Life Without Taffy

During the later months of 1915, a gas mask  consisting of a leather facepiece with eyepieces and a metal canister was issued to the German army. The facepiece was impregnated qith tallow and oil to make it gas-proof, the eyepieces were compound, with am outer glass lens and an inner lens of celluloid treated to prevent misting, and the canister contained layers of absorbant materials - charcoal. pumice and kieselguhr - mixed with various chemicals to filter and absorb the gases.

I’ve been drawing the masks I found in a thrft store book Gas. This is the third in a series. See them all here.

So I got a comment this afternoon regarding a font of mine that I had lost in a hard-drive crash a couple years back. Humpbunny was the font I based on an older font I found in a type book. There was a search going on in the What The Font forums for the original one. I didn’t even have my version any more. I did a little search. Humpbunny wasn’t the best name for this font as it made the Google search a little awkward. I found it on some Czechoslovakian font site. And here it is. Enjoy.

The lazy cat Mew doing what she does best: sleeping.

An old hand-drawn capitals only font. Enjoy!

I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve kinda been in an artistic rut of sorts. Today is apparently Drawing Day, so I figured I’d force myself to get something down on paper. I’ve been doing this little drawing exercise when I’m in a rut where I will pick out a random Pictionary card and draw one of the things on it. It gets me drawing, and stuff I usually don’t draw too. Here’s two I did today.

So I got the post title there as a comment on the wordpress.com version of my site, which I left up and just put a link to the new lifewithouttaffy.com site you’re looking at now. The comment was left on a silly little picture of Batman I did last year. See the original post here. I don’t know if ‘Nikki’ was looking at something else when he/she thought that it looked more like me than Batman, and that it was gayyyy. Gay with 4 y’s. That’s real gay apparently. So, by popular demand, here’s a picture of me as a gayyyy Batman. Enjoy.
