Fetishman

So I’m busy updating the wordpress installation and so forth and thought i’d say hello again.

Yep, long time no see – the fetishman stuff and the science job has been occupying many of my waking hours- but i has a plan now. Over the next few months I’ll be resurrecting this site and basically making it into my science doodlings and victoriana/steampunk noodlings repository. Oh and possibly even some actual science.

I had a lovely time at the uk steampunk weekend last Saturday, becoming possibly the loveliest stall I’ve ever run ever by the simple measure of me drinking tea and drawing people for most of the day. Finally met the current editor of the steampunk magazine in all her loveliness. Imparted mugs to those in need of mugs which declared their voices in favour of tea. And meanwhile, as if to prove the greatness of saturday, in deepest darkest bestival Ms D-.ran into the most awesome Moog, the creator of “cup of brown joy”.

A part upshot of all this is i’ve realised that

a) i quite like watercolours and

b) i can draw up tiny steampunkery quite rapidly when i put my mind to it

so the theory is that i could let this beast update once or preferably twice a week when it’s under way.

anyhoo, while we’re in transition may i draw your attention to some other repositories of geof-stuff

Or, if you have a spare few minutes i’d request you take part in the awesome visual science research me and the academics are undertaking:

we be wrapping up the pair-wise experiment next week, so if you’ve got a hankering to compare glasses do it now! in fact just do it anyway. science needs your brain meats!

it’s like living in the future!

yes, about this time last year i deployed issue one of the comic as a primer/ lure/ introduction to the fetishman-ening in ebook form. i supposed little would come of it, it’s free because it’s only one issue … but somehow it seems to have been, thus far, accessed 55000 times. I’m wondering  if perhaps i should put some others on there that require a small donation? somethign small because it’s all a bonus, but still somethign just to see if the current ebook is just accessed because it’s free and not for any better reason.

Anyway, if you have yet to peruse the first issue and were wondering just exactly what the difference between the webcomic and the print comic was, perhaps then you should attend this weblink and, with a little registration due to an understandably over-enthusiastic ratings policy, view some hot comic-y action:

anyway, back to business, issue 10 is literally on the drawing board, and if all goes to plan the flyers should be ready for birmingham comic con next weekend (“flyers” i should say … i may possibly have created a fetishman banknote)
