I love Skelanimals. I know, I know, they sell them at Hot Topic, it’s like Hello Kitty for goths, it is a cold and calculated marketing scheme designed seize my inner pre-teen girl by the wallet and shake until I rain quarters. It works. I’m not well. They’re selling Skelanimals stuff at Target for Christmas. I CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO RESIST THIS. There […]

Also! I had a bunch of people ask about the platypus. And all the e-mails arrived overnight, and most of them were through the contact form and some of them weren’t, so I’m just gonna e-bay him, because I can’t swear between timezones and anything else who asked first. (Good thing I got that contact form fixed…THANK YOU, […]
Brightly colored, stylized animals seems to be my theme lately…Vivid Otter This one taxed my ingenuity, and the result makes me look like a much better gradient painter than I really am. I can do a decent gradient at about the size of the Platypus, which is maybe half this big, (the small size allows me […]
Sometimes I feel like my artistic career is a spiral. I don’t stay on the same thing for long, but I figure out a little more each time, and I get back to it eventually. At least, I hope that’s true, because otherwise my art career looks like the flight of a deranged fruit-fly, which is less emotionally satisfying.Vivid Platypus! […]
Hey, Gang, if you tried to use the contact form on Red Wombat in the last month, it may not have gone through. The issue’s been fixed, but there’s a gap, and we have no way of retrieving it. So! If you tried to use the contact form, please, resend! It wasn’t because I didn’t love you, I […]
Because, alas, the fetuses don’t sell at cons…a quickie in prep for MFF… Vivid Ferret
So I had drawn this fetus, and I sat and stared at it and tried to figure out what to do with it, and god help me, it wanted to be a Christmas ornament. And then I asked Kevin, who I think sort of wonders how he came to a point in his life where […]
It’s cold out, so Kevin got the fireplace going, which involved a lot of fooling around with the thing (it’s a gas fireplace, and it wasn’t lighting or something arcane like that. I am still a little unsure of the gas fireplace concept, but I have to admit, it beats chopping wood.) With it finally running, Kevin […]
Kevin pointed out last night that it’s only a month and some change to Midwest Furfest. Apparently this flipped some weird inspiration switch in my head, because until about 2 AM, I was turning on the light every few minutes and scribbling thumbnail sketches. This is MUCH BETTER than "Oh god, I have no idea what to […]
God, I need to not read discussions of parenting on the internet. It’s not something I seek out. Ever. Under any circumstances. I got there completely accidentally–I was roaming blogs, reading about abortion and feminism and fashion week, which are all things I understand and have opinions on. Well, except fashion. I don’t actually understand fashion. I have, through […]
