decided that ringing the doorbell was a good idea.
anyway
we had another dialogue that illustrated how things are basically irreconcilable and that apparently i... only focus on the negative.
heh, go figure.
so after she talked at me for the better part of an hour about how she isnt in love with me anymore but still cares, she went home.
and i went back inside for a minute.
then i decided to go back outside and saw the moon hanging low on the horizion.
a harvest moon that was as big as your fist.
or thumb.
its all relative.
here learn something.

Two Colours
One day I walked out of the bank into a very old, tiny lady wearing a bright emerald scarf and a giant fluffy emerald hat. She looked very elegant, her hair and makeup immaculate. She made me realise how much in our society we don't notice or respect our elderly nearly enough. I love the Advanced Style Blog, which celebrates elderly people with class and style.

PopUp

Sorry that this is off the topic but I have had some great news about the International Hand Made Picture Book Contest for 2010 in Japan. I received the Iguchi-Bunshu prize for my pop-up book. See http://www.ehonkan.or.jp/recruit/i-e_2010index.html
I think it's a great competition for anyone who want to have a go a writting and illustrating childrens stories.
If any one want to see some of the early developement images for my pop up book look at some of the older post on my blog http://tonyflowers.blogspot.com/2010/07/iguchi-bunshu.html

double
so, i know i did this already but i feel like i cheated, i had nothing the other night for double and decided to use a post that i had done the night before citing 2 years as the link to the topic.
i mean if that had been the angle then that would have been fine its just that i feel like i forced into a hole that it wasnt meant to be put.
and so i went out and sat out in the pleasant summer nights air and thought about double.
and brainstormed 3 11x17 pages worth of possibilities.
was interrupted twice by people who dont understand that you have a sketch pad out AND ear buds in because you do NOT want to interact in a social manner or answer the creative and original question of, so you draw huh?
but i digress.
in the latter years of my stay in the city of san francisco some of my more loyal reader might recall that i dated a woman who, when i met her, was in her first year or so...
to clarify im referring to to the daughter.
anyway i was around for more than a few years ans had a hand at parenting and all that good stuff, i introduced her to poprocks at three.
anyway, she liked her dipping sauces be it ranch, ketchup, catsup, bbq, or nacho cheese, and tended to use the thing in which you dip as a utensil, not actually eating the carrot or the chip but licking the dip off and going for another round.
at one point i had to watch her for her mother and took her to dinner and she goes for the double dip so i stopped her to explain that its okay to double dip if youre not sharing but if youre sharing the rule is one chip per dip, i think she was three at the time.
fast forward to the ending days of that relationship i had her again while her mom took a class and we ended up at a tacobell sharing nachos, she would be around five or so now, and she dipped a nacho into the cheese and proudly announced: 'one chip per dip!'
i hadnt heard her say that before and its had been 2 years since i had told it to her.
it makes me think of the times when i talked to my mom about how i handled things or said things or sang things in situations and she would say thats how she did it with me.
and i stopped feeling as clever as i had felt, having no memory of her having done so.
i dont have any children and i dont think that i am going to, it just makes me wonder if some of what i tried to teach her will live on.
heh.
at best guess that kid is pushing 10 years old by now, double digits, an actual person.
god i miss that kid.

roy sullivan
Roy Sullivan, a U.S. park ranger at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, was hit by lightning on seven different occasions between 1942 and 1977. He survived all of them. Roy was included in the Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more times than any other human being.
In 1983, Roy died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound over an unrequited love. He was 71.

communication
dont know where this came from, i was sitting alone on a patio and just let my pencil do its thing.
originally the respons was: "don't bother, my modem's down"
i think i like it better this way.
and there there is this...it was going to be a triptic at first
him texting "i love you to her"
her responding
and him getting the text "so what?"
there were other ideas, one of two people sitting on a couch and obvioulsly not talking, i was thinking about how, in my experience anyway, that by the time you really do need to communicate is around the time that things are rapidly approaching the point of no return or, as it were, the end.
its funny how people can talk about nothing, ideas, hypothetics, for two years and then let something supposedly as important as their futures fall apart because...
well i guess because there was nothing real to talk about.
trying to get back into the rhythm of posting on a regular basis...
and running into all sorts of liitle kinks that i have to rework once yet once again...

Flealess Fuzzdog and His 2-Way Wrist Radio
There's no joy in Muttsville since Pug Face and his gang of dirty dogs escaped from the pound (dug under the fence), but never fear Flealess Fuzzdog is here! He'll not only take a bite out of crime, but out of the criminals, as well.A spoof of a spoof... would like to do a webcomic with this charater someday.

COMMUNICATION
Can you hear me now? Having a bad week here- with regards to communication. So much I say is misconstrued, misinterpreted, misjudged... I'm going to get out my 'wtf?' shirt and pick up my son at Kindergarten camp. Its either that or the shirt that reads "you don't have to be a douchebag." I'm going to be very popular.

I'm Not Dead Yet
"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." -- Mark Twain
Life has been rough but I'm planning on sticking to it for a few more decades. I still have cancer. It's moved to my liver. The chemo is working but it leaves me sick, in pain, nauseous, tired, and with a constant bad taste in my mouth. And I'm bald. But I have friends and family supporting me all the way and I'll be whipping this stupid disease in 2010. One more operation and a few more chemo treatments.
I'll be working on making this blog work better and continue in my absence when I go to the hospital. I'm sorry if I've let any of you down. If you want to start a new blog you have my blessings and I will add a link to it in the side panel.
I hope things will improve soon and that I don't let you down in the future.
Love, Mike - your wayward host.

apoyemos a difundir esta noticia
Alex Dukal - Illustrator: Ingratitud

A veces, los ilustradores colaboramos "desinteresadamente" con algunas publicaciones, como antologías de ilustración o revistas del rubro.
Colaborar, según la Real Academia de la Lengua Española, significa "Trabajar con otra u otras personas en la realización de una obra". Cuando nos invitan a "colaborar" con una publicación, además de pasar a ser parte de esa obra, nosotros cedemos algunos derechos de publicación, que en una situación normal serían remunerados con una suma de dinero, pero en éstos casos solo son "recompensados" con algún o algunos ejemplares de la publicación y quizás, si la publicación tiene la calidad y distribución adecuada, obtenemos algo de publicidad, nada más. Sí, nada más.
