From Vinyl Toys, To Catholic Church… and what’s the deal with Radiohead?
The following are some thoughts I posted in a forum for a class at the Academy. The issue is copyright infringement/appropriation… and my take on it. It reads like an interview… so lets pretend I was just interviewed by the Landover Baptist Church. What is appropriation to you? There’s a difference ...

Extraordinaire Thanksgiving dinner (not prepared by me) at my place. Bring booze, bring pie, bring hot people in… and yes, bring yourselves. It starts around 7pm, but you guys are more than welcome to come in at any time. No ID necessary… travel in packs. Thankful, -Alex

After playing around with Sphincter, and being more content with the direction that character is going, I thought or exploring one of the characters with the most potential, Jr. This gal, is Mr. Walrusky’s son and ally to the mantis (despite his Dad being such a villian). At first I thought of making him less ...

Now, as you’ve seen before in my Summer 07 Usability entry, I’m building different environments that will be displayed in the series, and in the Mantis website. Now here is more of a cohesive list of the recent objects I’ve added to my virtual world. This first one is filled with objects found in ...

Yes, Marc the Crab is still dead… but what he didn’t realize, when he jumped to his death from that 4 inch step, is that even though he turned into a has-been, he was still loved by those closest to him. And thus, the crab will go on… through flashbacks, and arteries… or whatever other ...

After being satisfied enough with the Mantis hot bodies (Coco ended up being more flat, while Brenny and Charona are more “round-figured”), it is time to move on to the many faces of Sphincter. As many of you know, he’s one of the funniest characters in the pilot, because it is up to him to […]
