Stuff Like This Makes Me Excited To Be A Photographer. Friends Came Over And Entertained Us By Doing

Stuff like this makes me excited to be a photographer. Friends came over and entertained us by doing fire poi and fire-eating, and I managed to get these incredible images. I need to do photography like this more often.

Quick! Someone tell me this is a bad idea.

I just wrote a script for a short comic in my head about feminism, and now I want to write comics about feminism.

One of the projects I'm excited about right now is co-writing an adventure for Darkening Sky, an anthology of adventures to be published by White Wolf for their Dark Ages tabletop lines. (I'm working on an adventure for Dark Ages Vampire.)

And I'm pretty excited, because it's a chance for me to do something that reflects the diversity that actually exists in medieval Europe instead of all of the whitewashed crypto-Europe you see in so many game titles. But then I see shit like this - this awful official art for the Malkavians in the new LARP book. And I'm like... really? Really?

How many awful stereotypes can you cram into one image? Female = crazy? Female and vampire = scantily clad sex object? Crazy = sex object?

It's tough, because shit like this makes doing stuff for WW kind of a losing proposition. I'm excited for Darkening Sky because I get to try to do a thing that won't perpetuate the same old awful. But it's going to be embarrassing even being peripherally associated with crap like this, because a lot of gamers aren't aware of the nuances of subcontractors, et al. They just see "White Wolf" as a monolithic thing.

You guys. YOU GUUUUUYYYYYYYSSSSSS. THIS. IS. AMAZING.

Any time someone tries to tell you men in games are "just as bad" as women, you can show them Lawrence Croft in all of his banana-hammocked glory.

This makes me so happy.

Currently, I'm working on a geek alphabet, with one illustration for each letter in the alphabet. It is, to say the least, a huge undertaking. But I'm pretty proud of the results. Here's a preview of what I have finished so far.

Can we all agree that the TNG Enterprise is the canonical Enterprise?

A friend commissioned a piece of art to be used in his wedding with his fiancee as the princess and himself as the frog. I had a lot of fun with this one, since it's been a while since I've had time to break out my copics. I'm pleased with the final product.
