Miasmic New Pages
Website update GO
The Drawing and Paintings pages are up. I’ve set up a new navigator in art because the old one was virtually illegible.
There’s some older work on these pages right now, but I’ll be posting more shortly (famous last word).
Design is also up, but it’s in a limbo state right now. Actually I think I’ll work on that right now.
Drawing dump, new plans
New drawings from a recent vacation in canada in sketchbook. Here’s one of ‘em: Frankenstein’s Monster.

Some of my friends have gotten into home-brewing. It’s pretty awesome. This batch is divided into two beers, was bottled last weekend and will be ready for tasting this coming Saturday. They are titled “The Country Gentleman” and “S.O.G. (Super Original Great)”. Here are the labels I made for them.

So I’ve decided to go ahead and become a notary public. I feel this is the kind of responsibility I was born to shoulder. It’s pretty simple. In Michigan the only eligibility requirements are age (must be over 18) and language proficiency (The King’s Language of English). There is one caveat that I haven’t been able to get my head around though. You have to have a Surety Bond for $10,000 which, for 6 years, will run me about 60 bucks. Ad the two processing fees of 10 each and the notary seal stamp I’m going to have made this is close to a hundred bucks.
I also really want two KEY-BAKs, one fitted with a pen and the other with my stamp. I’ll be so action ready it will make passerby fall over.
In short I don’t have enough money to do this right now. At all. Rent and food are higher priority. This can be a long term goal.

quick sketches
Two new sketches in Art.
Still trying to set up this sticky Recent Additions thing. Sculpture post by the end of the week.
Presenting The Bee Man of Orn
I’m very proud to present something that will doubtless make 0 sense to any of you. Maybe I can give you alittle info buffer, so you wont think it’s just completely random…
The name of this is, as you probably already guessed, The Bee man of Orn vs Modern Society. It’s a grand epic of massive proportion. If any of you are like me, you probably dug on the book that inspired this ridiculousness: The Bee Man of Orn (original). This is kind of a reboot, but in actuality has little to no resemblance to it’s predecessor. This story only follows (very loosely) the cannon of the book: hero is a hermit, hero meets with intellectual and is told to find himself out in the world, hero meets characters and sees sights that show him the nature of the world, hero decides he likes being a hermit. Mine’s pretty… different. Enjoy.
I’m posting it here for now, but it’s place in the site will be the Design page, as soon as I have it up.

I’ve also started a sticky with most recent gallery additions. ?. This post will stay at the top, but change to the most recent thing up in the Art or Design sections. We’ll see how it works.

I went to Wells Hall to see a early screen of 300 this past Thursday. Student Activities hands out more tickets than they can fit in to ensure capacity.
“O.K.” I thought. “We’ll just get there an hour early.” Tim, Eric and I showed up one hour early, at 7. The line wound around the entire lower floor, at least 600 people were there as early as us. An hour and a half later, a tiny girl with 6 hulking cops in tow presented herself before us.
“Alright! Everybody listen! Up here! Look at me!”
Oh good, I thought.
“Warner Brothers did not hold up their deal with us! We haven’t received the reel! There is no movie, everybody go home!”
….
That’s what I call free interest research for Warner Brothers.
Eyes open, Weblog Cesarian Section
I’m back and ready for everthing.
All the old entries have been purged, this blog came out clean and raw on the other side. A fresh slate is always desirable, and I’m glad to shuck my old, largely useless collection of entries. This new iteration of my website will consist of two, mutually codependent aspects, the a.) Art and the b.) Blog. Being the third version, this site has a lot to live up to… 3 being such a magic number. “Three’s the charm, website. Don’t you dare disappoint me.”
Art comes within the week.
Hey, I have an idea. Let’s make it interesting. How about a betting pool on how long I continue making entries in this? Everybody send me $5.
There, now wasn’t that interesting?
