Description
(full title: your touch, like ten thousand spiders on my skin)I think illustrating this was more traumatising than the moment that inspired it. Gah. Spiders. eVil, eVil things.

You and my beloved both hate spiders

I had many many flies, then I had many many spiders. Then the flies were gone. I like spiders though they still give me a start.
I love this, I can feel them on the tips of my fingers just looking at it!

Ever since someone on the Wigu board said that spiders are "reincarnated serial killers", I've believed it must be so.
I admire the way you can switch between your different styles with such (ostensible) ease, like an Awesome Butterfly.
You should front an all-girl punk band called Awesome Butterfly.

[laughing] I've never read the Wigu forum. That's awesome.
I don't really find it difficult to switch between styles. When I have a new idea, the style is always set in my head right off the bat, so it's not like I sit there hemming and hawing over how to do it. It's like a switch turns on, or something.
I don't know if that makes any sense.
Awesome Butterfly is maybe the perfect name for an all girl punk band.

Thank you!
(I don't mind (and even like some) other bugs, but I could live without most of them crawling all over me too. But spiders? The only way I can even (knowingly) be in the same as a spider is when someone is there killing it for me. I have to watch it happen, or my nerves won't calm. [heh])

I'll admit that webs are interesting and beautiful, but spiders are eVil little beasties that are all out to get me.

Heheh!
I s'pose it's one of those ingrained, irrational fears humans are prone to get.
Deep water ruins my day.

yay spiders!
If I wasn't a vampire, I'd probably be transmuted into a spider what with all the venom i've been injected with over the years.
spidey's are fun.
I'll come and visit and bring you one to play with
