We Love You, Batty McBats! [23 Jul 2006|11:55pm]
[ mood | hot ]
[ music | Geh'n wie ein Ägypter - Blümchen ]

It's Batty McBats!We love you Batty!

I was wondering what to do for my next Halloween shirt when a cute little bat found his way into my stairwell! It was over 90˚ there, and the poor guy was out like a light.

Soooo sleepy...

Bats, like ninja, are mammals. They also eat mosquitoes and many other insects we have quite enough of in Minnesota, thank you. So here's to you, Batty! Your very own shirt!

I Bite! You have been warned.

Wether it's nearly 6 months late or more than 6 months early for Valentines Day, it's my first and (I intend) last PINK design! Perfect for the Paramour with Pizzaz, the Beau with Bite, the Mistress with... where am I going with this anyway?

Beware the Zombie Cow! [18 Jul 2006|12:30am]
[ mood | artistic ]
[ music | I Wish It Would Rain - The Temptations ]




Zombie Cow! Zombie Cow!


Even for those who survived the Big War, it took years before their lives settled into any sort of routine. Even then, one had to be on constant guard against the radioactive monstrosities which roamed the land. Of all the dangers, none was more fearsome than the Zombie Cow.



In other news, the legend of Mechanical Squirrel grows! He was selected as the July 16th T-Shirt of the Day at Lamp8.com. A big thanks for the props! They have quite a few great designs of their own, so check them out.

It's Not The Voices INSIDE My Head... [06 Jun 2006|12:57am]

It's Not The Voices INSIDE My Head...

It's The Voices INSIDE My Head... ...That Make Me Do BAD THINGS.

Sure, maybe there's a little voice in your head telling you to eat just one more cookie, or to blow something up (constructively, of course). It's a REALLY bad day when the voices of the people OUTSIDE your head are inspiring you to do the same...

Well, I survived the E3 Expo. LA, Booth Babes and the famous 3 hour wait for Nintendo's Wii. And not a single decent picture to show for it? For shame!

All Slimes go to Heaven [07 May 2006|12:42am]
[ mood | busy ]
[ music | Whatever Level of 'Guitar Hero' I've Reached ]


All Slimes go to Heaven
(You gain 1 EXP, 1 Gold)

Cute slime! I think I could take it. +1 EXP, +1 Gold

Maybe it's true or maybe it's not, but I like to think that the thousands of slimes I've killed over the years have gone to some sort of 'slime heaven'. After all, they're so darn cute! Maybe someday I'll reach a higher level and start to fight something... less good natured.

Anyway, this design is offered in two versions, with text our without text.

It's been a strange few weeks. My biggest seller, "The Mechanical Squirrels are Watching," has barely sold since I upgraded my CafePress shop. Thankfully "For The Horde" has suddenly decided to picked up the slack. Maybe it's time to create some new World of Warcraft designs?

OMG Bacon!

OMG Bacon! Nature's Meat!

Spring is finally in the air, and the hearts and minds of young men and women naturally turn to... Bacon. Specifically, the highly requested OMG Bacon! design. Truely a shining example of poetic excellence.

Minor changes were also made to the Web Design page of my Portfolio, which is getting a suprising number of page hits.

Razorbunny's Bad Day



"Oops! Razorbunny" T-Shirt


A new shirt has been added to the store. Razorbunny is having a bad day... first he got bubblegum in his hair, and now he's slipped while trying to remove it. At least, that's what you can tell yourself as you wear my latest design!


Also, my CafePress store has now been fully integrated with my website. So, if you are a new visitor and want a new product or design, please drop me a line!

I have updated alienskies.com. The theme of the year is: purple! The colour of kings. And Prince!

The sweat and tears that went into these designs can best be described as epic, so please buy one, won't you? (Disregard that - I have become shameless...)

Now that the business is out of the way... OMG FIREFLY MOVIE!! SERENITY LESS THAN 50 HOURS AWAY!!!

A little love for Worlds of Warcraft [02 Aug 2005|01:24pm]
[ mood | working ]
[ music | Asia At Odd Hours - Splashdown ]

Fresh fanart for Worlds of Warcraft - a CG I did to warm-up for some new projects. Whee!






Yes, that is my character - Rolander, the Night Elf Druid. Send me a shout-out if you're adventuring on the Argent Dawn server!


In even geekier news (if that's possible), Hikaru Utada is doing the theme for the upcoming PS2 game Kingdom Hearts 2! Her track "Simple and Clean" in the original game still sends shivers down my spine - and that it's attached to one of the best games released for this generation of game consoles doesn't hurt either. Go, Hikki, Go!

AlienSkies vs Tibetan Yak [11 Apr 2005|04:13pm]
[ mood | quixotic ]

This weekend I'm suffering the eternal boredom of Ohio, but last weekend it was all about the tibetan yak.



I've been the webmastwer of Yak-Man.com for a while now, and the Yak Man needed some photos of his herd for registration with IYAK. I can't make this up, people.

Things started out well enough - we had Koi, the Welsh Corgi to keep the Yak in line, and it was relatively warm.



The first yak came out, and I soon got over my fear of standing ankle-deep is Yak muck. Each yak was herded one by one into a gate, where they were given ear tags .





Things were going smoothly, and even the ever-vigilant Koi took some time to relax.



Then the males came out.

I'm hard pressed to relate the size of a fully-grown male yak, so let me illustrate with this graphic:



And ever pound was pure mean. For some reason, about half of the males took the raising of my camera as a challenge. This photo was taken through the planks of a fence I managed to pull in front of myself as I was backed into a corner.



The Wooly Yak was a bit more docile. You only get 2 guesses why it's breed is called that.



Then we were done, and my life had only flashed before my eyes twice. On the plus side, I liked what I saw as it did. On the down side, I smelled of yak muck and after a 45 minute shower went shopping for new shoes.
