ITS ALL YOUR FAULT

Here

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.


( something I never finished )

( explanation )

I originally drew this with a few other panels buffering it, as if it were a story, but in True Derek Edwards style (yeah, I'm talking in third person whacu'gunnado?) I didn't create it around an actual plot. Actually it was just some stupid sketch I came up with while getting out of the shower one day. Oh wouldn't that be kinda funny. The idea made me giggle. I sketched it all out, produced a couple of panels and then let it sit, and sit.. and it sat for a long, long time - a few months in fact. Now that I'm coming back to it fresh it seems like a stupid stupid idea..and it's also not finished. So screw that road, I'm not walking down it just to say I finished something. Although the total production was a waste I did manage to eek out at least one thing I kind of liked.

oh. Uh'oh. oh. oh.

My friend from Tennessee posted this in response to my ninja illustration so I felt it only reasonable to spend two hours out of my day concocting a followup. - and Yes I thieves the xenu look. So what? It's a good design. To be fair, and I should have said this in the previous post - his illustration only took 7 minutes of his time.

All done entirely in MS paint.



( hmmm, make biggah! )

I'm X-posting too.. eventually.


So a little bit about this. , It's not 100% original which is obvious by the background.
Think of this more as creative traceing with the help of several programs all of which I'm
not really proficient in. I'm also not really married to the color scheme which feels all over the map.
Oh, and sorry about the lack of cut :P Nevermind, I'm actually not sorry about THAT :)
