Google says I have to make a new email address to continue this blog

That is lame. I don't want another email address. I want to access this blog with the email address I used to start it. Google has apparently decided that I can't use my email address on this blog, since that email address belongs to a pre-existing domain. It does. It's my domain. I've been using this email address with this blog for about a year, and then when Google Accounts happened my email address became mysteriously disassociated from itself. Now, because my email address exists, it can't be used to access this blog. This makes me want to never use Google for anything ever again, which is sad, because up until this they were doing great. There are a bunch of other irritating things that started to happen when Google Accounts kicked in. As happens so often, it wasn't until they had snaked tendrils into every aspect of our life that we realized they were evil. So this blog will be discontinued, and I will make my own blog using Ruby on Rails that Google can't mess with.

TL: DR
I'm mad at Google. This blog is done. Will post my new one soon.

March Monsters 31

This monster is microscopic.

This will be the last of these for a while; I'm going to focus on "Always Bringing, Always Taking Away," the puppet show we're putting together for Northern Spark in June. It'll be part of the Mississippi Megalops project aboard the Jonathan Padleford paddleboat, if you want to come see. I'll post progress reports along the way. This'll be my first full-scale puppet show ever, and i am both excited and aprehensive. Wish me luck! Olli "Rachel" Johnson and Thomas Boguszewski will be helping with the animation, and Erik Ostrom is putting together musical accompaniment. Wish us all luck.

March Monsters 24

i think with this one i started drawing, and then i thought "carp! that looks like Gertie!" so i put a bunch of spare heads on.

March Monsters 23

Today's monster is brought to you by yesterday's snowstorm and a spray bottle full of food coloring.

March Monsters 22

Today's monster reminds me a little of a Skeksis, or a horse in armor, or a poky amoeba.

March Monsters 21

Today's monster is very small.

March Monsters 20

This is an approximation of a shirt i saw in a dream once. The real thing looked a lot more like Exploding Dog. It was interesting to see how scribbly stuff came off my hand different than it looked in my head. Also I have since forgotten exactly what the dude is saying. "Calm down"? "You're blowing things out of proportion?" i put the closest thing i could think of.

March Monsters 19

Goatmeleon!

March Monsters 18

i was watching anime with the Black Hat Collective. I feel like this monster is a fail- not really because her hand is on backwards, which is a valid monsterly trait, but because she's not very monstrous. More a poorly drawn anime chick than an unsettling snake woman.

March Monsters 15

Recycling monster. Show my neighborhood how it's done, friend.

March Monsters 17

This monster is from a dream that Erik had one time.
