My ACTUAL Simspons Avataur
My apologies, that was my Simpsons "avatar". THIS is my actual Simpsons "avaTAUR":
What was I thinking? That was too good a pun to pass up...

My Simpsons Avataur
My pal Jim Davies pointed out an "avatar creator" on The Simpsons Movie website that lets you create your own "avatar" - an image of yourself, drawn Simpsons style. Here's mine:
(The t-shirt of Porsche the Centaur is not available in the standard avatar shirt selection; you'll have to roll your own with your own copy of Photoshop or the Gimp).

Almost Certainly Magdalene Veen
About a year or so ago, I was doing some art practice for the next issue of fanu fiku and found, downloaded and printed a whole bunch of images of people, clothing, and events that reminded me of fanu fiku's central character, Xiao Dreamweaver.
After a few months of scribbling, one of those practice drawings finally turned out quite well in my narcissistic little eyes: a woman with goggles in an image I found off Warren Ellis' web site.
Since the original picture was off someone's personal site filled with other similar pictures, in a fit of hubris I decided to send it to the woman and/or photographer who'd put it up in case they wanted it. Unfortunately, the link was gone off Warren's site when I returned, or I no longer had the savvy or the recollection necessary to find it.
After much hunting, I have determined that this picture is almost certainly Magdalene Veen of the band Abney Park, which, as I have apparently produced fan art for them, I guess I am now obligated to go check out.
As should you all.

Where oh where have my fanu gone?
Hm... f@nu fiku is down.
But so are my hosting provider and my domain name provider for that site and at least one other site I control. So it's not just some bandwidth limit thing ....
Hmmm... more news as it happens.

Dreams too big for the sky
f@nu fiku is here.
Right now most of the material on the site is preliminary
(and yes, I know there are broken links; they'll be fixed
after I finish giving a talk this week) but the storyline
for the first arc, Premonitions, begins on Monday.
(... and in case you're wondering why the story
story doesn't begin until next week... it's because I
wanted to get in the habit of forcing myself to finish
at least one page each week so I won't fall behind.
Currently I'm five weeks ahead. Let's see how long
that lasts.)
Enjoy.

The Gallery is OPEN!
A whole passel of my art can now be seen on the Gallery page.
Kudos to Gordon for pointing out IrfanView, which made building the gallery a breeze.
And in other news, Fanu Fiku: Premonitions starts online October 4th and will run weekly. As I get ahead/behind on Fanu Fiku, I may or may not try to get Death Wish finished in online comic form as well.
Hope yall enjoy!

Okay, OKAY, I *get* the *point*!
SO I'm sitting in a panel atAnime Weekend Atlanta 10 listening to the always delightful Piro talk about how drawing works for him, busy taking notes while sketching faces for practice in the margins.
Then the panel ends ... and a young lady sitting next to me asks me to do a sketch, because she liked what I was drawing so much. Then someone else commented on my t-shirt. And finally, out of the blue, while I was talking to a distributor of the fanfilm "Batman vs. Joker vs. Aliens vs. Predator vs. more Aliens vs. more Predators", he asked, "So, do you have a web site, and is any of your stuff on it?"
So, OKAY, I get the point! I'll put f@nu fiku and my other art online already. The gallery is half done, hopefully to be finished by Wednesday, and the front cover of Fanu Fiku will go up on Monday.
Stay tuned...
