Art is always about communicating ideas. As a cartoonist, my primary choice of communication are the pictures I draw. As an illustrator, I love to take ideas from others and run with them and hopefully take them places the writer never dreamed of. I think that's one reason why I find blogging to be such an effort - it's a words medium. If I had time, I think I'd be better off drawing a comic strip to get these thoughts across, but then... that's a big 'if' and I'd rather spend my time doing other things with it.

One of those things is my Ustream. Tonight I get to slip back into my regular time slot of 8pm ET and I hope you'll be around to join me because I'm hoping for your feedback. I love being able to connect with everyone and thank you for being readers. Being the kind of personality I am, I'm also always looking for ways to improve the broadcast so it remains as fun and entertaining as possible as well. A couple of the ideas I've had I'll be running past people tonight and holding out for discussion. Things like devoting a 'regular' segment of time to doing celebrity caricature and creating wallpapers for LICD and LFG.

The other idea I would love input on is next week's broadcast. Why next week? Well because it's the night before Hallowe'en!! Now, I know a lot of you probably already have plans for a Friday night but bear with me. I think it's a great time to have a *theme* night on Ustream and I'm going to ask for suggestions on what I should be drawing. Should it be a 'how to'? Zombies? Monsters? Vampires? A Hallowe'en pin up of a ghoulish gal? Caricatures of Hallowe'en personalities? A couple different projects or one big one? Should I just keep my mouth shut and draw?

The best ways to let me know your thoughts are right here in this thread, messaging me on twitter (@lartist) or by joining the chatroom tonight during my Ustream. I hope to see you there

Yay for Halloween the bestest time of the year.
I would love love love if you did some new wallpapers. I do so enjoy those.

I personally would love to see Richard trying to dress up as Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas (maybe trying to wear Jack :shurg:). Two of my favorite characters in one pic. :sighs: Yep it would be lovely. lol.

I look forward to the ustream. :hugs:

Edit: After talking on ustream I decided I would love to see a Nightmare Before Christmas Theme or a Tim Burton character theme.

I'd like to see Richard as Dick Dastardly. And maybe Felbunny as Muttley.

OK, I am new here. What is LICD?

Least I Could Do, Sohmer and Lar's other comic.

Love the Lartist At Work shows. Really glad you guys are giving us a chance to see the shows if we miss them live. You're like the Bob Ross of this generation. Just instead of Happy little trees you have Richard and Rayne. And instead of the white man afro you have the superbeard thing going.

Please keep up the great work.

This is a great idea!
I'd love to see the cast of LICD and LFG do the dance from MJ's "thriller" *nods lots*
