when you get so tired, you blink and get dizzy...

Been feeling really tired lately. I usually work nights, well not nights... but i close at work.. which means i get home at around 10 or 11, sometimes a bit later.. but regardless i get to bed round one or two, being as leah has to work usually round 9 or 10 the next morning. So on days that i work...I have to go at around three or four, so i end up setting my alarm clock for round 10 or 11. But there in the lies the problem... i dont wake up then. I snooze like a mother fucker, till an hour before i have to work. I KNOW i have shit to do, in fact i have A LOT of shit i have to get done this winter, but i dont get up. I'm seriously starting to believe i have mono or some shit, i dont know. I dont know what thats like. But i think maybe i have to be more tired.

Right bout now i'm feeling that mode of tiredness where when you blink yer eyes kind of go crossed and it takes a second for them to revert to normal... ya .. you know what i mean. And here i woke up at noon today. Bullshit i say.

anyways... some art from church on xmas eve, and some shit from a local bar on wednesday.
oh and king kong was intense. MMHMM.
kong didnt really look REAL perse... like a REAL ape, but he sure as hell earns the title for missing link between realistic man in suit and real ape. kudos to them.

jerks and dames

Bleh, at work ummm, some guy came up to us and asked us for an opinion on which gift card looked nicer.
He was holding two of them, and one of them, while very sparkly and flashy, was a gift card with a large minora on it. So we tried to explain to him that it was for jewish people.. he didnt seem to quite understand, so he asked around to other customers what the significance of the 9 candles was... he then found someone and made sure he told us what that customer said. It was a nice little informative occasion. I just wish the guy wasnt such a close talker, and came straight out of the 80's. ewww.

anyways, i had to draw a little jewish boy lovin on the minora.
and hell yes dj igor

and some shitty drawing of a character from http://entervoid.com

OH and then on wedensday i felt i should draw toolio, i hadn't drawn him for a minute, and i really wanted to sketch him out more child like, but i didnt get out what was in my head.
anyways... i had this plastic peice of ummm iono plastic, shaped kinda like a credit card.. so i said fuck it, lets draw some VOIDallstars cards. heh.

People and Corporations...

I really have nothing to say.
Well scratch that... i have plenty to say about corporate america and its endless fucked up policies that are in place to "help and protect us", but i really dont have the energy to talk about that shit.

becuase quite frankly, at the end of the day... i still bend over and take it in the rectum.

the future of jobs... doesnt look good...

So i applied at some company last week, not really expecting to get a call back, but suprisingly enough though they DID call me.. and actually wanted to speak to me.. which is nice for a change. My rate for getting a call to come in for an interview for jobs i've applied for in my entire working career has been like less than 10%.

Thats fuckin ridicoulus if you ask me.

Anyways, so they call me, and I try to call back all last week and nobody answers the phone. So this week i promised myself i would call them to see what was up... but i just seriously NEVER remember to do it. But, TODAY... those bastards call me back again, so i made sure to call them back IMMIEDIATLEY.

I ended up going through a short 15 minute over the phone interview and i tell yah... i'm a godamn master at that shit. I could get a job as the president of the united states with phone interviews.
Anyhow... in order for me to get this position.. A) i have to have good credit.. well.. A LEVEL of credit that is acceptable to them. But how good does it have to be? i have no clue.

Now the thing that really got me thinkin was... after they check my credit, they have to have me come in for a personality test. I'm sure anyone who has been trying to find a job lately will noticed that those damn personality tests are required at damn near any company you try to apply to. Which is a bit scary becuase...what if i'm just not built correctly .. SUB CONSCIOUSLY? I mean i can do my best to cover up my sub conscious while i'm around people... but those tests rate how fast or how slow you answer shit, and HOW you answer shit.

Whats gonna happen when ALL companies run off of personality tests? Nobody will have jobs i swear.


Anyways... daily sketch, i hit up stephanie's soccer game tonight and got some nice poses in.
In-door soccer is intense. I wanna join up really bad.

daily sketchums...

Doing my best to draw on a daily basis, even if its shitty little sketches... i figure it all counts.

revisiting old color...

I was talking to pyawakit today, and we were jabberin the onslaught of commissions she's been getting lately, and realized that shit, why the hell cant i get some damn commissions?
I assume its becuase my style isn't that tastey among the kids who ask for commissions, who, for the most part, seem to be anime cats ... at least on deviant art that is...

So then that prompted me to revisit an old illo i sketched up damn near a year ago, originally done to sell at cons as prints to unsuspecting anime freaks,.. but of course i never finished it.

Lookin over the old colors (seen below), i realized how much i've learned bout color theory. Now when i go outside and look at shit, i try to figure out what color would show up if i used the eye dropper tool on it, ... shit thats SUPPOSED to be white is actually light mint green.. shit like that. Its hard to think like that, but i'm getting better at it.
And while i know that the previous colors are more TEXT book, i think the new colors give it more emotion.

anyways, enough babbling...

Fortune cookie captions

I been trying to collect fortunes for quite a while, hoping to paste em in some little sketch book diary type thing, i had quite a little collection going at one point but left them at my old job... hopefully i can get em back from my boy one of these days...
anyways, i can never throw these out.. so they sit in my pockets or on my desk for ages, and i got the idea that perhaps i could start pimpin out some captions for the fortunes in my daily sketcher... so i'll be doing a few of them as i get fortunes MMHMM.

Dilly dally

Been trying my best to keep busy with work, I truly cant stand not drawing on a daily basis. I feel sick, hell even full blown upset when i skip a day without drawing SOMETHING. So i've been keeping a little daily 3"x5" notebook with me at all times, i manage to fill at least one page a day, even at work

I gotta get this Sheepal story done soon, or i'm not gonna have any time for the other shit i gotta knock out this month, and into the next.

Anyhoo.. some love for ya'll..
