distractions

you know, just something to keep my mind busy. to keep me distracted.
o.k.

a little game, total nonsense, just for fun...
finding websites based on dictionary.com's word of the day.

today's word:
resplendent: having brilliant color, beauty

my first click took me to an artist site, called resplendent chaos - it has chaos in the title, i figured i'd like it.

the first thing i see on the page is this:

badmags.com
yep. this looks like fun.
the image, and there are more than this one, goes with a link to a site called bad mags
here's a bit from the site:
BAD MAGS illuminates the darker recesses of "pop lit"--focusing upon the strangest, sleaziest and most unusual periodicals and tabloids published in the US from the fifties through the eighties.
worth it to click the link? i think so.

anyway, back to resplendent chaos... i click "about the artist" to discover this blog belongs to a woman who goes by the name 14.
her interests list has all kinds of things that appeal to me.

she mentions the fool tarot card in her list of interests. and she has a section of work that is all cards. here's one:

agony of my heart.
well, i can relate to that.

her art is cool.
her blog is funny and worth reading.

here's a bit:
I've spent much time lingering near tourist traps with my sketchbook this summer and here are some of the results. I couldn't help but notice a large number of horizontally-challenged butts populating the streets this year. Yep. I decided to create a comic strip called Butts of Summer and this is my first panel.

or maybe:
All Drakker Von Zorgbot wanted after a stressful day spent hauling quantum foam across the vast interstellar wormhole superhighway was a relaxing drink of scotch at his favorite galactic quandrant watering hole. What he got instead was an insatiable Earth vixen hellbent on tease and titillation.


...and she has lots of great links.
go. have fun.

cheers.
