I think I’ve stopped and started this entry about twenty times now. I’m not sure where to start, NAFTA, our crap economy or maybe I’ll just talk about myself. Yep…that is what I’ll do, its all about me. So, as you can tell I’ve made some progresso on the sketch. I believe I’m going to hunt down my colored pencils and go with it.

9.51 on a wednesday and I’m taking a break from listening to the load of Carlin that they’re playing on XM radio. It has made the night go by really fast, which maybe I should have tried a work today. I’ve started a sketch and have ideas for some more projects on the horizon.
I picked up the new Juxtapoz today at lunch which made the train ride enjoyable and I’m almost finished with the book on Sonic Youth. Next up is a book about the different classes of nerds. I think it should be interesting. My wife thinks that I bought the book because of the cover, shhhh…don’t tell her that it was part of the reason, but really it speaks to my obsession with the Revenge of the Nerds series of great cinema.
On that note, I’m out. Until next time….COURAGE.
I’m currently reading a book on SONIC YOUTH and during this process I’ve come to realize that I lent a few albums out to friends and then we moved and those albums decided to stay with their new owners. Now I have to go on another re-buying quest. I guess that is what happens.
It is fifteen minutes past the time that I’m usually asleep and I don’t think that I’ll probably be able to sleep too well tonight as I’m wound up from the day’s work and my mind is racing. I did come up with a few more ideas for illustrations, but I really need to work on the ones that were started a few weeks back. I’m falling into the habit of getting home from the day job and pretty much doing everything but work on my own shit. Well, I’m taking a stand, as of right now, I’m going to force myself to fill an artistic quota. Well I guess that I should really call it for the evening and try to get some sleep so I can fight off the day job wolves. Until the next time, courage.
I came across this via, itsnicethat.com. Mike Sacks has a batch of photos of snapshots of the telly. I’ve tried this a few times and you can get some pretty interesting results. When things are pulled out of one context and displayed in another, oh the things that can happen.
Going through my links tonight, I came across the work of Mr. Forson again and thought that I’d mention it to folks that might be peeping this blog. Check out his work here. Lots of good work. On that note, I’m going to finish the night’s search and head to beddy-bye. Until tomorrow….you know the drill.
Yesterday, I came across supplies that allow one to make their own shrinky dinks. Pictured above are the two experiments that I did last night using a couple of illustrations that you’ve maybe have seen in my work if you follow the delete by any means. I’m thinking of ideas for more treatments of this new found medium. I wonder how large I can make them? Hmmmm. More to come on this
Another bit brought to you by itsnicethat.com . Talking kitties always brighten my day.
Along with the new Radiohead album comes some awesome help from much of it’s fan-base. (Found via CTC, again.)
I’ve been buying into a lot of superstitions and I think that I’ve loaded the game so the Wings shall fall in this one. We’ll see. Andy and Tressa are on their way from the tundra known as Laramie to hang for the game and some change. We also have the Canadian beer on our sides. No word on the status of Forsberg, but I think they’ve settled down and tightened since the first period of the last game and can play some decent hockey. What else can I say. Bring it.
*update: they brought it and it wasn’t pretty. Mcleod did throw the octopus back into the crowd, which I thought was rather enjoyable. Hopefully I’ll find video of that soon. I now have to wait until tuesday to see how everything plays out. Things are not looking so hot right now in camp de la deleted. Until the next time, courage.
Well, after a pretty weak showing in game one, I can only hope that game two is much much better, or I might have to quit depending on hockey to make me happy these days. At least there is another day of work for me before the weekend. I would hate to not have that, yep that is what I call sarcasm. I bet I’ll be in a chipper mood tomorrow, look out for that co-workers!
In other news, I had to fight the mass of Rockies fans to ride the train home today. I guess today was just full of little annoyances to really get the delete’s goose. Whatever that means.
We’re most likely going to have guests this weekend for game 2, hopefully the avalanche will have some special guests too, like who hockey version of the people who were on the ice tonight. I’m not looking forward to tomorrow’s edition of NHL live. My guess is people writing off the series to the wings after tonight’s game. We’ll see how that plays out. Ok, I’m boring myself. Off to either bed or art…..HMMMMM, oh the choices. Until next time, please remember that the RED WINGS SUCK.
