Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

I think Phil and I are about to head down and drop the $3,000 deposit (ack!) for the space since we've sold enough tickets to start paying the bills, but first I wanted to post an updated picture of Rookaiju because now you can actually see where I'm going with it (and how it's based on Roo). You can click for a closer view but it's a little blurry.

A bunch of people have asked me for things like prints so I think I might get a PayPal account or something to cover the costs of doing all that and see if people were just flattering me or if there's really an interest in my goofy stuff.

I started working on a kid's book today. The blurred out part of the picture below is the story outline. Most modern kids books are truly terrible and I'm pretty sure I could do a better job… And I hope that it would be something that Nefarious would value when it arrives in the mail at Rachel's place in Los Angeles (not that I even know her address!). The doodle has nothing to do with the book. It was just to amuse myself while Nefarious was eating breakfast.

The funny face on the right was drawn by her — I asked her why he was screaming and she said, “He's upset because his driver's license was taken away — he was sitting backwards and driving with his feet!”

I liked that explanation a lot.

Other than that, I got a robot today and my basement is suddenly not so insanely messy… I had a Roomba in the past and really liked it but Rachel's dog wrecked the old one. I've been working on (very slowly, I admit) getting this place cleaned up and a bit better organized. Ironic given that I'll probably move over the summer.
