ITS ALL YOUR FAULT

#1 If your goal is to walk in the Village Halloween Parade you need to get there before 8:30 or you're just another costumed weirdo aimlessly wandering about.

#2 Some people get really angry when they don't immediately recognize what you're dressed as. "What the fuck are you supposed to be?!?" As if to say "How dare you not dress as A: Something I've seen on TV B: Something sexy (usually reserved for women)"

#3 More head padding!



#4 I really need to clean my apartment.

( Words, Words, Words )

Just finished the series. Was highly entertained.

Alabama!

I know I've done this before, but I'm usually opposed to putting political content in my journal. I didn't create it for this purpose, but hol-e-crap! Fox news is in total propaganda mode.

Barney Frank dusting off the Democrats spine.



Here's the Shaun Hannity response.
From 1:27 - Notice the talking head say "here's a sampling of some of the questions" though no actual audience questions are shown, just Frank's responses. This isn't even a simple editing trick it's just a bold face omission to make frank look like a over-burdened lunatic. Talking head goes on to tell us the audience became irate with Frank and the conversation was whether frank was simply being mean to the audience. We're to believe one audience member stood up and asked why Frank was putting them down. At 2:20 a clip is supposed to be shown of that person but they don't actually have it. Technical glitch? doubtful.




What follows is an interview with Michelle Bachman which is, ya know, just precious. If you don't know who she is, here ya go.

This is where it started.


This is where it ended.


Another Woot Shirt attempt.

Good night.

So here's what it became after I, being the dumbass that I am, read the rules and realized I could
only use six colors and no gradients. I'm not just hitting myself by saying that this demonstrates my lack of experience as an illustrator, the colors, the lines. There's something missing, or off to me that I don't possess the ability to explain. Perhaps if I went to school proper for this my technique would be stronger, but that's the point of submitting these things to contests and trying to get some feedback. Things can only get better.

Anyway, here's the link to the submission. Thanks to everyone who voted for me and hopefully I can have something for you guys next week just so long as my day job doesn't jam its way into my life. Although that's how I'm eating these days, so maybe it should intrude but just enough right?

FUCK THE IPHONE! I JUST WANT THE APPS!

I could spend eternity, tweaking, manipulating shapes and smoothing out all the hard edges to give it a photo-realistic spit shine. But why? I really just wanted one last gasp for 2008 and it doesn't have to be stellar. Sure its a cop-out but what else is new? I started the year with all sorts of goals, but didn't have the organization nor the discipline to achieve them, so in some kind of "poetic" way 2008 will just be another work in progress much like this painting / whatever it is.. Unfortunately there will never be another, but then again you can say that for every day. There will never be another Monday 29th, 2008.. and so on and so on.

So here comes 2009 creeping in, and its predicted to be a bad, painful year. I guess we'll find out soon enough. However right now it's 1:30am, Tuesday 30th 2008. I'm signing off in order to find a bed and stay there for eight hours.

Nothing more to say, just glad we're all still here.

Rhett and Maria, I need input!



Also here's a political cartoon I did for Go Africa TV.

I don't think I ever put this on livejournal or really showed anyone else. One of my biggest problems is I'm a nut about details - so much so that I'll throw in my whole lot with nothing but.. My sketch-book is a patchwork of little detailed, unfinished faces, arms, legs - all the properties that make up a human being but rarely will you see one standing combined. Its my biggest problem and I hope to correct it.
