I awoke from my "Night's sleep" today to find out that the woman who voiced Edna Krabappel on the Simpsons has died. This really hit me as I've spent the last month writing a three-part Treehouse of Horror where Edna is a major character. I'm not a big fan of many people in the entertainment business, but these voice actors literally make my world go around. I'm sure inside the Simpsons family that this loss really hits hard, and I myself have admired this woman's talent for years. Here's the Yahoo article tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/mar…
I'm 50 years old, and have admired Marcia Wallace's talent long before their was a Simpsons show on TV. In the early 1970's she was Bob Newhart's bubbly tall red-headed secretary on the Bob Newhart show, who always had a humorous quip for him. Anyone who hasn't seen this show should YouTube it up - it's funny. And as a Simpsons's fan, I really enjoyed that sarcastic laugh and dry humor she brought to the character. I also know that in the late 1970's, as her husband suffered terribly from cancer in real life, several stars came to her financial aid to help her out.
My condolences go out to the family and friends of a truly talented woman that made us laugh over many a year; good night Edna...
A Season of Madness
I haven't mentioned anything yet, but I woke up yesterday morning to the news of the mass shooting at the Fed Ex facility in Indianapolis at the airport; if you've heard about this in the news, it's about 12 miles south of where I live. I think the city is still stunned by this. It's actually the third mass shooting here in Indianapolis this year, one of them being a spat over a stimulus check which involved a pregnant mother being gunned down. But the number of mass shootings in this nation so far this year just numbs the mind; the police officer that was killed in Boulder, Colorado in the grocery store shooting was a graduate of my college in Muncie. There have been 148 mass shootings in this country since the year began, and 5 since last Thursday. In Thursday's Fed Ex shooting, the gunman was a 19 year old who'd been let go from his job there. He'd already been detained briefly on the advisement of his mother, and his weapon at that time was taken away by police. Well, he got
Another Musical Hero Gone
I just learned this morning that Chick Corea passed away from cancer on Tuesday. A wizard on the keyboard and piano, he was once part of an amazing band called Return to Forever. The reason I mention this is because I listen to this band constantly as I do my artwork here. Return to Forever, along with the band Yes, make up some of my favorite musicians that make my life easier and more enjoyable - it's rare that I don't have an RTF album playing on my computer as I do art here at my dining room table. Him, along with his bandmates, are probably some of the most talented musicians at least that I've ever heard. They are some of the "rocket fuel" for my art here at Deviant Art. Rest in Peace, Chick.

A Fix-up...
This morning I did a slight repair job that was a long time coming. On my picture "80's College Girls" I took out an annoying autumn tree in back of Marge Simpson that did little more than just mess up the picture. In short, Marge got lost in the colors of the tree. I left the falling leaves in, as they still added something to the picture. Here's the finished product -
Bugs in da system...
I wanted to throw this out there because someone hopefully has a suggestion on it. Recenty my dA has been having a weird hiccup - basically, I keep getting tossed off the page and have to refresh. It happens very frequently, and has been going on for weeks. Before I toss rotten tomatoes at dA, I think the problem might be in my browser - I used Edge. Any ideas are welcome.
