dreamling

We are not so far as the heart flies.
The miles may bend and warp
Between us.

But, just now we spoke
Without words, without sound
Our souls calling out,
Resonating.

You may traverse continents,
Adventure beyond the reaches
of our technology,
Hide your face in a audience of
actors all alike,
Throw your form far beyond the planets
in our sweet solar system.

We can be apart in every way but this:

Hearts fly.
In quantum beats,
In quasar pulses,
In steady percussion.
Having no concept of miles or meters.

Hearts meet,
And we are together
Once more.

I may miss your smile,
Your face, your laughter,
But I cannot miss your soul.

Our steady communion
comforts pain, shares sorrow
Imparts joy, bolsters confidences
punctuates a creative life,
Just as close as being by your side.

So, we are fortunate, and glad,
And not so far as the heart flies.

I'm heading into the home stretch to complete a Tabloid Roulette Trade, and want to add pinups/fanart in a variety of styles. I'm looking for black and white with or without tones, and PG rated for this book.

Send something pretty for the book, and you'll get your pinup posted in the book with attribution, and a url of your choice.

Also, I'd love to run your lovely pinups on the Studio Anti Thesis Site when we re-run the entire book with the updates, so you'd also get your name and url posted when that goes live there.

Please reply if you'd be willing to do a pinup of any/all Tabloid Roulette Characters

Check out my remix of issue one with refreshed art/charas too

I've come a long way in 4-5 years, and Kim and I are celebrating by collecting all the pages into one book, and giving the first issue some much needed love, as well as making a final pass at editing the text.

Once again, the deadline is next week, so we can make sure things get back from the printers in time for ACEN

Much luv,
Thanks in advance,
Stacie

We're heading towards the end of 2008, which is, I'd say, my second most difficult year personally in my life. Topped only by the year my Dad died of cancer.

Sigh.

Not dropping art though, I'm arting, working towards a Kickss Tabloid Roulette Trade to be available at next year for ACEN (and on the website.)
