♥ Artists ♥

I'm a Painter, yes, but not a painter.

You know that question at parties that goes "what's one talent you'd wish for?" I'd love to draw and paint. Because, truly, I can barely squelch out a stick figure. I can glue things to other things but that's about the extent of my visual arts abilities.

If I had talent in the drawing arena "Wilfair" might have been a graphic novel. Or I would have illustrated a lot of it. Yes, meeting the Overboves would have been illustration numero uno. But there's so much I'd like to show from the books. The Moonbeam Threshold and Fair's chair and a certain window in a certain mountain bar. The Innigma and the Yuletidery and Lodge Under Ocean.

So I've asked a few artists I admire to take on a few of the elements for me; Fair and her mint dish below and the poster of the pool on the right rail are the first two. I'm thrilled.

I've revealed there'll be a "Redwoodian" poster by Claudia Varosio down the road, and a "Stay Awhile" one, too, I hope, and I already know exactly what I want depicted on that one. It's a brow-dampener, literally.

What's the one talent you'd wish for?
