Finally, my Humanoid has uploaded some beautiful pieces of artwork. As in me, of course.

Many months ago, HT got her timing right (this is very rare) and started following Chris Eliopoulos (Cartoonist i.e. Misery Loves Sherman) on Twitter in time to get a drawing done.  Since she was able to get anything drawn, naturally she chose me.

“Not that I had a choice, I really wanted to ask if he could draw a reflexology treatment.”

Boring and stop squinting.

“I can’t help it, it’s from all the ocular eye shots I’ve been taking lately. Anyone have any eye shots they’d like to share so my poor beady eyes can take a break?”

What happened to your last victim? I mean volunteer?

“They went blind.”

Ouch, I hope you have liability insurance. Back to my beautiful pictures, here is a sample of some from very gifted artists.

 anonymous (until we find out what he wants to be known as.  eL drawings today the Louvre tomorrow)

“I especially like these…
It captures one of my favorite fantasies.”

EVIL!! Now I’m going to tell you the Primeval spoiler…

“More eL pictures coming as we type. Have you seen her about? Let us know or drop your clean link in the comments below.”

How come you always get to say the legal mumbo jumbo?

“Now who’s sulking?”

Sidewalks, Sweets and Species

Welcome to eL’s new home. Have you browsed around yet? Thoroughly confused?  Here’s a few quick links to help you on your way.

Here’s a few pictures of our resident mutant ant. They weren’t drawn by a five year old, I checked three times, but my very own human translator.
“Hey, they look like a first-grade school project at least!”
More to come soon.

Eliza Leigh/eL:  Mutant Ant 

It’s truly all about her. 

Born in a dump in Miami, Fl she woke up one day transformed.  Although she was still an ant she could understand humans, picking up many languages easily. It wasn’t until she realized that she too could talk human did she decide to travel away from home and explore the great unknown.  Her voracious curiosity landed her in many a strange place and developed her sense of wonder.  Things human consider ordinary and mundane were unpolished gems to Eliza Leigh.  She travelled up the East Coast and eventually found a human (an easily manipulated one) who would spread her thoughts on all things. 

Sidewalks, sweets and species are her specialties.  

Humanoid Translator/HT: 

Blogger who questions her sanity.

This humanoid tries to remain objective and anonymous but here’s a few facts that have leaked out:

Female.  Works odd hours.  Possibly in a government or medical facility.  Was very concerned over mental wellness when eL followed her home and began a deep, long monologue on the future of the culture and way of life for the Aborigines in Australia. 

Since eL has been to stay Humanoid Translator has had to restock her pantry countless times, bought multiple ant traps and shared in some mundane but usually bizarre endeavors.

Beagle the Beagle: 

 A Dog

 

This gentle canine can speak and be spoken to, that is if you are a mutant ant.

Profile Pictures of Eliza Leigh and Human Translator are percolating as we speak.

“Why I like ‘evil eL’?”

I told you to put my picture on… Diva eL!

Here’s the two pictures we’re talking about.

The “creator” of this blog has been called many things and unique is just one of them.

C. McKane is a massage therapist, novice writer and like the fictional translator works nights.  She believes that being dropped on her head not only stunted her growth but effected her perception of the world.

Currently, C. McKane divides her time between a myriad of projects, work, annoying her family and terrorizing unsuspecting victims (all the while blaming a pesky mutant ant). 

---

She occasionally writes at her massage blog and is sharing her first NaNoWriMo experience over at Word Dabbler.
C. McKane is on Twitter as herself and as Opinionated Ant.

UPDATE:  Currently in school C.McKane has become more sleep deprived than ever which means, posting may be a bit sporadic and unintelligible.
