my work here is done...
if it helps.
i'm gonna grab some chips and sit on the couch... what streaming channels do you have? let's watch Escape From New York...
this entire series was genius
meh. i wasn't going anywhere anyway...
i think then you mean öreö sleeve, from the öreö region of Denmark...
admit it... you're going to lick it anyway.
we've all been there.
we must repeat!
well done, spud!
4-yr old: i control everyone because i am the queen
me, under my breath: no lies detected there...
4yo: what did you say??
me: i said "yes, your majesty"...
4yo carries on, approvingly
me in my true form...
100%
expose and prosecute the predators, all of them, regardless of timing and party affiliation.
do you still have the round tin you were born in?
same here.
it's funny, i am super excited vicariously through you about this.
if we ever run into each other at a con or something, you've got a high-five coming your way...
this is so damn good...
he's the reason i jumped at this... Rob pitched the project based on drawing a boneless blob of a man on the ground and (as you know me) i told him he had no idea how in my wheelhouse this kind of art request is for me...
the project was a lot of fun!
this is so cool. i am super stoked for you, it must feel so gratifying to see your creation really click and succeed in a media jump like this.
bravo to you and the whole team behind it all!
illustration by Dærick W Gröss of William Caxton standing in front of his printing press holding a large sheet and looking it over gleefully. he is wearing a long black gown? (outfit of the day) with fur cuffs. behind the figure and press is a white background and a teal color smear as a design element.
bsky only lets me post 4 images at a time, but i did 5 in total for Rob. so, here is image #5...
cartooned illustration by Dærick W Gröss of William the Conqueror, standing smugly holding a pole with his golden lion crest on a rich red banner. he is dressed in a long red tunic adorned with gold trim and a blue cloak clasped over his shoulder. on his head he wears a shiny gold crown. the background is blank white except for some abstract dull brown smears behind his legs and under him as a design element.
humorous illustration by Dærick W Gröss of the viking Ivar the Boneless. he is depicted as actually boneless, a blobby mass collapsed on the grass in full viking war gear, including a helmet and chain mail tunic and holding a sword. behind him is a large stone with his round shield leaning up against it.
illustration by Dærick W Gröss of Samuel Johnson, creator of the first English dictionary. he is standing proudly in an all-grey outfit and wearing a white wig of the period. his right hand rests on his chest gripping the seam of his jacket while his left hand holds two volumes of his dictionary. the background is a white field with an olive-colored smear immediately behind the figure as a design element.
illustration by Dærick W Gröss of a nameless monk in a dimly lit abbey hunched over an ornate wooden desk holding a quill and cheekily transcribing something on his desk. he sits with his legs folded beneath him on the bench, behind him is a tall standing candelabra with three lit candles providing light. there is a darkened window over his shoulder, and strewn about we see various parchments with old english runes that he has crossed out in red, implying he is eliminating them from what he is writing down.
now that we're past the 11th, i can share some art i drew for @robwords.bsky.social for a presentation he gave regarding a few historical ninnies and twits whose "contribution" to English were less than helpful.
this was great fun, and it was a pleasure to work with him on this. thanks, Rob!
thank you for sharing!
[jams it into his mouth the returns to his personal stash to continue being so healthy...]
so much better than those hacks who say dumb things like "exercise" or "vegetables"...
i mean seriously, you think we'll fall for that? science for the win, every time...
better living through science...
good people to know as we walk further and further down the road to Mad Max...
nice!
maybe? i don't recall offhand...
you forgot to mention that the memory starts to go.
good.
you really should avoid these crackpot diets anyway.
"no sprinkles "
as if. smh...
easier done than said...
actually it's $1364.84 now. i wasn't fully listening, i can't hear you over the sound of all this shopping i am doing...
