The Girl in Gold Shoes

lil bit windy today

We are lucky today that there are no leaves on the trees, there'd hardly be any left standing. I took a drive to the library this afternoon, traffic lights were out, trees down, police everywhere, craziness. The library's internets were down, so the usual group of people weren't crowded around the computers. I said to the librarian: "Wow, it sure is nice and quiet here today," and as soon as I did the power went out- she just said "Look at what you did." It was great, walking around the books in low light. I felt bad for the librarians though, there was a constant barrage of incoming calls inquiring about their internet. It's like the goddam Dark Ages around here when the www is cut off!

*As a side note, I remember once as a kid I had a Radio Shack circuit kit, with the springs and wires that connected the parts, and I had been working on some project, I think it was radio-based, and as soon as I hooked up the battery the lights went out, another weird coincidence, OR NOT?

the art of re-learning

A little bit rusty lately, but I think this turned out OK. There are some issues but lets keep them a learning experience...

workin' the vectors

I quick logo I whipped up this afternoon to get familiar with inkscape- vector stuff used to drive me nuts but I'm starting to enjoy it!

*as a side note Buffalo Lab isn't affiliated with this logo at this time- If they want their name removed shoot me a cease and desist!

Level 1 Spellweaver

For some reason I'm nostalgic for the old D&D days lately, and I remember the best part of creating characters was drawing them. I also remember never actually playing much at all, so my characters were always stuck at Level 1. So, I'm thinking of doing a series of Level 1 characters, here is the first:

Level 1 Spellweaver, off on her first adventure. She is equipped with some of her Grandma's old hand-me-down stale potions, tinctures, and powders; nobody remembers what they do or if they are still any good. She made her own staff because she had a crappy money roll, and blew most of her gold pieces on the red scarf, instead of something practical like 50' of rope.

Sir Leon "Sirloin" Clutterbuck

Knighted for his outstanding innovations and actions while serving in the Queen's Royal Navy, Sir Clutterbuck was one of the most sought after pit crew chiefs during his stint in the racing circuit- it wasn't unusual for him to be the most highly paid member of the squad, much to the chagrin of the vain racers.

Charles "Eye Steak" O'Shaughnessy

Charles O'Shaughnessy was a great innovator of safety, shown here demonstrating that his double-leather gloves, while protecting one's hands, were also dextrous enough to handle a delicate flower. Unfortunately, and some say ironically, during a race he downshifted into a hard turn, and the sudden deceleration caused his right padded glove to bump his eject button, thereby launching him into the turbine engine of a trailing Rocket Racer. He died. And his gloves were shredded.
