Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, and Strip Search

Yeesh, I'm seriously terrible about updating this blog.  Lately I've just had a lot to do, which means not much time for drawing personal stuff.  Hopefully that'll change soon.  Also, if you want to see new art more often, you can check my tumblr out- I post on there fairly regularly, although a lot of it is dumb stuff like post-it doodles and things like that.  Sometimes I post comics and fun stuff too, though.

Here's some of the stuff I've posted to my tumblr lately...also I've got a cool announcement at the bottom of this post, so don't miss it!  :]

From Game of Thrones, Catelyn Stark.


Robb Stark


Joffrey "Little Shit" Baratheon


...and the lovely Khaleesi!


Here's Arya...


...and here are some doodles of how I see Arya from the books, rather than the show.


Here's how Ygritte looks in my head.


These next ones are characters from Downton Abbey...a few of these were drawn without reference and I think they turned out to be the funnier ones.



Here's an example of the types of comics I sometimes post on tumblr (Sorry Adam).


Now for the fun stuff!  Tomorrow (Friday the 1st) the first episode of Strip Search will be up and ready to watch!  For those not in the know, it's a reality style web show for web comic artists that Mike and Jerry of Penny Arcade dreamed up, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.  I know it sounds crazy but it was a seriously fun experience. 



If you click the picture above it'll take you to the site, which is pretty fun even though the first episode isn't up yet (edit, the show is up now).  There's a trailer for the show, bios for each artist, and a couple interviews that are pretty hilarious/enlightening.


To end this post, above is a little drawing of my fellow artists/strippers/friends/competitors.  I love them all, so check out their comics!  I'll list them in the order that I drew them:

If any of you watch the show, let me know what you think!  :]

Women and children overboard

It's the  Catch-22  of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations,"  like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans."  Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that

Not a word was spoken (but many were learned)

Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. Alternatively, students who are not watching (the ones sitting with their backs to the screen) can be send out of the classroom and come up with a list of the questions to ask the 'watching group'. This works particularly well with action or crime scenes with
