Welcome to the dashing personal tumblr of an equally dashing raconteur, famed alchemist and master lion tamer -- I enjoy collecting cursed inheritance, the smell of hammers half-buried in damp soil and filling description sidebars with ballsy lies. Expect danger, lulz, illustration, ADVENTURRRE (all-caps, three R's), comics and magnificent beards.

I based the colour palette of this theme on a picture of a cold cat. That's all you really need to know.

I Kill Giants is a comic. It is unusual and extremely good. I highly recommend it. God this hard, I yearn to gush at length about it and post all of the most beautiful spreads and unique inkwork and moments of genius — but it’s one of those rare gems where the more you absorb on your own the better it is. I won’t ruin it for you if you promise to go read it!

…I suppose a little info wouldn’t be considered ruining. Do me a favour and click for hi-res. This is Barbara. She’s in the fifth grade. She kills giants. And she doesn’t much care for motivational speakers getting in her face about ‘real careers’. No, she isn’t part rabbit — the rabbit ears are an expression of her weird, out-there personality. They change randomly to fox ears and teddy bear ears and are just there to give a fantastical element to the story. No one else ever mentions them. Ever wondered why so many cartoons are about talking animals? Expressive body bits like tails and ears and wings are so much more fun for artists than boring old eyebrows. HUMAN FACE, WHY ARE YOU SO BORING? (I Kill Giants 1)

Click for hi-res again if you please, to spare straining your lovely eyes. Oh, and yeah, Barbara is super fucking serious about killing giants, bro. Incidentally the principal she’s backsassing right now has an epic pompadour. I guess you’ll have to read the comic to see it. (I Kill Giants 1)
