After moving past illness, I am spreading my wings a little more this week. I've had lots and lots of ideas that sort of keep me awake at night. I remember when Gameboys first hit the scene and I was a teenager (you can guess my age now)... I play...

Sorting it all out

nobody@vox.com(Charmagne Coe) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:13:55 -0700

The last three weeks have been a bit bumbling, and sort of painful too. My children and I were rather ill and I'm still recovering slowly. When one starts to get over an illness it is much like coming into a clearing from a dark forest. I look bac...

A glimpse

We have always been

nobody@vox.com(Charmagne Coe) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 11:05:16 -0700

Stay

nobody@vox.com(Charmagne Coe) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:59:38 -0700

I've been in a whirlwind of activity the last two weeks. Things are not slowing down! It's an exciting time of life as my two little boys literally buzz around my feet, creating an imaginary world that didn't exist before they were here. Becoming...

Just suppose

nobody@vox.com(Charmagne Coe) — Thu, 29 May 2008 20:23:15 -0700

The title of this post is a slant rhyme for a place I was published just today: Juxtapoz Art and Culture Magazine, online. I'm doing sloppy pirouettes and feeling giddy because this is a huge honor. If you haven't seen this magazine, check it ou...

Stepping off the edge, now selling....

nobody@vox.com(Charmagne Coe) — Mon, 26 May 2008 17:28:04 -0700

I am officially open for business. Many of you have followed my art process from the beginning, inspiring and encouraging me every step of the way. And, amazingly, that was not so long ago (January). After several inquiries from you and others, ...
