Showing in San Francisco!

Thrilling news: The Last Unicorn is going on tour!!! This beautiful animated movie is going to be in THEATERS all over the country and beyond! The first screening is in San Francisco on April 20th.

If you're a fan -- if you don't know what The Last Unicorn is -- and if you're even close to the area, you'll want to be there. Peter S. Beagle, the author of the book the movie is based on, will be there and it is his birthday! So it's going to be extra special with prizes, Q&A, cake, costumes, singing... I don't know what all. But it will be amazing, that's for sure!

And, it goes without saying, I'll be there. With my Schmendrick [link]  :aww:

There will be screenings all over America from now through the end of 2015, as well as several major cities in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany. And Peter S. Beagle will be at every one of them. So if you aren't in the area this time, hopefully it will be coming to "theaters near you." :)

:sun: A totally awesome audio interview with Peter S. Beagle: [link]

:sun: And Peter S. Beagle's dA page! *PeterSBeagle

UPDATE: It was AMAZING! Seeing it up on the big screen, perfect color, improved audio, in amidst the sea of fans... It was fantastic! Almost surreal in its awesomeness. The concentration of love for Peter S. Beagle in that room was palpable. I especially loved the Q&A before the movie started. It's great hearing Peter's take on everything. A young fan asked him about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It was adorable. :giggle:

I hope you all get a chance to experience this for yourselves! :love:

Personal Quote: "This is me and this is you."

My work is inspired by by the true strangeness of nature. I draw on myths from around the world to capture the delight of the unusual and unexpected. I love taking something everyday and making it fantastical.

When I’m not making strange little creatures, I work as a freelance illustrator. I graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Fine Art. I currently live on the coast in California.

Your gallery is an absolute delight. You pick the most wonderful creatures as subjects. The octopus, in particular, blew me away. My mum has wanted to try needle felting for ages, and your gallery has now made me want to try it to!

I see you like Labyrinth by Jim Henson^^ It's such a great film! I have a question- I used to do some needlefelting, but I've had no time for supplies. Do you know of any sites that sell supplies for a reasonable price?

:D Yes, Labyrinth is awesome!

Supplies are always a little tricky to come by -- some are ridiculously overpriced and colors never come the same. It can be very frustrating. The only place I use regularly is paradisefibers.com for the "batting," basically raw roving that I then dye myself. And sometimes I get needles there. Otherwise, I just keep a lookout for any good roving I see in local shops, on etsy, or in catalogs. :shrug: I hope that's at least a little bit helpful.

Amazing gallery. Your felted things are just lovely, absolutely stunning in detail! And the felted Loris-Snail is probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen in my entire life. Seriously. Its not fair that I don't have one.
