Dryad

Here she is, 'FRESH' as the morning dew itself, Kalamazoo's very own DEW DROP DRYAD. She's quicksilver fast, and slippery as a minnow. Her decoration of dewy morning spider webs are magnificent. And her kisses are sweet and cool (not to mention a lil' bit sloppy).

She didn't stop by for long because her workload is rather demanding, but she posed long enough for me to get this image made of her in Photoshop, no sketching prior to this was done (no time!).

She's a darling lil' thing with a quick mind and a taste for Earl Gray Tea and shaved ice. Don't worry about the tea getting cold nor the ice melting before she gets there, odds are...she's already visited you and is busy checking you off her magical list.

Kalamazoo is Kewl...

QUICK ! GET DOWN !

...shhhhhhhh !!!
...don't talk.
...just listen.

hear that ?
Creepy Alexander Crenshaw has 'escaped' from his graveyard crypt again. It seems like no matter how many times we drive a stake through his heart, throw holy water on him, spread purified salt around his coffin, or even leaving silver mirrors and hanging garlic inside his tomb...he always finds a way to come back and chase the residents around.

I still say we gotta decapitate him, burn the body, and spread the ashes over the Kalamazoo river. But NOOOOOOO. The priests don't wanna desicrate a human body. Pfffft !!!
Those silly knuckleheads just get in the way.
*sigh*

I need more sleep. Now what was that quote...?

"...the nethermost caverns are not for the fathoming of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific. Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the town where no Wizard hath lain, and happy the town at night whose Wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumour that the soul of the Devil-bought hastes not from his Charnel Clay, but Fats and instructs The Very Worm That Gnaws; till out of corruption horrid Life springs, and the dull scavengers of Earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it.

Great holes secretly are digged where Earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to Walk that ought to Crawl..."

Jungle Dragon

This week's Illustration Friday's topic is 'Depth'. So after some pondering, I went with traveling into the 'depths' of the deepest darkest heart of a jungle to find an elusive mythical creature.

If you look closely into the murky 'depths' of this illustration you might glimpse the Yellow Eyed Purple Skinned Insect Eating Jungle Dragon. And it's about to make breakfast of that tropical red dragon fly buzzing in the foreground. Oh, and be careful where you step, the 'depths' of the jungle floor are unpredictable and hard to see...

Y'see, the sun rarely peeks through to this 'depth', and even when it does- it only lasts for a few moments. As a result, the darkness is rather pervasive and all encompassing.

Did you just hear that growling...?

MizzKyttie is Back !

New articles and inspired links.
Get on over there and see what she's uncovered about the corruption of America and it's leaders. This is important stuff, what you normally WON'T see on news/talk shows and radio. This Katrina disaster has the potential to be a bad onion, each layer you peel away reveals another more rotten layer underneath. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll roll up your sleeves.

Please check it out, you need to know this !

The old bed-sheet prison break idea, it's a classic!
Eyeflower had better start running...

Roots

This guy has taken Illustration Friday just a lil' bit too seriously!

Hurry Hurry Hurry !!!
Gather round and see for yourself the bizarre and stupendous 8th wonder of the world ! Come one come all ! Right here in Kalamazoo is revealed the walking fungus amongus, the toadstool teetotaler, the cellar seller...

MUSHROOMAN !!!

If you have a backyard filled with Fairy Rings, or you simply have a Yeast Infection, then Mushrooman has probably slipped in and taken 'root'. Don't worry, he wont stay for long and after the Elves have finished dancing ( or the itching is treated with some antibiotic ) he'll take his magic to the next lucky (?) location and start over again...

:-D

Hurricane Assistance

Be careful when you recieve solicitations from the American Red Cross.

Some of them may be the work of scam artists (not to be confused with cartoon artists). Beware of emails containing links that take you to fake Red Cross web sites, leaving your personal information there could lead to identity theft.

If you want to donate money to help with the Katrina Disaster, go to the actual Red Cross web site:

www.redcross.org
(I didn't create an actual link, I want you to type it in yourself, that way you know it's legit)

Or you can call:
