Spidernaut has a place in the hills that he feels like he hasn't been spending enough time at, FutureMan is planning on opening up his own sweet shoppe somewhere in Old Town(e), and Dead Artist just wants to sleep.  The Thief in the background, bitter that his concept never made the cut in the first place, snuck into the picture unannounced (as thieves tend to do).

The upshot of all this is that I decided to release them from their contracts and redesign the site.  In the process I cleaned up the html and stylesheets that had, over a year or two of incremental changes, turned into a rickety old code jalopy.  The original design (with the help of some cheap stand ins) can still be found here.

This one's unfinished.  I still need to add some details (like the guy sitting on the parkbench could use a face... and a parkbench) and the colors could use some tweaking.  I've got to add the Rankin/Bass snow, too, which I'm hoping will bring it all together.  And make it look cold.

One bad sketch + Photoshop * an hour and a half = Craig Tullins.

Funny story, this actually happened to me once.  No, really...

So I've added an rss feed, and I'm using (what so far seems to be) the most excellent Feedburner to support it.    I'd never have imagined that something as simple as a basic rss feed could require such a sophisticated backend to manage, but I'm glad that someone did.  It's very cool.

Who's been giving the bunnies innertubes?

More Illustration Friday fun.

Look, he runs.  

Note to self:  Shave MR primitives cause many many headaches.   Render hair using the buffer.

Note to self (part 2):  Combustion crashes a lot.
