But his was a long well-lived life.
The best kind of impact.
So much beautiful work and art.
Thank you, Leonard Nimoy.
I raise my eyebrow to you, sir!

Maybe immortal?
Surprise surprise, a Junsu post.
Two teasers in the last few days.
The first:
The second:
So aside from the general screaming and utter delight... I'm making some guesses as to what the concept is. Of course, it could just be purely aesthetic choices, but I think there is a thread here related to some of Junsu's recent interests. I believe his performance as Dracula is the key.
Considering that, I'm wondering if it is a Man from Earth kind of narrative. Junsu is an immortal character. He's living through many eras as a tribal 'caveman', a gladiator, a wealthy figure/aristocrat in a robot apocalypse... and possibly with his own little horde of minions who do his bidding in each of these periods.
It would be extremely cool if it's something along those lines. Could be something else entirely and that would be equally cool. That's just going to be my prediction for now.
That audio clip gives me chills every time.
I'm so damn excited about this thing it cannot properly be verbalized.

A quick one...
FINGER STATUS:
Back to the usual hints of pink. Even the thumb scar might disappear completely.
Getting back to drawing this week. Woo!
And in other wonderful news...
TABLO AND JUNSU.
MY JOY IS INEXPRESSIBLE.
INEXPRESSIBLE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A WORD.
WELL, IT IS NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.
There are a number of people on the list of dream Junsu collaborators, but the top of said list looks like this:
- Junsu and Hyukjae
- Junsu and Tablo
- Other people...
Considering that Hyukjae will likely be impossible until he leaves SME, Tablo is the number one choice of all possible dream collabos.
They "collabed" back in 2007-ish for the Samsung Anyband commercial stuff along with BoA and Jin Bora. Surely none of them had much creative control about the project other than Tablo writing his own lyrics (I assume). Anyway, I've always wanted a DBSK/Epik High collab... or a JYJ/Epik High collab more recently, but DUDE, I WILL TOTALLY TAKE TABLO/JUNSU.
I'LL TAKE THAT ALL DAY LONG.
We have a few preliminary teaser images for Junsu's album to be released March 3rd. Also the tracklist. Also a few details. Naul and Dok2 are listed as other collaborators (OMG NAUL). We've been told it will be a 'huge transformation' somehow. Diverse genres is a guarantee. Ballads and R&B and dance pop... And the title track 'Flower' is the one with Tablo.
Supposedly, Flower is 'baroque hip-hop' with strings AND a choir AND Tablo AND Jung Sun-ah of Mozart/Dracula fame. I don't know wtf baroque hip-hop will be, but I'm down for that, whatever it is. Tablo is fucking Tablo. And Sun-ah is a super talented babe with a voice that thrills me.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.
THIS ALBUM MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL ME.

Cutting corners...
The post previous to the JYJ post was very hopeful finger-wise.
I prepared some prints over the next week, which forced me to use my hand for some technical things and signing. I noticed my fingers were a bit irritated, so I took it easy again.
Then my dad asked me to teach him how to use the mat-cutter so he could frame something for my mom. Cool. I talked him through it. At one point I wanted to wipe the handle for one of the blades to make sure there was no shmutz. For the first time in my life I cut a corner in regards to sharp things. I don't like sharp things. They freak me out. I've had some bad experiences with needles/broken glass, which were out of my control. Spending most of my 28 years doing art things, I've had a multitude of opportunities to take the many exacto blades, razors, stencil-cutters, etching tools, clay tools, etc... for granted. But I never have, because (((shudder))).
Until this moment. Probably because my dad makes me nervous. Instead of removing the blade before wiping the handle (as I have done a dozen times), I left it intact. I'd be careful as always.
Regrets.
Lol.
Cutting corners... I nearly cut the corner off my thumb. *facepalm*
It wasn't that bad. Just a clean 3/4 inch slice. Not deep. But, ya know, panic attacks are a thing. So I spent the next 30 minutes lying on the ground, trying to keep my anxiety under some semblance of control, and keep a paper towel firmly clamped on my thumb. And even though it has been weeks and my thumb has beautifully knitted itself back together, it's making me anxious just writing this.
I am a really fucking anxious person.
Clearly.
Calm yo tits, girl!
Kinda fun.
Maybe I'll do more quick sketches in the future.
Well, managing viable finger time might delay that for a long while. Lol.
It would be cool to see what I could make with it.
Alright. Better stop before typing makes my fingers angry again.
PS.
Je suis... intolerant of religious bullshit.
Fuck the shitheads who thought they needed to protect their imaginary prophet from ink and pencils with sub-machine guns and RPGs.
And fuck the Pope for suggesting that insulting faith is unacceptable.
Take us out, Tim!

FINGER STATUS: (January 3rd)
I took these pictures (with my tablet) about a week after the thumb incident, so it looks great already. As often happens after a big blowup, I compensate for the raw painful areas by using unusual parts of my fingers to do normal daily business things, which have potential to blow up too if I'm not careful. Well, all probably would have been well if I hadn't tried to cut my thumb off. The vice grip I held it with was the final straw. My thumb swelled up huge, more than for just the slicing trauma. And all those compensating spots blew up. So I had a nice little relapse.
As of now, a couple weeks later, all of my fingers look really good. gentle pinks instead of angry purpling reds. All the swelling is down. I'm tempted to draw again still. But I'm trying to not be stupid. I don't want another setback.
Patience.
Gonna keep this quick. One more image. I love my tablet. It's everything I wanted it to be.
The new responsive KPOPPY.com went up. The tablet was a huge help with that... and continues to be.
It has a little drawing program called Dabbler. A few days after I got the tablet I fussed around with it a bit to see what it was like. Haven't done any more because... fingers. But this was 10 minutes of screwing around...
Maybe I'll do more quick sketches in the future.
