Abe Sapien and Wine...

Image
As many of you know (if you don't, you sure know now...) I LOVE WINE!  I am training for my Level 1 Sommelier exam in August and I have decided to create a new Instagram account  - RemyDrinkStuff.  Follow me.   I love geeking out/reviewing wines, and thus far, they have all been affordable and approachable. I also have an Instagram account for my art - RemyDrawStuff.  Oh, and occassionally I post pictures of my cats. And here's a random and yet LARGE drawing of Abe Sapien from Mignola's B.P.R.D.  If you have never sat down and read through Hellboy and the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense comics, I highly suggest/recommend it.  Especially if your a fan of folklore and historical fiction.  I love that stuff, and when ever I can indulge in some creative conspiracy theories and history that "could have been", I don't hesitate. Mike Mignola, Guillermo Del Toro, and Christopher Golden never let me down. Thanks for looking.

The Lost Gods

Image
I am officially a cover artist! I have been working on this project for a little while and now I can announce it: I did the book cover for The Lost Gods by Horace Brickley . He wanted a cover with zombies, and I decided to play around with the idea of a wrap around cover.  He loved it and it took off from there.  He asked me to put all the 'dead' in their burial clothes, and as the project was coming close to it's due date, I had forgotten about the request and drew an Sikh in a turban.  The 'sweater vest' is usually not what they are buried in, so I had to take him out.  In the book cover, he's not in there, but in the original drawing he's there next to the Maori lady.  I tried to vary all the Zombies, a Grecian woman, a Gascon Marque, a modern man in a suit, a Catholic priest, a Mexican señorita, an old 1920's lady with her fox fur wrap, a Pharaoh, a WWII African American nurse (cause I love how they fought the bigots in order to serve their coun...

Dead... and a mohawk

Image
So.  I donated my hair.... and got a mohawk.  And then lived in my hawk for a while, and will be changing it soon.  I guess soon as it grows out... I donated it to kids with cancer: 23 inches. I also disappeared from the internet for 2 years, it was almost like being on another planet.  I had to come back to earth. And get the internet. Haircut. Career change. Internet.  Art yet to come...

1977

Image
I decided to open up a bit of history: Warre's 1977 Vintage Port. It was impulsive (my wine guy called and said I should open it before it starts to spoil) and i should have invited friends over... for I clearly did not realize how good it was going to be. The cork, unfortunately, fell in the bottle and now I can't close it up, and my decanter does not have a stopper. I need more wine friends now that I am learning how to be a Sommelier. I have so many ideas, bottles to share, and vineyards to see. This taste like bliss. I wish more people than myself, and my roommate who refuses to have some ("Leave me alone, I'm on my period!"). I feel like it's a waste. Sadness.
