Happy New Year everyone.

Was actually supposed to finish this for Christmas (obviously) but between work/christmas shopping and going out for dinner with the fam, I had nearly 2 hours every week to work on it durring the month of December. I'm happy with it though, and may turn it into a card next year if I still like it.

I think Antonio enjoys getting into the spirit of things.

This new year... well I have a lot of things I want to do. I'm doing my citizenship test on the 6th of this month. I'm sure I will pass... and after that we just have to get some shit together to show some people and they can be like " aiight, you coo, stay wit us yo."

This will mean that I have no worries anymore. I'll have my job, and not have to study for some strange test and tom will stop pestering me about these things.

I've grown alot this year. I don't sit around moping like an asshat anymore, crying about things past and acting like I'm lost. Because I'm not. I've got everything I've ever wanted and then some. The only thing I've yet to acheive is my everlasting goal of improvement in my work. Which...is on it's way. So here's some other stuff I've yet to post, that I've sketched over the days.



I did this one while sitting in bed waiting for Tom, then worked on it some more over the days after I started it. I'm pretty happy with this, Tom and his mother really like this one I think. He wants me to paint this one as well, but I'm not sure if I'll get along to doing that...maybe.

I also started this picture of Asakati, but never really got around to getting serious about it, though mind you I wasn't really planning to in the beggining anyway.

After a bit I have decided that I do actually want to do a space sotry with Asakati in it, because I love drawing him in space suits and things. He looks good in them. So, I will do that, and it's going to be a really bad ass story, I promise.

And now that I have nothing to worry about this year except working when I have to ( which isn't a problem, because I love my job. It's the most awesome thing ever and gives me the giggles forever), I can spend a good deal of time developing stories and getting shit done for real. I know I say this like, everytime, but it was always a case of, oh I dont have a job, let me get one, oh i have to study let me do that, but oh my stories, let me work on that but oh, my studies, but oh i need a job.

No more running around in circles.

This is why I'm so hyped for this year.

Well I best be off. Gotta do the getting ready stuff, Tom and I are off to a pantamime this afternoon. I hope it will be good, other wise, im going to be annoyed :c.

Keep it snazzy.

Also :

Radiohead - Pyramid Song

Let's do this shit.

Lullaby

Trade done with Enzymer. Whole story here

Havn't really come across any new music or anything as of late except for one good jingle.

TheLittleBird - Lullaby (jazzanova remix)

Quite soothing and relaxing and kind of gets me in that majestic sort of Christmas mood.

Iv'e had hardly any time for painting either. Since I started this new job at the candy store, it's taken quite alot of commitment. I've been doing a few less days than I have been these past weeks, but the only days I get off I usually have to run off and do other things or take care of the house. Being a grown up is hard. Oh how I miss the days of old.... It's not that bad really. I think it's mostly because Christmas is coming up so alot of time has been running around town to try and pick up gifts etc. I kind of miss sitting around the hosue and painting/playing games though. I was playing Saints Row 2 again with Ren the other night, and it was pretty ball slapping hilarious. Runing around nekked in a pint sized motor bike as I was 3 times biger than every other player in the game. It's a difficult situation to explain. Perhaps I can take a picture or sommat.

I have been working on a Christmas picture though, since I did a thanks giving one. Thanksgiving and Christmas are probably my two favorite holidays ever. They just mean alot to me.



Still trying to get better at this painting thing. I'm slowly gaining more confidence and finally realising my potential, and that it isn't that hard to actually finish a picture. And that it's also okay to just sketch something sometimes without going all out on it. Speaking of sketches, here's something else I did at the laundrette some weeks back.



It's not anything spectacular, as drawing in the laundrette is a bit weird. Lots of distractions, and always some random person saying " did you draw that? " as you hold the pencil and book in your hand. They're genreally nice people who mean no harm, but it's pretty funny.

Work work work. I'm nearlly having drawing withdrawl symptoms. I'm sure after the season , I should have more time...or not. My employer has a few plans after holidays which might land me a full time job.... It's nice having money, but I don't know if I can give up drawing... I'm a bit scared. I don't want to get stuck. It would be nice to have some money saved up and things..but time is a precious thing. It can be taken away any moment. As much as I love my new job, it's just not what I'm meant to be doing...


I've got a few other useless sketches lying around that I'll drop later. Hope I can finish my christmas picture before christmas comes! Maybe this weekend.

Turky Day

Alright, so, this was supposed to be a Halloween picture but, I really had no time to work on it. So now it's a Thanks Giving picture. Thought i'd make it Saturday Evening Post-esque. I hate drawing letters/numbers usually, but these weren't too annoying.

So Christopher done stole Cleo's old American Football gear, and likes to play around in it. Like nub. Alone. He also likes to smang it.

Check it:




Probably one of my favorite music videos.
So much work this coming week.

Keep it snappy.

P.S: Here have another wallpaper : Bam

Mata, Rainen

An Ayami Kojima study, done in TegakiE.

He reminds me of Tom when we first met.

Tujiko Noriko + Tyme - Mata, Rainen

Cleo's face! It exists! Christopher is obssessed with Cleo (in every sense of the word, but most of you know that). He speaks french and stuff too. And is just all around retarded. He's also very very superficial. Doesn't belive in love and all that (like most people) and I would imagine his theme song would be Diamonds are Forever as preformed by Sherly Bassey. Love that song.

But some other good stuff I came across :










And have some videos

Yelle - Je Veux Te Voir
Yelle - A Cause Des Garcons

Lots and lots and lots of music. I'm not usually into electro pop type things but I guess it's been growing on me as of late. The Magnetic man song always comes on while I'm at work ( we play Radio 1 all day) and it's like the only song that I don't mind.

Other than that I havn't gotten around to doing a whole lot, just some other things that I whipped up quickly



Only naughty people will try to click that one. So if you've already clicked it, it's too late.Sorry.... Christopher is pretty lame at boxing, and when he loses, it's up to Cleo to ...comfort him. I guess.



And I did this one for Belicosa, cause I love Pytor. Hes mad sexy :c. And dangerous. I started colouring that one too but, don't know if i'll get around to finishing it. Might do, its not terribly difficult.

I'm really trying to get to grips with painting and doing things in colour, as well as a timely manner. It always seems that everyone else can do these huge magnificent peices in days, where it takes me ages just to do something simple. Maybe I've got it all wrong and they all take their time as well. Hmm. Well, just keep drawing I suppose. It's just one of those things where while I'm painting/drawing I really feel like I actually am progressing, but once I'm done I think, damn, I totally could work harder/do better than that.
One of these days i'm probably going to smash my head into a wall. I feel a bit weird too as my content is kind of...normal? I don't like drawing worriors, or wizards or half nakked lady witches. I'm not very much into high fantasy I guess. I sometimes feel like, alot of the more well recognized work is mainly that, or something "quirky". Maybe I'm just bitching and being an ungreatful punt. Maybe I should give those kind of things a try, and maybe -just maybe- I'd like it.
Just have alot on my mind about my own work. And my stories. I have quite long drawn out lives of my stories in my head, and barely write or materalize these things. I just need to stop being a huge brat and sit down and -do it-.

Hm. I think I will.

Well, here's some wallpapers I made for those of you who would like to be naughty 100% of the time.

1
2!
3!!

Ya'll have a good time. Keep it real. Keep it fresh.
I've got to go do the laundry.

While I was gone

Christopher grew up!!! He's a big boy now. He's still with his baby Cleo, but he want's to be a boxer now cause one night he almost got well messed up but some dude saved him who was well good at throwing a 1 2. So after the incident he aspired to become not so much -the best- boxer, but at least a decent one that could kick ass when he felt the need to. And also beat up Cleo, cause he's been wanting to do that for years.

Cleo doesn't like the idea very much. Or Christophers sudden growth spurt...

On the real though it's been a trip not having the internet. So I sketched alot, and played Tekken alot. I though I was doing pretty good, but I finally got to play online and DUDE , those people are SICK. Goddam. My ass was beaten like the nerd at the playground I'll tell you what. I was so furious! But ah well. AH WELL. I STILL WANT TO PLAY! So if you want to fight pretty Christopher, give me a shout. We can make it a date.

I havn't been Listening to too much new music, but I got around to giving Das Racist's Album a listen.







Worth a listen. Pretty entertaining. Makes good fighting music.

And some things I drew while watching tom play some games:



Cleo has some really strange fanatasies about Chris sometimes, and has an obsession with his mouth(particularly when he can see his teeth). And he finds things that are wrong to be especially attractive. And now that Chris is all grown up, he misses his submissive effeminate Chris :cc. Poor Cleo bby.

And to turn up the gay a bit more, here's a gay cowboy.



Sorry if you can't read my hand writing. I have really shit hand writing.

And this Tegaki thing I didn't get to post up here before, for those of you who might not have seen.



This was for my buddy Enzymer from Tegaki. She draw some of the most wicked shit. You can check her blog too.

So the move went well , despite being without internet for a long while, but it was for the best.

I got a new job. I work at a sweets shop now with my manager Jeremy. He's really cool cause he actually knows what he's doing and is just all around cool. And he also sells american sweets, so I can by all my long missed goodies. I spend way too much money while working. Anyway. I spent all my day jsut trying to make that stupid gif file work, so now I'm leaving. Probably going to go draw something even more gay than whats been posted. <3 keep it real yall <333

Thirteenth

Should have Internet around the thirteenth.if all goes correctly. Lots of updating to do... kind of. It's kind of fun not having Internet though I guess. Not glued to the computer all the time. Been playing Tekken 6 alot. I'm up for a fight if anyone is willing . I even made Christopher if anyone wants to fight him. Anyway , back to doodling and sleep and work .
