It's Not Perfect: The Hyrdrox Ransom

After a short hiatus, my wrist is back in action.

The Healing Begins

Turns out making all those animations MAY have been straining my wrist... that and I grew up AOLin' and LOLin', if you know what mean. In any case my next animation will be slow going, but at least the healing has started. Hopefully more updates soon.

Save the Date

Instead of doing paper "save the date" cards for my upcoming June wedding, I made a little animation. I have posted it here for all to enjoy whether or not you are invited.

Another Trick Involving Staring at the Sun!

November was a truly special month, filled with animations and carpal tunnel syndrome. As a change of pace, I'll take a break from drawing and share a neat trick with you. You may remember, I have several neat tricks that involve staring at the sun, which can be found here and here. Eventually I will compile them into a complete encyclopedia, EJ Massa's Tricks That Involve Staring at the Sun, but for now I'll share some free tidbits here and there.

The Procedure: Go outside and begin to stare at the sun. Now start doing a traditional Choctaw Eagle Dance (the short version) and continue to stare at the sun. Once you are done you will notice that you are now clutching an ornate Native American peace pipe that has been freshly lit. Begin to smoke it. You may ask, "Hey is that opium inside the bowl of this pipe?" Just wait, take another hit of the pipe. "Ooooh..." That's right! It is opium! You will find that you are now in a field, and if you started off in a field, you'll be in a super field. A friendly zebra will approach you and ask "¿Dónde está el baño?" Don't worry, your brain is not melting, that's just Spanish, so feel free to ignore it. Offer the zebra your peace pipe. Now continue trading drags until dead. After several years, a small plant will grow from your remains. Guess what? It's a poppy plant! The poppies will spread until the whole field is blanketed with poppies. The ancestors of the zebra you shared a peace pipe with will feed on the poppies and become a tribe of Spanish-speaking, opium fiend zebras. The first kind in the world! Scientists will be shocked and amazed at the discovery and write about it in science journals. You will live on in the happiness of scientists and zebras forever. Great Job!
