The Mad Art Lab / Geek Life Nexus

2011-12-30T14:10:00.000-05:00

This week, Mad Art Lab and The Geek Life collaborated on a podcast episode. The result was a chaotic mix of Surliness, fantasy armor, poetry, cheesecakes, kiln pizza, puppets, Mona Lisa critters, 3D printers and Sparklecorns. I guess you had to be there. Or, y'know, you could just head over to the site and listen to it yourself.

Three Years

2011-12-18T09:00:00.001-05:00

So, it's been three years since some smartass said, "I’d like to see a comic called Tree Lobsters. Something along the lines of Dinosaur Comics. Just clip art lobsters sitting in trees discussing philosophy." Yeah, what a stupid idea that was!

Anyway, to all of you who've been faithfully reading Tree Lobsters: Thanks! Here's a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio walking out of a Stargate:

To everyone else: Hey, you're probably not reading this anyway, so screw you.

Rejected!

2011-11-05T15:16:00.005-04:00

Those people at Machine Of Death rejected all three of my stories! Unbelievable! I spent days on those. Well, hours. OK, at least an hour on each one, so that's, like, more than three in total. That counts as "hours", right? But they were really good stories! Well, one of them was. I guess.

A lot of other people got rejection emails yesterday too. And some of those have posted their stories online. We've been compiling a list of them on Mad Art Lab.

Yeah. I know. Sorry.

One of the items I packed up and took to Dragon*Con was a baby mammoth with a jetpack. Head over to Mad Art Lab for details and an explanation. Trust me, it makes sense within a certain narrow context. Sort of.

I gave it to Rebecca, who promptly lost it. This is why we can't have nice things. Fortunately, someone found it and returned it to her.

The folks at Mad Art Lab also banded together and created a whole pile of scientist paper dolls, which we handed out, with crayons, to Dragon*Con attendees.

Here's a very "special" doll Scott Sigler put together using pieces from several different designs. Um, yeah.
