Old blog, meet new blog

I suppose that it's about time to mention that I am not really planning on updating this blog anymore. I am, however, updating http://rickydrawsthings.blogspot.com with a brand new drawing every day!

...and now it has been another 339! Quite strange, really, as this is the first time I have visited this site since I last posted. It's almost like that feeling you get waking up one minute before your morning alarm clock goes off. Maybe I'm destined to visit and update this blog once every year?

Future me: Hi! How's 2012 going?

By my count, it has been 341 days since I last updated this blog, and still it persists. Still it exists in its dark recess of the internet.

The internet is eternal.

Inspiration!

I have decided that this blog shall be from this point forward a more faithful recounting of my life. I was going through some old photos from several years ago that I didn't even know I had on my computer and was shocked at having forgotten entirely about ever having lived through the times that they clearly captured. Now, as my physical memory isn't entirely up to snuff this isn't entirely inconceivable. However, I feel it is my own civic duty to myself to keep a better record of my life so that, at the very least, I might remember it.

...but I will start doing that later, because right now I am still sort of sick.

Yatta!

New shirt design for Shirt.Woot. The theme is "Japan", and I tried to make something as stereotypical and gaudy as possible. However, I ran out of colors to work with (you only get 6, besides the shirt you print on) so it ended up being fairly flat looking.

Flowery Goodness

New Woot shirt this week for the derby theme "Flora". I decided to ditch being clever and just draw something pretty. Not sure if it matches Woot's standards of involving enough baby bunnies, but I like how this one turned out.

Zombies and Vampires and Me - oh my

Dream last night:

The world was taken over by zombies, much like in the comic series I've been binge-reading, "The Walking Dead". Myself and a handful of friends had taken shelter on a gated farm with ever-growing legions of the undead just outside. All I had for self-defense was a riot-guard-brand nightstick to bash in zombie heads. At one point someone was an idiot and left the gate open and in they came, shambling after us. Now these were slow zombies so they could be easily outrun but if they surrounded you you were dead. I just ran and ran.

In an odd turn of events, a small clan of underground vampires was discovered. Much of my compatriots had decided that it was better to become a vampire than a mindless zombie so they all got bitten and joined the ranks of the more fashionable undead. Then the vampires kicked all the zombies' asses.

So now I'm one of the few remaining humans in a world ruled by an elite class of vampires. There are still hundreds of thousands of zombies shambling around but the vampires pay them no heed as they can strike them down easily and are immune to the zombie plague. Cut to me performing an A Different Spin show at some college in the middle of a zombie city. Jeremy, Tim, and Mooch are there, but I think Tim is a vampire and he wants me dead. Luckily I have super evasion powers and can scale buildings by leaping up twenty feet and grabbing onto the walls. Let it be known that vampires in this world can also do this.

Somehow I avoid being bitten for some time. We A Different Spinners set out to find a place that is truly safe from zombies. This leads us down a dirt road to a large labyrinthine apartment complex full of abandoned rooms and kitchens that endlessly lead to hallways and living rooms. Somewhere along the way we found a couple of girls and a guy who we took to be survivors living in one of the apartments. We befriended them and they offered us supplies and a place to stay for the night. However, as the sun set I could see their glistening fangs. We were in a house of vampires.



AND THEN I WOKE UP!
