| Notes from the Electric Easel |
| This month brought us several new artists and some returning favorites! I wanted to comment on Home Sick by Justin Hill. When I first saw this submission, I was moved by the feeling of being so alone and lonely of missing the familiar and safe environment of home. We have all been in a place where we did not have loved ones or anything to relate to. It was obvious this piece of art was destined to be the cover. Now for another take on being away from home! Wilddeej, or in mundane terms Jim Howard's My Grad Party, was a close second to getting this months cover. He did indeed capture the wild freedom of being away from home and doing what is the most exciting part of school.... PARTY! Yea! I just love this whimsical play on the day that many students can't wait for. So be sure to check out the close up and live vicariously through these carefree kids! Returning artist Marianne Gillard gives us a new look in 'The Nursery'! I think that the real "Alien" created in the Gieger has to be one of the most memorable creatures ever conceived! And speak of conceiving! This nursery is brimming with little monsters.... Yeah, I did something... she is not really pleased to be the Reluctant Guest. But hey some people (*or creatures) have different ideas about hospitality.... Our newest artist is Hawk Shango. A talented person that has a real feel for Science Fiction and the way it projects into the future. |
