Scanner's Working Again

...but I haven't found the time to scan more stuff in and it's almost the end of the month and I wanna change the design of the blog anyway but I haven't found the time for that either and the cat is leaking and the house has run away.

So here's some stuff that was already on my hard drive for almost a year. I never intended to post them, and they're sketchy-smudgerific.



The dancers want more money. I guess. She's clearly pissed about SOMETHING.



You ever like something, but you don't want to like it? You like it, but kind of against your better judgment? It's sort of a thing where you don't see yourself as the kind of person who would like that kind of stuff?

Not me. I only like awesome things.



So this one time I go into this gaming store, because I want to buy some dice. And I'm kind of wandering around a bit, because I've never been in there before, so the clerk sidles up to me and starts trying to make some sales. He shows me where the dice is, and he asks DND style questions like "What kind of character do you play?" To which I reply "Tiefling Warlock," 'cause that is, indeed, what I play. So he shows me where all the minis and books are too, and buggers off. All the books and minis are, of course, hilariously expensive, so I instead go to the comics. I select a "Hellboy" trade paperback, and saunter over to the counter to pay. As I'm paying, the clerk gives me this kind of odd little look and says "Hellboy fan, huh?" and I say "Yeah, Mignola's great," or something along those lines, and make my exit. On the way back to the car, I realize: That guy thinks I have some kind of crazy devil fetish.

I don't. But this picture does nothing to help my case, however unlikely the pose may be.



Here, at the end, you've no doubt noticed that if I hadn't written all that extra nonsense, I probably could have used the time to scan something. You really should have mentioned it sooner. We could have avoided all this.

Pal...buddy...chief...

You ever write something, and think to yourself, "Ho ho, aren't I clever, funny kind of fellow," but then you read it again a little later, and you think, "Say, I'm kind of a tool"? Well, I recently looked back on some older posts, and came to just this conclusion. Most recently that one in May. "What am I writing here? I have no rules for my blog. I can barely function as an upright hominid, without making up weird arbitrary rules for myself." This is the kind of thing that happens when you write sometimes, you forget people can't hear your tone of voice.

So today I'm posting one of my favorite musical scenes from a modern cartoon, just to show ya. Also, my scanner isn't working, so I can't post drawings.



Wish the quality was better, but beggars can't be choosers.

Can't Stop

They're foolish. They're juvenile. They cause a horrible rash.





I warned you, didn't I?

Funny funny funny, What money can do.


Feelin' a bit Mignola-y, knowhaddamean? His work is deceptively simple looking...


Can't stop drawin' dat wacky goblin. Shoulda seen da one dat got away!




Annabelle de Plaingiere. She's just a femme fatale with a dark past and a shocking secret. OR IS SHE?! Regardless, should have left enough room to draw her hand. Rookie rookie rookie mistake.

And now, a Word from Our Sponsor:


You tell 'em, Captain.

Ugly Baby!


Ugly Baby, Kids! YAAAAAAY!







Recently I showed these to my wife, Cindy, and she became very quiet.

"Oh. Uh, these are...well..."

She was obviously uncomfortable, so I kind of explained to her where they came from and what the idea behind them was. When I was finished, she was visibly relieved.

"Well, that makes sense, then. I was kinda worried you'd gone, y'know, insane."

Now, I've skimmed the surface on some of the darker corners of the internet (and I mean BARELY skimmed the surface. The internet truly scares me), so I was more concerned these would come across as self indulgent and boring. It didn't honestly occur to me they might seem worrying to family and loved ones.

So, maybe I'll write a little something about them, if I can figure out how to do that without sounding like a knob. 'Til then, enjoy.

P.S. Cindy also wished me to mention that the Gerussi Kraken looked more like Gabe Kaplan to her. Such are my caricature skills, I'm afraid. Although to be fair, the 'fro and mustache look was a popular one, back in the day.

Something Had Changed Them



...they could scarcely be seen at all if the light was bad, and they went about their mysterious business in complete silence, uttering neither word nor sound to anyone. What the precise nature of that business was, none could discern.

WHAT did you just say?



It usually happens at about twenty past or twenty to the hour, or so I'm told.

But that's not what it's for.

When I started this blog, I specifically told my self that it would be only for art purposes. I'm a selfish bastard, it's my blog, so it's gonna be my stuff that goes on here. My writing, my drawings, my animation. And with a very few exceptions, I've stuck to that.

But today, I break my rule. And it sort of IS animation related, because it has to do with a friend I made back in animation school. I fell out of touch with him quite a while ago, and we haven't communicated in some time.

But Blair, if you're reading this, I have something I need to tell you:



I just hope to hell that you're attached to this somehow.

Edit: dammit, blogger is cutting off the edge. Well, click on it, and it'll go to youtube where you can see it properly.

Mac Ool



I wanted to have a giant,
But a giant's been done and done.
So I tried to be hip and defiant,
Dunno if I fooled any one.
