Request Lines Are Now Open!

Since I've been out of commission for a while, I'm momentum-free at the moment. And now that my brain is solidifying again from the bed-rest-induced tapioca of the last few months, I can think about things for a little while. Now I'm thinking this: what's next?

I have a couple of things in the to-do pile (don't worry, Las Masugas, Clive, and Chrisa), but beyond those it will be time for The New Batch. I have a passel of half-formed ideas in my El Rey folder, but I want to take the pulse of the people, here.

What do you think I should do next? I mean this both format-wise and subject-wise.

Format-wise, the krylographs are by far the most popular thing I do (though the t-shirts are catching up). I probably won't spend a lot of time on small prints except for personal satisfaction, as they are relatively unloved, but I might try some bigger ones. The paper paintings just got started, so there's not much data there yet. Canvases an paintings on wood continue to accumulate on the walls of HQ. And if I get a particular bug to make, say, a stack of pics on discarded plywood, I'm too much of an instant-gratification creature not to. But is there some El Rey delivery format you want that you haven't seen from me? I mean mainly original artworks, but merchandise (kitchen magnets?) requests are welcome, too. What do youse want?

Subject-wise, the animals will continue apace, likely into the more obscure and odd mammal branches of the scientific tree. Is there something else you've been dying to see done up El Rey stylee?

(I will likely not take on a spate of picture-of-my-most-adorable-pet commissions, for the record. Unless stacks of bills are thrown at me, of course. I'm deranged, not stupid.)

Now's the time to spit it out, before my brain gets all full up of the usual backlog of visual gibberish!

As always, thanks.

Yes. We can't wait for our Ziptych. Look how lonely Marie looks in front of the Green Wall. The Green Wall is crying out for the Ziptych. Glad to hear you're back on your feet and gaining momentum.

I think maybe you might want to explore machines. Maybe machines that replace animals. Does this make sense? Organically-shaped machines that perform the same functions as animals, except the being cute part. Not robot animals, per se. And not Dr. Seuss machines.

I trust that if you like this idea, you will el Reify it in a charming manner.

Poor bereft Marie.

Sir Braine, I'm not sure I follow you. How could they not be robots?

It might be a more personal vision than I am able to convey.
