The Imp & The Pimp, Part 1 of 10

Note: this story takes place during book/season two, A Clash of Kings. Minor spoiler alert for anyone who has yet to read the first book, or watch the first season. Enjoy!

Tyrion: "Ah, the Leaky Tankard In..."

 Tyrion: "As fine a place as any for a lad's 16th nameday!"

Joffrey: "It looks abhorrent. And why must we wear these rags? It smells like someone died in mine"

Tyrion: "That is likely the case, nephew. But the rags must be worn."

Tyrion: "You're the King now..."

 Tyrion: "...and the King must learn the ways of his subjects, the common man."

 Joffrey: "And you believe I'll gain this education..."

 Joffrey: "In a shit hole like this?"

 Tyrion: "If not an education, at least a good roll in the hay."

 Dog: *Yipe!*

The Imp & the Pimp

Last year, I transitioned from animation to the story department. To do so, I had to prepare a portfolio and since I hadn't assembled a portfolio since school, I had to create some new material. Now, I think of writing as a free vacation that I can take to any place, any time, with any characters. So, naturally, I chose to visit Westeros with my two favorite characters: Joffrey and Tyrion Lannister.

I'll be sharing a segment of my boards every Wednesday, concluding March 13th on the Season Three premiere. Check back tomorrow for the first installment of...

Fantasy Football, College Edition: Notre Dame vs Alabama

At Christmas, I promised my cousin Jennifer and her husband (both Notre Dame grads) that I would do a special college edition of Fantasy Football to commemorate the team's first championship game since 1988. Little did we know, the drawing would also commemorate a total trouncing.

Apparently, the luck of the Irish can occasionally run dry.

Fantasy Football XX: Bengals vs Texans

Chuck Norris does not go hunting, because the word "hunt" infers the possibility of failure. No, Chuck Norris goes killing.

The Pop Pilgrim

Happy birthday to my good buddy, Everett Downing! His blog, 365 Supers, got a fantastic write-up in Wired this week, so I figured I'd contribute a portrait of his superhero persona for his birthday. Pop Pilgrim is a reference to Everett's penchant for finding a new favorite tv show or technology every week. He's on a constant pilgrimage through pop culture. Plus, he wears buckles on his shoes and hat.

The 2013 Translation

A new year means a new 'do for the blog! The four guidelines for a decent blog banner are 1) Make it up-lifting. 2) Make it colorful. 3) The title needs to be clear and legible, and 4) Avoid fart jokes. Like I said: they're not rules, they're just guidelines.

Thanks for continuing to stop by and leaving comments; I've got lots of mischief and mayhem in the works for 2013 and beyond, so stay tuned!
