Want More Shadowhunter Runes Made?

To show thanks for your interest in my Runic Tattoos I’m posing a question. Cassie wants to create a new set of Runes for The Infernal Devices series. She’s requested a small set of 2 or 3 but it’s not enough. I need 10 more for a Full Sheet of Flash!

So I’d like to hear what you’ve got to suggest; Understand that

  1. Singular words only
  2. Commands are acceptable [Direction as well as Inflection]
  3. and no Names.

So put Brain-Boxes to the On & Upright position?

If you were a Shadowhunter what rune would you need most to survive?

A jewelry designer contacted Cassie a while ago about doing a limited edition run of rings, necklaces and wrist cuffs based on the Mortal Instruments, so we gave her the go ahead and she opened an Etsy shop: www.hebelmet.etsy.com Cassie and I turned down getting any portion of the proceeds in favor of them going a charity (Reading Is Fundamental, which is a literacy program for children). :D I am so getting me a pendant. Awesome fans are just AWESOME! x

Also, I’m open to the suggestion of themes. With 2009 nearing it’s implosive end, I’m searching for ideas for what to put on a 2010 calender….. I know I’m being really abrupt but I can only take requests till Friday. That’s when the phone & cable guys are transferring things to the new place.^^;

Ah, Sing it Sheldon!
/via jonwithabullet/ Friday my website was reported for having malware and disappeared for a bit, which although not being true, scared the crap out of me. Fixed now. Breathing easier, finally.

Just got this in one of the coolest e-mails from a fan, just about, ever! from jimmygreenIf anyone, anywhere, does anything nearly as cool as getting my designs tattooed on them, PLEASE share. Stuck. Sort of speechless. In grinning power-crazed creative amusement here. And I could really get used to it.

SketchBlog on Tumblr! »

So, for various reason but mostly to spite my carpal tunnel’s, I’m now keeping a Sketch Blog! :boogie:

bhanesidhe.tumblr.com


I unearthed a crap load of old sketchbooks, scanned them, uploaded and backdated them, so there are some things that are also in the scrap section but A LOT that isn’t/won’t be.

Weekend of May 1-3, 2009

Weekend of May 1-3, 2009 - was Free Comic Book Day. Free Comic Book Day,FCHS Signing

In contrast to Kids ComicCon, I expected no children and 4 turned up, (unless we [info]tier_luren & [info]syndara then the number jumps to 12). We turned up early @ Jim Hanely’s Universe for the FCHS signing (with Author: Vito & Artist: Ronnie), wherein the game was how many ways can you make a cousin snort/laugh before her adoring public.

Answer: Three.

Saturday Also Featured:

  • Monsters Vs. Alien in 3D & Vertigo :D
  • Secret Breakfasts in SEEKRIT!! (w/ Rachel “Ronnie” Freire*)
  • *not to be confused with Rach “Faery” Freire/ who was doing her winningest @ Alternative Miss World that weekend. Congratuwelldone!
  • Another Secret rendezvous (w/ Cousin Ronnie, plus Cousin Elise) only this time, Adventureland!

Sunday Featured:

  • Rained out Picnics Tour of the Epic Green-Wood Cemetery.
  • Guided by a bemused [info]oneangryrabbit
  • Rum tasting with [info]calloocallay (special guest star [info]soupkills as “Comatose Guy”)
  • and a Mausoleum for the Family “Cavemeister”, crazy Pyramid feat. Jesus & Baby-Eating Sphinx, not to mention the equally Narcissistic and Gratuitous gravesite of one “Gabe Gabriel”.
  • Also, lots and lots of rain.

Weekend of April 24-26, 2009

2009 Kids ComicCon - Dave & Raina
Weekend of April 24-26, 2009 - Was Kids Comiccon. We started out the day with upward of 7 kids and ended up with 2 (unless you count [info]tier_luren, then it felt more like 5.)

Aria (Niece, Age 7) had a bad cold but insisted on attending. Of course, she fell asleep during [info]goraina & [info]yaytime’s panel, but I’m sure that was the fever and not a judgment on her part.

She did wake up in time to demand Chibi’s!2009 Kids ComicCon

Other Notables:

  • randomly getting the Nick Magazine [info]ali_wildgoose wrote Avatar stuffs for ^_^
  • Running into Lil Cousin ‘Ronnie’ @ Surprise!Jim Hanley booth =^__^=
