Jael: Creatress of Spaces in Which to Wonder and Ponder








Jael is a science fiction and fantasy artist/illustrator. According to her website she is considered to be one of the foremost female artists of today. I believe she is visiting us from a future that includes much in the way of colored fog. Please visit www.jael.net to see more wonderment.

  1. mm, is it true that in the future everything will be all melty and twilit? will we be able to breathe underwater? will we ride around in bubbles? a sloth hopes.

  2. Sloth yes, I hear tell it will be like milky candy with glowing orb-spores everywhere. Don't forget the power of the crystal. Expect that your ears will be somewhat elfin.

    Luckily, in the future, old-growth forests will be abundant. See preponderance of large roots, the better to trip over, lest you are transporting in a bubble, in which case you've only turbulent air over which to fret (or embrace).

  4. We are morphing into merman at this very moment. i bet jael sell makes more money from art than i do.

  5. OOOHHH.....ambrosia.

  6. Hi other MM. Turbulence is for embracing is my feeling. Fairy, if you were willing to do book cover illustrations, calendar art, portraits of children and pets for commission and possibly a line of greeting cards maybe you would make as much as Jael. Let's start a business, if you are willing I am willing. Carving figurines might have to be part of it. Anyone is iinvited to join this business venture. Capt'n please come aboard.

  7. i am ready for this venture mm. dried poo carvings might be the simplest way to get started (and inexpensive for initial investment!). i would also like to develop a line of designer kleenex box illustrations and perhaps partner with a mint to develop a special coin. like that 911 coin that turns into a standing scultpure. i bet you can imagine what i am thinking.

    ReplyDelete
  8. a series of coins that celebrate the miracle of the human body.

    ReplyDelete
  9. last thought. let's partner with birkenstock and decorate those comfy sandals.

    ReplyDelete
  10. That is very smart FB. Like a bladder coin? An udder coin? A fatty liver coin? A polyp-riddled colon coin? This is what comes to mind.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Any type of comfort footwear can and should be decorated. Maybe 3-D elements like thorns and stubborn weeds.

    ReplyDelete
  12. And what about emblazoning handbags and tote bags with mental illness related mottos and slogans.

    1. Sobriety is for suckers
    2. I am lonely all the time
    3. Don't touch me, I'm Bipolar

    I am going to work on small pewter figurines with crystals maybe in the fantasy genre. I think that's really an untapped market.

    As for mental health related mottos on handbags, I think Pfizer might back "Where's my Zoloft?"

    ReplyDelete
  14. "Booze is my bag" canvas totes?

    i like the idea of the 3-d thorn sandal- very nice. also:
    barbed wire sandal
    crucifix lyrical sandal
    a sandal that incorporates those gangsta bronze multiple finger rings (in this case for toes)

    let's market a pewter homeless village. the crystals can be actual crystal meth or crack (imitation). accessories include:
    pewter shopping carts
    scrap metal pile
    mattresses

    ReplyDelete
  15. Please can we get to work on this. These are high concept products sure to sell. Homeless village is excellent - don't forget small poos everywhere and maybe tape recordings of "heeeeyyyyy mommy" could be a part of it.

    More sayings for canvas totes:

    1. I am drunk right now
    2. I wear diapers
    3. Get out of my way
    4. Stop smiling, I hate you
    5. I met my girlfriend in prison
    6. The holocaust never happened

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm in. What about a line of rain sticks, masks, and digery don'ts?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Am I straying off point?

    ReplyDelete
  18. we can incorporate the rain stick into the pewter village, part of the subway musician series. or combine rain stick with a bong.? these are all good ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  19. mm, i am enjoying #2 &#6. maybe we can do a 2-sided saying bag. you can switch the facing out side depending on your mood.

    other sayings:
    1. pubic mold - smell it - live it
    2. U R a fucking fuck
    3. i am searching for meaning.
    4. AARP

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah. Wear a mask while carrying a tote bag that says on one side:

    Anal rape happens

    and on the other:

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hard to follow "I met my girlfriend in prison" and "The Holocaust never happened" with anything nearly as catchy...
    hmmm....thinking...

    1. Le Bag
    2. I'm not gay but my bag is
    3. Is it beer o'clock yet?
    4. I'm so broke I can't even pay attention
    5. Ask me about my low grade depression

    ReplyDelete
  22. There are better ideas for bags, I know.

    Sorry. I am fixated on anal rape for some reason, it soothes me.

    I hate people.

  25. Frogs, please tell your friend MM that I was literally cracking up over I met my girlfriend in prison and the holocaust never happened, in fact writing it out again is just an excuse to laugh again.

  26. And the anal rape/mutual of omaha....I'm just picturing you walking around with that bag, mountain man, and I have to say it doesn't get much better than that.

  38. OK I want to create a heavily accessoried outfit that has every single one of Hammy's slogans. I will make use of collars, pockets, shoelaces, pins, bags, hats, rings, socks, underwear, belly chains, power cuffs, earrings and earrags. Oh and wheels on roller skates. I will find a spot to emblazon and/or etch every one on your lists.
