Mice traps outside
I moved into a new apartment and the grounds are all very well maintained by oompah loompahs or invisible caretakers. Every thing is spotless. But this morning I noticed there are little green boxes dotted around outside to catch mice or rats. I think it’s unfair. Yeah you can kill every pest INSIDE the apartment block but is it right to kill them outside? In their own environment. It’s like arresting people before they commit the crimes in Minority Report.
I fucking hate rats and mice. I’m like a menopausal wuss when I see them. But neh, I think it’s weird to kill them outside. After clawing acres of greenery away to build houses we should leave them little tea party sets and top hats instead of poison.
Finally got down to some artwork last night and its like a weight off my shoulders. These lads are for a new Twisted Tales

Those drawings look the business man! Really impressed. As for killing mice inside or outside, tut tut. Humane traps for all!

Yeah they can’t be using humane traps outside can they? Where do you release them? Bring them up the mountains and let them go?
But I don’t really care about the cruelty to be honest. It’s just weird

I like the sample art Bob, great stuff as always. What’s the texture you’ve got on yer man in the second pic, did you just overlay a photo or is there some magic technique you’re using?

Oh, these are very good. Embrace the darkness. Love the brooding chief. There’s no worse feeling than not having drawn anything in a while. ’slike a dirty little itch that you can’t scratch, or having to go for a piss on a long car journey with no toilet stops.

Love the stern mug on the first guy. The tribal chief dude in the second is amazing as well, interesting design there.
Any idea what Prog this might be in?

Where would you release mice & rats caught in humane traps outside is a good point but then again as you said, it’s a little unfair trying to catch/kill them outside in the first place.
You could always give them to Trinity College . . .

Cheers fwends, Kyle yeah I dropped a texture over th king, I BANGED these out. 30 mins for all three I’d say
No idea what issue they’ll be appearing in though, there seems to be no fixed schedule and he just slots me in when he can.
Animal testing….I don’t know, there is a group called ProTest who advocates using animals.Though I suspect they just thought of the name first and thought of the issues later

Rats outside a building go inside that building for food.

ewoks on insects
October 15th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Fuck you they’re not ewoks. Neh, the chief does sort of look like one now that you say it

in all fairness,people live in the apartments so you can`t have those poisonous little fuckers scampering all around the place.
rat bastards….
speaking of rat bastards,did you happen to see the Budget,Bobby?
October 16th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Well then they should cull all the little knackers in my area too. Nah what happened in the budget? I stopped smoking so it doesn’t affect me

well,if you`ve stopped buying petrol and wine and EVERYTHING(cos VAT`s gone up now),travelling outside of Ireland,and don`t want a medical card when you`re older and don`t mind losing even more of your income(while everythings getting dearer),then it doesn`t affect you
but where do you live now,the northside?with all the illiterate Bohs fans?

Yeah Ireland is shit. Really is. I got a pay cut last month now the govment is taking more. Ah well what’s a girl to do?
