Anatomically incorrect

Becky Stern has made a model of a plush knee based on MRI scans, arthroscopy images, and anatomical illustrations. It's cute and ooky at the same time. Cyooky.



Check it out.

Where the Wild Things Are trailer!

It's up on Apple's site.

Compare to the "leaked" test footage from last year. Got a preference?

I was never a big Maurice Sendak fan as a kid... I didn't dislike his stuff, just never really sparked for me. But I'm really interested in seeing this movie. I think it's the Dave Eggers fan in me that does it.

Give me your answer do

After more delay than strictly required, I finished a commissioned monster for a friend this week. I named her Daisy. Daisy will be whisked off to her new home some time in the next few days.

I have begun on the next monster, which I've already had to rip up and start over once, with no promises that attempt #2 will fare better.

This is the latest wisdom: When you're making it up as you go, you pretty much have to assume that your first two tries won't work.

If either of them do, you totally win. But don't count on it, and for the love of Tom Bosley, don't PLAN on it. Just be happy when it shows up.

Also, let this serve as a plain reminder that I do commissions.
