People keep asking for an explanation of what this Gearworld stuff I talk about is. Um. This is alarming, not because I mind trying to explain, but because it makes me think my blog has hit a point where I need a FAQ or a cast list or something. My life needs a plot summary. […]

Today was productive. Despite the fact that allergies kept me awake–or actually, because of–I was up at 4 AM, allowing me to finish the Very Minor Demon and get the last bits of gold on another piece. Then I caught a few hours of sleep, went over to my most excellent buddy jason0x21 , who […]
Okay, okay, I swear, this is the last Gearworld piece for awhile. (I’m getting scared that if I try to do too much more, it will start trying to hunt me down. It’s being too cooperative. I think it’s plotting something. “Yes…c’mon….paint ussss…pay no attention to giant rusted steampunk wood-chipper behind the curtain…”) This one’s […]
Fooling with minimalist character design… Very Minor Demon (I gotta admit, seven deadly sins with this guy and little color-coded balloons would be awfully cute. I might have to give him a pet mouse or something, though.)
I just purchased the weirdest business expense of my life. And some day, if the painting comes out, I will tell you about it. Edit: Okay, okay, just ‘cos I love you guys–if anybody DOES guess correctly (and you who know who you are are not allowed to participate!) I’ll give ’em a free print […]
The sixth day of no Effexor! Okay, yeah. It was the meds all right. My productivity is through the fucking ROOF. Finishing up stuff that should have been finished awhile back, hammering out new art, whipping off quick illos…dude. I hope like hell this is the normal setting, and not just a kind of deranged […]
Okay, I have to say that one of the coolest, weirdest, most unexpected joys in life these days is when I order stuff on-line, and it arrives with notes from the vendors saying “Love your work!” This is as close to being famous as I’ve ever been, or frankly am likely to be (nobody recognizes […]
From the department of mixed emotions…someone expressed surprise on today’s Digger, that if Ed’s mate was beating him, they would nevertheless still be having sex, as Blood-Eyes is pregnant. The rather cynical part of me pinches the bridge of my nose and sighs a bit and says “No, Victoria, there is no Santa Claus…people in […]
Gearworld: Jackalope Offering I have no idea why my brain associated jackalopes with psychopharmacology…except maybe that both of them are chimeras that exist for a slightly different value of “real.” And yes, I feel all annoyed with myself for doing something as angsty as painting pills, it’s so angry-senior-thesis, but…well…like I’ve said, I’m really not […]
I swear, “lapsed Catholic” is like the get-out-of-jail-free card of religious denominations. It categorizes you neatly as respectably educated while still being somebody else’s problem.* Mind you, if I use this particular fall back position any more, I suspect I’m actually gonna have to go make a donation to some nominally Catholic organization to cover […]
