Crack art requests - don't add on to these, because they're just for fun. If you want to request art, go to my art blog.
SEE? I SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PHOTOSHOP ANYTHING EVER.
The background stars were done with that ‘picture tube’ thing on Paint Shop Pro. So were the piano keys.
This is creepy. I’m so sorry, Dustin.
It really sucks when the two main characters in your novel keep you awake until 1 am because they’re writing comedy together and having terrible giggle fits.
By the way, this is a rare moment since you get to see Basil lose it. He’s normally really good at holding a deadpan.
Since I drew Dustin in a rare moment of anger, here’s Basil openly smiling.
If Dustin gets angry for whatever reason, he apparently goes from cute to hot. I’ll take it.

I started working on Londinium in 2004. Then I changed the plot about twenty million times, added characters, subtracted characters, changed characters…yeah. It’s undergoing a solid rewrite right now, so hopefully I’ll have an actual draft of sorts ready to send off to publishers by the end of this calendar year.
If you - or anyone else, for that matter - wants to follow my progress, the book has a blog right here. It’s also got a tag on my Tumblr.
I’m honestly touched that you’re interested, anon! You just made my day!
If only there were a Shakespeare version of the “BARROWMAN!” gif. XD
I took a Shakespeare class last semester and serious dude was a perv. I love it.
Exactly why Basil and Will took the title of this play and parodied it with “Much Ado About Neighthing,” a play chronicling the story of one of their Eton teachers who was suspiciously interested in his horse.

Well, it’s actually one of your better bad ideas, but it’ll take you a long time and you’re very busy.
- Work at library
- Update sports blogs
- Write Londinium
- Asperger’s therapy
- Sleep
I’m not sure where I’ll squeeze in ‘write Londinium,’ but I’m going to try.
Also, if you’ve drawn fanart for Londinium, let me know and I’ll link to it on the blog page. (Note: I know nobody will contact me regarding this because Londinium has not been published yet.)
That awkward moment for a writer or artist when one of their fictional character’s school chums grows up to be really hot.
Damn you, Algernon Huddleston.
…and I have so, SO many more characters than this, but these are the only ones who have tags on Tumblr so far. As more appear on Tumblr, they’ll be added here, so.
Here, everyone, have a post on 19th century cartooning, complete with Basil’s school chum Will Conrad being inappropriate. (Click on Will to go to the post.)

This is Will. Will went to school with Basil at Eton. When Basil wrote stories, Will was his illustrator. He’s a good fellow, this one. He just draws strange cartoons as an adult and tries to get Punch to publish them.
As a grownup, he’s also fascinated by things like this. He likes to make fun of the melodramatic writing. At least that’s what he says.
