Tired is the name of the game. I haven't been able to sleep in a few nights a few minutes here and there don't do a lot. On an up note i now have a working version of Photoshop and Illustrator so it's time for me to get back to the grind stone of creating my own art work again. Bring on the creative juice that i have been lacking since my old computer wigged out. That's it for the day.

Quick house update finally went to the old house and got the 2nd lamp. I can actually see in the living room now. I took the run as well my little house is starting to look like my house. I grab my old stereo as well it doesn't look that good but it does make playing rock band that much more fun.
The next room on the list to do is the office music station. I need to get my wing back chair and and the old sofa and my desk the figure out what to do to the walls. I want to paint but white is ok for now. So start looking forward to movie and food nights, may not compare to drawing movies and food in SRQ but i hope to be a close second.

I'm singing praise today. I randomly went to my colleges website to see what was new and was proud to see that Ringling has 32 artist in the new society of illustrators that's a hug number of people good job guys and dolls? Work is still slow but me and Chris talked today about putting a store up on the one12 site to sale our own designs when we are down like this at least some kind of money will be coming in. I hope he does it it would be nice to get a chance to design stuff me and my friends would ware not stuff for local high schools that's fun but the people buying the stuff don't know what the kids want or like. So fingers crossed and here is my chance. A one12 line or will it be named that who knows but it could be a good thing. If it starts up i know some other artist i want to get some freelance work from us nothing better than waring a friends are on your shirt. I want to see young Dracula and monkeys on bikes.

Drawing From 4-19-09

Ruff of Tattoo for Ashely. Hope she likes it.
Mike

4-19-09

Today is art work day for me I guess. I am finally getting around to cleaning up a tattoo design I have been working on for Ashely. Me and her got in to a fight yesterday it was really odd. I fell bad about it but I don't. I'm not a fan of felling this way. In not so many words she said we need to not talk for a while. Now that I have slept on it, it is probably a good idea. But back to the art a while back she asked me half way joking I think to draw her a geisha so I am trying to put my twist on traditional Japaneses art. Once I have a ruff complete I will post the progress.
One Love and God Bless

4-17-09 cutting it close

I am waiting late to type this thing today. After my Rant of 4-18-09 and my sleepless night due to sore teeth I'm not felling the blog today. I have some how found myself roped in to getting up in the morning to come sale a ton of kitchen items from Donnie's house at a yard sale. I started out trying to go trough the boxes of stuff to help him set up but it was a daunting task. My mom is now trying to help and she seems to be about at the end up her rope "This is not fun!" She says as she marks glasses for 10 cent a pop. Donnie looks at everything we put out and has to touch everything and say it has a bottom to it or has a top or not. It all has a story and we don't want to hear them any more. I have never seen more stuff come out of one kitchen in my 25 years on this earth. So to rap this up it is 10:06 I have had 3 hrs of sleep and I have to be here by 7am to pull tables out of the garage and start trying use the skills I learned at the cottonmouth games to move this stuff out of here "ill give you the whole box for six bucks" Come see me or shoot me in my sleep tonight.

Oh yeah I will take pictures so you can see every thing you don't want so look for that.

Wicked side note set this to some drumb and bass

DJ take it away.
Chasing dreams and grasping at straws that will never be reachable.Mesmerized by a decent personality and a massive set of breast. The yong mans mind was slowly ripped away twisted and contorted to an open festering pit of do what told and yes man mentality. teetering on the brink he was pushed over the edge by an insulting onslaught of words from a drunken mouth. things that needed to be said but not from the mouth of the one he shown affection on. Pull up a chair and partake in the side show. the freak is about to appear unkempt hair bad skin and a nappy beard. Chained up and tied down the freak cries on the inside for Attention that is never received but wait a white light that he has hope only to turn dim in a minute. Bed warmer fill in love "will you hold the place of the one I love while I take a break to bitch".... Sure. What a tool! Long sleepless nights work failing wanting to leave cant succeed in a simple date how can one succeed at life more or less taking the chance at a huge failure of moving to another state. Turn up the highs knock down the lows. That's just right Slow down your mind take a musical mind trip don't need no drugs just let your eyes drift. Down by the water were you got your face ripped take a Chance follow her to the east end. What was that musical intermission i guess. Oh yeah bed warmer what is that 3A.M text messages wanting some one to cuddle some one to feed her take care and treat her. the one she calls to protect her cause hes the one that's trusted went from being and almost lover to being almost like a brother. man how hes got this down to an art. not beaten down just slow to get back up. Our friend our pal our warrior is in for another. Chance is all he needs and a moment to sell him self break the shyness unleash the caged angry animal that lies within bring on the world or watch it burn things are going to change for the better and he will be standing tall. (this was not aimed at any one in particular it was aimed at a lot of people they wont read this so it does not matter but hey if they do and are mad they can say something to me but i had to get it off my chest) Give your best wishes to the best MC.

Well so far so good keeping constant on typing on this blog. Today at work was good till Kim had some issues with a customer but its all good. I got to look trough a lot of old designs at work to find stuff for the website it was interestingly hard to deiced what to pick. I leaned towards the stuff I did but i knew i would have to chose other stuff to. I gathered up around 60 designs off my computer at work. So while doing this I had the joy of pulling shirts the rest of the day. No stress in counting to ten and then fold. The work day was topped by receiving my last cheek from the cotton mouths for the season. I'm glad hockey is over but i do kind of miss it on Friday and Saturday nights when I am looking for something to do. I can say working the games was a learning experience on what people do and don't like on t-shirts. Opened up my eyes to local design doing this work has led me to believe I am for bigger and better things, I want to be California bound but i don't Know when it will happen. So tonight me and Ashlyn Are going to get some dinner and I guess she is going to drink some type of liquor not my deal but she can drink all she wants. It should be a good time. Once I get CS3 or Cs4 look here for ques to go look at the art blogs for new work.

I fell the need to apologize to some one who will probably never read this because I'm sure i have acted or said things in a way I didn't mean them to sound. The though of being a jerk bothers me more than any of you will know. I have been there and done that in the past. If I have done something in the last few weeks to come across this way I am deeply sorry. I can't help but to admit I am slightly jealous of what you have going for you now. I guess or wish what you have could be me but it does not always work the way we want it to. Or in this case I wanted it to. On an up note work is super relaxed and I get to work on stuff for the website tomorrow nothing like going through the old work to see what we want to use to promote the business. Hopefully I will have Illustrator on this mac soon so I can start working up some new portfolio work. I guess me and Ashlyn are going to hang out at some point tonight not sure what we will do I guess we will figure it out when it gets to that point. That's all for now.

Day 2. 4/13/09

Welcome to day 2. I had a rather mindless day at work. It sucked in the long run I went in an hr. late and left an hr. early. Nothing better than a six hour day. Oh well I did get to come home and cook some tacos and watched the 40yr old virgin. Not a bad Monday night or at least the start of one. Next on my list of things to do for the night put dishes in the dish washer and but my tax papers in the mail. This one was short don't have a lot to say.

Starting a new blog. 4-12-09

I am starting a new blog for the ramblings of my mind on days when i have time to sit still. So seeing as it is Sunday and I don't have anything going on its time to type. I cant wait till i can install some sort of adobe software on my new computer. I am felling the urge to do my own design work again. I have been finding inspiration in the work of the people at WWW.GOMEDIA.COM. This weekend I went ot watch a band that my friend Amanda manages play and happened to have my camera so I took pictures on Friday night after the show the drumer Ty demed me the bands photogropher "free shows" ill take it. If any one is in the columbus area and has a chance to see Pointless( http://www.myspace.com/point0less)play you should see them. Ill post some of the pictuers they will be befor editing shots so dont look to close. I might offer some of my design skills to these fellas if they start needing flyers and T-shirts. I have been working on my house trying to get the grandmaw look out of here and more of my self in. I have finaly mounted my skateboards to the walls and hung some patings up. I want to replace some of my stuff with some of my art school cohorts. So on an ending note I will supply any of you who may read this with some links to some art, music and and insperatinal qoutes.
