Creativity Is A Bottomless Hole To Feed

It is because I never go "I did a lot today", I'm always going "where did the time go? It's almost 1 A.M. and all I've done creativity-wise was practice violin, work on comics, start a handmade book, and set up an Astral Knife bandcamp. (Which I'm not linking to until I'm happy with it.) But here's some work-in-progress stuff I'll share in the meantime:

Comix:
This is a new series I'm working on called "Platform Edge". I originally developed the characters for an art gallery magazine, did a one page color strip...I'm not sure if the magazine was ever released yet or not. I haven't had time to go down there.

Cut up/Collage:

Chaos reigns, and the phone I could afford has a low-res camera. I want to finish this within the next five days for a handmade book exhibit I heard about. It states "Do you suffer monotony, boredom, uniform venous spider ulcers." In the center it reads "What is the sound of a person thinking?" A question an interviewer asked the creator of mogees. Well, Bruno Zamborlin didn't have an answer, but that doesn't matter, because all the real people who do this answered it at the Sclimpfluch Extreme Rituals carnival in 2011.

All the sounds here are being produced by registering brainwaves. But this doesn't get the media coverage of Mogees, which cost three times as much as a Crank Sturgeon Plug Ugly, but they're pretty and brightly colored and transform everything into the sounds of conventional instruments! The demo video features a number of clean cut young hipster types making conventional sounds with their pretty plastic contact mogees, but I heard they had to shoot it that way because the GeroGeriGeGeGe were unavailable.



Eric says there's probably some way to subvert the intent  of Mogees, but I wouldn't bother till they're cheaper.
