A man can dream, can't he? If I ever get a graphic novel cover commission the unicorns will rejoice, the pond nymphs will feast on jelly bean wine and river trolls will frolic to the ethereal sounds of manatee songs.

Escopon was on his way to work. Daily he mounted his trusty Pracil for the long treck up Valponin. Entering the centuries old path, the Pracil dutifully kept it's right shoulder to the wall. A wise move considering the fall and swift descent to the rock below if it were to slip off the narrow track. A very dreary, wearying and and yet timeless duty.
Too bad Escopon was terrified of the escalator on the other side of the hill.

You could probably put together a short children's book with selections and riffs from your website, John. It could even rhyme if you started a Limerick What? or something else rhymey.
3 arbees for G, btw. :-)

HEY GANG
Entertaining stuff! I'm glad this site can inspire such wacky riffs.
Love the participation. And G?...it's writing like that makes running out farfetched illustrations worth it.

John, tech question:
How'd you get the background to fuzz/fade from the foreground?
Posted by GarandFan | May 13, 2011 6:22 PM

HEY G
Two different drawings: soldier and creature is one illustration, the mountainous background is another. I can manipulate each layer separately in Photoshop.
The real trick is melding the two and have the finished work be visually seamless.

Nancy the pterodododactyl didn't take too kindly to being muzzled & ridden by a flying monkey guard...
...& why so many so-called "liberals" had trouble with young-earth creationism was difficult to understand, considering that they themselves are dinosaurs--flourishing, no less--from a recent bygone era. They should have gone extinct at least twice by now...

Some time before, I needed to buy a good car for my corporation but I did not have enough money and could not order anything. Thank God my friend proposed to try to get the home loans from creditors. Therefore, I acted that and was satisfied with my small business loan.

In today's job market there is a lot of competition out there. The first "round" of competition is your Curriculum Vitae (also known as a job resume). Your CV is the very first, and often the most important, step in getting a job.

Do not make things up or exaggerate. Avoid complex formatting, patterns and covers. Avoid using CV templates.

Occasionally I just feel that folks write and dont genuinely have significantly to say. Not so here. You definitely have some thing to say and you say it with style, my man! You certain do have an intriguing way of drawing people in, what along with your videos and your words. Youve got quite a one-two punch for a weblog!
