So now I can get back to doing other useful things like homework.
(No, I don’t know why Bob is riding the conference logo. He just does odd things like that sometimes.)

Well, I figured that even though I’m off being aloof in Texas at the Flashforward conference, I could at least put up something interesting, if not somewhat random. If I actually had access to a scanner, it might be something relating a bit more to my current situation, but since I don’t, you’ll just have to wait ’till later to see Stickman Bob riding the conference logo.

I know this incessant posting about krakens is annoying Rachel like crazy, but I just had to point out this song I found a few days ago by Jonathan Coulton. And yes, it really is about what you think I’m making you think it’s about. Seriously. So go listen.

This is just a fairly quick brain illustration I did a little while back. When I started, the plan wasn’t to make it quite that stylized, but I like how it turned out — with all those fun squiggly lines and such. I should probably try to do that on purpose more often…



That’s right folks. With the redesign comes not only new colors and a new header, but a new name (and domain name – take a look at the URL). And while I, for one, cannot doubt the absolute clarity that a title like Nathan’s Blog brought to this website, I also knew that it was, to put it bluntly, hideously boring.
This is less boring, hopefully.

This is probably the last of this series, as I’m now going to try to focus on a bit of site redesign. If it ends up taking too long, though, I’ll probably put one or two other random things up, just to keep the site from going stale…


(That’s “nautilus of unusal size”, in case you were wondering.)

Even though there’s not too much that’s really different between it and a normal overweight squid, I like how this one turned out. Probably because it feels a bit more dynamic, and the shading isn’t quite as… tangled… as it sometimes is.
I should also point out that if it buries itself body-first in the sand, it can pretend to be a giant scary sea star with a gaping maw where its body should be. I don’t know why it would, though. Maybe it just gets bored easily.
