Tweet Is To Twitter As Twit Is To Tweeter

The Small and Big Amiglia-maticNope, twit is to Twitter as tweet is to Tweeter.

How come when you use Twitter you’re said to be posting tweets? Ahem, wouldn’t that be (see above)? And doesn’t that make six million people, plus myself, twits?

Not sure, but I think a "tweeter" is actually something. Doesn't it belong with a "woofer"?

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
