I have had interesting news about my work in progress this week, but it’s all super secret. It’s pretty cool, though, and you will all hear it about one day.
One day soon? MAYBE. Maybe one day somewhat less soon. But one day. I PROMISE.
Let me just say that things they are a-brewin’.
In the meantime, it’s time for FAF! Let’s do this.
We begin with some cool 3-D projects. First is a Clanker lamp from Kirsten. Here it is, both in its raw form and with the shade on:
Like I’ve often said, one of my favorite things to come out of Keith’s illustrations is the sense they give of Clanker and Darwinist physical culture. Not just machines and beasties, but simple things like desks and lamps. So thanks to Kirsten for following that vision.
And here’s Haley’s cool Leviathan-wing ring:
The wing wasn’t entirely Keith’s creation. It was something that the designer of the hardback cover of Levaithan, Sammy Yuen, put together from pieces of Keith’s art.
Speaking of wings, here’s Kaitlyn’s cool shot of Deryn using her body-kite outfit:
Nice. Love the color scheme, and the fact that it makes Deryn look a bit like the shot of Lilit from Behemoth.
And here’s another one from Kaitlyn with that always favorite theme: hangin’ on the ratlines:
And from Patricia, a blow-up of A CERTAIN CREATURE WEARING A CERTAIN COMEDY COSTUME PIECE. SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS BEFORE LOOKING.
Okay. I think you were right:
And finally some Uglies action, a cityscape of New Pretty Town from Trenton:
What I love about this is that it calls to mind the classic Saul Steinberg image of how New Yorkers see the world:
Well, played, Trenton!
Thanks to everyone for a stimulating FAF.
@536- I’ve never heard of Owl City. All my classmates are obsessed with LMFAO.
@547-BLONDIE!!!! Now can I make some dumb blonde jokes?
Has anybody seen the YouTube video where all the One Direction members are super heroes?
@551-Look them up (Owl City). I suggest you listen to “Vanilla Twiglight” and “Alligator Sky”.
@552- Sure, they really don’t bother me.
Do blonde jokes actually bother anyone??
@PWH-Nope. Some of my classmates who ARE blonde make dumb blonde jokes.
I want to get a chicken and name it Finnick. I just do. I HAVE TO.
As Alek would say, it is my DESTINY to have a chicken named Finnick. 🙂
How much longer till’ you get out of school PWH?
Hey!! Sorry I haven’t been on! I’ve been super busy with softball! (camps practice and tourneys!) I will be on more I promise! But for the next three days I will be at softball camp, with no Internet! Sorry byeeeee! 😛
@560- I was just about to ask someone where you went.
@559- Not till next Tuesday. Then we’ve to do the 8th grade graduation. Ughh. I don’t see the point of celebrating something that was inevitable anyway. Except for birthdays.
@556- Now that I think about it, the only people in my class who make blonde jokes are the blondes. There are only 4 blondes including myself in my class. We’re a minority. We are also are the most evil, though I doubt that has anything to do with hair color.
@535- Today my friend made a mustach out of his silly putty during math class and it took all my will power not to shout “VOLGER!!!” at the top of my lungs.
*mustache
@564-If I were there, I WOULD shout VOLGER!!! at the top of my lungs.
@560-I’ve been wondering. I thought maybe you got abducted by aliens or something.
I’m watching Back To The Future 2. It’s making me laugh so hard. That’s what they thought the future would look like???!!! Ha hahaha!
@564-I have three blondes in my class. I’ve got pretty long brown hair that turns a sorta dirty blonde in the summer.
HEY PWH!!!!!!!
YOLO!? Are you there?
@PWH-I did an oral report on Michael J. Fox once.
Also, YES I am here. Is it just me, or do most of our conversations begin like that?
I have this massage pillow that vibrates when you apply pressure to it, and it is AWESOME!
PWH are YOU here?
Please be here…
@569- My hair is dirty blonde with highlights most of the year but in the summer it gets lighter.
@573-all of our conversations start like this.
I have ants in my room. It’s disgusting.
Me(at camp today): I’m so glad to be out of the house.
My sister: Why?
Me: You should know! I’ve got barking ANTS in my room!
My sister: I thought it was barking spiders.
Me: *facepalm*
@578-Yup.
@572- Poor fellow has Parkinsons doesn’t he?
@581-Yeah. The topic for all the reports was “celebrities with disabilities”.
I survived my first day as a junior leader at farm camp.
I actually made two friends too. 🙂
@579- Not to be creepy but how old is your sister? I’ve got a ten year old brother and a friend that’s so close she’s like a sister.
I made a clay bat. I wonder if I can send a picture in as fan art and call it a flachette bat.
@585-Well guess what? My sis is ten too.
@583-I don’t think I’m going to camp this year:(
I actually have no idea what a flachette bat looks like.
What???? My frowny face failed 🙁
@588-Why the frowny face? I hate most camps.
I want 600! Then I’ll have 300 and 600
Actually I can’t get 600 cause I have to go. Bye. I gotta go kill some ants.
Ten year olds are… lets go with obnoxious. Not always though, my brother can be decent.
@591- I went to this really fun camp once were I got blown out to the middle of a lake in a canoe.
@593- Sounds good, the ant killing I mean. I should probably kill some ants too. They’re everywhere.
Humdeehum
And…
It’s…
600!!!
