Well, you just know it had to happen, eventually. Of course, there's still lots of artwork and highly dubious photo illustrations also being thrown into the mix, as well. NEW! "Fafhrd and The Grey Mouser" Seem to be in the minority here, but after Feudal Master of the Circular Metal Bands' near-ludicrous financial success, I'd have thought the Twain's adventures were the logical next step, cinematically speaking. Ah well. Maybe if Fritz Leiber had been a crazy advocate of divine monarchy, writing thinly-veiled religious allegories, or somethin'... (And hey, just how ARE you Brits handling them fascist destroyers from Calormen, these days? Oink, oink!) NEW! "Pantechnicon" Finally, a piece worthy of overly verbose and entirely unnecessary front-end commentary! Yup, it's all about hexapodia as the key insight, babe. IAE, I heard some (other) smug science fiction know-it-all point out how the Known Net would've adopted the weblogging model for its communications, instead of newsgroups, as VV suggested. What. Frickin'. Ever. As if poor Twirlip's observations would've gotten any MORE attention, what with far-flung Jovian gasbags being the rough equivalent of a lonely thirteen-year-old girl keeping a LiveJournal and all. Oh, and let's not forget the ravings of hateful intergalactic Koslings, who'd hog precious bandwidth with THEIR particular brand of drivel: "...billions of human beings slaughtered without provocation by alien jihadists? Well, that's what they get for greedily venturing into the Transcend. Blank them! " Old! "Flea Market"
The featured cover art for this year's I-CON 23 pocket schedule -- in full color and without mandated flat Japanime shading this time around. For some reason it feels like a 'sequel' to my previous "Anarcapitalist Noir", what with the nearly identical, ridiculously cluttered tech-laden composition and all. (It's called "going back to the well once too often.")
Also still dithering about whether I should publicize my 'blog' here or not, as what gets infrequently posted over there *certainly* qualifies as "ranting." It's just the whole commenting part of the equation I have a serious problem with. Free Lunch is MY fascist dictatorship! Mine, mine, mine! And random strangers/estranged friends Speaking Ancient! "DigitalWidow" An entry for a recent Digital Webbing competition. The 'insufficently anorexic' complaint was expected -- I'm just glad there were no demands for me to immediately amputate her nose and/or graft on ridiculously oversized Bambi eyes... as required by the Ubiquitous Japanime Crap Act of 2003. Antique! "ONE SMALL STEP" Page Twenty Three With his pursuers apparently victorious, a badly injured Kazuhiro Maru nevertheless makes a valiant effort towards moving SkyCastle Inc.'s LEO operations into high gear. Antediluvian! "ZIAmania" Proposed album cover for ZIA's next e-music compendium... with a nod to the aerospace craftsmanship of one Gary Hudson. (In 'leet' MMORPG-parlance, Rotons are teh roxx0r!) However, the scale for that Oberon II-wannabe artifact is way, WAY off. Even if Varley's genengineered spiders were somehow employed to shore up the works, I still imagine the thing would rather quickly go to pieces. Ah well. Prehistoric! "No Fat Chicks"
An attempt to indulge my Inner Texan... while glamorizing a subject long deserving of artistic recognition: fast food. And when prohibition-obsessed Primordial! Miscellaneous Something Or Other I don't know what to call this particular section yet. Maybe the "Computer Things I Gleefully Created In A Manic Haze Long Ago Which Are Neither Art Nor Writing And Which Almost Nobody Else Has Any Use For Anymore But Which I Still Think Are Worth Uploading" section. Oh well. To those who still play "Escape Velocity" on a frequent basis or diddle around with Commodore 64 emulators, these hopelessly dated files of mine might be amusing. |
