I am actually kind of nervous about the election tomorrow. :/ Don't fuck it up, ok guys?

Anyway.


I borrowed Tim's USB barcode scanner and scanned all of my books into Book Collector this weekend. (Well all of them that aren't in boxes in the attic, anyway.)

Two things I learned doing this:
1. I actually have more books that I ahven't read yet than I thought
2. German publishers have some kind of aversion to putting a barcode on their covers. Instead, they prefer to write out the ISBN in numbers. I'm pretty sure they do this only to be difficult.

The latest book I've started reading was one of the freebies from Eastercon, but it wasn't really pulling me in at all, so I'm re-reading Monstrous Regiment instead. Because there's never a bad time for that. Consequently I haven't really gotten anything done today.


So, here's some art:


When Tim saw the camel of the rainforest lizard (which I should probably give a name soemtime), he apparently thought its eye was actually a nostril. So I drew a thing with a similar shape that actually had a nostril there. The creative process in action.

Some sketches from the Natural History museum:


Elephant ancestors are just cool.


I decided recently I should practice drawing people more, so here's a person.



Her name is Marielle, she's French, has robot legs, and lives in space. Like the cool kids do.



THis owl is not a person, but it is the forest king's spy master, so you should be careful what you tell it, because that dude will fuck you up.

Also, some Pokemon fanart.



Drew this as a thank-you to Tim for giving me his spare copy of Pokemon HeartGold. One day in the far future I might grow out of Pokemon like a normal boring person, but I highly doubt it. I'm thinking of importing a Japanese version of Black/White when they come out over there; the original Pokemon games helped me learn English, so there's no reason I shouldn't harness their power again! After all "It hurt itself in its confusion" is a vital part of any vocabulary.
