Here is a thing I did for the upcoming “KATAMARI” show that Floating World is putting together on September 2nd.

Of all the kickin’ jams that I like to roll my Katamari to, this one is probably my favorite. No, wait! It’s this one! Or was it this song? They’re all so good, really:D

Bridge of Birds 01

“I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world.”

So whenever I can, I want to illustrate little scenes from one of my favorite books, Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart. It’s a sprawling adventure set in “an ancient China that never was.”

Things begin on a real high note, when protagonist Number Ten Ox wakes one day to find the kids in his town stricken by plague.

“The boys at the riverbank were staring wide-eyed at Fang’s Fawn, who had turned pale as death. She clutched her throat and gave a sharp cry of pain and toppled from the water buffalo to the grass.”

“Not one child under the age of eight and not one adult over the age of thirteen had been affected by the plague, but every child – every single one – between the ages of eight and thirteen had screamed and blindly clawed the air, and now lay still as death in the infirmary that the abbot had set up in the bonze’s common room. The weeping parents looked to the abbot for a cure, but he spread his arms and cried out in despair:

‘First tell me how a plague can learn how to count!’”

Some Scifi For You

Anthony — Sat, 29 May 2010 01:27:36 +0000

I’m talking at those of you cats (that’s right, YOU) who are attending Wiscon this weekend. My friends Anthony (Ha) and Alice, along with some other writers, are reading tomorrow afternoon at the con. Anthony wrote the comic “Empire” that I illustrated – he’s got a talent for building worlds and I am very proud that he gives my name a good name. Alice’s latest short “Beautiful White Bodies” is a satire about high school girls and infectious (literally) beauty – it’s real subtle and creepy and funny all at once.

I like to think that the designer of the 2nd shirt from the right calls that pattern “Star Barf.”

The po’ of today and the po’ of tomorrow.

These guys have something to do with these guys, but I haven’t entirely figured it out yet.

On an entirely related note, this is what some lucky Italian police get to ride in. RAD.

Turns out there’s an actual “Butterflower.”
