Life Without Taffy

Today on Boing Boing there was a little piece about velvet unicorn paintings. Heck, we have two hanging in our bedroom that we got at the thrift shops on two different occasions. Yeah!

Don’t try this unless you want to screw up your eyes for an afternoon. Looks cool though.

A photographic Mysterio Monday this week. Yeps. Find out what this is all about here.

A little photoshopping and our mild-mannered cat becomes a horrible man-eating beast. Yikes!

Finally. An Illustration Friday topic I’m already way into. Here’s my monster. Ink and Watercolor. Not too sure why he doesn’t have a bottom jaw. Weird.

Update!

I found the sketch I did for this one. I left it at work the other day, and my drawings are usually thrown away if I leave them. Ballpoint pen on scrap paper.

So I drew this crappy little comickstrip during my lunch break today. Drawn using the crappy ballpoint pen and dot-matrix paper that was already at work. I kind of like the constraints of such an undertaking. Trying to draw and eat in limited timeframe may have varied results, but I like this first installment. I originally was going to have zombies in line at an unemployment office, but that would’ve been a little more complicated. Yeah.

So I was screwing around with the various settings on k.t.’s digital camera and I took this particular ghostly photo. That’s me on the left in front of Mysterio.

Hey gang. Another Mysterio Monday. Two of them for you this week:

Me and k.t. are way into the DS game Animal Crossing. Way into it. So I thought I’d combine one passion with another. Hence, the Mysterio kitchen tile.

This one was done on one of those rainbow scratcher things. Roseart Rainbow Scratch Drawing kit. Yeah. That’s it. I got it for Christmas as I tend to get art products and the like for gifts. I like the way it turned out. I should’ve drawn Spider-Man a little bigger in the corner there.

Check out the previous Mysterio Mondays here.

So I found this grocery list written on the back of a Publix Special Order form. Guessing that the listmaker was British and wanted cigarettes as the bottom item, I could only imagine the look he/she would have gotten had they attempted to special order some fags. Shite!
