The Catalyst

If you've known me for any length of time, you probably know I like to draw. I really like to draw scary stuff. I don't know why, it's just fun to draw. That's probably why, when it comes to paleontology, I like dinosaurs. They're big and scary. I really like horror movies too, and for the same reason.

Anyway, if you have had class with me, you've probably seen me drawing some pretty creepy doodles in my notes. They're all actually part of a greater whole. You see, I have been tentatively working on an idea for a graphic novel for a few years, and the doodles are basically concept drawings for characters and creatures.

The reason I'm mentioning this, is that I may post some concept drawings and concept prose on the site. If anyone wants to let me know what they think, that would be great. If not, well at least I'm getting it down on a regular basis. The title of the graphic novel series is called "The Catalyst," and more will be made clear as I post further.

Notice

As I am hoping to make this a more general blog, and as I am hoping to do this for years to come, the topics here will probably go well beyond museum stuff most of the time. Do I think anyone will care? Probably not, but I figure most people write blogs to get their thoughts on "paper," so to speak. So I'll just write cause it's theraputic and kinda fun, and if anyone reads, that's cool. If not, that''s fine too.

The Countdown


Just two months and two days until Halloween. Start carving your pumpkins.

So it begins...

So I'm going to try this blog thing again, and what better time than when it's for class. I started one, a long time ago over at LiveJournal, but I haven't updated it in over a year. I'm going to really try this time, though. Try for one post a day from now on, and really try to come up with something to write. Fair warning to anybody from my class, though, as I'm probably going to write about really geeky stuff. Like Spider-Man and Transformers-level geeky. Oh, and I would also like to apologize for the wacky site name. I'm big into myths and folklore, so I picked the name of an apocryphal angel. See. I warned you it would be geeky.
