“We do have things in there that are meant to say ‘we like this band’”. And so the echoes of British pop music begin and to be fair you don’t have to look very far. Stephen Street, the producer of Blur for many years is drafted in and the clues continue with the lyrics and the subjects and ultimately the pose that The Kaiser Chiefs adopt.
This is the other main character from the untitled project, Jonathan Winthrop. After Winthrop’s invention shop, “The Suspension of Invention”, is burned to the ground by mysterious forces, Winthrop sets out to investigate those same unknown forces with one of his patrons, Cecily the Fairyskate. However, Winthrop doesn’t believe in the unknown forces.
The Suspension of Invention

It's called the suspension of invention because there is no such thing as the invented! Yes, I fear it is a comprehension of total misapprehension; a belief from an invisible incongruous dimension, because I ask, how can it be made, if it fails to exist? Inventions are the invented intentions of extremely demented head-ghouls who work by ghostly-dark. And head-ghouls are notoriously uncemented and mixed-up! No, no, no, trust me, they all are... That's why they hang in graveyards digging other people's thoughts. Yes, I know what I'm talking about! Flights of fancy simply can't exist, they never-ever will! That's ipso facto final! So what are we doing here you ask? Why we're inventing truth! You're not even listening... Now why on Earth did you just give me a kiss?
Yesterday I was killing time on RPG.net and stumbled across this thread.
The premise, for those of you not well schooled in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, is that in recent editions D&D has been putting some unlikely looking things among it’s weapon choices for player characters. These include things like:
The Orc Double Axe - Think of two axes joined butt to butt.
The Dire Flail - two spiked ball and chains joined butt to butt.
The Dwarven Urgrosh - an axe with a spear point comming out of the butt.
The author starts out posting a few examples of progressively less likely weapons that he’s made up, like these. And then people take the ball (and chain) and run with it.
So, being the ardent embelisher of trends that I am, I tried my own hand at a couple.
Having giving up the life of door-to-door message sales, I’m once again hanging with the Employment Mouse. I.E., rather than planning a triumphant return to the world of work any time soon, my job is now solely focusing on making movies. This is Cecily the Fairyskate, one of the main characters from the ever evolving and yet untitled project I’ve been working on. In addition to being obsessed with bicycle modification and repair, Cecily can’t fly even though she has wings.
The Illusion of Flight

You just don't know what you're talking about... Saying I can't fly... Saying I might as well give up dreams of wide Big Sky... Should I curl up and metaphorically die? ... Ho-Hum. ... Well first off, Big Sky is a place (IN YOUR FACE!). And for your information, it's a town down in Montana! And if a sky can be place, Then I'll elude your illusion with my spoked wheels flying in a bicycle race!
Initially the Corporate Art topic was intended to cover art works I’d actually done using found materials and stuff at work generally to spruce up the place. But procrastination beckoned, and now I’m getting back to it, but of course the digression must come first.
So today a little tangential story for yall. This falls more under the idea of “corporate art” I think loki probably suspected I was going to deal with when I mentioned the idea of these entries months ago.
From my experience, a more fitting title for this piece might have been:
But that seems a little on the long side so the original will have to suffice.
