Always a Killer to Me

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes

She can ruin your faith with her casual lies

And she only reveals what she wants you to see

She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me

*

She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you

She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe you

And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free

Yeah, She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me

*

Ohhh... she takes care of herself

She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time

Ohhh... and she never gives out

And she never gives in, she just changes her mind

*

And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden

Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleedin'

But she’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be

Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me

*

She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel

She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool

And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree

And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,

But she's always a woman to me

(Sometimes I wonder if I am not as carzy as the general public suspects my client to be. Knives are starting put me in a dream-like wistful state completely unethical for a man in my position. Perhaps there is something to be said for forbidden fruit and the attractiveness of a mind as sharp as my own.

Ladylike

While NoFace makes a small and strangely Hindu apprearance here, this one is more about Iolanna. I was listening to "She's Always a Woman to Me" by Billy Joel today and realized that, in a fucked up way, it reminded me of her. I'm planning a montage later. (She needs a montage. Even Rocky had one.)

Yeah? Well F--- YOU! Sketches

Sircuit. With Shiva'd-up cyborg bits.

Firebird. With fire arrow and egg ... thing.

Renard. With wings (which *don't* help him stay in place)!

Clockwise from top left:

Ink
Spectrum

Surly Water Ninja

Big Head

Ram God

Can you find IF?

I thought some of the old characters needed a little work.

Sketchbook Fun

Why not. They don't all have to be finished. Nor should they.

Servants of Shiva

Thoughts

The power of kitties.
A little experiment with Sircuit's ability to communicate in manifest.

Speak of the Devils

... and they appear.

Weird. I forgot I did these. Actually, they are the only two decent parts of a larger piece that sucked. This one is *at least* five years old. Pretty good for a throwback. Still weird that I would forget my own art. Oh well.

Moving Again

I know. I do this a lot.

I'm moving to Champaign, Illinois this weekend. I am not sure what the internet/scanner situation will be. So if there's noting new here for a while? Now you know why.

Sorry, but this has to be done.

Secret Sauce

She loved barbeque ribs as much as the next woman ...

But she gave nobody permission to use Brother Choppenheim to make them snack sized.

Updated Charles

Charles needed a tune-up. And a different rune. I didn't really like the old one.

Knives are a Girl's Best Friend

For more art of the Empire, see the art of Joshua Eull. It's his world. He just let me put a few lawyers and a serial killer in it. http://dailyeullogy.blogspot.com/ It's good stuff.
