Another day, another dollar...

...another Elder God waiting to steal your soul and cast its writhing essence into the abyssal depths of madness and despair.

Just a typical day in the Big City, really.

Thanks to Julie for the awesome photo- love it!

Lady Cthulhu goes to Emerald City ComiCon

And what an adventure it was!

Epic meeting of an Elder God and Wil Wheaton, King of the Nerds. Squee!

Nothing like an impromptu professional-quality photo shoot to make an Elder Good feel pretty. Thanks, Todd!

 Lady Cthulhu is judging you. Be sure to be on your maddest behaviour!

Oh.. oh dear.. there is a little bit too much Wrong in this photo...

Hey look- it's Mike Mignola! My favourite comic artist, and a huge inspiration for me over the years. It's not every day you get to meet one of your heroes! He was absolutely lovely, and even looks a bit chuffed to have his picture taken with Lady Cthulhu... d'aww!

These folks were great- we had a wonderful 'when geekdoms collide' moment! I love my fellow nerds... :) And doesn't Al make a lovely Codex?

Speaking of fellow nerds, three cheers for the best ComiCon road trip crew ever! :D

And now we just need to think of costumes for next year.. hmmm...

I draw on bananas now. Bananas are cool.

Sometime last year I decided it would be fun to try making some banana art. Generally, folks have accepted this new fascination without question. My friends are very understanding. ;)

Okay, there are a couple of commonly asked questions: 

1. How do you make these? 

You simply bruise the skin of the banana by scratching it with a pin, toothpick, or other sharp implement of choice. After a few minutes, the image will gradually start to appear as the lines darken.

2. Why Doctor Who? 

Well, the Doctor is known to be a fan of bananas. That seemed a good enough reason at the time. 

"Bananas Are Good"

4. No, wait a minute... 

3. Are you going to keep making these crazy things?

Oh, probably! Any requests? :)

"Ood-nana"

We must feed... we must feed... we must feed you a banana.
