Hoooraaaa People.
New updates for the old personality.
You all love me, i know it.
And you missed me.
Either that or ive made a grave error in judgement.

Oh well, here is some 3d work.
Some concepts of new Galco characters and some fun.

Other than that.

Behave

OMG its a new year, how did that happen?? You let it happen didn't you...Now don't do it again okay, okay, good. Nothing at all good has happened, well not like its been bad, I mean its been the same without the added excitment of something amazing.

No wait I told a lie something fantastic did happen. TENACIOUS D came to town, and in their words "Rocked Our Fucking Socks Off". Best live thing ever (sorry L&W) but this was a killer. The set was great, though still kinda tacky but that added to the awesomness that is 'THE D'. And that dancing/skip thing around the mushroom, *dies laughing* so cute. And on a final note...'So how many backdoor keys does Kyle hand out?'

Ooo and if i wasnt online enough as it is, im now in possession of WOW< so be prepared to not get alot of work out of me at all...hehe, no really, i got it to break the boring cycle of work, workout, sleep...now it will be wow, work, wow, workout, wow, nap, wow, nap, wow, wow, and maybe wow...no really.
I should go set it up now.

Happy belated new year people!

Its only five more days till christmas, excited?
Im not overly, its another day. Just one where nothing happens and the cinema is closed. Though I do get to work in the morning that should be interesting no doubt.

Not much art of late, sorry bout that. Been busy and frankly (hehe) havent been stuffed doing anything creative. Besides writing. I should upload a piece. Okay I'll do that to appease the masses.

New car is wonderful, (new pic coming soon). Discovered a old fashioned torture device, or excercise machine as many would call it. It really wouldnt look out of place in a dungeon in old england.

Carols on friday, im dumping sister and making a run for it to the cinema. God help us, 4 hours of singing christmas songs. Definitly not for me. Im thinking perhaps a 2hour escape is what would be best.
Do yourself a favour and see the new Bond movie, 'Casino Royal'. Great movie and best bond ever. Note the torture scene and witty banter. Nice.
Oh and 'The Prestige' go see that one too. Great twister and actually a nice book adaption.

Other than that, everyone have a great christmas and holiday if you get them. Or just have a great time. Avoid drinking and eating too much, its not good for ya.

I really need to type some random things here more often.
Got a new car on saturday just gone, a little suzuki. So happy, I can once again go out when i want without the need to wait for a parent vehicle just to know i will be able to get home again.

I finished my tafe course which was good, I passed just so you know. I think i probably passed ten fold over. But thats not the point. Its over and now im free wednesdays and its not good. I dont know what to do with myself.

Starting on the painting/prints for this year, finally. You'd think i'd have learnt my lesson about leaving things till the last second but alas i havent and dont think i really ever will.
Also Im signing my life away once again this friday at AIE, i get to make myself officially a full time student again, hooorraaa for cheaper public transport. Cant really see any other benifits of it really besides i dont get all the time to myself that i once had. But who cares i be learning again.

I think thats all i have to say once again. In the time i type this my brain goes dead to everything i could and should post and im left with crap.

Welcome back to the cold and uninhabited world of Evilo Province. Im back from a 6 day 'no computer' holiday. I drew a heap as you can see.
I think i need some new LM's.

Im in, the crazy people at AIE have accepted me. Ive just go to pay some extrodinary amount and i begin next year. HOW FREEKING SWEET!
Probably time for a new computer then, hmm thats going to take some doing.

What else, yes Saw Lano & Woodley for the very last time too. And I know I said it before but this time it is the very very last time. Im in no way able to get to Melbourne in a couple of hours.
In a way Im happy for them to finally be able to move on and do something different. But totally devastated they wont be around for another of my 20yrs.
I GOT TO HUG COL!!!
Yes that was exciting, and frank asked me if i move 'it' around on the first night. Hehe, godbless the person who put those fruits in that basket.
Gave them Franger Lane, I hope they liked it...either way Im happy with it, I wasnt happy with those massive paintings before and was just glad to be able to redeem my artistic self. Anything else is a plus.
I still cant believe its over, I'm ganna miss them, and yes I realise they left dvd's and books and cds and tv appearances. But in the end its not the same, they wont just randomly come out with a new show.
Well Im happy they said goodbye and in no way did they ever say they would NEVER return. Thus there is always hope. Till that day lets all stay alive.

I think thats it...yep thats it.

Book Done.
Logos to go.
But Im making progress, considering the lack of sleep/supanova/day light savings and planning for qld.
Im going to do some other stuff when I get back. Ive hardly picked up a pen that wasnt for writing or the tablet pen...Its odd.
Oh and just so you know Supanova was great!!
You shoulda been there.

Im loving the Scissor Sisters at the moment. People say that this new album isnt as good as the first, screw em. Same goes for Missy Elliot.
OMG TD is coming to OZ, bring it baby.
I'll be the first to skip work and get tickets here thats for sure, or I'll get my mommy to do it for me -lol-
Anyway I have nothing to say, i just wanted to ramble for awhile.

Oh yeah new av's for both of my personalities, finally.

-------------------------
6-Oct
Got a new baby the other day, well not one of those crying humans but more of another electronic member of my family...enter 25disc stereo system. Not Only does it mean I dont have to go back to my room from the computer to change cd's but it was FREE. Thats right free, Its great having a mother who knows people who are too rich to wait till something is busted to get a new thing. So I inherited it.

Although I havent done anything new in artistic ways, I seem to have been plenty busy. Its weird when you havent been doing anything productive, just stupid things and *poof* times gone.

Spent plenty getting a new outfit done. Pin-stripe pants suit (but vest instead of jacket) Nice green backing for it. Once Ive finished it, I'll post some images (Hopefully it will look great).

Oh and Im doing the Nanowrimo.
A Novel in a month, thats 50,000 words people.
Even though I'll have a hell of alot on, im giving it a shot. Hell the more Im doing the better I feel.

Learn Well, Live Well. Peoples.

One last thing, UP THE FORDS!!!
And RIP #05 Brocky.

Wow a month since I typed something insane here. Creepy. And why do i persist in the one journal...well cause who wants to open too many pages, not me. So why create a nusance of myself.

So I got my parents tickets to Elton John in Sydney, I wanted to go...But who wants to go with the olds. Too bad about the seating though.
Not long till I got to QLD now...not long till Supernova either, kinda scary how quickly a year goes.

Im off to AIE's opening night on tuesday, should be interesting, I finally get to step foot into someplace I wanna be. Cant wait, im all excited about it.

Okay and back to my little side project, to keep me on target with 'Franger Lane' Im going to make myself a storyboard or the like so i keep going with it. Or once again it will end up a rush job (omg do i have to remember those paintings gah)

>done 5 first drafts of 25 pages.
>done 2 finals of 25 pages.
>25 concept sketches done.

Gah...look at all that work.
Just thinking of those 2 men make me laugh, bring it on.

Got my Tickets today for Lano And Woodley in QLD 3rd and 4th NOV... Its only like 10 weeks or so away. This year has gone super fast.
My sister blew a moth AT ME!
Now I should get started on that book.

-------------------------
14-Aug
Change of plans so it wont be in the next few weeks it wont be to nov 3-4... as long as things go to plan. Kinda pissy but it gives me time to do some things anyway.

-------------------------
12-Aug
I should be jet setting off to the sunshine state in less than 3 weeks. Off to say Goodbye to Lano & Woodley in another State, I've done it in 3 so far.
This will be the last, that I am sure of. But I did say that before.

Hopefully I shall get some sight seeing done and take alot of photos. I love refrence images. Just got to make sure I stay out of the sun, burning happens way to easily for me.

Then perhaps I may return with some Ink, Ive been thinking about it for a long time. And a holiday is better than ever to get one.

That's right i said DANCE.

Okay since I have been watching too much 'Muppet Show', 'Lano & Woodley' and the best freeking show ever 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'

I'm on a high and working on something different. Not that I can say much of mine things are similar.

So like the subject fortold... see them and amaze at my crappynes compared...

Peta, she's a freekingly made alternate-reality onto herself.


(what the hell did i just say???)

Niles, crazy person...mostly like frasiers brother and not my sister.

Do you know what a s--t it is, when you’ve spent 3 hours on line work for an image?

Only to put in a disk, got to close media windows…and accidentally close your work.

Well I do and its so frustrating cause no matter how long you spend on it now, it will never and I mean NEVER look the way you had it.

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.

AM I pissed at myself…I cant believe I did it, I am filthy with myself…

The eyes were gorgeous…and I f--ked up.

*Bashes head on desk*

Colin is done…F--king Galaeo is the one, I was * * this far from finishing…I was just doing his glove things.

*Cries*
