An Attitude De-Justment

Image
     Another still picture of my bad tempered fursona.  Great.  I swear I am going all sequential on this site after today.  Perhaps an obscure incident from a war, something really nasty.  There's a lot out there.  Maybe something from one of my autopsy books.  Or the high jinx of the criminal underworld, now there's an idea.  Y'all ever hear of the Harpe brothers?  I would do Sawney Beane and his lovely family except that they never existed.  Same with Christie Kleek, good story that it is.  Manson is boring, ditto the Mafia.  How about Gordon Stewart Northcott, a real piece of work?  Man is a wolf to man, to coin a phrase.  I've thought of illustrating some of "Dog Soldiers" by Robert Stone but that is depressing even to me, and I love the book.  (the movie was called Who'll Stop The Rain, and is well worth seeing.  Upbeat compared to the book, and it ain't upbeat.)  England is always good for a hair-raising story, maybe I can find something the

A Reference That Needs No Explanation

     Probably the best known splash panel of all time.  Eisner was the tops..  Sorry I had to do this with a neurotic, hard-drinking rabbit but, hey, its what I do.  Deal with it.

A High Wind In Garfield

Image
     The wind ripped my false roof off last night.  I have a corrugated tin roof in an attempt to buffer the "sun's anvil" in the summer.  This is me about 9:30 a.m. That is my cat General Jinjur, and not an anthro at the window.  I went back inside and had some instant coffee.  If I can just stall long enough, I'll be dead and won't have to constantly fix every goddamn thing I own.  I think I was supposed to die leading a bayonet charge, but I quit the Corps 'cause I was going to be a rich, famous author.  Now I've outlived my value to society and have to untangle an antenna when I get home. 

Sunday Art Production

Image
     Here I am mixing plaster for some of my brother's sculpture molds.  He has an opening March 1st at Pig Liquors in San Antonio.  I got gang pressed into pouring extra heads.  The balloons are some he took a marks-a-lot to for a birthday party.

For You Jacobites

      "And man, O!", he cried in a kind of ectasy, "Am I no a bonny fighter?" (After Lynd Ward.)  This is from the siege of the roundhouse sequence in "Kidnapped" by R.L.S.

David Was A Giant Killer (You'll Be One Too!)

     It is a glorious, lovely Sunday here in the Lone Star Prefecture.  Time for a classical interlude.  This is fan art.

My Pencil and Paper Case

Image
    I'm more than a little desperate for copy today.  This is my plastic art case that I went to work on late one night, and the more I draw on it the more I screw it up.  Knowing when to walk away is a real talent.  The other side has my address on it.  This stunning artwork is only equaled by Bernini's David.  Can I come live with you?

First Attempt Operation Castor

Image
     When I got the idea to do a comic based on events in Indochina 1953-4, I drew a prototype cover and intro and then promptly recognized that I could do better with practice.  Originally my hero was a cat anthro, then I decided to make him a rabbit for story purposes.  One week later I read Usagi Yogimbo and I thought I could not copy an accomplished artist.  After re-drawing everything I decided that nobody owned white rabbits so I stuffed all this in a box and blew it off.  I've kept the rabbit character 'cause they are fun to draw.   This was done in April last year when I started drawing anthros.

Read Your Machiavelli

                                                      It is a mistake to hurt others and leave them capable of retaliation.  Either raise them to honor or annihilate them, their heirs, their allies.  Total war is kindest in the long run.  All you folks that think that Grant or Sherman were capable would certainly have no problem with this.  Cartago delenda est.

Jumpmaster Kitty

     Drawn April, 2012.  This was back when I did not realize how hard drawing action was.  This is Lt. Col. Langlais, effective commander of the "fortress" of Dien Bien Phu.  In 1989 he jumped off the top of some building in France.  A real soldiers death.  (terminal illness).  Hard drinking, tough son of a bitch. 

I'm Feeling Down

Image
     Sometimes I feel strong, aggressive and cruel.      But not often, not anymore.

     Goin' to a beer and beef orgy to watch sports and what have you.  (I had a very good time in spite of myself)

Competence In Mali

     In front of our eyes, we are seeing Paratroop Doctrine being used as it was intended.  I took this from the internet.  These are really tough, motivated and dangerous men.  It looks to me like they learned something from Vietnam that we didn't.  Good for France.
