Following the legendary cartoonist-vs-realist rant over at Yerf, I have come to a conclusion. The basic argument seems to be that cartoonists are intimidated by realists, don’t feel they measure up, and thus are not putting out art, which means there’s more realism untempered by cartoons, which means cartoonists feel even more unwelcome, etc, etc, […]

Whew, busy day! Well, the art challenge seems to be garnering a lot of response…we’ll see if people still enjoy participating when we get a little more technical, but I think a silly start-off is a good thing. Maybe I can alternate style vs. theme challenges, since theme is usually more general fun. We’ll see. […]
Sweet Mother of Little Chickens! Okay, I was NOT expecting the kind’ve outpouring of interest I got–I wrote that post and took a nap, fer cryin’ out loud, and I came back and there were 26 entries! Holy wombats! You people are so awesome. A biiiiig thanks to peganthyrus for setting up the community at […]
…but, as the truism goes, nobody does anything about it. This actually has nothing to do with the weather, since I use my monitor as a sun-lamp and try to stay out’ve the light as much as possible. Just remember, it’s not pasty, it’s alabaster. However, today as I was wandering aimlessly around Yerf, I […]

Well, after a long day of copying files, I finally can return to normal functionality, and maybe get some actual work done this week. Oof! In other news, today I thought about happiness.
Unnngghhh. In an ego-crushing move today, as if the gods themselves had finally noticed my hubris and one of them was getting up to get a snack anyway and so decided to kick my computer on the way out, just as I put the last touch on an elaborate commission, in the middle of signing […]
I love the guys at Five-Star. Well, specifically the art director who I work with–he called me up today to request some more cover art, one of which should be rather similiar to my painting “Crazing” sans alien fetus, and for the cover of a chick book. “So no alien fetus, then?” I asked. “Well, […]
Okay, now I’m pissed. Yesterday, at approximately 7:30 pm, I trundled out of the car, threaded my way past ice and doggiedoo, my copy of “Syberia” clutched in my hot little hand. I installed it. And thus, at about eightish, I began to play. At roughly 2 AM, I went to bed, slept until 10ish, […]
Playing “Syberia.” It’s an adventure game. I am back in the wonderful world of applying objects to other objects and talking to NPCs about a gloriously predetermined range of topics. While the adventure game has passed it’s heyday, and I will probably never again feel the great love that Hero’s Quest and Monkey Island awoke […]
