Happy Barricade Days, everyone!
I know I haven't been on here much in the past few months, and I probably won't be around much in the next few months either, because my dissertation is in high gear now, and that shit is due in March, so I've gotta get working! I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone for all their lovely comments and well-wishes, and I only wish I had time to chat with every one of you!! I hope to post a few little pieces of art tomorrow in honor of the Les Mis holiday, so keep an eye out for that...
Also, completely off-topic, but I just wanted to take a moment and put in a word for a show that blew my mind last week: the "Pippin" revival on Broadway. For any of you who might be visiting the NYC area soon, oh my GOD, go see this show! For those of you already in the NYC area, WHATTHEHELLAREYOUWAITINGFOR, GO SEE THIS SHOW NOW!!! Go see it before it wins all the Tonys and you can't get a damn seat! Whew, glad I got that out of my system. But seriously, oh my God, what a wonderful show, fabulous staging, fabulous orchestrations, fabulous casting, and fabulous acrobatics! It's really stuff you can't see anywhere else on Broadway right now, unique and beautiful. I'm not the hugest fan of the original show itself (not the hugest fan of Stephen Schwartz in general, got to admit), but this stuff is so beyond that. It's spectacle, it's something for everyone, it's larger than life, and it surpasses its own source material (in fact, it made me actually give a shit about the source material...). In all the Broadway shows I've ever been to, I've never seen an audience go nuts for anything like this--whooping and hollering like a rock concert! (Also, I'm not into women, but just thought I should point out that yes, Patina Miller is a sex goddess.
) So yeah, there's my recommendation, but I should also warn you that this production is like a roller coaster--as soon as my husband and I came out, we were like 'again, again!' So yeah, it may be addictive...

Update--FINALLY!
Hey, guys, I know it's been, like, five years since I last posted here, or something ridiculous like that, but the other day I was going through the tupperwares where I store my old art and I had the thought of updating this page. I had taken a long break from art, and I had some other projects I was working on (writing, doll fashion, my new baby daughter, y'know, the usual), but lately I've circled back around to art, and so I thought it'd be nice to check back in here. I haven't done new Les Mis art for a few years now, but I did have a bunch of pieces that were uploaded to tumblr once upon a time but were never uploaded to deviantArt. I'll post those here in the coming weeks, in approximate chronological order, along with whatever other art I was working on over the years. When I get done working through that backlog, I'll post some of what I've been working on lately. Thanks to any of my followers who are still hanging around, and I look forward to meeting some new ones, too!
My novel, VIRAGO, is now available!
"Paris, 1828. Claude Enjolras is a severe, single-minded soldier of the revolution, the leader of a secret political society that is always ready to go to battle against injustice and oppression. She is also, however, a woman disguising herself as a man in order to reject the demands of society and instead follow her ideals. For four years Enjolras' disguise has worked well for her, and her contributions to the underground revolutionary movement have at last begun to win her the respect of her colleagues. But when her secret is inadvertently revealed to her lieutenant, it throws her two separate worlds onto a collision course and sets in
New Tumblr!
Hey guys, just wanted to let everyone know that I've got a tumblr now: Virago! It'll be for my new novel, Virago (based on characters from Les Misérables), and I'll post excerpts and art there, as well as historical context stuff for the 1820s/1830s. If that interests any of my fans here, you can follow my tumblr and see what I come up with!
For now, I'm going to post some of my art for the novel here, though I don't yet know if I'll keep up with this page in the future. I'm also debating whether or not to start a Pinterest page. I love finding historical fashion pics there, but I'm not sure if it would serve my purpose. Can any of
Stuff and updates!
Oh, lord, as usual, it's been forever since I've been around. But time moves on, and so does life, I guess.
I've got a PhD now, for those who have the slightest interest in my personal life. So it's Dr. Cillabub now. Hurrah hurrah hurrah! That goes pretty far towards explaining where I've been for the past year.
Also explaining where I've been is the extremely long Les Mis story I've been working on for the past few years (at the same time as I was working on my dissertation, eep!). While I've been writing it, I've been trying to stay out of the fandom as much as possible so as not to cloud my impressions of the original book--it mak
