buggery | Photoshop and I are old friends.

After many, many months, I have replaced one of my oldest icons, the one that's an actual photo of me, with an updated photo-of-me icon. That's it there, with me smirking over my shoulder, and the photo was taken less than two weeks ago -- the old, I'm-not-picking-my-nose-no-really photo was ten years old. (Though I look much the same now as I did then.) The new photo also shows off my new, Munch-ified (polarised lenses) glasses. And it retains the same "jack me" keyword, because sometimes I'm just twelve.

I also have a new default icon. Really, it was just a matter of time before the perversity of Batman #10 showed up in my icon set.

The only manipping involved there was taking the text from one of little Dick's speech bubbles in the preceding panel and adding a little bubble within the area shown in the icon to contain his affronted "Owoo!" -- well, and changing the eye-hurting orange background to green. Yes, this was the issue in which Bruce woke Dick by pulling him out of his bed, laying him over Bruce's knees, and gleefully spanked him. It's on

scans_daily somewhere, in case you missed it. At some point I'll probably incorporate this icon into my "Delightful Crack" one, but for now Dick's four-star ass stands alone.

My Mandy icon (from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, formerly Grim & Evil), the previous default, is taking a vacation. You can still visit her here, though. Aww. So grim!

I also made icons for a couple of other people, but I'll let them show those off. Or hide them away in the back of a drawer.

A few weeks ago, Te wrote "But Yet So Irresistible," a story in which Bruce and Tim are kinky. Together. And also with the Batmobile.

What follows is not so much an illustration for that story, as inspired by it. I can certainly picture Tim doing this...
