The Closed World

and much has changed. For the better, though. Going to work on bringing this blog back up to date.

Anyone planning a vacation to my basement needs to read this life-saving announcement.

This is apparently one of those countries in which you actually have to make money in order to pay taxes. Guess I'm off the hook this time!

 

 

Here's a blooper for y'all... the non-bloop version will probably be posted at Palidor media within the next day or two. Any more than that and my partner in crime might beat me with a foam noodle.

 

There's also a comic- What's in a name? Depends on the name, really.

I promised zaniness, and... here it comes!

Admittedly, it's a low-key zany. Still, that's better than none at all.

Anyhow, here's a little comic featuring me and the BND doing what we do best- sitting around and snacking on various food-like products. There's also a botched version of a piece  for TCW called 'Into the River'.

I will do some real work for the Palidor Media update. Eventually! I swear. Gimme a break, eh? Got to get my taxes done today...

There will be pictures here.  And comics. And works in progress. And.. zany things.

But right now I'm just full of hashbrown quiche and sleepy.

 

I'm working on several pictures of Lorelei and the fake Lorelei(s) from TCW right now. Several of my favorite copic markers, like Fruit pink and Tahitian Blue, have given up their ghosts- right as I was using them too, so I had to start both pieces over again to get the color schemes to look right. I chose to make the fake Lorelei(s) look goldfishy because, well, I rather like goldfish. My grandfather used to keep some in a little pond at the house in Germany, and I would help take care of them sometimes. I always thought they were beautiful, and I wondered where they got to when the pond froze over. Do fish hibernate? That's the burning question of the day!

 

The Sims 2 Seasons has ensnared me in it's wondrous clutches. I have a desert island where it is always summer and rich folk live beside the ocean and take in the wonderful view from their pools. I also have a tiny village in the mountains where it is always winter, and people cannot leave thier houses without coats. The mountains are full of ruined castles, haunted and filled with werewolves, and vampires, and the occassional zombie or mad scientist. I've given up trying to recreate TCW on the Sims 2. There are simply too many things I'd have to download to make it look right. I can't have Kell zipping around in a sports car. Those things are very compact! I don't think his wings would fit well at all.
