I've fixed the analysis to reflect that. :) Scott Elaine Lee just pointed out to me that Michael did the inks on the main stories while you’ve done the Galactic Girl Guide stories.

I thought I'd point you to a deconstruction of a Starstruck page that I just posted, assuming you have the time and inclination to read such things: http://sequentialscott.deviantart.com/journal/27453387/ Must have been a fun project to ink - I wasn't familiar with it in its earlier versions, but I'm enjoying this round so far. Take care, Scott McD. Hi Charles,

Congratulations on making it through the painting marathon.

I thought I’d point you to a deconstruction of a Starstruck page that I just posted, assuming you have the time and inclination to read such things:

Must have been a fun project to ink – I wasn’t familiar with it in its earlier versions, but I’m enjoying this round so far.

Take care,

Scott McD.

Today I was reaching for some change and there it was. Now the Faerie King has an bracelet made of small acorns around his wrist. The 'other' studio is a space dedicated to producing a new piece of art all for myself. The piece in question is a scene set amongst standing stones, lite by a crescent moon with the King and Queen surrounded by a horde of cavorting fairy folk all on a sheet of 4 x 8ft watercolor paper! Hope to have it ready for display come FaerieCon time. Charles Shane,

Coming in a little late to congratulate you, but all the same. That is an awesome accomplishment. You must have painted like a storm! Any giant acorns in those painting? ;-) I have been meaning to blog about Instructions myself. I plan on doing a dramatic reading of it in front of my booth at MD RennFest. Which I hope you two come visit some day, I think you will be surprised. Looking forward to seeing you at FaerieCon. Give our best to Karen. Congrats again, Kubiando! Whooo Hooo!

I believe I was at a convention in Birminghan UK around then and most probably drew it then.

Here is a scan: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryPiece.asp?Piece=557775&GSub=59990&GCat=0&UCat=0 or http://cafurl.com?i=13388 It might have been from a convention in the UK in 1986. Thanks in advance if you can offer any hints! Regards, Malvin Hello Charles,

I never mind seeing them on people. Just so long as the image isn't used for a commercial purpose, okay? The wee creature was originally drawn for a set of Stardust fridge magnets. There were two such sets, with 3 major characters and an extra beastie or fairy in each. He was included in Set #1 and was colored a wine red for that occassion. Enjoy! Charles Melanie,

I wanted to ask you a question or two regarding Stardust. Sorry if you get a lot of these... I have the paperback collection, and I really love the little creature drawn in a circle on the second page. It also appears in your website on the appearances page next to the home button. I was wondering a) is the creature a logo? and b) if not, would you give me permission to get a tattoo of it? Also, is there a story behind it? I've been searching for something like this for a while :-) I would really appreciate if you could e-mail me at: melanie.koehler[at]gmail.com melanie Hello Charles,
