Get this blog out of your mouth. You don’t know where it’s been.
I named myself after my favorite fairy tale, which at first seems simple and kind of stupid. But you could build a scary Eastern European cathedral out of the skeleton of Puss in Boots. It’s solid.
It’s about being the little guy, and using the hubris of those who can crush you to convince them to destroy themselves instead. It’s about letting others underestimate you for your own profit. It’s about accepting that all the odds are stacked against you, that you have nothing but your wits, and deciding those are enough to win. And it’s about achieving what’s good for everyone without being a martyr.
Though I sign my art and my site with Puss in Boots, my real name is C0r1n Sän Inman. (I paid $70 for it. I had a lot of reasons, but mostly I wanted to be sure I couldn’t take myself seriously. Nothing humbles me quite like having to spell out a name that sounds like a Quake handle.) You can call me “C0r1″ or “Sän” if you can figure out how to pronounce them, and “Inman” or “Puss in Boots” if you can’t.
This blog is image intensive, because I make extensive use of my digital camera and my ability to draw ugly cartoons, and even extensiver use of my ability to mangle the English language and make it globally accessible. Some day, if things go how I plan, I’ll be able to publicly mangle more languages and draw even uglier cartoons. And I’ll be able to take snapshots of my dreams so you know what it looks like to feed a loogie the size of my fist to a koi the size of my whole leg.
Thanks for reading! And if you don’t suck, thanks for commenting, too.
