Makes Me Smile--A Dug and his Pixar

Here.

Well, it's no secret that I love Pixar, no, I adore Pixar. I've considered aiming for an internship several times.

They inspired me, in a permanent, life-changing, dream-catching, band-aid-for-the-soul kind of way. They've introduced me to fantastic worlds and exquisite characters with their funny little problems in a manner nothing short of brilliant. In the most practical sense, they've taught me what truly good writing looks like. Maybe someday, Pixar, maybe someday...

Makes Me Smile---Batman and His Villians

From the top left, Clockwise: The Bat himself (of course), The one and only Clown Prince of Chaos,
the Scarecrow, and Killer Croc

No, seriously.

Why? Because I really, really want to be Batman (indeed), but also I'm very impressed by his villains. His villains are (often) as enduring as the Dark Knight himself, in spite of the goofy costumes, the wacky evil schemes, and the Comic Book Code. Why? Because Batman's villains aren't just nefarious evil doers in ridiculous getup; They're ideas. They are the personifications of concepts that Batman must overcome and defeat, and the best work on Batman (the work that doesn't just involve another new Bat-ray pulled from hammerspace, though that's kinda nice in its own way ;P) shows him overcoming what the villains represent as much as the scheme they've planned. A lot of them just get locked up only to break out again,  like so many of our demons. But when they come out to play? They've got the Caped Crusader to contend with. :)

Oh, yes, and because of the Joker. I love the Joker. ;D

Because the poor guy tries, he really, really tries, and I have much respect for that. 

He also mangages to crack me up on a regula basis and still be awesome.

Hummer, Contemplative

Doodle Often---#5 "(excuse my cheesy-ness) Gone Baty"

I've always loved bats. Always.

The inspiration shows up in my doodles and such repeatedly.

SHARE THE LOVE!!!


 I guess that's about all I have to say about that.

Tragic Beauty

Doodle Often---#4 "...hello."

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. But he's certainly friendly, yes?

Good day to you, dear guests. How are you faring?

A is for "Albus" (Albinism---First Obsession Topic)

I've always been interested in disorders, conditions, and diseases, mental or physical. Mutations, genetic irregularities of any kind, you name it, I'm fascinated by it. Albinism, or achromatosis, is one such condition; there are varying forms, of which I will delve into more formally and with more detail, but the general meaning of the term refers to lack of pigment in certain cells caused by a deficiency or absence of an enzyme during melanin production.

Unfortunately, this condition is a often considered an affliction rather than a blessing because it adversely effects the albino individual's vision, increases the chance of sun burn and skin cancer, involves bleeding problems (since platelets in the blood frequently malfunction), and often incurs social stigmatism in locations where albinism is associated with witchcraft and the supernatural. At very least, albinism is a quite misunderstood condition, and many individuals who are affected feel isolated from society, in varying degrees.

However, albinism, despite it's difficulties and downsides, is a very beautiful condition.

This is Connie Chiu. She's an albino model, and she's gorgeous.

These pictures are not mine, I found them here. Also, Connie Chiu's website can be located here.
