This work in progress isn't ready to be revealed, but here is a mysterious detail from the drawing:

Old plate, new print.

This is one of the first etchings I made, but I never documented a print and didn't keep any around, so last week I cleaned off the plate and pulled a new proof, this time with a slightly brownish ink.

Apathy Bird.

He doesn't even care that he's flat.

Awesome blog is tautologically awesome!

The blog looks better now. In fact, it is really more like a real-life grown-up website now. Its got a custom URL, no ads, a hand-crafted template and a clean, non-bloated navigation. Actually, I suppose that last part isn't necessarily true of grown-up sites. Have you seen Yahoo.com lately? YIKES.

Of course, it is not finished. There will be tweaking, and I still need to figure out how to get the portfolio section to work without giving the browser Tourrettes. In time...in time. If you're looking for old posts, you can find them in the page aptly labled 'ARCHIVE.' Sadly,  a search widget will likely never work with this blog. Blogspot royally screwed up that function in one of their 'optimizations.'  However, google.com still works perfectly if you remember your advanced search techniques. Did you know that you can limit your google search to a specific URL by prefacing your search with the "site:URL" term? Let's try it!

Say, for example, you really wish you could find that weird drawing of an 'ink monster' I did once, but you understandably have no idea which month of the archives to look under. Even if your memory was somehow that amazingly good, your journey would be stalled due to the fact that the archives sort posts by title and the 'ink monster' post is actually titled 'AARRGH.'

Try searching google for "site:www.ianonpaper.com ink monster" (lose the quotes) and you will shortly have your answer. 

Leave some feedback if you have an opinion. There is tweaking to be done.

Sketchbook Shrubbery.

Lots of lectures today, which meant lots of absent-minded doodling. My scribbles turned into a weird shrub. It's a sketchbook shrub. Shrubbisthmus Sketchimibit.

I'm still here.

Wow. First week of school was busy, and for more reasons than just school. I missed a few posts. Again. Does this sort of negligence even surprise ya'll anymore? Here is a drawing of a moon guy I did.
