I often wondered why Conan Doyle used a real London address for Sherlock Holmes - wasn’t that going to annoy someone? - but I recently found out that Baker Street at the time didn’t go up as far as 221, so it was a safe “fake address”.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

 fipindustries on tumblr:

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general,
they're overdone and simply not as good as the original.
They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.
And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction’s always slurry when they rush the
complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn
it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they
keep just making more and more, please someone stop
the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable,
they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable,
in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i
cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

I've been saying for *years* that even if we (cis autists/ADHDers like me) didn't oppose these evil fucks on general principle as we obviously should, we should do it out of self-preservation, because they were yelling "you're next, freaks!" through megaphones.

Panel 1: A desperate, panicking Blue Guy screams into his phone: Come Quickly! The AI companies are in trouble!

Panel 2: A Pink Guy, also on the phone, replies: Oh Shit! I’m on my way!

Panel 3: Pink Guy is relaxing in his living room, having a lovely cup of tea. He has no intention of going to help save the AI sinking slop ship.

The immensely talented artist Philip Castle died recently. He created the posters for A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket as well as album artwork for the many great bands. Retro gamers will know him for his work on the original Elite box artwork. RIP.

I’m not sure ten minutes has passed since I was eleven when by brain wasn’t just churning out a pianola roll of pentatonic thread. There are times when I can turn it down, but I’m not sure it ever truly stops.

Thing I learned today: “duck tape” is a far older term than “duct tape.” It used to be made with cotton duck. “Duct tape” is a combination of people trying to make sense, and its association with post war use in HVAC systems. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape
