Absinthe teaser: p.18

Another bit of teasing for that 'Five Glasses of Absinthe' comic I'm working on. This is page 18, with the dialogue layers turned off. You're missing a monologue that riffs off of the opening of Godard's <i>À bout de souffle</i> ('Breathless').

Absinthe T-shirt

T-shirt design for the comic I've been working on the past few months. Will be available (with the right URL) sometime after I launch the comic.

Close-up of a panel on page 6 of <i>Five Glasses of Absinthe</i>. Tease, tease, tease.

Seven Seconds Seven Seconds Seven Seconds

Hexagons done with NodeBox.

Another Dissatisfied Customer

The oracle never gives you what you want.

A mixture of a never-really-used remix of an old muck character of mine, reading Gorey's "L'Heure Bleue", and the residue of a day mostly spent thinking in spirals.

Opener of the Furthest Ways

Long, dark journey.

The Stolen Sister

Quick and dirty direct-in-Illustrator: Theeka and Sosael, exchanged.

For those who didn't hang around Puzzlebox: Theeka is a hypersubmissive rubber mouse, who's had her negative emotions turned off; she's the leader of the Bubble Dolls, a clade of happy latexy servile types. Sosael is a hateful white butterfly who dies a <i>lot</i>, and may or may not be a face of the overall consciousness of the Strangevirus, a bio/data plague that infests an entire sector of the world. Sometimes they claim to be sisters, sometimes they deny it.

I played Sosael.

Her Pale Escort

Gouache and Prismacolor marker on a paper bag.

Passing Fancy

Starbow

Singularity to duality to multitudes.

But where's the third?

The Spiral Boulevard

Part two of a series of goddess imagery.

The Left-Hand Ptah

So predispose everything, Quartermaster.

Idly playing with Illustrator CS3, though i didn't actually use any of the new features.

To Fall from Grace

Just something I scribbled out without really thinking.

You are my sun, you are my moon, you are my sky

Fiddling around with Artrage (virtual oils/chalk, to be specific).

A childish ambition

Just a quick doodle to sum up everything I find distasteful about the 'macro' fetish.

Virtual crayon via Artrage 2.

lavalavavixyvix

My boyfriend needed a picture of his lava-lamp vixen Kincaid for purposes of making a fake Magic card.

So I did some Illustrator speedpainting. YIP YIP YIP YIP BLOOP!

The Siege of Syracuse (back cover)

That previous piece looked like an album cover. So I made the back.

The Siege of Syracuse

The Greek text translates roughly to "Do not disturb my circles!".

the secrets we tell ourselves

A sequel to a piece I did a couple years ago.

Palimpsest

I was sitting around feeling all lazy and vaguely useless. So I drew a smirky cobra with big titties. Cheered me right up!

Uploaded as a big file so you can see just how sloppy I get sometimes. Sloppy is good now and then.

a private katabasis

Giving in to that weird late-night urge to draw some of my semi-self-image characters as boys. Sosael/Atazael is a lot saner than she used to be, but she's still fundamentally crazy, and still gets off on blood and death. (Or, rather, 'he' in this particular moment.) This preference is kinda creepily perky now, though.

The People's Pinup

Collaboration with Jonas. His pencils, my Illustratorness.

a beautiful machine

Front page image for my redesigned website. Said website has only been tested on browsers I can run on my Powerbook; I hope to make it work on IE this weekend.

Illustrator CS2.

The Ninth Time

Debutante Ball

By tradition, her left-hand aunt and her right-hand aunt trailed behind. Later there would be tea.

Ring Out

Fan art for <a href=http://www.webcomicsnation.com/mike_luce/fite/>a friend's comic</a>.

Joyous And Triumphant

The tinsel was all cleaned up, but she still hadn't had a chance to play with her new toy.

Gravity Angel

The spiders fly through the empty spaces on their pretty inertialess drives.
Swooping and weaving and crashing for the fun of it, they weave a web of trails in the stars.
