Shrunken Heads Game Background

Here's the background from the Shrunken Heads game by KewlBox, stretched out to accomodate a 1920x1200 screen.

Also for your spooky enjoyment, scroll down for a screenshot from the Reboot TV show.

BOO!

More Clowning Around

Here I took cutouts of the clown masks from The Dark Knight and ran them through various filters in Photoshop. If you're afraid of clowns, you might want to click out of here. If you're not afraid of clowns, let's see if we can fix that, shall we?

 

A Collage of Clowns

Well, it seems that entrecard is no more. I'm sorry to see it go, for not only was it my best traffic source, it also gave me the opportunity to be part of a community of many diverse and excellent blogs. But you won't be getting rid of me that easily! Where I have a lame piece of art I want to share, I'll be there. Where there's a YouTube video I think deserves worldwide acclaim, I'll be there. When my novel and other works are finally ready for the world, I'll be there.

Anyway, since the season of Halloween is upon us, I decided to kick it off with a collage of images from Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City; featuring the Clown Prince of Crime himself, and his many merry minions.

"I am Batman!"

 

 

I've been on a bit of a Batman binge, what with playing the Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games, as well as watching DVDs of the 90's animated series, and recently seeing The Dark Knight Rises at the theatre. So here's my parody of Batman's most iconic line:

 

I am greatness,

 

I am the width,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I...

 

am...

 

FAT man!

 

I am laziness...

 

I am the hairball...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I...

 

am...

 

CAT man!

 

I am not THIS man,

I am not the OTHER man,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I...

am...

THAT man!

 

Say, anybody notice how Superman never has to identify himself?

 

Also, if someone could get entrecard up and running again, they'd be MY hero!

Addendum

Am I the only one experiencing trouble with entrecard? The site was being really slow last week, and this week it's not loading at all.

In Memory of Loving Grandparents

I recently returned from a funeral for my grandmother on my mother's side. It was quite the family reunion, with various relatives from my mother's side of the family, some of which I haven't seen in quite some time, as well as my brother coming all the way from South Korea.

Monday we had the viewing, and Tuesday was the service. I was one of the pallbearers, the second time I've been one. The first was for my grandfather on my father's side. They are each survived by their respective spouses.

This funeral felt a bit more bittersweet than the last, as I'm down yet another grandparent, with only one-half on each side left. On the other hand, I was able to stay with family a bit longer for this one, which was great, given how little we see each other lately.

It's also been driven home a little more forcefully how life catches up to us. I grew up knowing all my grandparents pretty well. I have a few memories of my great grandparents when I was very little. Now my own parents are grandparents, and their parents have had great-grandkids for a while now. The cycle continues, and life goes on, until it ends. I believe in the hereafter, and that I'll see my grandparents again, but it is human nature to fear death, and to miss those that have passed on.

I am at least grateful that it was my grandmother and grandfather's time to go. Their physical and mental conditions had been getting worse and worse, so death came as a release for them. I also take comfort in the fact that they lived full and virtuous lives, part of which they shared with me. I recall reading somewhere, "If you died tomorrow, how many people would be at your funeral?" I can say that my mother's mother and father's father had lots of people at their funerals; they had forged and maintained relationships that mattered, and were a joy to those that knew them. I hope to follow in their example, and be the kind of person worthy to inherit their legacies.

I decided to have a little fun with one of my pics from the horse trip. To vote it up or "like" it go here.
