(Wicked cover by Simon Bisley)
Happy MLK Day everybody, I get to stay home from work! I need to finish my latest article before Nina wakes up. It’s all about Doom Patrol. They are cuh-razy. Bonkers. Messy nuts. I love them more with each new part of their myth I study, they remind me so much [...]
Sweet. I just downloaded a great little toy called Magic Set Editor, thanks to Doc Jones and his call for a Realms set. The program is keen fun, I hope I can stop playing with it long enough to get my next article finished. That pic is the first version of a cardboard encapsulation of my true [...]
So yesterday our spaghetti straps of love got swollen enough to fly this blog straight to the heart of the sun. We were featured on www.thursdaythirteen.com and held the top Religion post on WordPress all afternoon. Our feet won’t be feeling the ground for a few more days. A huge sincere Thank You goes out to all those [...]

I swear there are forces outside me that are guiding my shoes to step in EXACTLY the right piles. And then I figure that my self is probably big enough to absorb everything outside of me anyway. So I scamper off in my mind and discover a whole [...]

Some things cannot be spoken. Such is the way of today. Staying home from work for reasons you cannot know at this time. Good day.

Wow, what a whirlwind. Thanks to those luscious frozen lizards, we got cited on BOTH www.neatorama.com and www.boingboing.net. (Only the two coolest sites a computer can visit.) And then there was the Vaughn Bode thing, which now includes a wonderful email from his son Mark. I may never recover. Thanks to [...]
That is an image I created for Full Body Transplant back in the days we were making plastic body armor. I have no idea why it pixelated so drastically when I re-sized it. If you click on the barely recognizable image you will see my idea of high fashion in its full glory. Be careful if you are at [...]
(My painting entitled “First Love”, illustrating #1 on the list.)
Okay, this idea is lifted from numerous sources. The search terms people use to find our little corners of the blogosphere are an endless source of delight for those of us with access to such an information saturated medium. Here are my favorites from Full. Body. Transplant. These came in [...]
