Thursday Randomness: Transformers and Generic Brands

For today's "Thursday Randomness," I'm just sharing a bit of insight from my wife in regards to the new "Transformers" film. While watching a commercial for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" last night, she offered the following remark about the replacement of Megan Fox by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (good luck saying that name three times fast).

"We all know she's just the K-Mart version...



"...of the Wal-Mart generic."



I about spit my drink when she said that, I was laughing so hard.

And yes, I basically considered this a good excuse to post pictures of Megan Fox and a Victoria's Secret's model on my blog.

Thursday Randomness: Before & After

For today's Thursday Randomness, I'm showing off some of my graphic art skills. Doing this comic strip for several years now has really done a lot to improve my work. There's been a lot of trial and error, sadly with some of the errors making it online, but for the most part, I think some of what I do has turned out really well. On occasion, I even hit a grand slam. I think the episodes I posted yesterday and this past Friday fall into that latter category where I really nailed it.

For my steampunk version of Richmond, I went down to the Shockoe Bottom area which has a lot of cobblestone streets and snapped some pictures. This happened on an overcast Sunday, which worked out well since it not only kept things from being too bright but also limited the number of cars and foot traffic. Here are some "before-and-after" pictures of what I did.
