forsothe1.) Webcomics! Evan Dahm's webcomic Order of Tales has recently come to an end, so maybe now would be a good time for you to check it out! It has some pretty fantastic worldbuilding and storytelling, and his inking is gorgeous. And while you're there, you might as well read his first story set in the same universe, Rice Boy, as well. They're two of my favorite webcomics ever, so do give 'em a whirl if you're looking for something to do.
2.) China! So for the past month, I've been in Shanghai interning at an ad agency. My job was to draw up storyboards for campaign pitches. (And occasionally, run to my boss's restaurant to fetch him some wine. That was kind of hilarious.) But since you don't need storyboards for every pitch, mostly what I did was sit around and bum around the Internet, and sometimes it got so boring I would reread my old Jython code. I reread old codes I wrote for homework. Clearly, I was losing it. Anyway, my internship is over, and now I'm chilling out in my hometown, eating lots of noodles. Noodles make me happy.

t_lyrical asked me five pretty awesome questions, and here are my answers.
2) The cast from Generation Kill, Band of Brothers, and The Pacific meet at a party. There is alcohol. Lots of it. Who becomes friends and who becomes enemies and what kind of shenanigans would ensue? Oh my god, YOU KNOW I LOVE CROSSOVERS D: Well, er, let's see. If Ray and Luz do not become friends, my heart would be broken. Luz would imitate Brad because he's totally used to skirting death like that and Ray would have a hysterical fit of giggles and Brad would MAKE BITCHY FACES AT THEM. And then maybe sit with Speirs for a bit and get locked in a staring contest with him. (I don't know.) Maybe at some point Ray and Luz would wander over and start making fun of Leckie, and Leckie's gang would totally join in on the ribbing and he would give them his squinty-eyed glare of doom, the one that he's so fond of. Ray would teach Luz Avril Lavigne. They would sing Complicated loud and proud and very, very drunk, and they would probably pull Walt into their shenanigans, which I believe would involve bugging the ever loving shit out of everyone in the party.
Malarkey and Babe would get Sledge totally hammered (HA! Do you see what I just did there) and then they would make a Drunken Redheaded Trio of Awesome (And Adorable). Maybe there would be some cavorting around the party with arms slung around shoulders doing the high kick. Skip would be made an honorary member. Haldane would come back from the dead, dammit, and he and Winters and Fick would sit together and talk about their rowdy kids and how some officers are kind of dumb and Nixon would totally be jealous for a while. Hillbilly would pat him on the back and offer him a drink.
Also, the idea of Harry Welsh getting drunk with the Recon Marines makes me clap my hands in glee. Loud danceoffs may, and should, ensue. Then someone will make a comment about his height and he will throw punches, and there would be an fistfight of epic proportions involving everyone.
And I hope an intoxicated Lipton starts singing about how he's an eager beaver.
I don't know who would become enemies! They should all enjoy each others' company, even after the fistfight. (And I'm a bit fuzzy when it comes to The Pacific characters of later episodes.) I sort of want to draw some of this now.
3) You come across a time machine and get to test drive it! Which time period will you go to? I want to go back and see some of that Amarna art in the making in Egypt. (Creepy, creepy wall murals. But the busts are lovely.) Or maybe I'd go to China and kick Confucius. Just a little bit! Third option: French Revolution!
4) What's one aspect you want to improve on the most in your art? Oh man, there are a lot of of those, but I think I would have to pick backgrounds (and perspective). Need more practice and patience!
5) YOU ARE NOW A CAPTAIN THE THE AERIAL CORPS. What kind of dragon will you have and what will you name it? I'd want a Yellow Reaper, I think they're adorable and AWESOME. And I would end up naming it Vimes, just because yes.

t_lyrical asked me five pretty awesome questions, and here are my answers. Leave a comment saying "SET PHASERS TO STUN" and I'll respond by asking you five questions to satisfy my curiosity. Update your journal with the answers to your questions. Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions.1) The president awards you with a medal! What crazy awesome adventures did you go through to earn it? Well CLEARLY I would ... er ... I would ... um .... save an endangered species, or something. Yes. (Fail answer.)
