She’s now a published author

Nefarious wrote her first “book” today, based on Frog and Toad. It goes like this:

Translation:

1. “frog and tod / bi ari”
(Frog and Toad / By Ari)

2. “frog and tod gow to the prc”
(Frog and Toad go to the park.)

3. “tod goz to the prc and plaz”
(Toad goes to the park and plays.)

4. “frog wz wochin tod”
(Frog was watching Toad.)

We took the pages she made and I reprinted them at 1/4 size and bound them into a little book, which she then read to her dolls (cutest scene ever). The calendar by the way is a daily x-off until Halloween.

I did a little work on my Uilenspiegel painting as well. This is the base colour. It’ll be touched up of course, but the big change is that it’ll all be lined in the final stage which is what really brings it out. I have high hopes for this particular painting and think it’s going quite well so far.

We’re all prepped for tomorrow’s zombie walk (watch out)… click the flier below to visit the official site. Caitlin (who will be the primary makeup artist) I think is going as a walking autopsied corpse, Nefarious is a princess party zombie with an extra eyeball, and I’m going with gouged out eyes and a wide stitched up wound. I’ll post photos tomorrow evening.

    [...] you already know, tomorrow is the big zombie walk here in Toronto. I’d never even heard of it until last year, [...]

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
