James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Given how popular the Romantasy genre is in publishing, this feels more and more like the formula for what could be one of the best-selling books EVER. 😄 010
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Happy National Eggs Benedict Day to all of you awesomists who celebrate. 😄 010
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Forty years ago tonight, my favorite movie hit the silver screen - and taught me that a fictional creation was as valid a basis for a system of values, ethics, and morals which one could choose to emulate as anything else the world could press upon me. I still believe it. 020
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I’m not questioning my mother’s thriftiness in re-using a box for storage; but I AM questioning her specific choice of THIS box for storing THESE specific items. 😂😂🥲❤️ 010
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Let’s just call this an Eggs Benedict post; as in, if someone asked how my and Diana’s Eggs Benedict is, imma just show them THIS. 😄 020
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 02/12/2025You know those people who complain that they were just watching tv and the dog fell asleep on top of them and now they can’t move until it wakes up? WEAKLINGS, ALL OF THEM. It took three days to get the feeling back in my legs. 😂 5220
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 14/11/2025I’ll share this helpful editing suggestion my phone gave me while I was working on a new essay. I am now passionately determined to make “respobdibility” part of the general lexicon. 🤣 040
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 30/10/2025An observation: any files saved with the word "Final" in the name will inevitably generate at least three further (and nearly identical) files before they cumulatively generate the (glorious) response, "Your files have been approved for production." The printing and binding phase starts now! 130
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 28/10/2025The Halloween Tree, day thirty-one, at night. Even with no leaves, this tree is glowing proper. 020
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 27/10/2025The Coppervale Studio Halloween Tree, Day thirty-one. Almost completely leaf-nekkid, now. It was a pretty good run this year. I’ll post one more photo, of it lit up tonight. 020
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 24/10/2025The Coppervale Studio Halloween Tree, day twenty-eight. Almost all of the leaves have been crispified, and most of them have dropped, now. 020
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 23/10/2025I AM the Pumpkin King, and October’s Heir, married to the Queen of Halloween - and the Coppervale Studio Halloween Tree is ready for the Great Pumpkin to come to Silvertown. 010
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Things that give me focus: my first drawing of Superman; a quote and fantastic illustration by the great Jeffrey Alan Love; and an amazing quote by the brilliant and wise Wendy Pini. 010
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Our librarian friend staying with us messaged this morning that she couldn’t get to the highway - something about center street being closed off. We only just now found out why the block at the end of our street has been closed since last night. Going to be processing this for a bit. 200
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 01/06/2025That time - fifteen years ago (!) - when Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton and I judged a ballroom full of nerds and found them all exceedingly worthy. 010

James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 09/02/2025After my last Drawing out the Dragons at the Superstars Writing Seminar, at the charity auction Saturday, my pal JT blew us all away - and rendered me literally speechless - by bidding SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS if he could get BOTH the right hand drawing AND the left hand one. Stunned. Just stunned. 040
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Your weird zen moment of the night: watching the SOUL TRAIN dancers (circa 1986) dancing to Falco’s ROCK ME AMADEUS, when suddenly E.T. in grad getup dances across the screen. If it is possible for all of those things to happen at once, then ANYTHING is possible. 020
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 24/01/2025The Honey Dog, in an Andrew Wyeth/Jeffrey Jones setting. Blind, deaf, losing her hair, and doing her best to be a Good Dog. 010
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025You’ve never seen a bunch of dogs pee so fast as when it was zero degrees outside this morning and they know the space heater by dad’s couch is on. ☺️ 000
James Artimus Owen @jamesartimusowen.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Coming upstairs to get the dogs settled in my office and make tea for Helen, I glanced into the library and saw a gumball machine being illuminated by a single ray of light. Magic happens in moments - be ready, be willing, as Wayne Dyer said. Sometimes you just have to be willing to see it. 120
