[Spotlight] Doug Savage’s SAVAGE CHICKENS
So, in coming up with a spotlight post this week, I’ve decided on Doug Savage’s daily comic, Savage Chickens. This is one of the comics I read every morning. Savage Chickens is drawn on post-its and illustrate life…corporate, writing, and all around…life in ways that hit way too close to home sometimes. Which is why […]
[Spotlight Post] Allen Williams
Look at me, doing my Spotlight before I hit the road for ApolloCon. Lesson learned. Typing on an iPhone while Jimmy hurtles us through the countryside at 80MPH is not an ideal situation (though it made part of the drive go faster). This time I’ll have distractions–Julia Mandala. This week I’m featuring an artist is […]
[Spotlight Post] Peri Charlifu
So it’s Friday, and I’m heading to SoonerCon–and realized I hadn’t done a Spitlight post. So while Jimmy drives, I am typing his on my phone. Sorry about typos and stuff. This will be bare bones. One of the artists who will be at SoonerCon is Peri Charlifu. If you do SF conventions and been […]
[Spotlight Post] Shanna Swendson and the Enchanted Series
This week’s spotlight is on Shanna Swendson, a fellow Dallas/Fort Worth author, FenCon Staff Member, and fangirl. If it weren’t for Shanna and our friends, Todd and Sam, I would have never discovered Phineas and Ferb (it’s all their fault). Though I’ve mentioned her work before in blog posts, it’s been quite a while, and […]
[Spotlight Post] Queen Anne’s Lace
This weekend heralds the final weekend of the Scarborough Renaissance Festival. In honor of this, I’m featuring one of the staple acts–Queen Anne’s Lace. Queen Anne’s Lace (QAL) is a female a Capella singing group that not only has tight vocal harmonies, but also great humor and bigger hearts. And in the last weekend of […]
[Spotlight Post] Stewart Copeland
Last month (April) I indulged myself by taking a Friday afternoon “off” and trekking into Dallas to the SMU campus for the end of Stewart Copeland’s 3-day music residency. Copeland indulged students, faculty, and general public fans (like me and many others) in an almost 2-hour Interview/Q&A session. For those who aren’t as familiar with […]
[Spotlight Post] Bob the Squirrel and Frank Page
Today’s spotlight is one of my favorite daily comic strips–and it’s creator. I adore Bob the Squirrel. This is a daily strip by Frank Page that shows Page’s life as a cartoonist with snarky commentary by a talking squirrel, Bob. Bob is fantastic. He is, in fact, the only squirrel I actually like (probably because […]
[Spotlight Post] Amber Benson and the Calliope Reaper-Jones Novel Series
This week’s spotlight is on an author whose work I admire-whether it’s her written work or her performances. She is a very talented entertainer, and I look forward to meeting her one day. Today, I spotlight Amber Benson and her Calliope Reaper-Jones series. [asa]0441016944[/asa] Some authors don’t read books that are similar in tone or […]
