I am a novelist and short story writer--but I am a writer who also paints. I work in watercolors and digital formats, sometimes mixing them. Most of my recent artwork has a sea theme, which comes out of my fiction writing over the last three years. There are particular themes I enjoy studying and expressing, the ocean as a source of life and dark forests.

This set features the start of an intense discussion between Kassandra and her grandmother--Kallixene. Even with Ephoros at her back, Kassandra's on thin ice, not certain about which direction to go with her new-found family.

Painting on your iPhone with the Brushes app
Or, as I would have called this post if there was enough room: Nazca's All-Nite Diner, open 24 hours, coffee and good food for all Captains of the Heights, the brave men and women of the Blue Forest Air Corps and East Shadow Dippers. Best pizza this side of the Orn Gulf.

And all painted on an iPhone. Here's the first in a series of tutorials to share some of the things I do when I paint with the Brushes app on the iPhone (everything here also works on iPod Touch). These aren’t in order, although I might consider some more important than others, or maybe a better way to put it: some of these are work-for-me-but-may-no
My first iPhone app in the iTunes App Store!
PhotoStamp, an iPhone app that makes it easy to stamp any image in your Camera Roll with a copyright line, a URL, your name, any custom message. Great if you're uploading your photos to TwitPic, Flickr, SmugMug, etc. It's free. It's in the iTunes App Store.

Novel writing and bowling--like fire and gasoline?
I've been thinking about a physical analogy for the writing process, and here's the sort of lame idea that came to me:
If you bundle the plotting, characterization, everything that goes into writing a novel, then the process looks like this:
You have an infinite (or nearly so) stretch of flat ground in every direction (imagine standing by yourself on the salt flats with no distinguishable features, nothing but blue sky and white sand to the horizon) and an infinite number of bowling balls, as well as a just-in-time manufacturing facility for any color or size bowling ball. You want solid gold with swirls of purple ice? Done.

Chris,
I think our mutual love of mermaids and the sea brought me to your page. Beautiful work! I, too, have a story in my head that ties in all my work, but alas, I'm no writer. But that inner screenplay keep me motivated!
Best of luck to you. I'm definitely a fan and will visit often.
