let the good times roll

I don’t like receiving mail from unhappy clients in ALL CAPS first thing in the morning, on a weekend, when I don’t get paid. We need to make a special mail filter, you know, the kind that doesn’t let mail like that come through until *after* I’ve had a huge cup of coffee.

Going through some old files from the old comp and stumbled on these:

Lady Fish Nips

return of the Castle skull drafts… featuring self-replicating semi-naked floating girls

“sometimes when we hold on to things, we cheat ourselves”

kind of appropriate these days, but hey - no rest for the whiny. revisiting a recently put-away CG work, featuring some minor edits and major filtering… you’ll remember it from this post:

Lighting’s pretty dark here but the contrasts make it work.

In other news: Someone requested another private commission with a jazz/blues theme. That makes 3 in the last 6 months so I have to ask- is this a fad or making a come back or what?

I love jazz, love the blues even more but… the timing between all 3 requests seems odd.

Guess all things come in waves.

We that are true lovers, run into strange crappers…

That’s right, crappers.

Tonight I was domestic with the cleaning up and the making of roast beast in a big pot with po-ta-toes. The world is lonesome and… tender.

BTW – Skulls eating horns in the 11th dimension of swirly, psychedelic doom… with amps and guitars and stuff. If only you knew how many incarnations this thing went through:

good morning heartache, what’s new?

still no luck, but I’ll confess – I’m loving the monkey bones:

attempting art that involves bone-like things… going back to near-gothic roots is a little intimidating. so far, it’s looking more quirky than gothic:

‘I believe in music the way that some people believe in fairy tales’

august rush, a simple play on a classic story with a taste for all things music. not a bad combo, plus – guitar slapping… reminds me of two things:

1.) “Slap Her, She’s French”

2.) The Silent Fool by Eric Mongrain:

‘for realistic objects interlaced’ - pale fire

books are a theme this week… though the subject leans more in the asp php whatchamacallit direction lately. not quite as fun, you know, unless asp and php somehow hook up through a mutual scripting friend only to fall madly in and out of love for several years until one day, after many bad jokes relating to language errors and financial mishaps involving a flash based monkey widget invoking the ‘blue screen of death’ – they stage an online bank heist and put the money towards developing a magical new framework where they both live happily ever after (which would most likely include several odd years of therapeutic debugging).

it could be a dramedy. O_o;

I’m such a nerd. *sigh*
