This is the new header image for the Chico and the Chupacabra site. The colors are all Mexicany. I am planning to animate it a little bit in the near future. It looks like candy to me. Click on the image.
Artistic Theology
I think of art as a form of worship. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Does it not make you feel good when somebody likes what you did so much that they just had to copy it? God probably felt pretty good when Michealangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Or when Van Gogh painted Starry Night.
Speaking of Van Gogh, I just bought a Vincent Van Gogh calendar. His paintings disturb me. But, in a good way. I have feelings when I view his paintings. I don’t know what the feelings are exactly, but they are feelings nonetheless. For instance, when I look at “Crown Imperial Fritillaries in a Copper Vase”, I feel dizzy. Or, for example, when I gaze upon “Morning: Going Out to Work (after Millet)”, I feel flabbergasted. And on occasion, while gazing at “Wheat Field with Cypresses”, I sometimes feel a little gassy. Not a particularly deep emotion, but a feeling, anyway.
I believe that he worshipped God through every painting that he did. Those of us who believe in God all have our own personal way to worship. Mine is through my art. I am imitating God by creating my own little world. Therefore, by imitating, I am flattering. Subsequently, by flattering, I am worshipping. Do I fear heavenly charges of copyright infringement? Naw. God doesn’t care about that. He wants me to copy Him. And besides, He doesn’t need any more money. After all, God is more than likely…richer than God!
Equivalencies
As I sit here, I keep asking myself one question…”If a picture is worth a thousand words, why should I bother with writing?”
The cartoon above is the result of such questions.
Success! (A Christmas Miracle!)
This is now a fully functional PayPal “Buy Now” button existing in the sidebar. Go ahead…give it a try! When you hover over it, it says, “Use PayPal to contribute!” When you click on it, you can choose the amount that you want to give. This button was created for tips and usage payments. For instance, let’s say that you just have to give me money because you thoroughly enjoyed your visit to Oddbox Comics. Click on the Chupacabra and write in the amount. Or perhaps you would like to use my art for your own purposes. After my approval, this is how you can pay!

Animated Chupacabra Button
Here is an animated “buy now” button. Eventually (hopefully), this will be placed in the sidebar to the right… all linked up and ready to take you somewhere else!

Zinger-Man is back! And in color! And with a vengeance, hopefully!
I was sitting around one day, and I started thinking, “I need to make more Zinger-Mans.” There was a possibility that this thought could have become just another one of my passing fancies, but, it wasn’t to be. The very next day I received an e-mail from the editor of the now defunct “Flint Comix”. He tells me that he is going to attempt a comeback. Flint Comix might not be as defunct as we thought. It would seem that he has forced my hand. I must make more Zinger-Mans…I must!
