A ma rika

It's snowing like a bitch over here. Awesome

Went to my brothers house the other day and watched Tokyo Zombie



Pretty kick ass movie and all. Would have been better if my brothers friends weren't making jokes the level of 5th grade humor. I do recommend watching it. It's supposed to be based of some manga or sommat, but the movie was good enough.

Got to do a few scribbles while I was on the plane. Drew an Inquisitor.That'll all have to wait till I get back to the other side to fix it up though. Having an awesome time here. Want to play in the snow, but it will be cold, so I'm having second thoughts = _=

Christmas is right around the corner. Omg.

Got another commission finished before vacation! I had a real good time doing this one.Did it for Mavu's Nicoli Leonetti



Tried a little something different when lining it. Think its all good and well.

I'm pretty sick at the moment. Horrible pressure under my eyes, and they fele like they're burning all the time. And my nose feels like crap.

D went off to her doggie hotel yesterday. Hope shes enjoying herself.

Anyway, off to the new year!

Lawl

So.

I decided I'll keep this. Since i have no use for the internet anymore, other than to check GAF, Geekologie, and my mail occationaly.

Been working on commissions lately, and been pretty happy with them. A good challange to draw something you wouldn't normally think up on your own.

Soren Cardeu for Signsonthewalls



Kazuo Kurihara for DemonLordOnigawa



I had a good time mashing them up in a story that takes place in the 1700's. Soren being a ritzy orphen (as of late) who enchants Kazuo who is a Onnagata for the theatre. Theres a third player but he'll have to wait a minute.

Anyway, Christmas is soon. I'm all pumped up! Can't wait to see the family. And my little sister, Shes so awesome. She just needs a little nudge (or a smack upside the head) from time to time.

Oh and also, Tom got me sherrif shades with the mirror lenses in them. I'm SO PIMP.

Pumpkin PIE!

Alright so, someone on y! wanted my pumpkin pie recipie ( from my gramma cause shes awesome) so I'm posting it up here cause its easy :0

PIE CRUST! (good enough to make 2 pies)

2/3 Cups(140 grams) - Shortning ( Or Lard/butter)
2 Cups - All Purpose Flour
1 - Teaspoon Salt
4 to 5 Tablespoons - Water

Cut shortning into flour and salt until particles are pea sized. Sprinkile in water, 1 table spoon at a time whilst beating with a fork. Continue to mix until all flour is moistened and pastry nearly clings to bowl.

Gather pastry into ball, cut in half, and save one half (for whatever your heart desires). Roll out pastry onto floured surface ( a flat one like a counter top or large cutting board). Roll it 2 inches larger than the over all size of your baking dish.

Fold pastry into fours (gently!) lift, and unfold into baking dish. Press firmly into baking dish. Make sure there is no air in the corners!

PUMKIN PIE FILLING!

2 - Eggs
small or medium sized Pumpkin. (should equal up to about 2 cups when pumpkin is mashed.
2/3 Cups - Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon - Salt
3/4 Teaspoon - Ground Cinnimon
1/4 Teaspoon - ground Ginger
1/8 Teaspoon - Ground Cloves
1 and 1/4 Cups - Evaporated milk.

Preheat your oven to about 350F ( abour 170-200C )

Cut about 2 pounds of pumpkin and peal. Clean seeds out. Cut into 1 inch square peices and add to boiling water. Cook until tender ( about 30 minuts) and drain. Mash pumpkin until no lumps remain.

Beat egs slightly and seperate from pumkin. Add into pumpkin as well as the rest of ingredients and stir until well mixed.

Bake the pie for 45 minutes or until insterted knife comes out clean.

ALL DONE!

You can also be a cheater and use a can of pumpkin pie filling. But thats only for cheaters! You can also Substitute the pumpkin for sweet potatos and make sweet potato pie if you're into that sort of thing.

PEACE.

My Awesome Life

LOL yeah,got up this morning with a huge headache, then I had to go out an SAVE THE WORLD WITH THE POWER OF MUSIC

In outer space.

I -have- been drawing. see.



I did another one, but I'll post that later.

Tea

Louis is trying to find a way to save his old cat Tea. So he travels through a great forest with all sorts of crazy things to find someone to help him.



With him is his lovely Toffee who is equally concerned about Tea, as she lived with him since forever. Talking to them is Chester, the second cousin of Studly (twice removed). Hes a pretty knowlegeable young racoon, with little patience.



Studly is a studious gentleman who knows much yes, but forgets alot as well. He does his best to guide those in peril, and will do anything for his lady.

The story is about halfway along I think. Won't really write it down anywhere just yet, other than on real paper pages. But it's going vrey well.

Lost

So I adopted a giraffe and called him Lost. Because the box he lived in said lost on it.


I do my best to give him everything he wants.

I thought I'd try to add a bit more dimention and motion to it. The scan doesn't really catch the freeness of it, but I'm satisfied I guess. Drawing animals is much more fun that I use to think when i was younger. they have so much more personality.

The richest giraffe in the world, he is. I have to meet someone at a tea party soon. Won't forget to take pictures.

Eyes for eyes.

So i have been doing a few things. Drawing here and there. Practicing a bit.


Next will be Chance.

Anyway, I've been playing the piano alot. Can nearly play all of Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" One of hte best piaon songs ever in the world.

....guess this update is over...

You've gone mad ):<

So I've slowly been working again. But I almost feel very pressed for time. Need to push myself to draw more.



So i got to use the bay owl. But I really want to use the barn owl. Soon enough. But first i think i should do some water colour. Havn't been able to for a bit. Need to get some canvas too...

Doesn't help that I was getting lazy with this picture here at the end but, I still feel it's decent.

The Barn and the Bay.

This interesting thing has been floating around the internet, and it's quite amazing/pretty/creepy. Very inspiring in a way I guess. I like thier very causious and curious behavior. Especially when someone is looking at them they seem to sway about like that.

Not much is known about Barn owls. Only very few types of them are known well enough, but theres a bunch more that people I guess just seem uninterested in learning about .



I feel that Bay owls have a much more daunting appearance, but thier actuall behavior is far more friendly.

Does anyone else see new characters arising? I'm afraid I might end up with one too many.

And so we go on.

And the story continues.



you see, no one else but him can read that book and survive.

I imagine it to have that stupid calvin & hobbes ending in it over and over again.

Almost forgot

I almost forgot why i was writing this story until i got a new album and read that heart shattering C&H strip.

Chasing the past.

You ever wonder how old peeps are doing? I wonder that shit all the time.

Well I think I'm finally onto something. I just hope that I can keep with it. One of my favorite sites to post it has already put it in question, being that there is something other than a human male subject. Oh well. Won't stop me bitches.



It's definately good practice for backgrounds and all.
