Welcome to my art gallery. Today the venue is the #steampunk submarine of Cornelis Drebbel, who graciously allowed us into his domain.
I’m excited to present the artwork of Rob Goldstein, who illustrated Hullaba Lulu. Please join me for a stroll through the submarine to view his images.
Yes, that’s the first piece of Rob’s art on display ― Sea World. Isn’t it calming?

First, we need to go to San Francisco to pick up Rob, the guest of honor. Cornelis, it feels like we are already under weigh. I’m surprised you put your book down without a fight. What was all that clicking about? What do you mean click you?
Cornelis: No, click me, not click you. “Click Me Happy.” It’s exciting for me to be able to choose the book’s ending, Teagan. But I simply couldn’t pick one. So, I decided to just pick up the author. Olga Núñez Miret, of Author Translator Olga is on her way through the airlock.
Olga, what a pleasure. I’m so excited about your translation of “Atonement, Tennessee.” Although I thought we were going to pick up Rob first. Cornelis, it’s Rob’s show! (I sigh…) Nothing ever goes to plan when Cornelis Drebbel gets in the mix.
Lovely isn’t it, Olga? Rob calls it Cegeste.

Robbie! What a lovely surprise. What’s that? Okay Cornelis, I forgive you since you’ve brought Robbie Cheadle of Roberta Writes and some of her gorgeous cakes. My goodness, just look at all the cakes and chocolate.
Won’t you have a slice? They’re delicious. I don’t know if I would have been able to cut any of the beautiful cakes Robbie brought. Cornelis, however, had no problem…

I see we have the refreshments set up beside a porthole. What a view!

Ah, we’re already in San Francisco Bay. That’s the beauty of traveling with an alchemist!
What’s that thing outside the window? Oh! That’s the mini-sub shuttling Rob’s V.I.P. guests. Sorry let me turn off that claxon. It’s letting us know the shuttle has docked.

Welcome aboard, Rob! I see you have all your special guests with you. Thank you so much for bringing these wonderful people. I know some, but not all of them. So, would you please check the passenger manifest for me, to make sure no one is lost?
Sally G. Cronin, of Smorgasbord Variety Is the Spice of Life, Linda Bethea of Nutsrok , Annette Rochelle Aben, Erika Kind, Mary Smith, Diana Peach of Myths of the Mirror, and Danica Piche. What a wonderful group!
I saw that, Cornelis… I know those wriggling bushy eyebrows mean you’re flirting. Mind your manners with our guests. What did you say, alchemist? Oh, yes. Thank you. You did go “outside” to retrieve a piece of art, but you’d still better behave yourself.

Sally, it’s so good to see you! Won’t you help the rest of the VIPs tour the submarine? I know you are already familiar with Cornelis and his submarine.
What’s that, sailor? More guests? Oh, it’s Christine (CE) Robinson, from Before Sundown and Denise (DL) Flinn. I see they’ve come down the West Coast to catch the submarine here at the City by the Bay. I can guess which of Rob’s images will be Christine’s favorite ― Sundown.

Forgive me… Let’s get back to guiding you around this undersea gallery. Here’s the refreshment table. Have one of those lovely shell-shaped plates of hors d’oeuvres, and a shimmering glass of champagne. Yes, those Victorian Era sailors are our waiters. If you need anything, be sure to let one of them know. They fill in when the band takes a break too. I see they’re serenading Mary J. McCoy-Dressel.
Wow, I see that Cornelis used a trick of alchemy to display some of Rob’s art outside the submarine. Deborah Zajac of Circadian Reflections, Fraggle of Rocking a Camera Across the Universe, and Cindy Knoke are out there with their underwater cameras. They are such great photographers. I can’t wait to see the results on their blogs.

Oh, sailor. Thank you for refilling our champagne glasses. Could you please make sure everyone gets back inside? I don’t want anyone to be left behind in any sort of Ripple Effect.

That didn’t take long… Do you hear the country tune the band is playing? It’s by Jan Sikes, “Mama’s House.” (click for song) That tells me that this alchemically powered submarine is at the Gulf Coast of Texas where we’re going to pick up more guests (including Jan) who are from the Lone Star State. There’s Jan, John W. Howell, of Fiction Favorites, and Lisa Amaya, of Life of an El Paso Woman.
I see Teri Polen of Books and Such, and Staci Troilo, and there’s Brad, from Writing to Freedom came down to the Texas coast from their homes to meet up with them too.
Hi, John. I’m happy you all could make it. Oh, I like that image too. Being from Port Aransas, I can see why you’d be drawn to “By the Sea.”

I see reflections in the porthole. Jennie Fitzkee, from A Teacher’s Reflections, is that you? I’m so glad you could take a break from your classroom to join us. And you brought Dan Antion from No Facilities with you! Thanks to you both for coming all the way down to the Gulf Coast to meet the submarine.
Cornelis, are we ready to get going again? We have to pick up guests from farther north, like Donna Parker, Jacquie Biggar, and Joanne Sisco.
Cornelis: Really… It’s not as though I can just chant Yadadarcyyada and make my submarine disappear and then reappear.
(I gasp.) Yadadarcyyada is an incantation! (I put my hand over Cornelis’ mouth to keep him from saying it a second time.) Cornelis, please watch what you say. The last time you spoke that word twice, you and the submarine went to a very strange place! A vanishing act is not on the program ― except for the one in Rob’s collection. Sorry, if I say more it will be a spoiler for my blog serial, Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers.

Hold on, what was that sound? Donna! Everyone! Are all of you okay? I’m delighted to see you, but I hope an accident of alchemy didn’t pull anyone away at a bad time.
Cornelis: Oh, do calm down, Teagan. It was just a little prank. I had already made arrangements with them. We wanted to surprise you.
Rob, what am I going to do with that alchemist? Ah, you are so kind – thank you for this plate. I haven’t had a moment to visit the refreshment table. I see they got your favorite Brie. It looks delicious. Are you enjoying your show? Yes, I think it’s going well and everyone is having a great time. You could say it’s quite a Conquest. You know I can’t resist a play on words.

We seem to have stopped. That looks like the wreck of some long-lost luxury liner… and that’s Nicole, from The Bookworm Drinketh. She’s found several crates of champagne! Sailor, would you please help Nicole inside? Now we have plenty of champagne, just in time to zip across the Atlantic to pick up more guests.
Cornelis, are you sure your submarine has enough power to get there? What do you mean it does now? Erm… what’s that you’re holding? It looks like an Aladin’s lamp… What are you doing? Be careful polishing that thing. Purple smoke is coming from it!
Oh! Cornelis, you’ve brought the Lamp Magician. What a great idea! Dear Magician, thank you for joining us. Please relax and enjoy this undersea art gallery. But wait, the lamp is smoking again. This time the smoke is bright pink. It reminds me of something from my Thistledown serial. Look! There’s Andrea from Harvesting Hecate, and Sue Dream Walker too.
Yes, Andrea? I agree that image is lovely. Rob calls it My Blue Heaven.

Oh good, there’s Janet Weight Reed, of My Life as an Artist. Thank you for coming, Janet.
I’m glad she’s already aboard. Janet is keeping Cornelis Drebbel out of trouble (for the moment at least) by having him pose for a watercolor portrait.
I see Janet brought Chris the Story Reading Ape. Now I understand why they only had two passengers for that run. People can be timid about getting on a mini sub with a great ape, even though Chris is a perfect gentleman.
It’s wonderful to see you, dear Ape. That one? Rob calls it Eclipse. Yes, it’s one of my favorites, though I really can’t choose.

Oops, excuse me! (Several sailors rushing past.) They’re getting the mini sub ready to pick up another group guests. Let’s see who’s on the passenger manifest.
Dyanna, of Ravenshawks’ Magazine, and Michael of OKIOS Redaktion. What’s all the barking? I see, how fun. Christoph Fischer brought his Labradoodles and Hugh Roberts of Hugh’s Views and News brought his Corgis!
Good, there’s Melissa, from Today You Will Write with Suzanne of Musings on Life & Experience. Thank you for visiting, everyone. Please make yourselves at home and enjoy this showing of Rob’s wonderful images.

Great artwork, Rob. You are very talented at creating it. I hope it’s something you’ll carry on with doing. I’m positive you’ll be very successful with it.
As for my favourite item to do with the sea, as a non-swimmer, it’s a tough choice for me. However, I think I’d go for a starfish because they are the opposite of what we see in the night sky.

What a fun and creative way to highlight Rob’s art and our motley crew of artists and bloggers. Thanks for the fun Teagan.
Rob, your art is amazing! I enjoyed so many of these images, but my favorites are Sundowner and Ripple Effect. Thanks for the wonderful show! I tip my cyber champagne to you. 🙂

Wow! I can’t choose a favorite piece. They are all such amazing depictions. And, what a shock to find my name and a song I wrote mentioned! You are wonderful, Teagan. What a perfect host. I tasted Robbie’s beautiful cake, although I felt it was too pretty to cut. 🙂 And I’ve sipped the champagne, visited with Cornelis (He really is such a flirt) and said hello to Sally, Denise, John, Chris and to Rob, of course. I call this a perfect party. As far as sharing some of my favorite things that take place under the sea…This will sound crazy, but remember I spend lots of time with my grandchildren. I loved Nemo. 🙂 As far as an art favorite, I think it is a toss-up between “My Blue Heaven” and “By The Sea.” The vortex shown on “My Blue Heaven” called to me. Just stunning, Rob!

That’s not crazy at all — Nemo was the first thing I thought of. I appreciate you calling out a couple of the paintings. I know how much specific feedback helps me, so Rob will appreciate that. Thanks for making this voyage. Hugs!

Thank you, dearest Teagan for hosting such a stunning event – I’m sure I visited all the guests – including me (thank you again, you’re too kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️) and will return for more, and not just because there’s cake, although… 🎂🎂🎂
Here’s one of my latest https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/07/15/see-you-again/
And now I’m off to visit some more, soak in more of Rob’s amazingly astonishingly artful art 🎨 (this makes me want to go sit in an octopus’s garden in the shade), 🐙🐙🐙 and share all over the place, so others can have no troubles, life is the bubbles when they’re visiting blogging friends.
So glad to be part of your blogging world. 🧜

Hello, everyone! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has already visited. If you didn’t leave a link, then come back and do something to share yourselves with all our guests.
I will faithfully work the comments… today it will happen when I can get little breaks. Meaning I have to get to the office and work.
Please come back throughout the weekend. Leave a comment or link mentioning your favorite “Under the Sea” related movie, food, song — anything that tickles your fancy. Hugs on the swim! Teagan

What an amazing exhibition, and thanks for coming to pick me up and for Clicking away. Like Cornelius, I also have trouble choosing just one of the works of art and I am pleased to be in such great company (I love pink, so perhaps Eclipse, although By The Sea and Sundown are spectacular as well and I love the submarine and…) What a treat! I am off to mingle and pat the dogs (I know Christoph’s girls well!) Congratulations, Rob and Teagan. A fantastic virtual exhibition!
