So I was poking around some old backups and I found a little cache of digital pictures I took back in high school (at the Turn of the Century). Randy 'xkcd' Munroe is in a couple of them, but apparently he's the goddamn Sasquatch or something because he's blurred all to hell.



(It's a digital camera from 1999. Everything's blurry.)

(Also there's a slightly better picture, but this one has the lowest my-friends-will-kill-me factor.)

Again, like 'John Adams' - a doodly/bloggy thing in reaction to, in this case, Sweeney Todd. One page.

( snikt! )

- Sweeney Todd (movie soundtrack)
- Pirates of Penzance (opera house, not movie)
- TMBG (Apollo 18)
- Clem Snide, Eef Barzelay (various)
- Ben Folds (various)
- Wicked
- Hairspray (2007 movie)
- Alanis Morisette (Under Rug Swept)

and Party Shuffle that mess.

It would seem I just got linked by demiurgent for that thing I did, so I guess I should bump my bad hair day whining.

I have things of moderate interest here, here, and here (NWS) and/or here (same NWS, second pass).

hooray.

My friend the Schmidtty worked on this! It was shot on Virginia Beach. No special effects - that is an actual couch on the actual beach, with actual Al Sharpton and actual Pat Robertson.

Here, I'll post some pics she took (Schmidtty I hope this is OK).

see, couch:


Oh, and there was some other guy bumming around the set, too. Here he is being a nuisance (on the right):




I heard they finally got him out of the way by letting him hold the cue cards. Gawd, this guy must have nothing better to do. :P

(Schmidtty basically has the coolest job.)

This is a test, kinda. I have a little more like it. Basically it started with me saying 'argh blargh I never DRAW any more' and then telling someone I would spend my day watching some of the John Adams HBO miniseries and doodle while I watched and show him the results.

Well, having the house to myself, I started screwing around early and it turned into something that's not entirely about John Adams. The narrative isn't directed specifically at my friend - it's things I would have probably blogged if I could be bothered to go upstairs at the time.

It's very stream-of-consciousness and unrehearsed and whatnot - just putting the ink straight on the paper with few references and no pre-sketches.

I apologize if my handwriting is illegible and will gladly translate/transcribe anything for anyone.

so.



edit: There are, as one would expect, some (out of context) comments about the series. So, uh. "May contain spoilers for American History." You have been advised.

Jiggled the homepage around, updated the DA link, scootched the PS links to the bottom. Need to throw in a link to the Twitter at some point, but it hurts to grip things right now. Like tablet pens. Spent most of yesterday moving things around. Heavy things. My room is reconfigured and... well, roomier, which is a good thing, but the tradeoff is today I can't do much in the way of drawing (which sucks hardcore, cos I have IDEAS).

The thing about living at home sometimes is that you have pretty much no say in how you want to spend your free time. Especially when there are Projects. I've rearranged this room like twice, scrubbed out and painted my bathroom (which still needs another good scrubbing, doors and trim painted, and almost all the fixtures replaced) and had to sit in various parts of the house penned in with two barking dogs to ensure they don't hurt themselves or destroy whatever room they're penned in while they go CRAZY for 6-8 hours a day while dudes came and replaced huge chunks of floor. Throw in a week or so of being absolutely deathly ill (that plague that's going around) and we have ourselves a swingin' good time. That has been the past... month and a half? two months? I have no concept of time any more.

In two weeks we get windows replaced, and then the siding, and then god knows what else. Eventually, some day, we will be done. Probably shortly before I am finally able to move out.

Yes, I've slacked off here and there and played video games or just farted around the internet. When I actually have time to myself, I've found that I haven't had any energy to actually do anything productive. Not to mention there have been many days where my hands end up dry, cracked and bleeding from work and the weather (and yes, I do my best to moisturize them overnight and use lotion when I can - but considering I have to keep constantly dunking my hand in quat-sanitizer to clean tables and other surfaces, things still get irritated pretty quick).

Pretty much I have managed to stumble upon the worst possible time to get back into webcomics. We started in early December, rolling right into the holidays and going to hell from there. Because my original idea was time-sensitive, every time I look at getting back into the saddle I've been daunted with the issue of playing weeks (then months) of catch-up. When I do get back in the game (SOON), I'm probably going to drop the first few pages and start totally fresh. The storyline I had intended to start with might reappear the same time next year (written and drawn well in advance, damn it).

So! In conclusion... bork.
