Sunday Morning
It’s counting down to the end of term and I really should be getting coursework done. So of course I’m working on Mary Tales.
With the publishing schedule I have planned (two Deputised Experts installments and one or two MTs a week) I have a DEx buffer of about nine weeks and enough Mary pin ups for five or six weeks. So I’ve turned to plans for the first story in Mary Tales. It’s going to be “Sunday Morning”, a decompressed celebration of relaxed weekend lovemaking.
I have learnt some tricks from the course. One of them is the beauty of layout paper for planning, so I’ll be running up a few quick drafts to work out the pacing etc before diving into illustrations. The first shot, though, is unlikely to change from the one I currently have envisioned (nudity alert for work surfers). I also have a master plan for producing the final images (Adobe geek alert)- take my Poser’d shots or sketches, do basic outlines in Photoshop, create work paths and transfer to Illustrator for cleaning up and colouring. The end result should be very different from the look and feel of Deputised Experts- bright and shiny and smooth, to complement the subject matter of love and sex.
Holy Cow!
The Visible Cow, a model made for the Canadian government. How very Hirst.

Sumerian statues, going cheap
The looting of the Baghdad Museum was a big story in the first weeks after the invasion, which died down as an inventory was taken. War fans used the reassessed numbers to belittle the story and pretend that nothing was stolen. But, a year on, it seems that they got this wrong as well.
No Batteries Required
The “Perfect” Raglan top now has the No Batteries Required version of the Perfect Sex Toy logo. I may lower the logo’s placement a little to give it a, erm, “headlight” location.
If you have other item’s of clothing you’d prefer it on, please tell me.
Crossing
I’ve mentioned the Gibbs Aquada before. Now it’s back in the news as Richard Branson intends to use one to break the record for an amphibious crossing of the English Channel.
She Comes Again
Salon has an interview with the author of She Comes First and creator of the Cunnilinguist’s Manifesto, which I mentioned yesterday.
