Work Vent

Had a customer who wanted me to design his logo. At first he said, it’s not a rush! I’m still in the very early stages. I’ve got a lot of jobs on my plate, so I admit, it went on the back burner for a week.

He calls and tells me: oh well actually I need these logos right now.

So I mock up several iterations of what he requested. He gets back to me and is like, okay, can you do more logos that look like a variation of this. Completely different but I’m like, okay. I make him several different variations and send them to him. All together we’re talking about like 10-14 different logos. Roughs, of course. Stuff that can easily be polished.

He’s quiet for two weeks.

He emails today saying: my son decided to try out some AI and I think we’re gonna go with this logo. But can you also make me some more logos of a different kind?

No, Mark. I think not.

TOTD diary 3

@ryebecca's wonderful Dagger Squad as Star Wars characters moodboards came across my dash again and I (still) felt especially excited about Javy as Lando Calrissian. And you just can't have one without the other, which is why I love Jake as Han(g) Solo. It's just brilliant all around!! Couldn't stop thinking about how much they'd slay in those fits, and then I thought "yeah, they should dress up as the characters for halloween. every year." and it grew from there.

Welcome to a quick recap of macheresin halloweens through the years!

Coyote x Hangman - Halloween Anniversaries

They first started the tradition in high school, thinking that dressing up as the duo would be a fun bff costume and easy to pull off. [Because it's a party in high school, I'm imagining there had to be a classic game or two.] Perhaps they were dared to play seven minutes in heaven with each other. Perhaps they got reaaaally into it.

They've been together ever since.

And to commemorate their anniversary, they dress up in those same costumes every. year. The first time they celebrate Halloween with the daggers, they all think it's pretty cute. Second year in a row raises eyebrows, but whatever, they've got bigger problems.

Namely, Jake and Javy, tipsy and excited to be celebrating their 15th anniversary go through the most elaborate flirty routine. Again, every year they do this. Jake steals Javy's cape at some point, Javy calls him a "slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler" for his stealing. Every time. Except it's far too fond. And flirty. It's a weird foreplay they do.

Daggers have seen quite enough thanks, and lock them in a closet, unknowing that this was how their relationship started all those years ago. They give that cursed closet a wide berth, because, jeez.

Han(g) and Lando emerge somewhat disheveled and having decided that they want to get married. Immediately, please. Mav can do it, because why couldn't he. That man can do anything.

So they get married on their 15th anniversary, on Halloween. (Less anniversary dates to remember if they're all one and same).

Years later, their kids will ask why their dads always wear those same old, lame costumes. [I'm only hoping Disney isn't pumping out insane amounts of content still at that point so it's not like they're super relevant in their costumes.] But it's relevant to them <3. They can't very well go breaking their anniversary tradition can they.

Except. One year, decades after their first Halloween together, it finally happens. Jake's dad bod has gotten too big to fit in the costume he's been wearing for most of his adult years. He has a crisis. Half of it is mourning his youth and his abs, the other half is worried their marriage will now somehow fall apart because he can't keep up his end of the tradition. Regardless, the crisis is real.

Obviously, Javy knows to appreciate a dilf like any sane person. He's absolutely feral over Jake's dad bod. So what if Jake can't fit in a costume that's way older than their children? They were honestly getting kind of threadbare anyway. Javy finds a way to soothe his husband, remind him that his worth isn't defined by how defined his muscles are, and that their marriage is a solid as ever, nothing bad will happen. They can still try to figure out a new Han costume for Jake, or they can come up with something totally new. After that year they were a new matching costume every year. Let's be real, their family and friends are grateful for the change after having to suffer the same shit for forever. Although, they are still pretty gross and obsessed with each other. That would never change.

Underneath the pale moon light,

Dreaming of a circus life,

Carousels and ferris heights,

I'll be yours if you'll be mine.

Cause I'm lonely.

I'm so lonely.

If you hold me I'll be your only.

Are you lonely?

I've began noticing a habit of 'guiding' or 'herding' people when I am walking somewhere with friends or my partner, I'll just subconsciously guide/herd them in directions if they aren't paying attention. They don't mind, they just assume it's another weird dog trait. Which I agree, it's gotta be something from my dog brain. Either herding dog or guid dog of some sort.

I also get nervous about crossing roads (I assume from any number of wild canine theriotypes) so I will subconsciously move much faster while crossing the road, which makes those around me go faster to keep up.

Lost my Apple Pencil. My life is over. It was nice knowing you all.

Great news if true…

I did a little cartoon a while back that pays homage to Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner (and the company ACME)

Because EVERYTHING reminds me of my favourite blorbos

unusual stuff happening over here:

I received 3 postcards to art up for a show at Brassworks Gallery in Dec, but wasn’t feeling like simply drawing. Sometimes the urge hits to just try something totally off the wall and you gotta answer the call.

so I slathered on a layer of varnish, adhered paper with greyscale photographic backgrounds on them (which made the printer ink bleed and result in neat color effects), covered it all in epoxy resin, threw ink on the resin before it dried, and waited.

today I painted atop the dried epoxy, and once the paint is dry it’ll get a second coat of resin

Friday March 22

I saw my namesake (a coyote) today which was weird because they are hard to stop in the area i’m in but i’ve seen a few lately. I hope the poor thing was ok it looked very scared as it ran.
