Pottydance Radio!
November, 2007: Bryan Ballinger and his daughter, Merrill, age 6, have their own Father/Daughter radio show airing on the Huntington University (Indiana) station, WQHU ("The Fuse"), every Sunday afternoon at 4:00 PM (eastern time). They are playing music that both Merrill and Bryan pick, and just bantering about "whatever" between tunes. You can listen to it at http://www.wqhu.net/fuse/wqhuselect.php. (If you're on a Mac, though, first go to http://www.videolan.org/vic and download their awesome free VLC player.) Show playlists are available on the Potty Dance Radio blog at http://www.pottydance.com/blog. Read the playlists, see some cool art, and comment on the show!!
Be sure to listen at 4:00 PM E.T. on Sundays, though; if you tune in at other times, you'll hear college alternative rock music!!
Bryan has completed a number of new websites:
www.suxco.com, a humorous corporate parody.
www.luncheonloaf.com, devoted to luncheon loaves of the past.
www.breadwig.com, a site of cartoons and obscure bible verses.
Bryan is completing his Master's Degree in writing for children and is shopping a number of new children's books he's written and illustrated. They include "The Kooks of Clown County," Tongue Tied," "Counting Clowns," "Chloe the Cloud," and "Tusky the Unwakeable Walrus."
His "Gruntly Carving" illustration was accepted into Spectrum's 10th Annual Best in Contemporary Fantasy Art show: http://www.bryanballinger.com/portfolios/3d/gandi/pages/carving.htm.
Tusky the Walrus was also chosen to be included in "Exposé 1," a book on the history of the best in computer graphics: http://www.bryanballinger.com/portfolios/3d/animals/pages/tusky.htm.
Long-time illustrator, John Fretz, has been busy building his new home on the Big Island in Hawaii,
where he is now settled in with his faithful 4-footed pal, Quinn,
and back to full-time illustration.
John enjoys working in his light, airy new studio, is eager to get the word out that he hasn't disappeared from the face of the Earth, and is looking forward to continuing to work with his colleagues and clients on the mainland, particularly those in Seattle.
You can view John's current portfolio on this website or a more extensive collection of work at www.fretzart.com.
