Jehoshaphat!

I have a cold. It sucks. no really, i thought i had beaten the recent bout of cold weather we've been having recently and like, not caught anything. i was sadly mistaken =_=

anyways! yesterday was...good. went to work ( one of two days down baby! yeah!) and drew a lotta stuff for the boss. a lotta unneccessary stuff i guess...it's her spawn's birthday coming up, so she asked me to draw a picture for him and his mates. this is what i came up with:
now come on, that's pretty awesome. she didn't like it though, so i did a few more options.

i felt a bit bleh that she didn't like it, but if there's one thing i've learned from working in advertising it's not to get too attached to options you've created for clients. poor megachow...you hadn't even begun to live.

i have finished reading The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov, and i have to say a big thankyou to Lawrence to giving me the novel. Detectives and robots are an awesome combination, and Elijah Baley ( Jehoshaphat!) is the coolest earthman plainclothesman ever. i've read the book after the Naked Sun, which is called The Robots of Dawn, but while reading dawn i thought it was a stand alone novel. Now it looks like i have to find a copy of the Caves of Steel >_<

also! using the wings from the option i made above i made an awesome wallpaper!

Yeah the robot series is awesome. When you consider the fact that "The Naked Sun" was written in 1956, it really is incredible.

Asimov was easily one of the most intelligent Americans to date. In addition to his amazing sci-fi catalog, he wrote books on physics, history, and even Shakespeare. He was a true renaissance man and has not yet been fully appreciated.

(FYI, I found your blog by Googling "jehoshaphat asimov", haha)

Do you mind if I use the image posted here (wings) as my desktop / in presentations?
