Miniature Oil Paintings Inspired by Astronomy on Rustic Lockets by Khara Leone

New York-based artist Khara Leone hand paints from scratch miniature enamel paintings. Inspired by stargazing and our solar system, Leone’s interstellar worlds are tucked inside quarter-sized lockets. The romantic pieces contain a charming sensibility and vintage quality. The lockets are usually composed or stainless steel or brass, which adds an intimate feature.

The miniature necklaces are introduced as memorabilia made with love and extreme precision and technique. Find her collection in her Etsy shop.

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

!!! AAAAHHHH I AM SO EXCITED!!

OKAY SO–

You may recall me talking about how I was working on a script for a musical theatre version of Megamind.

I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the script is COMPLETE and that it is going to be UNVEILED at Mega Camp, where we will be doing a READING of it!! The reading is happening Sunday night at 7:30pm!

Now, in order to make the reading as enjoyable as possible, I need your help!

During the reading, I need volunteers to help by playing the parts. A script reading is much more informal than an actual performance, so there’s no need to be nervous; the emphasis here is on having fun. It’s going to be more like a game rather than a show.

Each participant will get a script, and they will read their lines from the script during the reading as they act out their parts. So there’s no need to worry about memorization. The songs, too, are very simple; I wrote them so that they are easy to sing.

There are lots of parts–all of the characters from canon, plus some characters from the Doom Syndicate: Hot Flash, Lady Doppler, Psycho Delic, and Destruction Worker. Not to mention the brainbots and the random citizens!

I’m going to post all of the songs, so that you all can hear them ahead of time–everyone is invited to sing along with the chorus parts.

Again, do not feel worried about having any experience with acting, or about whether you’re “good” at singing–this is all about having fun! And if you’re shy, there is always a place for you as a citizen or in the brainbot swarm!

I’m going to be playing Megamind, but all of the other parts are open.

If you are interested in playing, please let me know, and I will send you the script, so that you can read it ahead of time and feel more comfortable.

I am really proud of this script, and I am so excited to share the musical theatre version of Megamind with you all!
