  New drawing, in progress Giant fighting robot, take 1. One of the things I learned on the Alice Street drawings was about the awesomeness of working non-photo blue, and then ink. Using blue as the base when I know I’m going to ink later saves me from sweating the pencils too much. It also will allow me to scan...

  Prop 8 Decision Yesterday Proposition 8 overturned. The complete ruling of the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is available as a PDF: KRISTIN PERRY V. EDMUND G. BROWN, Jr.. Any judicial decision quoting Groucho Marx, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and Frank Sinatra is fine by me. It’s not too dry. I was a bit surprised that I...

  Richard Gate (and jQuery) Richard Gate is my brother-in-law. I’ve mentioned him once before. I put together a website for him in February 2007. I think it’s a great little site that does precisely what it needs to. It introduces you to an artist’s work. I worked with him this week to provide something interesting on the main richardgate.com...

  Aged. In 2010, I turned 40. I look in the mirror at the side of my head sometimes. I see enough silver that I’m reminded of Reed Richards. In 2010 I got an e-card that made me laugh enough I kept it around. I was scarcely blogging then though. So, here it is now. It cracks...
