Fetishman

alex’s birfdee party last night, good fun,
lesson learnt: cakes burn best when soaked with meths but this does diminish their edibility,

something else: for those who haven’t yet found science macros, it’s the lolscience community, deftly typified by this awesome latest post:

do i love you? i must.

here we are, spitting distance from christmas, you’ve got yer panic on, and lo and behold the fetishman empire provides you with bountiful (bountiful i say) gifts. and by gifts i mean there’s a new cartoon up on the the fetishman website and hand-crafted seasonal cards that you can purchase from the fetishman shop for people you love or for people who are easily offended you love a little less.

this weekend sees the fetishman stall proudly erected at the london fetish fair (jim and myself travelling down to the metropolis on the saturday, dropping some prints off with coffee,cake&kink and then wallowing in and out of the regular depressants and stimulants for the next 36 hours) … and if your sunday is in need of some fetish-fair-action and/or fetishman-tat please do pop along and say hello.

Hello my beauties,

(yes, as ever there’s a new page on the website), weekend was good – stuff sold to the not-so-innocent kind of civilian at the london fetish fair, booze drunk, TG attended (jim nearly got kicked out for not looking fetish enough and we managed to linger long enought o see the hooks-through-mister-faulkner display. woot!), good company revelled in. anyhoo, in my continuing attempt to convert comics to cash, me and various minions will be found at manchester and birmingham this weekend:

jaysus, mad life at the second. getting stuff done. no 9 to 5 means there’s a constant feeling like i’m slacking (and to be honest i think that’s a good thing – stuff needs doing and letting a chance like this slip by would be a world of stupid). so yeah, making money be a good thing. at which point i had a thought …

i don’t feel like an artist – i feel like a cheeky bastard who has a fair understanding of humour and an effective but thankfully-unique drawing style. ~however~ what if i think of myself as an artist? the upshot of this is that i go about finding how to put prints in galleries (cafe galleries seem less intense, but i suppose galleries are part of it too …) and using existing stuff to make money in whole new ways (yeah i’ll draw new stuff eventually, it’s more the principal of the thing so i’m reluctant to engage in a flurry of watercolours when my strengths are penmanship and humour, if you see what i mean).

i’ve asked a couple of peeps who seemed to think it worked. ~how~ i go about it is a whole other kettle of.

[note: this is not a whiny self-pitying cry for votes of support like "but you're good" - in many ways that's irrelevant, anyone posting as such is inviting withering scorn. scorn i say. dear god, in a few days i'll be able to call myself "a resident artist" for the fetish cafe/gallery in london so i'm taking it on faith that i'm not shat.]

awesome
