Is her hand cold?


The image is a crop from a painting called "The girl and the ghost" by Mike Krahulik, aka Gabe from Penny Arcade.

It's his Deviant Art page that's been distracting me.

Sock Monkey Art.

I'm in love.

Hourly Comic

(This is the last two panels of the hourly comic for 2008.)

Today, John Campbell, creator of the enormously funny pictures for sad children, should have finished drawing this year's first Hourly Comic by now. (It'll be posted tomorrow. There's a 24 hour delay.) Here's his about this thing.

He started drawing comics for each hour he was awake during the month of January back in 2006.

Hourly Comic Day is on February 1st, and this is the day when we should all join in with John and draw at least one panel for each hour of that day we're awake.

"There are times when phrases such as 'totally astonished' just don't do the job," he said. "I am of course delighted and honoured and needless to say, flabbergasted."
