hey! We went crazy last weekend, and hung all sorts of things up. 4 little asian kanji tiles with the seasons on them in our living room. Also, a french poster ‘The Chat Noir’

over our mantel. We also put some picture frames with pictures on our mantel.

3 big French comic posters by Schuttin, and a framed Lord of the Rings Ilustration in our dining room.

And! We put some oriental prints, one geisha and one leaping fish, in our pocket bathroom on the main level.

We also put 3 french/italian medium sized vintage posters in our kitchen.

Our apartment looks so much different now, the blank walls are gone and our new asian-franco-illustration fusion is all over the walls. whee. Most of the main level has things on the wall, I should take some pictures to share.

That leaves the upstairs, we need to outfit things up there as well.
I need to put all sorts of posters and original art up in my art room. I can’t wait to go in there and be surrounded by inspiring art.

Pages 13 and 14 thumbnailed:
Ooh, heading into the final stretch to halfway, and the end of issue two. (yes, small issues 8 pages a piece)

I got two pages thumbnailed last night, in not too long of time. It looks like we’ll have plenty of space for dialog, and some fun emotional poses. Aiming for an extreme forshortening in panel 2 of page 13. Hope to pull that off. This comic is really all about experimentation, and you can see that I’ve learned a lot in 3 years.

Hoping to have these(and 15 and 16) finished by the end of August.

Also, have officially decided to yes, participate in Nanowrimo this year. I have recently finished outlining my book from 2 years ago, and am heading into serious editing/rewriting as well.

dear internet diary,
9:17am, and I am weeping already. The funeral home has this video tribute thing they make for the funeral, and also put online. Of course, I had to click it, it’s beautiful.

http://videos.yourtribute.com/viewtribute.asp?fh=allfaithfh&mv=Mast.html

you can watch it too, it features many pictures of my father, and his family, which flip through to Josh Groban’s music. Some of the pictures include me when I was about 10 years old.

love,
stacie

The day before my father died, after we did all we could at the hospice, my brother and husband and I went to see Batman Begins.

We loved it, of course. Sounds like many people online are in agreement.
I am surprised though, that no one has mentioned how man-pretty the scarecrow was.

We also picked up my bridesmaid dress for , and it was a lot prettier in person, and fit pretty well. I took a picture to show her later.

The day my father died, Lea called me from texas, and we chatted for a while, before I finally went to sleep around 2am. It was a lovely surprise, and will be a dear thing to remember. We talked about death, life, art and children, and tears like large kittens rolling down my face.

The day after my father died was Father’s day, and while I felt no specific compulsion to mourn the day, I did have a hard time missing my father. I drew a copic fish for my grandpa, to symbolize the fishing license my mom and here sister were buying him. We ate all that food that I had ordered from Ohio for my father. The ribs were wonderful, tender and with a sweet sauce, the skyline chili was awesome over the spagetti, and the Graeter’s icecream was fantastic, especially the raspberry chocolate chip. The ice cream was a dark purple, and had large chunks of darker chocolate inside, fantastic.

Yesterday, we finalized things with the funeral home, http://www.866allfaiths.com , and ordered some flowers for the casket. (tropical leaves, bamboo, delphiniums, bells, purple heather, and yellow star shaped flowers). I also, finally finished outlining my book, Shroud. Now the rewrite! Then Becca did my hair, my hair is now dark red, and feathered a bit around my face.

Today, we plan on shopping for appropriate clothing for the marathon visitation tomorrow night. (2-4, 6-8) and for the funeral(thursday 10-12). My mother has decided, we will not wear black.

There is much sadness, but not too much regret, we got a lot of closure. The biggest pain is of course, the ongoing absence of such a fantastic, well-read, compassionate man that was my father. The obituary we wrote is online here : http://www.866allfaiths.com/obituary.aspx?MemberId=8922
Also, family is starting to arrive, my cousin Abby will be here at 2.

My father died this morning at 11:12, in the beautiful hospice. Perhaps I will write more details later, but we had a very special time, and were able to say goodbye. He had us come in one by one, yesterday, and shared how much we meant to him.

I’ll be around online, ect this week, but am taking the week off of work. Funeral is thursday, visitation wednesday.

I love you Daddy.
