By this point, Sir Reginald’s trip across the bridge had become a tedious, delirious journey. Five weeks since he first found the Misty Misty Water Bridge, one of the few remaining entrances to a place he had read about for years. The bridge had never been a priority, just one of those things you toss around in your head as something you’d maybe like to do someday if you get the time and the weather is right. Well, it was someday, he had the time, and the weather was just right.
The directions had been in a book he obtained absolutely by accident. The online purchase of a near-mint, first edition of Convent Cruelties brought them to him in the form of extra pages glued into the middle. He spent days of highly-skeptical research confirming their authenticity.
Christ, Reginald thought as he saw large, bejeweled shadows in the a few yards ahead of him, it’s more fucking nomes.

FUCK I WROTE A STORY?
Jan. 5th, 2012 10:34 pmOh shit. I wrote a Sir Reginald story. Oh shit. Wow. Okay, I'm just gonna post that in the morning. Zounds. It's been a very, very long time since I could do that. Fuck. Wow. Fuck.
I know that Stan Lee and Werner Roth [aka Jay Gavin] weren't fucked-up on drugs when they did their issues of Uncanny X-Men, but one could certainly build a believable case....
THEY built it for him! Overnight! So courteous!
I'm sure they'd do that for all of their patients, not just the scary / hated / feared mutants who only need a sulfa drug administered.
Especially the ones who ALSO have fully functioning mouths where one could administer, say, a sulfa drug.
Bless you, grindhouse comic writing.

fairyarmadillo and I roll.
Toys need rock concerts and dance parties, too, a set on Flickr.
GET OFF YO' ASS AND DANCE.
The face part of benjamin's vitiligo is far more pronounced in blacklight at Black Light Minigolf at Arrowhead Lanes, originally uploaded by benchilada.
The clown-face ring around my lips, the dots across my face, the weird black circles under my eyes. You should see it close-up with a blacklight wand.
Seriously, she fucking loves them. Click the pic for the next two steps in Funyuning the Cat (which is my new autobiography title, by the way).

As for me loving Jedi the most, don't give none, don't get none. Respect to all three.
The alarmingly amazing Nadja "fairyarmadillo" Robot has set up the first iteration of:
The Stone Robot Enterprises Art Store!
We currently have four images on four different products. They are:
LEMON MERENGUE PI:
FANCY BIRD:
HEMINGWAY COMIX:

Products are shirts, coffee mugs, beer glasses, and tote bags.
We also take requests for products with other shitty drawings I've made or other great drawings that Nadja made.
OUR ERA BEGINS TODAY.

Heard about that whole Time Magazine cover kerfluffle? My Robot--aka fairyarmadillo--has made a great graphic to help people understand why they're getting so upset over one vague and misleading example, and how they can fight confirmation bias simply by being aware of it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just type "time magazine cover egypt" into The Googles.
Maybe another piece will be needed to explain that even the guy who has to decide whether to sell his handmade shirts at the Farmer's Market or the simultaneously-occurring Arts and Crafts Fair uses target marketing, which is what Time Magazine is doing.
Please look at all of the images before reading the text at the bottom, and always bear in mind that 80% of TIME's distribution and readership is in the United States.
( BIG image, but totally worth your time. :D )The image can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nadja_robot/6431422625.
Now go share with your friends. Together, we can beat confirmation bias.
Well, I know that I can.
;P

Guess it's Christmouse/Khanuchka/Kwaanzaaa time again, and we all need to get presents for friends.
BUT!
We all have an awesome chance here. As news about our economy stagnates and massive corporations bemoan their less-than-unpleasant fates, we can feel kinda helpless. Remember, though, that there are ways we can help improve things, ways that DON'T require giving hoards of money to big box stores or places whose practices we dislike but where we must shop by necessity.
Improve the economy by BUYING LOCAL and BUYING HANDMADE. We're here to help.
--- Do you sell art?
--- Do you sell other items?
--- Do you have friends who do these things?
--- Do you know of a local business that could use a little boost?
If you answered YES to ANY of those questions, please read The Rules of the Game.
If you answered NO to all of those questions, you confuse me.
THE RULES OF THE GAME:
1) PIMP ART THAT YOU HAVE FOR SALE - Doesn't matter what kind of art you make. I don't care if you've got a novel or mini-comics or original art or t-shirts or if you recreate historical stabbings with mashed potatoes or whatever. Doesn't matter if you already make money off of your art. I want to hear about it and so does the public, whether they know it or not,
2) PIMP ONLY ART THAT IS FOR SALE - Please no "None is for sale but here's my art." The Big Shill is for people to--WITH LUCK--make a little cash or get some awesome shit. By shit I mean art...unless your art is poop-sculpture, in which case I mean both,
3) PIMP LOCAL BUSINESSES - Tell us about the store and why they're awesome. Local doesn't always mean super great, after all. Link to a website, tell why they're awesome, post pics, and make it obvious where they're located,
3) PIMP IN THE COMMENTS SECTION - Make sure that you make an individual comment to the entry itself! This way people skimming the comments can see your stuff. If you make a response to somebody else's comment with your art, it will probably get compressed as the day goes on and will no longer be visible. A good comment will, ideally, have a photo of your art, a link to your website, how much people can expect to pay for your art, how people can pay for your art, and whether or not you will accept other art in trade, i.e. a minicomic for a minicomic,
4) PIMP EACH THING ONLY ONCE - Multiple comments will be probably deleted, unless you've got a
correction to make to an earlier comment. If you positively horribly must have something in the comments that you totally forgot the first time, let me know and we'll try to get it in if it's not just more photos of more stuff but rather a real update that people need to know. I'd prefer that people take a little time crafting their comment to having to allow tons of comments from single individuals,
5) PIMP THIS ENTRY TO YOUR FRIENDS - The more that people hear about this, the more likely your art is to sell, the more likely art of others is to sell, the more likely that penguins will strike ice fish from bel--no, that was the special I watched a few years ago on PBS. But, yeah, tell people about this whether you
have art in it or not,
6) COME BACK TO THIS ENTRY TODAY AND TOMORROW AND SO ON - Since this entry should be constantly updated, there will be more stuff to see all the time. I'll have a few reminders, including at least one tomorrow, one over the weekend and one on Monday. If you get tired of the reminders, the Sit-n-Spin is in the corner, as is the raggedy butt-plug,
7) ANONYMOUS COMMENTS ARE ENABLED - This is for anybody who swings by but doesn't have an LJ...which will happen if you obey Rule 5. If you're commenting anonymously, simply follow the instructions in Rule 3, just add who you are and be very specific about contact information, et cetera,
Possibly the most important of all...
8) BUY THINGS!!! - Obviously not everybody is going to be able to buy shit. I'm cool with that. But if you see something that's reasonable and you have a little extra cash from that trick you turned at 3 a.m. then consider using it for a good cause. If you see a good book or a good poop sculpture, buy it. You'll probably not regret it.
