These two pictures are not to be looked upon by kids or moms and dads. They are Not Work Safe, unless you work in a nakedperson factory, in which case they'd probably be alright.

Cutenews is having this problem where it up and deletes every comment for no good reason. I apologize to anyone who took the time to leave one 
Edit: It was the spam protection, it seems.

Dead bugs in the mail
I found an ebay store what has dead bugs and will mail you dead bugs for money (an atlas rhino beetle, for instance). What you do with the bugs is your own business, and I won't ask, but me I choose to rehydrate them to splay their legs and draw them up. Maybe with carbon dust.

Oh, Hi There
I wanted a portrait to hang above my fireplace (should I ever have such a thing). Something that would greet me warmly as I come home after a long day. This is that image.

I had an idea for a horse
I should probably take this down in case you steal my idea. My idea for this horse.

This is something of a self-portrait, except that I don't smoke.

Convicted of fatally trampling scores of Savannah residents, the unrepentant giraffe will be brought to justice.

Early Bird
During a job hunt I had applied to an ad agency. To all their candidates they sent out the same small assignment, which was to create a mockup of a half-page ad for a fictitious small-business solutions firm. This was for the purpose of weeding out the bad applicants. I submitted a sketch of this very image, except that it said WORMS real big diagonally across it. I was weeded out.

I have wished death on a lot of people.
But the most painful kind for him.

Dead bodies, cut up bodies, no skin anymore
They are not as clean as this in real life. I, like a moron would do, messed up the latissimus dorsii. It should twist as it nears the arm, iirc.

Moon series
5 small 3x4" prints about how the moon was probably born: as a result of the fast, violent collision of two bodies of greatly differing mass. Just like everybody else.

Cowboy jumped over the moon
This is another intaglio print using ImageOn. An image is transferred onto copper plate via a photosensitive film, then you can ink it and run it through a press like a normal person. Is 9x13"

I'ma do this kind of chronologically, as if I've been updating over time.
This is an intaglio print; copper etched by acid, inked and pressed. Someday I'll again have access to a press and a huge hotplate and an acid bath and a crank-operated aquatint chamber and I'll smile about that fact as I neglect all those things to play videogames.
If you want to be a jerk and point out that the picture's a little blurry round the middle, I'll explain how it's impossible to line up two halves of an image scanned separately.

eulogy
I dedicate the first update of my new site to my old site:
Here's to you, you hell of remote rollovers and javascript links that manifested in me such despair at the thought of updating you. You uncrawlable jerk. Boy, did I like the look of you though. I'm sorry to do this to you; to trot about your corpse via your replacement, but you looked nice, in life. You understand, don't you? Your design forced me to cut decent content in favor of newer content, while filling empty space elsewhere with jpegs that didn't deserve you. A person had to click several times to see an image, only to have it open in a pop-up window! It's my fault, I know, and I'm sorry. You were made when the internet was nested tables and under-construction gifs
