Teagan and I are on a break from Hullaba Lulu this week.
We both have busy weeks; I have a friend in surgery
today and a guest arrives from Vancouver next week.
Then there is the effect of the Trump administration
on my Illness and its symptoms.
That’s a discussion I take up in my next post.
If you are an adult child of a pathological narcissist and you are not
affected by the diseased behavior of the Trump administration,
you’re still in denial.
Lucky you! 🙂
Some Angels
In the meantime, here is a link to some angels on Teagan’s books.
A quick explanation of the video:
I was intrigued with the idea of the danger of entering the world of a painting in Chapter Eight of Hullaba Lulu. So, I played with it by importing a few public domain copies of the Pittura Metafisica paintings of de Chirico and Arnaldo dell’Ira.
I chose “Piazza d’Italia,”by Arnaldo dell’Ira, 1934, as the backdrop and used a script to set it in motion, I prefer to use dynamic backdrops.
The audio is an excerpt from ‘Glad Rag Doll’ as performed in 1929 by the
Rose Wood Orchestra.
You can get a copy at the Internet Archives.
Thanks for visiting.

Sadly, tRump has become a symptom for so many. But looks like the uprising has begun. He’s getting called out left and right, dems and rethugs alike. It’s coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Thanks for the heads up! I haven’t watched the news in days. I have to take a break from it when it starts to affect my emotional health.
Sadly, I hear that often from my American friends 🙁
It’s frustrating and enraging. Our conservative party reveals itself as little more than a decadent cadre of religious hypocrites and political opportunists.
And those are the nice words 🙂
I thought that at the time. LOL!
Lol 🙂

Love your use of color – definitely captures a certain time and feel.
Thank you. I am trying to capture a bit of the look and feel of the time. I appreciate your comment.
I thought I left you a comment on one of your posts, but it went onto a post your reblogged instead. It was my mistake. I thought I was talking to you. It must have confused the author of the post who doesn’t know me from Adam, just like this comment is probably confusing you. Ah well, I try, so sorry!
I love your and Teagan’s creative collaboration! Wonderful! You two are rocking good bloggers!
And Le Trump, well, he gives me acid reflux, and his narcissistic daughter extension who I cannot diagnose since I haven’t met her so I wouldn’t dare, gives me gas.
They are the white house indigestion inducing duo, Pep and Cid.
Ha! Cindy this hysterical (about #45 & spawn). When Rob sent “Cheeseburger” as one of my things awhile back, that was all I could think about and had a devil of a time keeping it out of the story. Hugs.
LOL…I love this comment Cindy. It all seems to come down to flatulence, doesn’t it? 🙂
I love that part about entering the paintings, Rob, and want to do just that. How cool would that be? I’m so glad you picked up on it for some of your artwork. And yes, Trump is making us all ill whether we accept the truth or not. I hope your friend recovers quickly, and enjoy your time with your guest. 🙂
Paintings are a great way to travel. Thanks Diana!
I would love that! I’ll have to give it a try. 🙂
You are such a delight. thanks again.
This is such a fun way to escape the reality you mentioned, if only for a minute. Very nice work, Rob.
Thanks Dan. I’ve got a post scheduled that takes up the effect trump on people with trauma related mental health issues. And yes, there is nothing like taking on a challenge to focus the mind and nourish the soul. Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment!
There are so many people and so many issues that this administration wants to officially ignore. It’s really sad. It must be frustrating.
It’s horrifying. I can’t believe the U.S. allowed an enemy to infiltrate our government to this extent.
The video is fantastic, looking forward to another installment of Hullaba Lulu next week! Your art is amazing!!
I’m going to make a credits page for the virtual clothing and props designers whose work I use. Some the designers are extraordinary. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
You make magic with your illustrations. I love how you’ve brought Teagan’s characters to life.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment Joanne. I do want to bring them to life as much as I can. Your comment made my day. 🙂
I really love this video, Rob. The outfits are to divine for words. When America sneezes the whole world catches a cold so what effects you impacts everyone else too.
I do like choosing the costumes. Setting up these shots feels like theater, only more malleable. Thank you for commenting on the video; it’s good to know you enjoyed it. Regarding my sneezing country, it feels as if we have a virus.
fabulous work
Thank you, Paula!

How DO you do this?
The answer requires a post with illustrations — so I’ll write one.
🙂
Reblogged this on Teagan's Books and commented:
Artist, Rob Goldstein illustrates the diesel-punk fantasy series, Hullaba Lulu. He often creates art that runs parallel to the series. Rob is supposed to be taking a break, but he still did this a post and great video as part of the “Lulu-verse.”
Thanks Teagan!
I couldn’t resist sharing. I try to only post twice a week, and I had already done one extra… But I had to share your entire post. What the heck. 🙂
Thanks again, Teagan. 🙂
Beautifully done, Rob. It looks like the avatars really are inside the painting. The video is pos-i-lutely the cat’s meow! And so are you!
Sharing. Hugs.
I’m glad you like it. The reason I didn’t get this out sooner was that I had finished a video and hated it so I re-did the whole thing. I think this one works better.
