BLUE ROO - The Book, The Stickers, The Video!

BLUE ROO - The Book, The Stickers, The Video!

Seeing piles of my brand new books gets me very excited! There are only 5 more days for this Kickstarter and it is still... a bit of a stretch... to meet the goal. And the goal is to cover the cost of printing these amazing books! I thought I would

They grow up so fast?!

They grow up so fast?!

While every other parent was taking pics of their kids going back to school (my kid is never with me for the first day of school - gotta love a parenting plan written over a decade ago and never updated) - I was teary-eyed over my puppy who is now

Dear Diary, despite my attempts, the dog has returned...

Dear Diary, despite my attempts, the dog has returned...

The Kid and I took advantage of our last few days of Vacation (from the puppy). One evening, we drove up to Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, VT for Members' Night. Food trucks!! We had delicious Munchie-Rollz - like egg rolls but with all kinds of things inside, and

3/1/23 • Good Thing That Happened, Part Two

Oops, fell behind again. These Anxiety-Depression Attacks are kind of like a neurotypical person getting the flu. They knock me out and leave me so exhausted and then feeling like I have to run to catch up! So I told you about the puppy I'll be getting in April, the

GOrillas! on the Move!

Today I had the perfect kind of social interaction day! Sue Matott, the children's librarian at the Pillsbury Free Library - (our local library here in Warner, NH) - chose my book, Ready, Set, GOrilla! for Storytime! [Book Info: "Ready, Set, GOrilla!" - written by Melissa Stoller, and illustrated by

Mother of GOrillas

I got the coolest gift from Melissa Stoller - the author of Ready, Set, GOrilla! Melissa had adopted a (real) gorilla in my name! I had been concerned at first - where would he live? My house is bursting at the seams with extra people and dogs. And then, what

Coloring Sheets!

We did a craft fair this past weekend and kept ourselves busy... coloring! ...and annoying my kid... But it also reminded me that I needed to add the coloring pages to my web site. So I did. If you'd like to pay me for the coloring sheets, click HERE. (Hey,

Happy BOOK Birthday, "Ready, Set, GOrilla!"

Today is THE day! The BIRTH of Ready, Set, GOrilla! written by Melissa Stoller, illustrated by (ME!) Sandy Steen Bartholomew, and published by Spork/Clear Fork Publishing. I am SO excited, but I don't know what to do with my energy - just wandering around the Studio thinking how hungry

A Quick Visit to the Graveyard

I promised her I'd come back to visit with my daughter... We have always celebrated my Grandmother's Birthday in the graveyard, with chocolate cake, but this year I went alone. I brought cake. But it didn't taste as good. I felt so sad. For the first time. I always feel

A Mix of Stuff

If you'd like to see the latest photos of progress on the new Studio space, take a look at The BeeHive website HERE. The rest of April is going to be quite a blur! I'm in the process of selling the Wingdoodle building, finishing cleaning it out, setting up the

Movin' On Up!

One of those kind of bittersweet sort of days... I'm glad I didn't have to do this alone - my awesome kid actually made it fun. I had cleared out my little studio a couple of days ago - but today I had to go and - GASP - wash

Bumpity Bump-Bump, Look-it Frosty Go!

This is me lately... You just KNOW that when it warms up around here, for real, that is going to be one truly disgusting pumpkin! Sunday... I was walking through my house and stopped to give Minou a snuffle. When - WHA!!!! I saw The Fireman building a Snowman outside

Drawing with Kids - Apply as Needed

Yesterday was the first time in years that it did not snow on the day of my Dad's Winter Family Get-Together! I actually got to drive down to Massachusetts with my daughter and The Fireman and see folks I haven't seen in ages. And to top it off - my

Gory Daze Parade in WRJ

The Gory Daze Parade in White River Junction has become a tradition for me and my daughter. Walking around in the dark with a thousand other freaks - many who GLOW! - is my idea of the best halloween ever! This weird musical instrument runs on FIRE! It's very very

Back to WRJ

Lilah and I lucked out with the first sunny day in a week as we headed up to White River Junction for a mini-escape. We spent most of the day at the Montshire Museum of Science - there's a new exhibit about the engineering inside toys. Before the sun disappeared,

Granite State Comicon

The perfect end to my birthday week! Lilah and I drooled over the coolest comic related STUFF and original art and costumes and and and.... Lilah and I were both crazy about the work of Christopher Uminga! We had a lot of trouble deciding which prints to get, but Lilah

What the Quo Vadis!?

It's getting near to the end of this blog's run... graduation from CCS is this Saturday! But there's so much going on, I have trouble keeping UP! I went home this weekend to see Lilah's performance in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She was the Narrator and an

Thesis Stuff

Feels like I have mostly been doing "homework", going to meetings and classes, and working (very late at night) on the science kits for the Montshire Museum... but I HAVE been doing some work on my Thesis. If you follow my comics, either here on the Glyphs & Glitches Comic blog

October 18, 2016

Before I show you what I'm working on that is making me stay up way too late at night... Let's start with some more normal stuff? 1. Minou, the studio cat. As you see, she is trying to prevent me from working on the computer. And, yes, she IS sitting

Cartoon Camp

The Kid just finished two weeks of Cartoon Camp at The Center for Cartoon Studies. The camp was run by three of the recently graduated students - Kane, Kota, and Kelly. They did an incredible job with the kids - developing characters, setting the scene and producing an anthology each

Two Great Weeks with The Kid

Lilah and I spent two weeks at the apartment in White River Junction while she did Cartoon Camp at The Center for Cartoon Studies. The camp only went until noon, so in the afternoons we... ... hiked down into Quechee Gorge... and dangled our feet in the Ottauquechee river... ... explored local

Take a Spin

It's nice having Minou and Lilah back up here in White River Junction with me! Minou, the cat, has been living at my house for a few months now and I hadn't realized how much I had missed her company here at the apartment. And, I'm not sure why, but

Kids Con New England

Saturday, Lilah and I tabled and taught at Kids Con New England in Concord, NH. Our first Comic Book Show as artist/vendors! It was an incredibly long day (9am-6pm), but we met lots of cool people and it was very exciting. Superheroes everywhere... And lots of Star Wars costumes.

First Year - That's All Folks!

Wow - it's all over but for the shouting! That comes tonight with the graduation ceremony for the Seniors at Northern Stage and then the Block Party tomorrow. If you are in the area - be sure to come to the Block Party! Ed Koren will be there, free comic
