Summer Blog Tour - Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party

Hey Everyone!  I'd like to welcome you to the Lady Lucas summer blog tour!  We're starting off this week with a little story you all know well.  'Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party' is the story of three charming outcasts who hope to earn the respect of the 'popular' kids at school by throwing a super cool Halloween party.  The story stars my cousin Bat, and offers super illustrations, a few laughs, and even some suspense along the way.  After being self published by author Ashley Lucas in 2010, the book is now proudly offered by Sunbury Press.  Happily... the price of book is now more affordable, and the quality of this paperback even more spiffy thanks some awesome magic by Sunbury!  Check it out on Amazon or on the website of Sunbury Press today!  Love & Liver Cheese, LL

New Blog Header...

Dear All,  Lady Lucas Speaks Her Mind now has a new template, groovy background, and sweet blog header.  Ashley whipped up some sculptures this week that represent her kawaii characters, and thought this would be a good way to showcase them. I'm one happy bat, because the weather is finally going to change, and that means my usual midnight flights to Manhattan and back.  {Bats love summer after all...}.  Enjoy spring!!  Love & Liver Pie, LL

14 Days of Lady Lucas Love!!

Hey All! I thought it would be a cute idea to share with you one valentine design, video or print, every single day leading up to Valentine's starting February 1st. To view these cute designs, simply check out my Facebook Page which can be found here {and become a fan if you haven't already!} I'm excited for the holiday of love this year, even amidst all the snow and cold. Hmmm... Still deciding on the card to send my secret admirer... Love and Lavender Candies, LL

The Book is HERE!!!

Ok, so I'm just a little excited about my cousin Bat's book officially being self published online. Bat worked really hard on this project and I'm very proud of him! The book is kind of focused towards early elementary age, but personally I think it's cool enough for adults too. Who doesn't love Halloween, awesome party food, a little drama and pet spiders! Become a fan of Bat and his crew here. Buy the book here. You can read more about the book opening in Jersey City on BBP's fan page... and of course I'll be there too cheering my little cousin on. Have a wonderful fall everybody! Love & Little Pumpkin Pies, LL

My First Coloring Book

Although it has been out on etsy for a few months now, the 'I Love New York Food' coloring book created by Ashley and promoted by moi, is the perfect solution to any child's birthday party or quirky hipster get-together. Available on etsy for $4, this coloring book offers pages of fun to color and design. There is a 'bagel shop' page, 'deli' and 'diner' page and even a page to decorate your own bakery cake. All you have to do is download the PDF, and then it's yours to print as many times as you need for birthday party favors, gifts or for any other personal use. Expect sushi rolls with faces, a how-to on pizza drawing, and cupcakes with attitude. Get a copy while it's hot...! Love & Lemon Squares, LL

Naive Art Movement and Other Surprises...

My creator Ashley was surprised the other night to find a video of some of her artwork featured in a news clip online. Coined 'childlike and simple' and part of the naive art movement; it's always interesting how others view what you do. The naive art movement explained as 'non-scientific' and 'primitive' on various websites online, explains Ashley more than her work. Now you see why it's so important that a sophisticated and proper bat like myself represent what she does. So, watch the clip online because all news for artists is good news and all in all being on tv is pretty dang cool. Additionally, this video highlights an awesome Jersey City business owner named Celeste and her rad cafe. Check out my favorite spots on this blog for a link to her business! Love & Lingonberries, LL
