Giglamps rambles

    Starting as I mean to go on with more seals and here's the latest addition to the herd, it's Stoner Steve! He was a bit worse for wear when I got him but he's been cleaned, and he's currently drying off on the windowsill, in the sunshine, with the dehumidifier nearby for good measure, and he's good as new. Maybe he's just world-weary and hangdog, but where my brain immediately went is "Bloody hell, this lad has been on some fuckin' good gear!" Now onto the point of the post; there was recently a thread on ComicFury about abandoned concepts for comics, and while putting together a post for that, something clicked in my head regarding Wade in the Flood which was "Oh shit, I've cut way too much out of this story." On one hand, I was going for a minimalist vibe but there's a difference between minimal and empty. To my mind, an effective stripped-down narrative suggests a glimpse of something where it feels like there's much...

  Technical difficulties aside (but for the record, Blogger's post editor is also being a colossal cunt right now), we have more photoposting for today, and I went for an aimless wander under some cloudy skies, just to get out and about for a bit, because I get cabin fever at the drop of a hat most days. It's on this wander that I noticed this office building, Sovereign Court, appears to have fallen into disuse, and disrepair. It's something that I've always taken for granted, that things went on in this building, but clearly fuck all is happening with it at the minute and it's getting pretty tatty to boot.   Looking up this bit at the side here, it doesn't look too bad...  ... but at ground level, it's another story.   This bashed-in shutter 'ere - what is this, reserved parking for a Resident Evil boss?! Note the tantalising door hanging open in the distance...   A sign around the side looking worse for wear, among some pebbledashed* corduroy concrete...
