Introducing Jim by Justin Whitney

My Clarion buddy Justin Whitney has a story up at Expanded Horizons.

It's called "Introducing Jim," and it's utterly delightful, an affectionate satire on Texas, relationships, and Dairy Queen...

With a djinn.

It was one of Justin's Clarion stories.

I remember when I first read it - walking from my room to the cafeteria, laughing out loud to the astonished glances of the civilians who had no idea about Clarion.

I am delighted to see it in print. Or pixel. Okay, in public.

Clarion 2007 Chalk Art

My Clarion friend Shweta had a nice detailed post about Clarion on her LJ, together with a couple of the chalk art masterpieces she made... and she mentioned others that she had no copies of. I have pictures of all of them, so here they are.

These are from the first week: Greg Frost and Jan were the artists here.



Not sure who was responsible for the arcana here; it might have been Betsy, Kari, Kater, Shweta or some combination...

And these Asian-inspired pieces were definitely Kater's work.






Notice the little, realistic butterfly landing near the large stylized butterfly...

More chalk art coming up...
