Not that I would ever wear yellow heels, but...

After the space narwhal, piracy became a secret theme for the space animal illustrations o_O. For this, I blame Pat, who seems really normal huddled in his cubicle, but sends me gentle, enabling emails with strange suggestions on the sly. I SEE YOU OVER THERE, PAT - I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Anyway, this one is for him because he got ludicrously ( Read more... )

It's been a few weeks since we lost Orbit, but every day there's a little reminder somewhere that she's gone. It's still unsettling. It got me thinking about the great dogs I've known (not all of them were mine). Two, top-shelf woofs were Orbit, and her predecessor, Bizzy. They had personality-plus, endless energy, and were great pals through-and- ( Read more... )

Listen, I ahven't been around much lately but this is pretty great so I wanted to share it a.s.a.p.

A pal sent me THIS LINK to an intro video for HitRECord. It's a production website created by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Basically, you can create almost anything and upload it to the site. Other users (including Gordon-Levitt's production house) can ( Read more... )

So, today I had to bail on the Tentacle Big Bang. I feel sad and guilty and all kinds of terrible, but there just wasn't enough time to get the artwork finished for the deadline. I was hoping to squeak out an 11th hour finish this week, but the clients dumped a metric fuckton of work on me (you know, the kind that pays boring things like rent an' ( Read more... )

In a futile attempt to provide my husband with Xmas gift ideas, I came across artist Eric Petersen. Petersen encompasses a style that I first saw in the 80s in a strange book about Greek mythology called Thunderbolt & Rainbow. It became one of my favorite books and I still have my original, battered copy.
