#drawing today. In a dream Tuesday morning I was looking at these really cool White Wolf magazines with way better covers than the real ones had. Some of them were by William O’Connor, alav hashom, I think this was a Kaluta cover.

I am painfully obviously NOT Michael Kaluta.

it's practically quiet hours do NOT howl along with the Heilung track

sunshine beatin' on the good times
moonlight racin' from the grave
string band playin' worn-out honky-tonks
pretty young thing goin' dancin' in the rain

high heeled lady spittin' at the nickerjacks
businessmen with a needle an' a spoon

Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp!

@anthracite @CoyoteTraveller I think the appeal for me is more;

the protagonist is from the world of the normal and mundane as a relatable point of contact in a weird magical (or sci fi) world. Frequently they're an 8-12 year old boy, and as an 8-12 year old boy, I wanted to be a swashbuckling archaeologist, a musketeer, a barbarian swordsman or any number of things WAY more than an 8-12 year old boy.

By comparison the magical sidekick is ALREADY part of the AWESOME world.

@Chip_Unicorn I wound up doing 3!

@ziphi see you in heaven if you make the list,
yeah yeah yeah yeah
well andy did you hear about this one
tell me are you lost in the punch

we all went out to Montauk
by the Lake Geneva shoreline
makin' fart noises with our armpits
we didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
made the juiciest farts around

Which is better for me to try first?

1) monster attacks someone in the water? If so during or about to attack?

2) wizard enchants an object while a batch of harpies look on?

3) more abstract layout of a vampire, mage and werewolf, all framed by smoking braziers?

@CoyoteTraveller i realized this morning I have the same “the character I want to be in the story/movie is the magical sidekick, NOT the protagonist” thing as you. I think it’s a tangle of narrative style meets gifted child experiences.

One more #drawing today. Smaller and less serious.

One #drawing today. I look and I go, THAT’S what you so desperately needed to make, o sensitive artist? Yep. Yes it was.

Do you ever feel the need to favorite peoples' photos, not because you think they're smokin' hot, but because you feel we've all been told we aren't/can't be be smokin' hot, and you feel them believing they are is GOOD and HEALTHY and should be encouraged at every turn?

something believe it or not sympathetic hit a sore nerve and I am this close to spewing incredibly bitter, angry bile which would alienate nearly everyone and would not help with anything.

Fiyuh and lightnin' comes from da sky, from da gods uv da sky. But crom is y'ghod, CROM! An' he lives in da oit! Onct, dey was giants in da oit, Conan. An' in da darkness of Chaos dey tricked Crom and dey took from him da enigma of steel.

Also I really REALLY want a nap. Like if you offered to fence me? Or buy me doughnuts? Or I could nap instead? I’d still take nap.

there's so much I want to do and explore and it really is NOT going to happen, which is frustrating.

reminded of joking about Terrence McKenna ordering a latte/speaking in only 2-3 sentence fragments before the beat drops

"France" is short for "FRench ambiANCE."
