I was determined to revisit a favorite photo spot, but remembering last year's bout with poison oak and spying a large infestation at my usual entry point, opted for a slightly less concentrated camas population. Arriving home after taking this photo, I felt my waistband itching, and plucked off a deer tick. In spite of two showers, I am still itching.
Made for giddygirlie in the Phat Quarter Comics/Cartoon swap.
I wanted to show the original that I worked from so that some of the weird stitching on the face would make a little more sense.

Tick
I think I basically murdered Justin's nice design here, and did a terrible job on shaping, but I told him I would make this, so I figured I would photograph it anyway.
Folded out of 9" tissue foil.
Even I draw the line at letting a tick sit on my hand to pose for photos. First one I've seen thats not been attached to the dogs or Jim! I don't know what kind of tick it is, possibly deer or sheep, but its obviously waiting for its next meal. Sheep tick - Lxodes ricinus. Thanks for id Andy.
That's not a coin covered with orange stuff. It's a marble.
Why do I still have a D4 laying around? I should probably cut that out and upload one without the die.
I documented Tick Tock Rock--Station Square's New Year's Eve bash.
Missing Pages and Eric Himan opened for Bret Michaels from Poison.
Found this on my dog. It looked kind of like a grape from the back. I have no doubt that that color's on purpose: less people notice the grape-colored ones, or more people think it's a grape, so the grape-colored ones survive to breed offspring. Still... it's pretty fucking disgusting. This picture kind of makes the penny look small, hold up a penny and imagine a bug a little bigger than that in length. and that deep, filled with your blood.
A thick swath of wood chips can help keep ticks out of your yard - they don't like crawling over the barrier. This has the added benefit of giving you an organic border that also keeps weeds down.
I hate Saturdays.
The only day I don't have to weak up early is becaming the worst day of the week. The day of procrastination and the feeling of my life pouring slowly while I'm doing nothing useful. I should be studying, programming or at least reading, but Flickr is damn good for procrastination.
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
In The End - Linkin Park
On the inside of my windshield, after a hike. It wasn't like I parked in the woods or anything! I got in my car, drove somewhere, parked, and there it was.
Made this (super short) video to make my best friend, Kim, laugh & because I love Demetri Martin’s new show. The bit I’m referencing is in the second episode & can be seen on the website - www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=218948&a....
