you’ve got your lunchpail and your diaper, what more do you really need?

This is another installment in my "Lunchbox Gets Lost" series, featuring a hopelessly naive diaper-wearin, lunchpail-totin chipmunk named Lunchbox.
