Wild Banshee Indians

Whenever my brother and I would run around like crazy people, our Mother would say, "You two are like a pack of wild banshee Indians." The Internets say, "A banshee Indian is an Indian mythical female spirit whose wailing or appearance warns a family that one of them will soon die. Before a death occurs, the Indian banshee will go wailing and clapping hands: if the death is of a holy person, a whole chorus of banshees will wail." Ok fine, I believe everything I read on the Internets. I don't think my Mom seriously thought my brother and I were harbingers of death, at least I hope not. I suspect what she was on about was the sounds we were probably making. When you are a kid these sounds are normal, but when you grow up and have children of your own - well then you know exactly what kind of Hell your own parents lived through. What does any of this have to do with Eve? The whole idea of "wild banshee indians", not the actual historical words, ...

The 100 Club

Back in January 2022 I wrote a post entitled "The 100 Club" in which I discussed the ships I've flown that have registered at least 100 kills. Back then that number stood at 22 total ships and I wondered if it would be possible to ever get that number to 100. Well that final result may never happen, but I am pleased to report that almost two years later the number now stands at 35 ships with at least 100 kills registered. With an additional 10 ships with 80 or more. Which is getting closer to an almost magical sounding halfway mark. As I said back in 2022 this means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. People often misunderstand me when I talk about zKill. I don't play Eve for some sort of bragging rights, or to watch numbers change, or to spend fruitless time worrying over rankings, or records. If I cared about such things I would never, ever host so many FFA events and let myself be killed so often during them. I figure almost a full one-third of my ...

Ikitursa Art Print

Now available over at rixxjavix.com The Ikitursa has been the single most requested piece all year, I've gotten dozens of requests for a piece on this ship and I decided to go for it. I've been taking a short break from these ever since I finished up on the Board Game project - doing 500+ illustrations will do that to a person. (Plus, I'm not even technically finished yet, I keep getting pulled back in for additional work!) But I'm starting to get inspired again and I think the break did me some real good. Working on the board game really pushed me in a lot of new directions and allowed me to explore some new areas in my work. Mostly it gave me some much needed confidence in those areas and showed me that I can indeed push myself harder than I realized. It is all too easy to fall into a rut and keep doing the same things over and over again, but sometimes we just need to challenge ourselves and try new things. Not that this Ikitursa piece is anything extremely new in...

RedBubble Returns

I've re-launched my RedBubble store this weekend, just in time for the Holidays. I'll be adding more and more items for sale here this week, so be sure to bookmark the site and check back often. I'll be bringing back some of the previous classics as well as adding some new designs - along with some non-eve related works in the coming months. I'm excited to bring the store back after a long hiatus and hope you will enjoy it as well. The RedBubble store will not be featuring any Eve IP obviously, that is the domain of my Rixx Store and that is only for illustration works. So that is why my RedBubble store at the moment contains mostly Stay Frosty and ABA merch. But that will be changing and expanding over time. Anyway, that is my weekend update. I will leave you with this video from yesterday featuring our Country Crow Roam that was filmed by my good friend Vincent and which features two of the better fights we got ourselves into. Have a great weekend.

Handmade | Behind The Scenes

So I'm minding my own business this morning and I see that someone has replied to one of my posts over on Just About. I won't mention any names here, but they had written in a previous post that their five year old son had become enamored of my Alliance Tournament video from 2021, "Handmade" in which I filmed several Eve spaceship models in my basement and my wife and I did the Pew Pew sound-effects for. Which is, in my own humble opinion, the greatest AT ad ever created. Anyway, he was wondering if I had any behind the scenes video of the making of the video. Well, not exactly. The entire thing was created in a flurry of stress one weekend with me desperate to hit the deadline for submission. So, not a lot of thought was given to history at the time. But what I did have was a lot of un-edited footage and a rough cut edit that no one had ever seen before. So I thought, why not put that all together into a video? Might be interesting for his son and maybe even a few...
