Today I got new sneakers. They are not pretty, but they are closed, and simple, and will be less ugly when I get more entertaining shoelaces for them. Maybe then they won't remind me so much of the shoes Watterson drew on Calvin's feet.

I procrastinated on some storyboarding for myself because I couldn't find the clipboard. Mere minutes after deciding to go to bed and write the day off as mostly a wash, creatively, I found it. I may put off bed a little longer. Dunno. I might make good on my threat to put a collar on one of my boyfriends and take him out for walkies instead.

I toyed with the thought of fucking around with Ruby On Rails just because I can. Slow net made downloading an easy installation package more of a trial than my whim could tolerate.

Anyway, here's some overly-designey crap I drew Friday night and Saturday. About half of it is the start of exploring what vampirates would look like.







I believe I am the only person in the universe to have drawn Robotron: 2084 mind-control porn.

Some notes on the next page theorize that the Progs are all vibratey-inverse-flickery because they're moving way too fast: the Robotrons are casually burning up their weaponized hypno-slaves. Sure, they die at the end of each wave. Who cares? They're just inefficient humans,


Strangecharm Theeka.


What happens if you combine the gradient-heavy car photo-traces so beloved by a certain segment of the Illustrator hobbyist world with the soft-core porn photo-traces so beloved by another segment of that world? Well, if you're me, you get rocket-spider pinups. This is an idea initially scrawled on an index card while at a cafe with Rik the other day. I've been playing with it, trying to find the right way to show off both parts of the image in potential loving gradient detail.








Also, I did that character meme, with the main character from my perpetually-delayed comic Drowning City as the subject. I will only publish one answer in public:
24. If you met your character in real life, what would you do with her?
Apologize profusely.

The vampires are fun and everyone loves a bucket o' blood!

I'm more surprised it took you so long. :)

Now, I have this horrible urge to take the Bucket O' Blood and make it a magical MgGuffin in an RPG. I suppose it would be in the same class of as the Bucket O' Truth from Upright Citizens Brigade, the Bucket O' Chicken, the Bucket O' Bolts, the Bucket O' Studs, and the Bucket on Buckethead's Head.

It would be in the class of Bucket McGuffins that do not smell curiously of chicken. I hope. I'm pretty sure the Bucket on Buckethead's Head is in that class.

Yeah, that's the kind of place this is going!

That vampirate captain with a little bat on his shoulder is damn cool!
