Sometimes the perfect project just falls into your lap.
For instance, my good friend Rae Winters–of the Arcadia Winters, naturally—came to me and said “Jared, I’m planning a Batman shoot for the “The Golden Age of Comics and Animation” show, at Brave New Worlds Comics. I’ve heard you have Bat-gear.”
Which I do. Scads of the stuff.
But this was such an excellent opportunity, I wanted to do make some new stuff. A big-eared Bob Kane style cowl paired with a more pulpy buttoned shirt. Luckily, time was with me, and was able to finish not only the Batsuit, but a sultry femme-fatale style Poison Ivy as well:
Excellent modeling done by Russell Collins and Jennifer Rodgers. More pictures over at Ms. Winter’s Flickr.
The costumes and the shoot turned out fantastic If you want to see a handful of these photos in person, not to mention work by other members of the Autumn Society, Brave New Worlds Comics is the place to be.
That’s where I’ll be.

When planning our wedding, the one place JR and I turned to over and over again—even more than my sketchbook—was Offbeat Bride. Offbeat bride is a collection of not only beautiful, unusual weddings, but beautiful unusual couples who were celebrating not just their love, but who they ARE. It was more than a place of inspiration. It was a place reassurance. When ever we thought our choices were too weird or untraditional, there was Offbeat Bride to tell us that frankly, we hadn’t even gotten started.
Would we have had the same wedding without Offbeat Bride? Probably. But I can tell you, we wouldn’t be near as confident about it.
Which is why it so awesome to be on the site today, and for something we wanted in our wedding from day one. A lot of things about our wedding changed as we planned, but we always wanted our wedding party in capes.
And Offbeat Bride once again reassures us that we made the right decision. Thanks, Ariel.

Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don’t change your clothes, don’t fix your hair - just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with the picture.
See, it looks like I’m hard at work, being stylish and knowledgeable, doesn’t it? That is a lie. I am actually at home sick. This picture, bed-head and all, was taken yesterday, when I was still more or less a functional, hard-working, truth-telling human being.
Today, all you get is lies. Lies and a possibly unnatural amount of Justice League Unlimited figures:
