Illustration Friday: "Monster"

The drawing above is for Illustration Friday. This week's topic: "Monster." I used Corel Painter 8 tools: Croquil Pen, Gouache, Thick Oils, F/X: Shatter & Fairydust effects. Jeff's getting me the Corel Painter 9.5 upgrade for my birthday, woohoo!

Had a good practice with Allison and Jodi last night. Worked on our concert set for next weekend, but also on a couple of Chris Conway's songs. Turns out he asked us ages ago, but Jodi never got the e-mail! Chris Conway's concert is at 8:30-9:30 pm on Saturday, April 1st at FilKONtario; Chris is the Guest of Honour.

Speaking of FilKONtario guests....



Just found out that Tanya Huff's "Blood" novels are going to be turned into a tv series!

From a CHUM Television press release:

"Blood Ties is based on Tanya Huff's internationally popular 'Blood; novels. When her latest love interest turns out to be a 450-year-old vampire and the caseload of her fledgling P.I. agency shifts from fraud artists and cheating spouses to battles with ghosts, ghouls, zombies and demons, ex-police detective Vicki Nelson realizes that her life will never be the same. The series will be produced by Kaleidoscope Entertainment and goes into production later this summer."

Apparently the head writer is Peter Mohan who has worked on Due South, Eerie Indiana, Relic Hunter, La Femme Nikita, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Top Cops and Highlander among other shows. How very cool; I'm a big fan of Tanya's Blood series.

Tanya is the Filk Waif (Toastmaster) at next weekend's FilKONtario, by the way, and her concert is at 1:15 pm on the Saturday.

Only one week until FKO! Looking forward to seeing Sibylle Machat this evening; she's flying in from Germany today.
