Fan Art Friday by Douglas Keech
By Irma on January 30th, 2009Posted In: blog

You may recognize Doug from my comments for pretty much every strip. Doug’s been a loyal fan for quite some time now and today I have a fan art from him to show you! The no fingers thing makes me laugh becasue MAN do I hate drawing hands. I practice and practice and practice and they STILL make me crazy. Why are fingers so hard to draw? GAH!
Anyway, make sure to stop by Doug’s comic, FakeLife. Thank you so much Doug!
I would LOVE to have more fan art! Are you interested in making me a fan art and being featured on Friday Fan Art? Then just read the simple rules here, and get to work!
So how flippin’ cool is this, right? The unbelievably talented David Reddick of Legend of Bill, Gene’s Journal, Rod & Barry (and Garfield!), and who I’ve pimped plenty of times here on this site, has made little ‘ole me a fanart! Well, we’re both Tall Tale Features, so maybe I shouldn’t knock myself SO much lower than him
He did a freggin’ awesome job, didn’t he? I ADORE IT!!! I’m not too sure what Jay thinks about Imy holding his guitar here though… But, jeebus, how cool is ‘Imy’ when Reddickized? I won’t be able to stop looking at this all day. Thank you SO MUCH DAVID!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Go give David some love. He’s a really cool guy, a HUGE inspiration, and I’m honored to call him my friend.

So, I’m still feeling pretty crap. But at least the fever has passed. It’s now been exchanged for a cough that hurts so badly I want to cry. I think I’d rather have that fever back
It’s still very hard for me to sit at the computer (so that update isn’t happening. Everything will be back to normal on Monday), and I’m dying to go crawl into my bed right now, but I couldn’t possibly miss announcing this!

A while back a bunch of guys who make my favorite comics online decided to get together and form a collective. One with the goal of promotion and pushing each other to do better and keep active. The amount of talent among all of them is almost too much to bear, and one could only dream of being considered as “one of them.”
Well, last week I got an email from them asking if I’d like to join them. I promise you, when I read that email I LEAPT off my chair and skipped around the room. Cross my heart. OH. HELL. YES. And so, “Imy” is now officially a Tall Tale Feature!
I can’t even begin to tell you what a huge honor this is! I still can’t fathom that they want me to be a part of their collective. It’s like finally being accepted with the cool kids
And it only helps to inspire me and push even more! (which is why it’s SO EMBARRASSING to have had to miss an update on the announcing day!). I will do whatever it takes to continue prove myself worthy. This is just FAR too cool!
We all blog on the TTF site, so you should check that out, and I’ll make sure to let you know when I’ve posted something. Also, I now have a forum! It’s at the bottom of the TTF Forum right heah! And you should make sure to keep an eye on the Tall Tale Features site for some cool stuff within the next week or so!
Now I ask… no DEMAND… that you guys go to my links section int he sidebar and visit all the Tall Tale Features. I’m sure many of you have come across some of those before. And you’ll see why I sit here pinching myself over and over again making sure this isn’t some NyQuil induced dream!
I haven’t been sick like this for a long time. I’m never bedridden when I sick. I only suffer from a cough, usually. But I really feel like a train has run me over. I thought i felt bad this morning, I feel a thousand times worse now. And I have a fever! I NEVER get a fever! It’s been 14 years since the last one. I’m going to get a cold compress for my head and take more Alvedon (equivalent to Tylenol). I can’t even really look at the screen. I started the comic but can’t finish. I’m sorry and feel terrible about it. I’m hoping this fever breaks overnight and I’ll be in better shape to do it tomorrow. I’ll post again tomorrow if it’ll be able to go up. I always work through being sick on my comic, but I just can’t do it today.
So this is one I promised a LONG time ago, and now I’ve finally done it! Remember that drawing I did in pencil and ink, which I then colored digitally? Yup. That one! It’s now available as a wallpaper.
You’ll find it at the top of the Goodies page!
