OH gosh. I need to do more stuff with this character someday. I’m trying to weed out my image gallery for a new design, and I stumbled upon these older concepts. I pretty much based my comic for the Exploded View anthology off of her, but she wasn’t quite as bad ass in that (kept it PG). Augustine can throw a punch and build a generator. Pretty great qualities.

You can read that whole comic (Exploded View/Outage) on my site, btw: http://www.8et8.net/OT.htm

Transdimensional Electric Salamander Prince is actually a physicist, but an excellent room-mate if you enjoy ~~regret-sex~~ adventure.

Lere is fun to draw U3U If you’re interesting in seeing the un-tweaked line art, that is here. Additionally, the entire time I draw this I was listening to this song…. ohhhhhhhh.

Colored up a random dude-ul of my avatar from Line Play. Ohhh that game is cute. This drawing might lead you to believe it involves battles but.. it’s not about that. It’s about adorable creatures making homes as adorable as possible. I think. My user name is the un-creative Jordyn B; send me presents and eat my food.

OH man. I was just reminded of drawing this many moons ago. It’s Robin McConnell, my friend and host of the comix show INKSTUDS, as a taur. It’s his birthday today, too, so go to his site, listen to his show, and shower him with adoration.

Taurs are horrible.

Something magical is happening at the Neptune Studio this week....

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:30:00 -0500

Something magical is happening at the Neptune Studio this week. The audacious young company Vile Passéist has created a unique piece of theatre that adds modern music to a 17th-century comedy to form a highly entertaining hybrid. The story centres on a fiery woman named Moll (played beautifully by Karen Lizotte) who flies against gender stereotypes and lives life as she pleases. Moll’s help is enlisted by a pair of young lovers (Michael Robson and Clara Bullock) to trick the young man’s haughty dad (Gary Williams) into allowing their marriage. The score by Jenny Trites makes the text come to life and is tunefully playful. The large cast has ample opportunity to shine, and shine they do with amusing dance numbers, gorgeous musical numbers and beautifully choreographed sword play. Fun, funny and feminist, this new play is a roaring good time. —Kate Watson

Our first review! Come out and support some local ORIGINAL theatre! I did the costumes for this, and I have to say I am SO proud (and exhausted, because WOW that was a lot of work).

Tickets:
Adults $25
Students/Seniors/Artists/Underwaged $15

This popular comedy tells the story of the brawling, cross-dressing, “roaring” bully, Moll Cutpurse, as she takes on the unlikely task of helping two young Londoners find love. This begins a chain of disguises, plots, skirmishes, and love-triangles, each more outrageous than the last, featuring fantastic new music by Jenny Trites and a stellar ensemble cast!

One of the inaugural recipients of the Neptune/Theatre Nova Scotia Open Spaces Grant, this will be VPT’s first show at the Neptune Studio Theatre.

I hope you guys like nipples and markers. A billion years ago I did this Lere V-day comic! Since it’s that day and I’ve never posted it on tumblr, I thought I might as well! You can also read it in the comics section of my website HERE (since I’m not sure how legible my writing is on this website tee hee).

Anyway, kiss a cutie, eat some candy, do what feels right. Probably stay away from nudist cults (unless they are GOOD nudist cults). Hope you all have a most wonderful V-DAY!!

48 hours to ban bee killers

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:34:23 -0500

48 hours to ban bee killers:

cesia:

This is of utter importance, I HOPE everyone of my followers KNOW the consequences of bees going extinct. There is no other animal or insect on this planet that pollinates crops and plants. Without them, we would basically doom our world to end. It’s a very simple fact. Please help and sign the petition.

I know some of you might scoff at this and go “so what, I hate bees” or “I’m deathly allergic”. Well, my mother and brother are both severely allergic to bees, and guess what? My father is a bee-farmer. They still get by splendidly and help out with the work. As long as you’re careful, there is no problem with bees. The fact remains, if we didn’t have bees, we wouldn’t have vegetables or greens or any plants. And with no plants, animals can’t survive, and in the end, we will sit here, with no ways of sustaining life.

I don’t care how silly I sound, this is very important to me.

Quietly, globally, billions of bees are dying, threatening our crops and food. But in 48 hours the European Union could move to ban the most poisonous pesticides, and pave the way to a global ban that would save bees from extinction.

Four EU countries have begun banning these poisons, and some bee populations are already recovering. Days ago the official European food safety watchdog stated for the first time that certain pesticides are fatally harming bees. Now legal experts and European politicians are calling for an immediate ban. But, Bayer and other giant pesticide producers are lobbying hard to keep them on the market. If we build a huge swarm of public outrage now, we can push the European Commission to put our health and our environment before the profit of a few.

We know our voices count! Last year, our 1.2 million strong petition forced US authorities to open a formal consultation on pesticides — now if we reach 2 million, we can persuade the EU to get rid of these crazy poisons and pave the way for a ban worldwide. Sign the urgent petition and share this with everyone — Avaaz and leading MEPs will deliver our message ahead of this week’s key meeting in Brussels.

BEES.
