Now Is The Time For All Good Something To Something Else
I have a Big Idea.
Is it Terribly Ambitious? Perhaps.
But that's what the Things I Can't Draw series has always been about: Naked Ambition.
Emphasis on naked. Allow me to fill you in.
Yesterday, I was taking a shower after taking a crap. I assure you that both were pre-planned, and that the shower had nothing to do with any sort of Explosive Crapcident. I just needed to shower. So, there I am, in the shower, when I was blessed with one of those ideas that you could only think of whilst showering, crapping, or showering after crapping.
I stil have benchilada.net available, and I'm even working on trademarking the word "benchilada." When I purchased it, I also grabbed some web-hosting space, which I've since let expire because my life went crazybusy all at once. I don't think I could currently justify the expensive of having a host again--maybe soon, but not right now--so I started think about "leasing" webspace from somebody who has extra. Oh, and having somebody else help me with the design, because my HTML skills begin and end with "a href."
My point is this: Things I Can't Draw. I've had a lot of people pestering me to make this a regular feature for a while now. And I'm thinking of doing it, plus a little more. I'd like to do a smaller version--like two things I can't draw at a time instead of seven--about two times a week.
In addition, for an extraordinarily nominal fee, like a few bucks plus shipping, I'd love to do commisions of things people want me to not be able to draw. Their family, their house, Chinese New Year, a frog eating a cookie, life on Mars, et cetera. I'd sign the thing, bung it in the post, and they'd get their very own "original" benjamin sTone completely-not-art.
I would probably even Cafe Press some shirts, mugs, et cetera, for drawings people really liked. And buttons. Everybody loves buttons. Or badges, if you’re inexplicably British.
In addition, I could use the website for Sir Reginald compiling, attracting artists for my comic works, collecting other works of fiction, and a resume of works I've done so far and works in progress. I mean, bless LiveJournal and YahooGroups for getting me over 250 people reading my stuff, but there is a point at which I think a website would be necessary. I think that point is now.
Any suggestions from my peanut gallery? Comments? Questions? Please let me know. No matter what, whether I make 50 bucks a month or no bucks a month, I think this is something I really want to roll with.
Project: 2006 Is My Bitch continues apace, and here's your chance to have a say in how it happens.
Comment, my monkeys, comment!
