Just got back from CopperCon, the second day…getting a feeling that nothin’s gonna go in the art show. Ah, well. Everything selling (and indeed the majority of the work there) was very Standard Fantasy–cats, dragons, wolves, naked women with wings/swords/whatsits. (James muttered something about it being very ten years ago, but that’s probably unkind.) So […]

Today, as I sip coffee and linger over my bacon and hashbrowns, there pops up in my e-mail an ad for “Beastiality Snuff!” This is not the sort of thing I like to see over my breakfast. It does remind me of why I stopped reading Laurell K. Hamilton stuff–too much were-porn, not enough exorcisms. […]
Hung my stuff at the Coppercon art show. I am slowly becoming more adept at hanging art. I trace this less to any skill on my part, and more to my willingness to let James hang it all while I fill out control sheets. Got 13 pieces up, including the big acrylic kirin, so we’ll […]
Just woke up from a nap. For some reason, in my dream, in between some really bizarre segments where I attempted (rather calmly) to save a childhood friend from being eaten by ravenous Komodo Bark, and then attempted (much less calmly) to buy smoked gouda and oyster crackers, I dreamed I was walking down the […]
I know I love my cat, because I wouldn’t get up at 7 AM for many other beings if I didn’t A) think there was money to be had or B) owe ’em a kidney. This may mean that I am a mercenary organ pirate, but really, I’m okay with that. So I dropped the […]
Woohoo! http://www.graphicsmash.com You can subscribe come the 15th, but the site is at least up, and will be featuring reviews of some of the thirty webcomics you can read there (all for the low low price of 2.95!) I prepared a moving page (which I spent way too long on, but what the heck.) I’m […]
Since the nice people over at Hogshead Publishing don’t mind me showing this around, here’s the cover I did for their Crime Scene sourcebook on the Yakuza. Arm of the Yakuza Meanwhile, I finally got the next Digger put together. The backlog continues! (Graphic Smash will launch on the fifteenth, so not much longer now…) […]
Was flipping through the local rag here in Tempe while waiting for my fast-food teriyaki chicken to arrive, and noticed an article about polygamy. More specifically, it was about a town on the Arizona-Utah border, called “Colorado City” which is pretty much run by one of the branches of Mormon fundamentalists that are big into […]
I have always been sort’ve fascinated by the phenomenon of antlered does–about one in ten thousand female deer gets some genetic scrambling, and gets born with antlers. (I attempted to write a story about this once, which foundered utterly when I attempted to come up with a workable deer society. Deer really are vicious sexist […]
