The Big September ’06 Banner Swap

9/25/'06 / moonbug

Out with the old, in with the new! The previous moonbug banner (codename “meh”) had been sitting up there for close to 2 years, its depicted “self-portrait” leading many a reader into believing that I am an old, grumpy, ugly curmudgeon. While all of the aforementioned adjectives may well be true (with the obvious exception of “ugly”), I figured it was time for a change. The new one is a cropped version of this photo as taken by my beloved better half. I hope you like it, as it is here to stay. If not, you can always keep abreast of moonbug dot org via RSS. You decide…

Quickie

9/21/'06 / moonbug

I had fun last night sketching a buxom Betty Page-esque 50s stripper (yes: this does have a purpose, stay tuned). The drawing’s unfinished at present, however here’s a litle time-lapse movie showing the proceedings thus far (partial nudity alert).
My attempt at a YouTube version turned out to be rather crappy, alas.
In other news, I’ve posted some pictures of my “workspace” on Flickr for your perusal. You’ll note the slightly surreal webcam-taped-to-a-microphone-stand set-up used to shoot the movies.
Gabriela took some nice pictures of the area where we live. So nice in fact, people in the comments are convinced it is a cardboard stage dreamed up by scriptwriters. Ha!

The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of YouTube

Heee! Greg and I managed to goad Pat into uploading video of him playing and singing a couple of tunes. Now if only I could convince Gabriela to sing “Lunes Otra Vez” in front of the iSight while I accompany her on guitar.

Tattoo You: Epilogue

9/8/'06 / moonbug

For those who haven’t been following along: I had been commissioned recently to make a drawing which was to be the basis of a tattoo eventually.

Now that the drawing has finally turned into an actual tattoo, I can tell you that the “client” was Pat of thebooge.ca. His account of the proceedings if you’re interested: “Marked For Life”.

I’m delighted to know the tattoo turned out splendid. Buzz of SilverLine Tattoo, it must be said, did an incredible job producing a tattoo based on what was a pretty complex drawing.

You’re dying to see that tattoo by now, aren’t you? Well here it is:

A little reddish and ouchy still, yes — however: mission accomplished. May it bring you and your family nothing but good karma, Pat!
