New Citizens

(EDIT 2015: Added header image.)

New header! I've been putting this off for a while, I tried to draw all sorts of people and things to populate the foreground, but nothing looked right. I guess I can always add things later.

Oh, god! This picture has been in the backlog for ages, I didn't know how to colour it and tried many backgrounds, but nothing stuck. I guess I still like it.

I originally drew these pig-carrying socialists to populate the new blog header but it didn't look right, so here they are: HAPPY FREE PIG DAY!


I've cut down on the number of podcasts I listen to now. Tell 'em Steve-Dave tops the list as my favourite new podcast, it's by Kevin Smith's New Jersey friends: Bryan Johnson, Walt Flanagan and Brian Quinn. I feel that it's funnier than SModcast, which in all honesty has gotten a bit stale.

Another View Askew-niverse podcast I've started to listen to is Highlands: A Peephole History which features the above-mentioned Kevin Smith, Bryan Johnson and Walt Flanagan talking about their history in Highlands, New Jersey.

Tweet Me Harder is a funny and at times surreal podcast by web-comic artists David Malki with Kris Straub.

Making the return cut:
