It is sad to me that every time I mention Avatar I have to specify that I mean the cartoon series subtitled The Last Airbender only and not the stupid movie (or that other Avatar with the blue people either). I'll be glad when Legend of Korra starts and we can get away from all that for a bit ( Read more... )

Lots of people have been admiring the icon that I've used on this post, so I figure I'll answer everyone's question as to where it came from:

James Marsh Prints.

I first encountered Marsh's work through the album covers he did back in the 80's and early 90's for my favorite (though now sadly defunct) band, Talk Talk. His work is reminiscent of ( Read more... )

This thread is the best HP-related thing I have seen in days. And yes, that includes both the OotP trailers.

sydpad + twirlynoodle = genius.

This morning my four-year-old son and I were watching lizbee's latest Old Skool Doctor Who vid, which celebrates the dubious charms of "The Horns of Nimon" (with bonus pants-ripping action!). Simon is a sensitive little soul and easily frightened by monsters as a rule, but as soon as he saw his first Nimon he fell in love. "I like that guy!" he chirped ( Read more... )

But if you are looking for something new to read and get insanely hooked on enjoy, I highly recommend ursulav's delightful Elf vs. Orc.

Trust me.

I blame lizbee for this. Well, that and the fact that I finally have a scanner.

You wouldn't know it from my artistic output now (she said, looking ruefully at her neglected deviantART gallery), but I used to draw at least one picture every day. In fact, back in my teens I couldn't imagine giving up drawing any more than I could imagine not writing. ( Read more... )

I am so glad I friended buttfacemakani's journal, because if I hadn't I would have missed some truly brilliant sketches. Like this one:

Poker Night at the MalfoysI just love Snape's smug serenity in the midst of it all ( Read more... )

This story, a vignette with illustrations, is demented and bizarre and fiendishly cute all at the same time, which is pretty much standard for ursulav. And it all sprang from one random doodle she did on the weekend after overexposure to My Little Pony merchandise.

The author writes by way of preamble, It is unpolished. It may be emotionally ( Read more... )

Only substitute a baby Draco nursing for the toddler Draco reading, and make Narcissa look a lot less happy about the whole being-waked-up thing (as well as sporting a prodigious amount of baby barf on the left shoulder), and you get some idea of what our family looked like at about 3:45 a.m. last night ( Read more... )
