I decided I’m tired of not being on Tumblr and I’m gonna start drawing things again.
I’m feeling a wide range of emotions.
Guys, I got a Cintiq! Hopefully that means more updates, and better ones, too. But mostly more, because right now I make, like, zero.
I got gifs and pictures comin’! I swear!
OH GOD! I won the IPAX scholarship! What a huge honor!
Sony Imageworks was all, “The Scholarship Selection Committee found your achievements exemplary and was especially impressed by your truly special talent and passion for film, effects, and animation.”
Huh, what? Me? Who?
THAT’S RIGHT.
So, last night I cranked out a quick submission for the Adventure Time t-shirt contest over at Mighty Fine. Finn should really forge a stronger friendship with Flambo. It’s worth all the spitting.
I’ve always wanted to hang out with these guys, but I think I’m doing more harm than good.
I just lost some followers.
Was it because I drew a One Direction picture? Of them falling off a cliff? Is that why you left? GOOD. I didn’t want you around here anyway.
I drew this because I had a story to tell. The story that I am not a fan of One Direction.

Hunson Abadeer is the vocalist in tonight’s AT-themed song. Every episode with Marceline’s dad suggests that he’s not as bad a guy as he seems at first. The Lord of Evil might really be The Lord of Not-So-Evil. I wondered how a full apology to Marceline might sound, and I imagined a whole scene for an episode; the audio post includes dialogue, a rap, and an apologetic ballad. There are loads of direct quotes and references to Ooo in the lyrics that true AT fans will enjoy. I dedicate this audio to my friend and fellow artist over at davidthejoyner. He suggested I write a song about Abadeer to pair with an epic GIF he’s working on. Keep your eyes peeled for his work, due to come out very soon. I also dedicate this song to these rad blogs with solid AT content: finn-theheroguy, advtimefanart, f***yeah-adventure-time, ohyeahadventuretime, lumping-righteousness, f***yeahkasumisty, and epik-adventure-time. Free downloads of this song are here, and you can stream it/like it YouTube here. Thanks for listening everyone and enjoy! — Kavalier Calm
Lord of Not-So-Evil
You know, Marceline, your friends are alright.
Their political rap was pretty great.
I bet I could write one! (Marceline looks shocked)
I’m Hunson Abadeer, Lord of Evil;
I rule over all of my sheeple.
I am Fear like Beemo is Camera.
I will make you pass a banana.
Visit me in The Nightosphere;
and you will never leave here. (HAHA)
But, really, Marceline, there’s something I need to tell you.
I’ve had enough of my tough guy, demon persona.
I may be deathless, but I’m not heartless.
I just want to be the dad I never had.
I want to suck out souls with you.
Trust me, Hot Dog Princess is so delicious;
she would have gone perfectly with your fries,
even though they were cold.
But that’s old news.
What I’m trying to say is:
I’m proud of you, and I want another chance.
If you don’t want to wear my amulet of chaotic evil,
I understand. Not everyone likes to wield sentient blood mist
in a cloud. And I like what you’ve done with the family axe.
I learned lute, too, to show you that I approve
of you and your friends, even though they knocked that sandwich
out of my hands.
CHORUS
Marceline, will you give me another chance?
Oh sna-ha-HAP. Dude wrote a song, and dedicated it TO ME!? OH SHIT.
Honored to my very core.
So, I started painting this out as a test for my new tablet and Photoshop CS6. With about 2 hours of random brushings into it, it’s just about done. I don’t paint as much as I’d like to. He has legs and junk too; this is just a clipping.
Still workin’ on dat gif.
