The Origin of the Marvelous Mindsweeper!

Hi, I'm HomeSchoolGurl's Dad and I asked if I could write a post about the Origin of the Marvelous Mindsweeper! What you see below is the first earth shattering and amazing issue of HomeSchoolGurl's full-size comic series (issue #2 is even more earth shattering and amazing but I don't know if she'll post it online since it might crash the entire Internet with it's awesomeness!).

I got the Origin of the Marvelous Mindsweeper! as a birthday present and I haven't been able to put it down.

You'll see that our hero lives a slightly humdrum existence performing for a circus troupe, harmlessly reading or "sweeping" peoples minds with their permission. It's a cool act, popular, exciting, but ultimately boring for our hero who wishes for a more full filling existence. Then he meets the mysterious Star Girl (the cover gives you a hint!) and resigns from circus life. What will come next? You'll have to wait and see, and while you wait checkout the cool full colour pinup of Star Girl!

Sketch of Woman's Face

I did this picture at my brother's art table near the kitchen I didn't think it was much, just another quickly crayoned picture. But my father liked it and so here it is. The media is purple crayon on paper.  
I'll post again soon.

World

This is a picture of the Earth; It was created to go with Creation myth #2, the four People. But I liked it better loose. The words on the side say: Watercolour Pencil, Water, Colour Pencil, Art pen, Pencil. I drew the picture with a pencil. Went over it with an art pen. Coloured it with Watercolour Pencils. And went over that with water. the Duck is coloured with a plain Pencil crayon.
I'll post again soon.

Port Holes and Planetoids

This is a picture of some port holes and some planetoids. The multi-coloured  circles are the  port holes. They take you to whole diferent worlds (the '100 acre woods' doesn't sound like a different world, but where have we found it on this Earth?).
In the picture I have port holes to Oz, the 100 acre woods, and the receiving end of Earth. The planetoids are the houses, trees, and fences. I imagine this is much like what happened too Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
I'll post again soon.

The Four People

This story is about how Drana made the people. This is more like a bible reading then a myth. I'll post again soon.

The Cat in the Hat

 This is a picture I did for my younger brothers.  It is of the Cat in the Hat, Thing One and Thing Two, and the fish.  The medium is pencil.
                I'll post again soon.

Gnomes of Windy Hollow

 This is a watercolour pencil and brush picture of felted gnomes and a fairy. The gnomes are modelled after some figures my Mom felted, and this is why they have no faces. 
   
I like the contrast of the figures next to the Oak leaf. Below is a close up of the fairy because her flowers are one of my favourite parts of the picture.  I'll post again soon.

Vikings' Remembrance Poem

 Vikings' Remembrance Poem

     Let all thy men,

Hath died in war,

     Be seateth in Valhalla.

     But those who've died,

Of Ills and Pains,

     Rule in the dark with Hella.

"Bluebird and Cardinal Over Marsh"

This is a water colour panting I did this past weekend-- its called "Bluebird and Cardinal Over Marsh". In it two birds are flying over a grassy Marsh. I especially like the Cardinal but my dad prefers the BlueBird. I hope you like it and I'll post again soon.
