Tek asked me to draw an Anglerfish, and I put it into the back of my mind, because I just drew an octopus. Then today the news came out that there was first ever footage of live specimen mating! It felt like I had to draw this tonight. Enjoy!

This Octopus makes me smile, most octopuses and cephalopods make me smile. I love them, because they are such neat creatures. Tonight I found out that they share almost no genes with other animals. They are genetically related to only other creatures like them. Which is fascinating really. They can camouflage themselves, and fit through any opening that is large enough for their beak, everything else can squish. I drew this with pencil on paper.
Geek Toys are near and dear to many hearts. Nuchtchas, Tek, Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit, and Jason Banks, discuss the ever changing world of toys. The closure of the biggest toy store in north america, ToysRUs, isn’t that much of a shock to geeks. They ignored the culture that could have helped, and ignored how other companies like ThinkGeek, GameStop, Hot Topic, and others have adapted to deal with the reality of online sales and getting geeks the thing that makes them squee.

I made Rory as a Funko Pop Figure, inspired by the next episode of Nutty Bites that I was editing today. I really wish this could be a real figure now, I’d buy so many of them, make it a reward level for the patreon. I designed this in illustrator using the dimensions of a real figure. You can expect to see this as the album art for the next episode.
Happy first day of Spring, it never feels like Spring on the first day. I painted this Spring Maiden, she is inspired by Jill Scott in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. I had seen the show before, and read the book. My friend Matt reminded me of it, and told me all seven episodes were available on youtube, so I have mainlined them. I love this show, and Jill Scott especially. It resonated with me back then and more now. We need more roles like this on TV, and more TV this inspiring. Why no season 2 HBO?
