Summer on the Brandywine

New RSS feed and site rework/relaunch

Daniel — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 05:41:36 +0000

Hello Friends,

It was meteors is undergoing a bit of construction right now before I begin posting to it again. For the next week or so a lot of the sections will be unavailable and works in progress while I update them from their archaic/Dan-made/affront to God versions to the slick/common-sense-driven/Rachel-made versions.

But that’s not really the point. The point is, if you’d like to continue getting RSS posts from the site (which will be more frequent once I get it all reorganized, this time for sure), you should use this feed instead:

http://itwasmeteors.com/site/feed/

Thanks for following along and updating this info. I’ll make it worth our whiles. I’m working on some fun stuff right now.

Yers,

Dan

ALSO:

If you haven’t been to Rachel’s portfolio site lately, you should go now. She just did a ton of work to make my site work, none of which I understood. There is a painting of me pretending to take a nap on the city of Toronto. Didn’t really happen, but it makes me look innocent.

The Underdog

Hello Friends,

Here’s a picture I did just for some kicks, just to get back the feel of using india ink and quills. This one goes out to Catherine Mourot, whose book I’ve been dawdling on but am now done, and who gets a kick out of delusions of mousey grandeur.

Tomorrow is the 10th of December, the day I get that first twinge of panic, soft and only slightly nagging at first, that I haven’t done a single stupid little thing to prepare for Christmas. I’ll get another on the 15th and another on the 20th, each one stronger and more urgent than the last, and come the 24th I’ll be running wild-eyed and frantic and crazy through the orillia square mall, stumbling and weeping and grabbing at the worst gifts imaginable like some tired old cliche out of a female comic’s holiday stand-up routine. It’s hellish, irresponsible and totally preventable, but god dammit, it’s a tradition.

And holiday traditions are important.

The Urbane Foxes of London

Daniel — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:58:51 +0000

By now most people have caught wind of London’s “Urban Fox”, the garbage-rifling, cat-eating scourge of Jolly Olde England.

A generation later, their privileged offspring have ingratiated and integrated themselves into the city’s bustling night life, successfully imitating the dress codes and social cues of the times.

One of the great evolutionary leaps of the animal kingdom, the so-called “Urbane Fox” now thrives on cocktail wieners, witty banter and strong cider.

Sadly, these elegant creatures are already listed amongst London’s most endangered wildlife, their numbers swiftly and steadily decreasing as a result of fisticuffs and drunk driving.

What’s in Store….

Hello Friends,

I hope you’re enjoying the stupid poem that I’m illustrating right now. If you haven’t been paying attention then you should start from the beginning, here.

I put some new prints up in the shoppe, some stuff that’s only been available at book shows and that sort of thing. Until Now. I thought you might like a kick at the cat, too.

I guess that’s it for now. Just wanted to say hey.

Could this be the end of our hero? Even I don’t know that. I’ll be back next week with something new. Thanks again to Cisco for sharing his work this week!
