Really, I am going to do the dishes. In a minute.

I've had time off since Friday and my long weekend isn't over yet: XXL, baby! I'll try not to spam my flist, but there will be at least one more post later, because today is the day I'm revealing my first set of artwork for this year's Reverse Bang. I've been coding for the past two days and now that I'm ready I've reached that point where I doubt EVERYTHING. So I suppose it's best if I step away from the computer and go do some chores that I saved up for the occassion, starting with the dirty dishes.
I also have to catch up with CSI: I'm two episodes behind and that just won't do! Then I will work on the final part of classic Nick/Greg scenes in S10Ep09 Appendicitement [part 1 / part 2].

I was going to get up out of my computerchair, I just couldn't resist doing one final check of my Tumblr dash and then I stumbled upon the Ed Byrne tag in FuckYeahBritishComedy and now I'm rolling around in those awesome gifs and I don't want to goooooooooo. Nerdporn FTW \o/
ETA: Oh no, now I've found David Mitchell. Somebody send help! (Or possibly join me?)

Artwork for ReverseBang 2012 [The First]

Since I was already inspired to be more creative by last year's edition of Gishwhes, I didn't mind not having time to join in this time around. Instead I worked on a new arts & crafts experiment for the 2012 spn_reversebang challenge! (In a Reverse Bang artists make fan-art which is posted anonymously for authors to choose as inspiration for fanfiction.) After my artwork adventure with clay, this time I decided to work with paper. No pencils or other additional media, just paper. DUNDUNDUN....

The prompt I made was a papercollage portrait of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a baker surrounded by cupcakes, titled MMMorgan's. (Entry #2009)

My sketch was picked by the marvelous bertee. I had indicated in my notes that the author could decide on the pairing and as it turned out we both liked Jeff best with Jensen \o/ While Bertee was writing, I fiddled with Jeff a bit more and I made an additional portrait of Jensen and other artwork to go with the story. Now we can finally present the result of our collaboration:
