Went on a mission today.

There was another spy there...

illustration for kubi's tiny story: "she broke up with me while i was listening to my favorite song.  bitch."

if you don't already follow timssally, you definitely should.  she has some wonderful characters.

I can make you a bouquet, if you like.

cuz i like to be prepared.

(i'm having fun imagining all the different scenarios in which this would be a fitting statement.)

And when the day is done, I will follow you into the sun.

I adore rewfoe's art, and I've been looking for a place to use that rocketship.  Huzzah, I found it!

You have reached the edge of the world.

     Please stand behind the barrier  

            and take no photos.

"No, Mom, I don't know how my socks got wet."

Somewhere there's one to your heart.

After a while, they fused with their prisons, and needed fury to breathe.

We must hide find our selves in fiction.

Wow!  This is my 100th record!!  Damn, this site has me making so much stuff.  :D

Would anyone be interested in contributing to a collab of robot personals?

yes, that is the don't-pick-me flower, but lucy didn't pick it.  clearly it's magic, as it can smile and unwilt itself, so it temporarily uprooted to come along.  it loves seeing first meetings between soulmates. 

the more i worked on this, the more i wished for more stories with lucy and the girl with the pink umbrella.

i'm working on a tiny film of this, but i'm very new to after effects, so it's taking a little time.  in any case, a reading of the story and some music would be handy if you'd like to contribute something.

a papercut tiny story

it is difficult to express just how much i love cacheth's drawings.

just did a papercutting for swaylooza's tiny story: "I do not fear the monsters under my bed. The monsters I fear, are in my head."

sway said "paper" so... yeah. :)  i changed the end of the story a bit.  

this is made from paper, paper, more paper, and a little ribbon bow. i'm tempted to do one where she's standing on the moon, looking up at earth too.

paper cutting illustration for MaxBrixton's tiny story: "I fear I might be paranoid."

okay, this loop is gonna be stuck in my head all night.

here's what i imagine when i read blodnasir's tiny story:

"If I read our story backwards, it’s about how I un-broke your heart, and then we were happy until one day you forgot about me forever.

I love happy endings."

was going to add the text of the story in the illustration, but no placement or typeface seemed quite right. anyone have a better eye for that?

In the end, he decided to call it an early Christmas decoration.

i love totallyjamie's cutouts so much that i had to pull this one out into the physical world. :)

One wanted to share a life together.

The other wanted to share two.

i couldn't help myself, i had to do another.  :)  cut from lokta paper.

and here's another version.

there are a bunch of nice papercuts of this thing now! well, here's what i did. of course, it occurred to me halfway through that i should have done this with black paper.

They dance on the sun to melt into each others' arms.

i love the in-betweens of proi's flowy lineart.  it makes for nice texture.

Apart, they quarrel,

One ebb, one flow.

Twined together,

They sleep. They grow.

Little did she know her coat inspired regular raindrop dance parties.

"Curiosity didn't kill the cat?"

"She has an airtight alibi."
