Open Thread MLK Day

Entering Week Four of the two-day final mixdown of the album. Going blind. Cold seeping into bones. Pizza not as garlicky as I like.

How's your day?

Why Isn't This Person Working Professionally!?

One of the very finest HP fan artists is caladan_dd. We're talking book-plate quality. (And, as far as I can tell, nothing slashy or anything, so those of you with Manly Eyes are safe. ;) Obviously, the community being what it is, not every picture will be to everyone's taste -- I don't like her Ginny Weasley, who is kind of like Pippi Longstocking but without the latter's silken elegance -- but her style is distinctive, her interpretations of characters unique (I love her Lupin), and her talent undeniable. She's got some new pics up that simply kick ass -- all Dumbledore, all the time.

And, I lied. She is working professionally -- at least, she takes commissions. But, really, she deserves a book company or a fantasy comic or somethin'.

Best. Editorial. Cartoon. Ever.
