SAPCE GIRL

I'm having a proper nerd out over this one:

Serious, a montage of awesome ladies in sci fi? Yes, please, may I have another? I think I squeed the whole time I saw this for the first time, and cheered like a ridiculous fan girl the next few times. The song is pretty rad too.

comics! And the Farm!

So I've ben trying to get my comic skills sharp after several years of letting it go by the wayside. This means I've started doing void comics again, but with renewed determination and understanding. It also means I managed to make the longest comic I have ever made in my life, clocking in at 22 pages. here's part One and part Two. I have a lot of editing to do, since I was working on a deadline(also good practice) and missed a few things(also had to rush the last half so backgrounds suffered quite a bit. also, sad lack of tones.) Anyways, enough babbling. check it out. I'm going to give that story a break and let my brain recover for a sec.

I also went to the boyfriend's farm yesterday for the first time.

It was a really nice day, the first day where it actually felt like summer.

Here's the boyfriend, inspecting some strawberries.

And here are a few of the many awesome trucks.

Just after I left(to lock myself in my room and draw comics for 10 hours, believe me I did not want to go) they found a wild swarm of bee in one of their barns. So they found the queen, gave it a home and have a new swarm! I should add that they already keep bees, so they got an extra hive! woo hoo! I also got to ride around on the ATV(which I have to admit to failing at learning to drive...) yeah, it was loads of fun.

I also recently signed up to volunteer at the HUmane Society in town, because I don't do enough with my life. Actually, it's more that I wish I could have a dog, but don't have the time, money or real estate(or stability) to allow that, so I figure I can do some good and get to hang out with animals at the same time. You never know where that sort of thing will lead. Anyways, orientation doesn't start until the end of july, so I've got some time before that happens, but I'm still stoked!

music and nature wads

First, here's a way for me to share music, because I miss doing radio.



hopefully I can do these mixes on a semi regular basis. Also, I'm frantically working on comics, prints, and gardening. So far I haven't killed anything. The last few weeks have been EXTREMELY busy, so its a little weird to have some down time, but of course I'm using it to draw comics and procrastinate and learn esperanto.

here is one of the nature wad prints i'm working on...

100 artists

I wish my brain was this big.

They're coming...

Get ready for the Bump it Mafia. Nothing's going to stop a band of wild lady printmakers!

Also, I'm off to Santa Barbara for a few days. it's supposed to rain. trashcat is not amused. It should be fun anyways.

Take that, nightmares!

So I've been having dreams every night for the past month that have been ranging from mildly unpleasant to horrible nightmares. I had a particularly vivid one last night and the visuals were so strong I drew a few key scenes out(secretly using it to practice my photoshop painting skillz). If I'm going to dream every night, I might as well mine them for ideas. Here they are:


Once upon a time, a small detachment of mounted soldiers decided to get a message across to a neighboring country. most of the group stayed behind while two went ahead to scout territory.


I arrived on the scene just as the group of soldiers were turning around to go home. "What's going on? Why are you turning back?" I asked. "We don't work on thursdays" one of the soldiers replied.


I caught up with the two men at the shore of a dark bay with a land bridge that at one time crossed into the next kingdom. However, the ocean had taken its toll. (not pictured) about halfway across, the bridge turned to mud, and the two men and their horses had become stuck. By the time I got there both horses and one of the men had drowned.


When I finally made it to the remaining man, he was pretty stuck but we managed to get him out. as we were doing it, this freaky fish man kept circling us, looking like he was about to eat us. I tried to kick out but the water slowed me down, so I planned to keep my arms out of the water and hit it from above if it came too close. It apparently realized what I was doing, decided it was too much work for a snack and left us alone. I told the man to run for the cliffs, and safety.


Halfway up the cliff, I noticed that the man had been left behind me somewhere, adn the waters were now teeming with mermaids. They were very VERY dangerous, and I had a bad feeling they had taken the man. So I ran back to try and see where he had fallen in, adn this white mermaid reared out of the water to try to eat me alive.


I jumped in the water, despite the abnormally large albino mermaids, found the man, and dragged him back to the shore, using a reverse siren song(mostly just a bunch of half singing half yelling at mermaids) to fight off the mermaids.

and they all lived happily ever after...maybe.

Rima con...El Internet

I haven't done a Rhymes With segment in a bit. So enjoy El Internet and El Chiki Chiki on today's special spanish installment of Rima Con... I tried to find translations of both songs for non-spanish speakers(because they are much more enjoyable when you know what they are saying) but could only find the translation for El Chiki Chiki.
Get your Baila on.

El Internet, by Los Alguiens


El Chiki Chiki, by Rodolfo Chikilicuatre
