I've been doing unrelated comic stuff this past week...2 weeks maybe? Need to get back on track. Though that last one was pretty fun. Spelling mistakes and all. I keep playing with the thought of making a Military Men Colouring Book...cause it would be mad fun yo. Anyway.

So I was nearly fired a couple days back. He was saying that I wasn't catching on quickly enough and things. Which made me feel pretty shitty because I thought I was doing fairly well. Guess not. So instead of moping Tom came with the idea of drawing a flyer for him, since he was talking about it before. I was originally thinking about doing a buisness card for him, being that he didn't have any decent ones, only ones on regular printed paper...anway, so I came up with his thing:



and did a back as well.



He was estatic when he saw them, and now his comments and reactions towards me have been a complete 180. Which really weirds me out. Does he still think I'm working bad in the store? I can't tell :c.... Tom said I shouldn't worry and just be glad that I was able to save my ass and let my skills come in handy. I must say I am pretty satisfied with myself doing this. Came out better than I thought.

In other news, I finally got my order through from Belicosa. And I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo happy with it. It's soooo awesome. She was selling sketchbooks for only $3 ; _;. Gaw. So awesome. I took pictures cause she made me this aweeesooome package. I feel spoiled. I almost want to draw her something back and mail it but then she might think I was some creepy stalker c:... which I kind of am cause I love her work so much ; _;... I'll show photos next time.

Not Dead, I promise.

For those of you who don't know, I've been working on Meretricium quite Fervently (a whole 3 pages!! WOOOO!!!111). I'd love to show you guys some pages and what not , but I don't want to show it until I get a good deal of it done. Though I've been showing it to some friends and whatevs, but I gotta stop that soon too, or they won't be able to enjoy the story properly :c. So now I gotta become a hermit ...

In other news. I did get the job. Now I get to tell what pretty dresses such and such a girl should wear. I wish my confidence didn't deminish the way it has. I'll get it back.... I will.But having a job is nice. I feel productive. I'm happy! I'm better! I don't sit around moping all day thinking " oh. I -could- be doing this" and just..do it.

I'm so lucky.

Oh , and thanks again Gitoku, for that awesome track. Keep it real, keep it fresh ya'll.

What what

I almost got a job. ALMOST. I'm like. This close : ||

SO CLOSE. We'll find out friday the verdict.


SOOOOO CLOOOOSE.

Also, I got the first page done of my comic with Christopher and Cleo c: .

It is called : Meretricium

x3



I've been feeling a little out of sorts lately. But I think I'm getting better this time. For real. However, I feel there is a little part of me that may be changed forever. Hopefully for the best.

Space Marine

I drew one!



When Christopher was little, he always wanted to be a space marine.

Live that dream Chris. Live it!

....I have a blistering headache. I should go read or something. Be productive in other ways.

Also drew this thing because Claire wanted me to.


It's a toaster stealing monster. Greedy children turn into these and if they don't stop being greedy they change fully into this weird animal , never able to change back into a human ever again.

Lovely

I got this email the other day. Completely out of the blue, totally unexpected. To be honest I thought it was just a weird spam that creeped into my pot of other less annoying spam. But it wasn't. It was actually a pleasant letter, expressing things about my work I never knew people felt when they saw it.



I really didn't know what to say at first,actually. I read it out loud to Tom, with this dumb ass grin on my face the whole time. It was perfect timing, because I was just thinking the day before about how shit my work was getting again, and I wouldn't have finished the picture. I was just about to quit it, but then I decided I'd finish it because it was an awesome day that filled me with hope. It made me realize that even though people arn't saying it to your face all the time, you still leave this impression, or imprint even, on everyone. They don't always have to say it, but it's not about the feedback. It's about the effect.

I finished this for you, Laela.

You can see it better here.

Beil

Got our new printer/scanner in today.

THIS SHIT IS THE PIMP.

Look at dem shades. I'm usually very very gentle with my pencil work, so half the time it never shows up how it actually is. But no need to fear.

Been on a role lately. Gotta fix up my resume, look for more jobs, and read the books I'm reading. A few others came in today that I was totally hyped about.



For my soon to be awesome film making career that will be awesome.



And for my first movie. So much reading to do, but real fun. Still reading quantum physics and the bible and all. I'll probably try and finish those before I start on The Republic, being thats another lengthy book. And the Reel Truth is even lengthier. But I look smart with a book in my face so it's coo.

I also drew some old guy, but hes not that coo, so he can stay hidden in mine sketch book....gotta work on that resume.

This Fancy Man

After making this, I totally remembered about Jamiroquai. That's one awesome cat.

Tom just got me a copy of Plato's Republic yesterday, so that I can continue the story of The Elephant King. I'm totally hyped for this story. I love animals and all, so it'll be fun picking the ones I want. There's totally going to be a tiger man in a suit. I promise.

I also been working on my Jesus story still, and reading Marcus Chown's "Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You"



An Extremely good read. One should definately pick it up if they want to know how weird the world totally is and how uncool we are compared to it. It's definately helping me out with my own story, just as I hoped. I just wish I could get such a better grasp of everything that encompases the whole subject, but that's much much more reading for another day. You can really get lost in the boundless amounts of information and theories surrounding the universe. MIND BOGGLING I SAY!
