Vehicle Woes
One of the most challenging parts of illustrating comics is that you’re often faced with things you’ve never drawn before, yet are vital to the scene. You pretty much have to learn to draw it real fast: not only does it have to look right, but you need it to blend with all of the things you can illustrate easily. And you know what, guys?
Cars are freaking hard.
But nowadays, thanks...

asimplekoipond:
Under Sec 5.2(1)(c) of the ID screening regs of Aeronautics Act: “An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents.” This means that anyone who is a post-op or non-op trans* person can be turned away from getting on flights in Canada. This is blatant discrimination towards the...

So, "Contagion."
Last night, we wound up watching Contagion (2011) and it was surprisingly entertaining. Granted, I could have enjoyed a little more proper “wrapping up” of storylines at the end, but the whole artsy you-don’t-get-to-know thing was just fine, too. You know what did bother me about the movie? (Here’s a lengthy pause for someone to jump in with the obvious answer, but NO.) It...

halleybutt replied to your post: dos the main charrie from your comic (find chaos) look like chloe moretz on purpose?
haha weird, this actress looks a ton like my little sister
That. Is Hilarious. And I am really sorry for all of the things I have or will portray your sister doing, apparently.

In the Future..
When my life is documented in a made-for-TV-movie (I’m thinking it’ll be called: “A. Stiffler’s Story: We Totally Thought It Was an American Pie Reference Until We Saw the Period, But Then We Had Already Signed This Stupid Contract”), I want the segment that documents my salon schooling of so many years ago made into a samurai-esque epic.
I’ll go through all of...

halleybutt:
A lot of the time on tumblr, I see posts bashing certain works (comics, movies, tv shows, etcetera) and/or refusals to watch these certain works because the characters might be transphobic, sexist, racist, and all other -ists imaginable. Which is fine! People are allowed to not like things. We all…
This all makes great sense and strikes a tone with us for two reasons.

I feel like Tumblr should have a Dashboard Setting that says, “Stop Notifying Me Every Time Tumblr Changes the Tumblr Radar Image, God Damnit.”
Some people might not like the mild profanity, but the majority will understand that it’s completely necessary.

WatchPart 2 of 5AM NSFW: “Paradise Circus” by Massive Attack (Zed’s Dead Remix).
Even if Part 1 is not your cup o’ tea, I recommend this above all others. Heck, even if you minimize this page to piously avoid the naked chicks, this music is amazing.

Word Salad
I know I mention my wife’s schizophrenia a lot. However, I’ll admit that it’s a little biased, because I have my own problems. Nothing I would openly own up to except to my wife or very, very close friends, but I will say a major factor of it: “Word (god damned) Salad.” In any given day, I will thoroughly screw up at least 5-10 times a day. Which sucks, because I am...

Guess who got a Tumblr! →
My wife’s been kicking the idea of creating her own Tumblr account for some time, especially since this Tumblr account is, as she put it delicately, “completely a boy’s Tumblr.” I was going to come up with a snappy comeback, but upon reflection, I realized she was completely right.

So, you guys should really check it out! In case you need a refresher on...

This documentary is so good, it’s SO GOOD. I’ll let the description speak for itself: Part one: “director Donald Brittain chronicles the early years of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and René Lévesque. From their university days in the 1950s to 1967 when Lévesque left the Liberal Party and Trudeau became the federal Minister of Justice, Brittain attempts to get at the heart of what makes...

Re-Copyrighting Okayed by Supreme Court →
Alright, folks, I’m breaking the brief bout of internet silence early because I’ve just spent the last 20 minutes ranting loudly (to an unfortunate audience of one) about this article ever since my wife pointed it out to me. To summarize it, the Supreme Court decided that it was perfectly okay for Congress to re-copyright works that have previously become Public Domain. As I see it,...
vervex replied to your post: On Critique…
Actually what you’re referring to as good critique is constructive criticism. Regular critique might as well be “this art sucks”. It would be mean and, well, bad for the artist, but it would still be critique. Just playing with words here :)
True, that. Despite the fact a technical “critique” is largely defined by critical analysis,...

On Critique...
Continuing the trend of random FYI posts, I feel the need to comment on Critiques and Feedback, and more specifically, how people handle them.
Giving a creator feedback and critiques is vital to the ever-changing process of producing art (of any kind). Done the right way, it can create an excellent conversation and even give insights from perspectives they may have not known. Simply put:...

Icon Stuff.
So, I decided the super-outdated icon was a little, y’know, outdated, and a photo session was initiated. Though I thought one pic was, in my humble words, “totally awesome,” my wife tweaked it gradually through Photoshop to make it… ..well, I’ve used up “totally,” so I guess I’ll call it “no way that’s me.” I’m way more dorky...
