| Life drawing, nerdery, a move on the horizon |

Hello, cavernous, echoing vault of LJ! Here's some new art, and a question for the remaining two or three of you in the audience.
First, arts: New life drawings, even a lady with some heft, the best kind.
Secondly, whilst moving the last of my towering folder piles to a new office, I unearthed some unused cartoons I did for my bought-but-sadly-unpublished Cartoon Guide to Evolution, which frankly would have been an awesome book. I don't entirely recall the context of the giant squid getting an eye exam, to be honest.
These guys would have made a fun alphabet. I bet some nerd on Etsy has beaten me to it, tho.
From a chapter on common misconceptions:
SO, MOVING TIME:
This LJ is likely to disappear pretty soon! This is because, a mere three years after I finished grad school and moved away from Berkeley, the good IT folks at nature.berkeley.edu are finally getting around to clearing up space on their server, which has been my go-to image host for the last... 6? years. Thus, most of the pre-2009 pictures here are soon going to turn into sad broken JPGs. (and frankly, there has been more Polish comment spam than I was really looking for in a blogging service.)
This seems like a good point to move on to a cleaner, better-lit corner of the blogosphere, probably a standalone blog on trufflebeetles.com; my question to you: which one? I'd like to be able to intersperse images with at least roughly formatted text, so not Google+ or the twitters (tho I am in both of those places anyway). It would be great to have a working comment system and perhaps even an RSS feed, though twitter seems to have taken the place of the latter for a lot of folks. So: Tumblr? Wordpress? An alternative of which I am as yet unaware? |
