Drawing and movies

Good morning Google Machine,
So what will the topic of interest be today?? Hmmm?? I could discuss the disgusting length my hair is getting? Hippy like in fact. I could talk about some movies I want to see this year such as,
“District 9” (http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/district9/ )
OR “Must read after my death”
(http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/mustreadaftermydeath/ )
“Moon” (http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/moon/ )
or…one more….
“Special” (http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/special )

These are def on my must watch list. They all look so good. District 9 puts an interesting view on prejudice and racism. “Must read after my Death” allows a look into decades of video and audio of family strife and resolve. But “Moon” and “Special” take a look at mental illness and the way the mind will fuck you over and piss on you while you’re venerable… Just watch the trailers I’ve linked to different Google machine pages.

SO, I did some drawing last night after a long slump/hiatus. I was chatting with my buddy Pat yesterday and ….he just has this knack for inspiring me to draw, or at the very least, planting the seed of interest. So I drew this monster/alien thingy and it turned out OK. It just felt good to draw. Like anything I do, by the end of it, I was sweating and out of breath…and my hand was cramped….funny, there was even a mess to clean up, but it was only eraser shavings.I’f I knew how to put pictures on the Blogger machine, I’d put it up for you all to ooooo and ahhhhh over, BUT I don’t know the secrets of it yet…
Till Tomorrow.

Wait...what does this button do...?

Something to make you LOL

So what will it be today? Again, in this attempt to hone and re-develop my writing skills, I’ll try to add a snippet here about my daily comings and goings. I sit here with my Large double double, thinking, but not really being thoughtful of my goings on’s yesterday. I did what I do every day. The same ol humdrum existence of an IT worker….EXCITING.

I could start with me coming up with a new book I want to begin, but as it’s still in the conceptual stages, I’ll not share it just yet, (but really…who reads this.) I could also go into candid detail about trying to find a cool and useful commuter bag as I need a new one really bad, BUT there is very slim pickin’s here in the little burb that is Saint John.

But I’ll start here. My good friend Ivon sent me an email yesterday asking me if I’d be interested in …..are you sitting down and ready for a laugh?... good….. Modeling. I can’t even type that out without giggling. I mean…COME ON!!!!, I’m devastatingly handsome..BUT COME ON!!!! But the ting was he was serious. (he he) So the email read..

“I have a friend that needs a male model with a bit of an edge... tattoos and such..You up for it? ... he needs an image for his studio to balance out the images on his wall...Lets just say he has on too many women on the wall....
I was thinking a shot of you ... showing your back looking over your shoulder... B&W...Anyways... he is a wizard with photoshop....”


So after being flattered a little, I really gave it some thought… and you know how famous artists go through various stages in their creativity?” working with different mediums, styles, subject matter? Picaso and his blue period? Jackson Pollock and his “Action Painting” or Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his lengthy period of Impressionist style, (mind you that was his main style but it was as I had said…a lengthy period) Well I think the photographer is going through one of those periods.

I’m thinking that it is his fat period. He may call it “Fat with an edge”
BUT needless to say, it should be interesting. I’ve never modeled with a professional before (I know what you saying..”BUT jerm…you so handsome, you’ve got to be kidding us???” ) Well Im not. And I haven’t. It's a good thing as Ivon says "he's a wizard in photoshop". I'll get him to add muscles and remove flaws and add a bigger ....erm...wait...so yeah...where was I...

SO Yeah, I’ll keep you posted on how that turns out and hopefully this time next year I’ll be able to look back on the experience and say “I wish they hadn’t laughed so hard when I took off my shirt…”

Jerm
