Because… why not?
Actually, this was Rosemary’s suggestion last night when I asked her what I should post this morning. It was kind of fun just churning something out really quickly without thinking too hard about it… I may have to do that more, and start taking suggestions or something.
The Plight of the Rainbow Bird
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007
Once deforested almost to extinction, the rainbow bird has recently seen an improvement in living conditions as they have begun renting themselves out to malls as reindeer stand-ins. This is, of course, thanks to their iconic feather crest and the ability to grow extra legs when needed.
Renfield Takes a Stand

Apparently this particular feline has not been exposed to what this pigeon can do with a good quality nunchaku, or it would already have vacated the premises. As it stands, the cat is most likely going to find out very quickly that Renfield is no less skilled in the ways of the fencing foil.
Not Just for Trees
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006As Rachel was quick to point out regarding the problem with drawing trees (in the previous post), “Dead and/or leafless trees are easier and more interesting.” This is quite true, of course.
However, it also works as a general rule of thumb for other subjects. Cats, for instance.
Concerning Owls and Wands
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006
Okay, so a while back I came up with this random image in my head, which, after a few iterations, became what you see above. I have to admit though, I didn’t really ever figure out what this particular barn owl might be doing with this specific wand.
So anyway, I thought this might be a good time to try a bit of reverse illustration, in which you get to give the “original” bit of story (a paragraph or two) in which the pictured event happens. I suppose you could think of it as concise fan fiction, but with less fawning over Sirius Black (or so one hopes).
And while we’re on the subject of wands, It’s interesting how precisely evil You-Know-Who’s looks. I wonder if Ollivander made one like that every once in a while just to keep from discriminating against certain types of wizards. I can just imagine Tom Riddle getting his wand…
Tom: Actually… er, I was wondering if I could take a look at your Artful Devilry™ and Brimming with Evilness™ collections…
Chickens are Annoying
Wednesday, May 31st, 2006
I did a little bit of sketching while we were visiting Rosemary’s aunt and uncle who have quite a few animals around. The chickens were a bit frustrating to draw since they didn’t like to hold still, plus after a few minutes all the roosters decided to start crowing at me. Probably because:
- They thought I was going to feed them.
- They realized I wasn’t going to feed them.
- I was blocking their view of the house from whence the food would actually come.
In any case, the crowing got old pretty quickly, so I decided to go draw something a bit more… dead.
(Stay tuned!)
