So I had a dream last night. The first part was sort of unpleasant but forgettable—I was trying to hide a friend from (the authorities? some kind of security group? They were being led by my old guidance counselor from high school, anyhow) which would have been easier if said authorities was not renovating the […]

Many years ago, in the late nineties, (and how awful is it that that counts as “many years ago?”) I was living in an apartment in St. Paul, Minnesota, and we got the Pioneer Press. The Pioneer Press was frankly unremarkable as newspapers go, but this was in the days when internet news was not […]
My buddy Mur Lafferty has a book series out—the first one is “The Shambling Guide To New York City” The sequel is going to be called “Ghost Train To New Orleans” and is the reason we spent a couple of the days in the French Quarter last year. (Many of our adventures will appear therein! […]
I have written too many words today and now I’m out. They needed to be written. The book won’t write itself. This is how I earn whatever fraction of a cent they pay me for every letter. The problem is that now I’m out of words and have started to forget the names […]
Finally uploaded some art from the last year over at DeviantArt, including a few piece from cons that I never got around to putting up. Sir Edelweiss Lemurling and His Turnip Mysticon 2012 Badge for Ben Raccoon Starvation Moon Canis Slate Rabbit I Starvation Moon is very very goth.
More fun with drafting film! I had this sketch in my sketchbook with the line “DO SOMETHING WITH THIS!!” scribbled underneath. I obey my sketchbook. It’s the only way to keep it from chewing on my brain in the small hours of the night. I had two brown colored pencils for this one, instead of […]
So I play a lot of games. You would call me a gamer. (You damn well better call me a gamer, or I will cut you. I am the one in the relationship who understands the critical nature of ammo conservation, and it is somewhat embarrassing when we go on that Alien Invasion game at […]
Yet more fun with drafting film! I had no luck double-layering the stuff–lost a lot of detail and I couldn’t get the pages to lay as flat as I liked—so I went back to one layer of film over a print. This is honestly the perfect way for me to work—I figure out all the […]
Well, gang, it’s late at night, I can’t sleep, and you know what that means! (Been awhile, hasn’t it? Honestly, there are so few that I find that are completely mind-blowingly freakish. I fear we’ve set the bar too high. I mean, you never see otters with multiple heads in most of these. Still, we’ll […]
Gray colored pencil instead of graphite this time—made life much easier! Layered it over a print with the gray trees in the background so we got more of the layered, foggy look. (Next time, I may do TWO layers. Madness!) Still not entirely sure what that little critter is. It was originally some sort of […]
