Welcome to my updated site! I was going to upload the whole thing in one whole fell swoop-but I’m needing to make sure things work here and there-so some sections will be under construction for a little bit while I’m still working it out. So right now, the front, digital, graphic, and comics have pages-but not all the links will go through just yet. I’m building it brick by brick. Feel free to contact me at michellemaukATgmail.com with any comments! The contact page is coming soon! Sorry about the dust as I work on it!

The vampire they never show…
I always wonder why I never see this vampire in movies. 
VM page 41 Update! Thus begins the break.
And with this page VM will go on a short break. (Shorter if I don’t want the short story to become a pain.) I really love doing VM, but I want to get ahead with it. I also put myself in another project, so while I’m working to finish that up, I have to put up the short story. Hopefully I can get it all together. I wish I had more time to stay at home and draw, but life (and finances) don’t really work that way. So it is.
I saw Pirates 3. I liked it! It was long, (very long, I was shaking by the end because of a huge soda I drank during it), but it was really entertaining. I’m pissed though. I heard there is an additional scene after the credits. Those credits were massive! Think about how many people it takes to make a $200 million dollar movie, and throw those at the end of a 3 hour movie and THEN put a scene that helps tie things together (or so I’ve heard)?!!!! How irritating! Well, hopefully someone will spoil and reveal what was in that scene, because I’m not paying $14 to sit through that thing again and wait to see a short 5 minute scene. Goodness. So if you know, tell me, PLEASE.
Okay, bed time.
*EDIT* Okay, I found out what happened. I get it, sort of. But I’m still irritated that I missed it. The whole beginning makes sense now, though.
Killer Bunny and Reading Fundamentals-Vectors.
Two new vectors today. Number one is a simple killer bunny. Who did the bunny just kill? I don’t know, but he doesn’t seem terribly insincere about it. Number two is my unsolicited contribution for the youth of today. Yes, read. READ! One of my pet peeves is when someone complains about not understanding or not knowing something. We live in an age where you can wikipedia it, or google it, or look it up. I am a huge reader, and I think fundamentally, it exercises your brain in ways that learning it on tv doesn’t do. There’s something about physically having to move your eyes across a page, processing the letters and shapes in words and phrases, and concocting an image in your head. I always love reading history books, then looking up people to see if they look similar to how I envision them. It’s weird, I’m not old, but when I was younger, all of my research papers and assignments meant trips to the library, and I would check out mounds of books, reading the choose my own adventure stories, the complete OZ series, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, and getting books on spiders and lizards and horses and so on at the same time. Now, you can just flip on your computer, type it in, and it’s all pulled up for you. I mean, even the SAT has gone electronic. You can now buy a pocket study aid that you can carry around with you (like an electronic flashcard), do practice questions and tests on. I think I would’ve been a much better test taker with that. I certainly hope technology doesn’t outdate or outmode the book. I know it’s killing the newspaper right now, but I hope that won’t be the case in the future.
Kids With Robots Four: C.A.T
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these. This is number four in my little “kids with robots” series. This is the C.A.T. robot, which is the “Cellular and Transmission” robot. So this is the communication pair of the robot series. So so far, robot one is a time robot, robot two is a militaristic robot, robot three is a storm robot, so robot four falls in as a communication robot. I drew the Kid and robot 5 sometime ago, but I haven’t colored it yet. I can’t remember what robot I gave him. I do these for fun, because they coloring style is actually a bit easier to do, and so they don’t take as long.
I saw Spiderman 3 today, and I pretty much agree with most of the reviews on it. #1. Long movie, not Harry Potter or LOTR long, but long enough. #2. There is like zilch chemistry between Mary Jane and Peter. #3. I shouldn’t have worried about the inconvenience factor of everyone having their masks off pretty much the whole freaking movie, because almost all of them *spoiler*, end up dying. Conveniently. So Spiderman’s identity is safe. Until he is unmasked in four for the entire film. #4. Venom is lame. He’s cheesy. #5. The emo Peter Parker is the best. It stops Tobey Maguire from sucking his face back and bulging out his eyes constantly. The eyeliner? Nice touch. #6. The whole half hour of sentimentality at the end. Really annoyingly overindulgent. #7. Gwen Stacy? I barely remember her at all, and I just saw the film today. #8. *spoiler* Thank god they got rid of Harry. If they carried his whiny butt into another film, and his weird goblin outfit that had NO goblin mask, which didn’t matter because it was constantly off ANYWAYS, I was going to shoot myself. #9. I love Bruce Campbell, no matter what. He’s just cool. And J. Jonah Jameson, seriously, he is just the funniest thing. The part where he has to take his pills for his heart, and his receptionist just picks on him? So funny. #10. Was it just me, or does Kirsten Dunst act like she’s just paying her dues, and that she has no excitement to be in this film?
Anyways, my hope is that in Spiderman Four (oh, you know there’s going to be one), is that they bring in a female villian. That would be rad. But I’m banking for sure on The Lizard (come on, they’ve had Dr. Connor in three films already), and I’m thinking The Scorpion. Maybe the Rhino? I don’t know, that could just be silly. I would REALLY like to see Mysterio, but I think he’d probably look really goofy in a live action. My fiancee wants Morbeus or the Man Wolf (which could work, considering that is J.Jonah’s son, and they’ve introduced him already). My least favorites: The Vulture, The Kingpin, and Electro. They could, which I hope they don’t, bring in Carnage, and that would just annoy me.
OKAY. Still feeling the red vines from the theatre. Time for bed.
