A Brace of Hobbits

I'm heading off to a convention in London in the middle of August. It's called For the Love of Fantasy, and it's one of those multi-fandom affairs, and for once I'm not actually going for the Supernatural guests, It's not that I don't love seeing them, but just once I thought I'd have a bit of variety, so I'm having a Lord of the Rings weekend.

I'm going to get up close and personal with four hobbits and Gandalf!

So, I've been cracking on with some artwork for hobbit autos, and so far I have a brace of hobbits - otherwise known and Samwise Gamgee and Mister Frodo !

A(nother) gay conversation with myself

Me1: What is going on here?

Me2: It’s “The Adoration” by Fra Angelico.

Me1: The Blessed Virgin Mary looks bored, like she always does in these things.

Me2: I don’t know. I think she looks irritated. I mean, she JUST gave birth to him a few days ago, and is probably looking for some peace and quiet…

Me1: And a Conga line breaks out….

Me2: Exactly. Especially since this looks like the beginnings of an ancient rave.

Me1: Were the Magi just

Me2: I mean, maybe. We’ve seen it before, though. Remember at the Cloisters?

Me1: Hmmm… oh, yeah, the statues…

Me2: Exactly, they were clearly dancing or at least posing.

Me1: Can you imagine? Like the Archangel Gabriel arrives and says “Behold the Baby Jesus! Now, VOGUE! Strike that pose!”

Me2: So.. SOME kind of party broke at the Adoration of the Magi. The dance off doesn’t seem to appear in the Gospels.

Me1: I mean, they brought gifts. It only makes sense.

Me2: I suppose.

rabbits

Happy Gotcha day!

Four years ago we set off on a 160 mile round trip in pouring rain to collect our two little treasures from a rabbit rescue shelter.

Since then they have grown from the adorable, teeny-tiny little kits we adopted into the walloping great chonkers we know and love today!

Happy Gotcha Day Juniper and Nutmeg!! ❤️❤️

Jensen time - shower scene special

I don't know who among you has been watching Countdown, Jensen's new show, but there was one scene that caught my eye...

As if you're surprised!

But throughout Jensen's career there has been a theme...

That man knows how to shower!

Case in point - Eric Brady of DOOL (or should I say DROOL)
