If that ain't love...
This is the first card Tina Garceau made for me back in 1993. It was constructed using bookbinding methods. The images of my head were from a black and white photograph, photocopied until they became posterized and photostatted on clear film for this project. The reverse of the film was painted with gouache, and the film was wrapped around chipboard.

The Route 23 Fashion Plate
I don’t own a car and wind up taking the bus or train when I can’t get where I’m going on foot. I was on SEPTA’s Route 23 Bus heading South when I spied this beauty. Putting it politely, this gal was somewhat grander than petite, but she was dressed to the plus nines and working it like a model. I committed her to memory and drew her in my sketchbook as soon as I got home.

Communist Mutants From Space
This was a game for use with a short-lived but interesting gaming system that worked in conjunction with the Atari 2600. It was a cartridge that had a port that patched to an ordinary cassette tape player. The games were on the tape cassette. Push play, and it would take a while to load into the cartridge. When it was finally done, you could play games that were more complex than what was offered on ordinary Atari cartridges. Communist Mutants was a Space Invaders/Phoenix type of game.
I saved the cover of the box, but the game is long gone.
This guy has an excellent video covering it:

Don't Look Back
The electric pencil sharpener my Father bought me while I was still in high school died today.
I still like and use wooden pencils, and I want to get another one, but it won't be electric. I'm looking around eBay for a vintage, hand-crank, American-made sharpener. One that's older than me that will outlive me. It doesn't have to have wood grain.

Shriek
Another sketchbook scribble from the primordial past that was 1986. This was done in Kohinoor Rapidograph, and I think I had doing a shrieking vampire head in mind, but I don't really recall.
This ended up appearing in Brain Dead which was a punky fanzine circa the early to mid '90s.

My favorite new pen
It's a Faber-Castell big brush pen. It has a tapered, brush-like felt tip. I use the thinner ones and Pigma's version, but this feels great doodling with.
I know I should be practicing with my Wacom tablet, but I can't let these pens go!

Depth Charge
Chris Kalnick was kind enough to send me a copy of his Depth Charge comic. It's a beautifully designed mini-comic that fits into an A2 envelope. Supposedly we are in a post print age, but I really got a charge out of holding and reading this elegant little piece.
Check out the web version at CO2 Comics here.
While you're there, have a look around. There's a lot of fun stuff there brought to you by the fellows who started Comico. Go NOW!
Thanks Chris!

After - Inside the G4
What's nice about the tower design is expandability which is something the Mini (which I own) and the all-in-ones like the iMacs lack. I scavenged a number of parts and bought a few - "Frankensteining" together what to me is a new and perfectly viable work and play computer.
Before - Inside the G4
I had an eMac which I loved, but after the monitor went, I promised myself that I would never get another all-in-one. My options as far as buying new looked dim. I did a little reading: spent a lot of time at lowendmac.com and decided to try a used machine.
This is my G4 as it looked when I first got it from Wegener Media. I bought it used although the folks at Wegener did a thorough job cleaning it and probably swapped out a few parts that needed replacing. I did some research, and realized that I could have a great machine for not a lot of money. This is the beginning. I will post other pictures of the parts I replaced.

The Spider
"Death Reign of the Vampire King"
A 1975 reprint of a 1935 pulp. With Conan doing so well in new editions with Frazetta covers a lot of the old pulps were ripe for repackaging. The Spider was one of them. He was very much like the Shadow and the Green Hornet complete with a Kato-like valet and sidekick. I started rereading it, and it's obvious to me that Bob Kane must have read a few Spider pulps before he cooked up Batman.
The 1975 cover dropped the Spider's theatrical costume designed to strike terror into the hearts of criminals in favor of depicting a generic gun-toting adventurer which made it appear to be more like a James Bond or Destoyer novel. It's more like Doc Savage than Ian Fleming. It's pulp at its pulpiest.
The illustrator's painting looks like Darren McGavin.

Battlestar Galactica 1978 TV Guide Cover
I never really cared for this illustration, but I kept the cover for years. A few years later, I would be entering art school, and this is the kind of illustration some of my teachers would be championing. LUCY everything and arrange it artfully. It looks like the guy took more time rendering the patterns on Lorne Greene's tunic than he did drawing the half-hearted Galactica which looks more like the ship from either "2001" or "Silent Running.".

All the kids are doing it
Today it's branding, piercing and tattoos, tomorrow it will be gene splicing with nonhuman DNA and cybernetic augmentation. Although your friend is really good with tools, it would probably be a mistake to let him implant that new digital olfactory array so "you can, like, smell colors" or give you a really cool pair of titanium tyrannosaurus legs. It might not work out so well.

Riding the Big White Bus
This is from an old sketchbook of mine and based on personal experience. I was rooting around while doing some Spring cleaning and found this. I drew it in a Strathmore sketchbook with a Kohinoor Rapidograph technical pen almost 22 years old.
