Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

So, fairyarmadillo and I were talking the other night and somehow we started discussing narmwhals. Not a typo; "narm" as in "more forceful version of nom."

We each pictured in our head what we thought a narmwhal looked like and drew what we saw. Please to enjoy. We've also started a Flickr group to display our mutualistic arts called Stone Robot Art Projects.

In the mean time, NARMWHALS:





Love,

...but I've been watching it for years, and I love this photo of his.

It's snapshots like this that make me carry a point-and-shoot camera in my pocket at all times.

Thanks, Shimon.

You know that book? That one by Neil Gaiman?



There's a competition right now of people auditioning for a speaking role in a full-cast recording of the novel. My friend Clarissa is still in the top 20--the cut-off for consideration--but there are only a few days left and a flurry of recent votes has changed things up a bit.

Click here to vote for her.

You have to register, but it's easy and painless. You can vote once a day, so get on it!

Thanks!

We had a fucking awesome week in Shanghai with my brother Nathan and old friends of hers--and new friends of mine--Tinny and Jarek. We are slowly putting up pics on our Flickr accounts. Here are some of mine and some of hers. Click on them to be whisked away to that person's Flickr account. More pics are forthcoming.

Me:

A relatively average apartment building:




If nobody's in your shop, why not nap with your dog? Makes sense to me.




My lady eats delicious la mian Muslim noodles from a street vendor:



Hers:

Red panda goes OM NOM NOM on some bamboo:




Ancient temple, modern city:




Me eating stinky tofu, which was delicious:



And yes, fairyarmadillo and I shot several So You Don't Have To videos, including one with my little brother Nathan.

Lurve,

I told Nadja that I was going to draw something that I sleepily described to her a few days ago. This thing involved a hippo, and I told her I might try to freehand it. She gave me one of those "O RLY?" looks and said we should both freehand one.

I am so crazy in love and we go to China in four days, one day after the play she's been working her ass off for, where she's handmade over a dozen alien costumes for junior high kids.

Yes, you'll get pics of both.

Don't say I never do nothing for you little monkeys.

Love,
