New Project, plus a Meme

Two days ago, I had a brilliant idea for an art project. I would take a basic amniote body plan (a horse, for example), and deck it out in all the little spines, colors, tufts, bells, and whistles of a specific caterpillar. For instance, I could make a green and brown wolf with a brown bullseye on its back and long branching spines protruding from above its shoulders and hips ([link]) and end up with something awesome-looking. The sad thing is that when I start these kinds of projects, I will usually complete one picture in the series and either forget about the whole thing or become utterly bored with it. I have at least 14 other ideas that either never came to fruition or were started and never finished (Gossipiboma is a joyful exception). It's a habit I should kick.
On the brighter side of things, this project would seriously test my artistic skills (you have to admit that it would be pretty hard to capture the color of [link] 's spines), and I would probably redo individual drawings before they met my standards. Wish me luck if this ever works.

Hello, Fellow Artists! Welcome to a world of weird sculpture, much-too-earthly "aliens", and hopefully some more maps.

One of my most in-depth ongoing projects is one by the name of Gossipiboma, a planet filled with those much-too-earthly aliens and some very interesting plants.

I also write pseudoclassical and fake folk music arranged for strings, mostly. Speaking of strings, this viola is now gone, and my 51-year-old Roth has largely taken its place. Should I upload something new?

Oh, and, uh...

FRUMPY TACO!!!!!!

Oh ma gawd....your sig. I almost died laughing at that sketch. Was that also the one where the englishmen were turned into scotsmen?

Ever wondered what would evolve if the dinosaurs had never died out? Discuss this and more at the Speculative Evolution forums: [link]
It wasn't the same sketch, but the one with humans turning into Scotsmen might have been on the same disc in the complete boxed set.
