Well, of late i have been up to lots, i say lots in the most generic of ways, i mean really even at rest our homeostatic processes still continue to maintain our metabolic rate constantly, and in reality i haven't achieved much more than that, but as a result of a distinct lack of work coming my end of the court i have had the opportunity to draw like a madman, with varying degrees of success... quite a few cartoons especially, and have definitely been influenced by my art based copains. In addition to this my latest 'GIMP stint' has also given me another tool to use at my disposal, which is always handy, especially when my comic book layout leaves a significant amount to be desired...
The first is inspired by my best friend Joe, who spends far to much time in the shower, allowing me (among others) to speculate what in blazes he actually gets up to in there...

The majority of my doodles and drawings has generally consisted of pages of Pokemon', because quite frankly they are a tad AWESOME, also i am seething that I am unable, due to both a lack of a DS (which I had to sell in order to feed myself at university) and money.
In short a FUCKING MASSIVE WASP has decided to cohabit alongside the rest of my family, making its filthy nest of looming death in my roof space, alongside artifacts from my youth including my TMNT figures, man I bloody hate wasps, yes they are a magnificent example of an obligate gregariate arthropod (bugs that die if they don't live in groups) but their swively heads beady 5 eyes and that menacing stare which the continue to maintain even after death causes the inner recesses of my mind to shudder uncontrollable, they make me cringe, so the thought of several hundred swarming above my head is little more than terrifying...

I've also been honing my cartooning somewhat, granted it still has a long way to go, but i cant help but notice that my drawing  ability has been bettered by my prolonged unemployment somewhat... these are some quick sketched of mainly my dog, but Joes puppy Clifford, had to make an appearance (as per usual)

Oh! one of the few things i have actually done is finally managed to sit down and watch My neighbour Totoro (finally) which although not much actually happens in the film is still somewhat enchanting in its nature (also i totally want that catbus) and has seen some appearances in my doodles...
 and around the house....
I wonder if those seeds will start growing now?
