-Walt WhitmanThey have their worries, they’re counting the miles, they’re thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they’ll get there—and all the time they’ll get there anyway, you see.

Thank you for the comment on my poems. It means a lot, coming from one of your own rare talents.Originally Posted by Janine
Pendragon, what nice compliments.I need inspiration - I have lost touch with the art field and most importantly, my own work. I need to re-emerse myself in it, or try to do small projects like this one again. I have others you will like even more. This actually is not my favorite, but is my Christmas card, so it applies to now.
Sometimes we lose faith in ourselves. You can all probably relate, as all writers/artists can. We are not so different....we are all sensitive and observant of life, nature, beauty, etc. This site is putting me back "in touch" with people who think like me and my true self, and I am grateful. After Christmas I hope to make up a blog of my artwork. I have so much I can show, but need better photos or scans of some. The lit net will be my vehicle to have a one man/woman show, right?
Pen, I enjoy your poems - so personal to the people on here. That is really nice. You are their beloved Uncle.
I like being just "Janine" and "tiny poetess" is cute, since mostly I have posted Haiku's and some short simplistic poems, so far. I am tiny, too, just 5'.
Your self portrait photo I saw in the your post before. Such an inquisitive look. So what is with the pipe - just for effect like Sherlock Holmes or what? I read that you said you don't smoke it really. You are funny!
As to the pipes. I collect some, oddly shaped ones are my favorites, but of course I have my Holmes and Gandalf pipes. I quit smoking years ago, thank God, and the pipes have not been lit, the meerchems still pure white. I hold them in my mouth to help me think as I write. I write short mysteries for John Olsen's The Shadow Magazine in Review Website where we keep alive the pulp magazine/OTR character "The Shadow". I have published about 35. You may find some in the bad pages of the Brainteasers Thread under games. I have a short story posted on the pulp characters, if you'd like to read it. Click the link at the bottom. Keep up the fine art and poetry! Pen.

Tend, Thanks so much! A friend of mine made me a blog, but I never added to it. It is just a photo of me from awhile ago and something short about me being an artist and then a few photos of my artwork I sent to him via internet. Sadly, I could not figure out the formatting and the photos needed to be reshot or scanned, and I put it off. I will look into it after the holidays. I hope to make a better one on this site and maybe the Yahoo site as well. It will be a challenge and fun! Time to get back out into the art world. Too much time has lapsed. I did not think my work would hold up on the computer but so far I have had good results. Thanks so much for your compliments. 4 intense years of study at a notable art college apparently did pay off.
I sent this Christmas card through the mail many years back and have some copies left, but now the cabinet where I have them stored is jammed and I can't get it open presently. I suppose this can entice everyone to see my other stuff and hopefully will inspire me. I need that - all artists do.

Pen - thank you again - I don't know if I have rare talents. I gave up trying to sell my work years ago although I got good responses and some did sell. I now look at it now as expression to please myself. I thought it was so nice that you made up poems directly personal to the people on here. Real sweet of you.Thank you for the comment on my poems. It means a lot, coming from one of your own rare talents.

Interesting collection - pipes. I have had a few, selling antiques, but nothing as exotic as you mention. A Gandaff pipe would be so cool and a Holmes pipe - great! Glad to hear the pipe is but an ornament and not an addiction. Better for your health. Good for you quiting!
I have heard of "The Shadow" - wasn't that an old radio broadcast? (of course I am not that old) I will check out the links you have provided. They sound interesting. Thanks and you keep up your good work of creativity and writing, too!

Ok Lainy, can you explain this photo to us.

...her right hand went away!!
Still looking lovely, though, Lain. Peculiar limb situation notwithstanding.

Hey Janine! Obviously, you haven't seen the other photo that was similar to this that I posted a week back (it was also during the Philippine Fashion Week); and Maddie said that my left arm was nowhere to be located! So I posted this photo to prove to Mads that indeed, my left arm exists and that I'm no alien.
Thanks Rob, and...uhh...now that you've mentioned it....hmmm...I see...seems like my two arms refuse to be visible at the same time!

A very nice pose...I'll have to agree with Robin, where's your right hand??
The Baddie of LitNet has just complimented me! *hides the boxing gloves away*
My arms are camera-shy...

And when have you not had mine?
My brother is actually thinking of joining the forum just because fo your poem. I said "No! The people there only talk about books!" and then he says, "How come Uncle Pendragon has written a poem for me? It's not a book."
I rest my case.
