It’s Dot Com!

Friday, January 27th, 2012

In what will undoubtedly be more exciting news for me than for you: I have FINALLY acquired the domain skary.com! So, any day now, you'll be able to tell people to go to skary.com, and you won't have to text them later to say, "My bad. It's skary dot NET," and all those blogs that have been getting it wrong for eight years now will not have to do a darned thing.

Update: Childrin R Skary has officially relocated. Any old links you have pointing to skary.net will redirect automatically. If you tell anyone about the site, make sure you waggle your eyebrows and do witchy fingers as you emphasize "dot COM!" Then watch as your friends ooh and ah before they've even seen it.

In celebration, here's a totally unrelated illustration of what Doctor Who would be like if Tom Waits were the Doctor.

Nap Interrupted sketch

I have far more rough sketches than I have finished illustrations. Here's one I just found that I had forgotten all about. I believe I was going to call it "Nap Interrupted."

For Japan

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

The situation in Japan is pretty dismal, to say the least, and they could use everyone's help. And if you're going to help, it's always best to donate directly. Click here to donate to the Red Cross, or go here to see a list of other reputable organizations that are accepting donations.

If, however, you're already shopping for a Skary print, it's worth mentioning that all profits for "Work to Do" (that's the one shown below) will go to the Red Cross. (All my profits, that is. I couldn't say what happens to ImageKind's profits.)

The text translates to "Children are scary." Extra special thanks to Cymark and Katie for help with the Japanese!

Jelly Sandwich

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

Edie did not recall how she came to be dead nor why she suddenly wasn't anymore. She was hungry. She knew that. And she was quite certain that if she cracked open a man's skull, she'd find a jelly sandwich in there.

I love vintage advertising anyway, but soap ads in particular usually take the cake.

Exterminate!

Today someone said to me, "In a perfect world the Skary Childrin would make an appearance on Doctor Who... playing with little Daleks," and I thought, "Or perhaps..."
