Weekend synopsis

Good morning Mr. Blogger,
SO, what shall I impose upon you today….? Maybe how I’ve rediscovered Serj Tankian and Scars on Broadway’s albums yesterday and how I really loved them? OR how RIGHT NOW..Im listening to Staind’s new album hoping that it’ll be as good as their debut album? I could talk about how I got Steve Martin’s Banjo pickin album (yes the comedian) and it’s really good…if you like fiddelin and pickin grass roots music…yeah.


I’ll just give a brief synopsis of my weekend… Friday night……….I don’t really remember but I did mow some lawn, have some beers and jumped on some trampoline with some kind named Smally. Saturday I got to dig in some dirt and do some landscaping to make areas of the property more mow’able, and what else… Smally had a friend over, Nate, and they had some fun…you guessed it, on the trampoline. I tried a bike ride from Norton to Apohaqui. It’s about 20 km in total as the seagull flys so yeah… I did it and I’ll try it again as soon as my knee’s feel better and my ass doesn’t hut so much….. Sunday….Josh had a Cadet parade and aaward ceremony, it was awesome and won a trophy for either being really handsome or for being Too awesome… One of the two.


I didn’t draw this weekend BUT Smally did. He drew a Mario image that I forgot to bring to scan. BUT I’ll do it this evening as to not deprive all of his fans. BUT I’ll upload an old drawing of mine in the mean time.



until tomorrow

Ryans Studio

Remember a few weeks ago, I did a photo shoot because Ryan needed someone fat to pose for him, WELL, here are two images of the studio with 3 prints up.

Smally's Good time big fun drawing Mania

Good morning Mr. Blogger,


So, I got my drawing on with Smally last night and it was awesome. He drew a monster ravaging everything, poor lil blue people didn’t stand a chance after Smally gave the monster fire…. Poor poor bastards.



And I, as you may have guessed drew another monster guy/thingy/fella, BUT I didn’t draw his legs as I was unsure as to how I wanted them to look. Meh, if’s he’s gotten by this long with being an eater of all things meat, he can manage without legs….or can he…??? (insert suspenseful music here)


I think I’m gonna include some old art in here as well for no reason in particular, BUT what ones will I add?? With me there always seems to be a question with many choices. Should I add skulls? Should I add more monsters, Do I have anything that’s not either of the previously mentioned???? Shit, I don’t know…I drew a flower once many years ago.
Screw it, I’ll add skulls and monsters. You know it’s all FTW!

Drawing with Smally

K...where's that picture poster/maker button switch.....?

Good morning Blogger machine,
Well, let me see. I, last night, was again drawing. Can you believe it. After a few month drought, I’m back at it and let me tell you Blogger, it feel’s some good. I’m beginning to feel the onset of that right hand middle finger caulis, OH how I’ve missed it. It just feels so good to be back at it, sketching and scribbling in my lack-luster sort of way. So I drew a monster fella big guy thingy. I love working on anatomy, be it exaggerated or not, it’s just fun to feel the flow of the muscle and line weight fall out of your pencil.

My son Keelan and I are gonna rock out some images this evening and I can’t wait. I’ll have to post the fruits of our labor tomorrow. His and mine. He’s 8 years old and is already better then I was at 12. Keelan, who from here on out will be known as Smally, has a future in the trade. At 6 he understood perspective and now has a really good grasp of shading, (still working on highlights tho) Smally loves to draw more than me, BUT he loves the trampoline more, especially when I’m bouncing on it with him. Imagine it, my fat ass of 220 lbs and Smally’s 60 pound frame??? I make him bounce higher then I am tall and it’s funny as hell. He loves getting air, and you should see his front flips.

But yeah, I’m learning to draw, Smally is learning to draw and this blogger machine digital newspaper thingy may end up being about drawing more than writing which was my original plan… or maybe both?!?!!

Also…I’d like to give a big Shout out to MS WORD’s Spell checker. Your awesome and you help me make less mistakes.

Until tomorrow

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...?

My 4 day weekend.

Good morning nobody in particular,How was your weekend? Mine you ask? Well, it was AWESOME.
Friday: Woke up early, Carrie and I went into town to pick up our rental, a Pontiac G5, not bad. The seats were bucket’y. I mowed some of the lawn, jumped on some of the tramampoline and had an all around good Friday.

Saturday: Hit the road for Halifax, made a few stops along the way, coffee, bathrooms and such. Got to Hali, checked into our room, dropped off our stuff, got into the elevator and there was a fella there. Red plaid pants, Black Wife beater and a Purple Top Hat. The randomness was staggering. We then got some food’eroo and then hit the tattoo convention. I felt like I had finally come home… Checked out the booths, Checked out artists, smelled some brandings going on, made me want BBQ, then stayed around for the Rob Hill Side show. It was more funny then anything. HE did the face skewer bit, the block head bit and his fire breathing was awesome. Had a boy of 6 staple a 5 dollar bill to his stomach. Good times.After that, we hit my buddy Steve’s for some BBQ and it was great. Good food, good people. That night Carrie and I hit a movie, Angels and demons, and then called it a night.

Sunday: Woke up, went for a stroll, hit the Freak Lunchbox and then made out way home.

Monday: Chilled out for a bit, Went to our good Friends Waylon and Kelly’s for some BBQ and had some laughs and some drinks and hit the road again for home. Relaxed the rest of the evening and here I am today…. Another work week…
Meh, see ya tomorrow.

Books and nothing

So, here we are, it’s Thursday, and Im off for 4 DAYS. Chill out on Friday, Tattoo convention in Halifax on Saturday, BBQ with my buddy Steve and the fam on Sunday, and Monday is still up in the air being a holiday and all. I am looking forward to the weekend tho. I look forward to getting into the “Freak Lunchbox”, the most wonderful confectionary store I’ve ever had the privilege of getting into, and also, Seeing what kind of jewelry they have at the convention. Excitement.

So yesterday, I mentioned that I’s maybe talk about books, and I know what your thinking..” Jeremy, you’ve changed your mind havn’t you?? YOU DINK!” But alas, I have not. It’s nice to see that you have so much faith in me. It’s YOU google machine that is the “Dink” as it were…are….is?! yeah.

SO, What do I like to read you ask? Well, it kind of runs the gambit of authors and genera. So I’ll just start with some Books that I really like shall I??
Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ’s childhood pal. By Christopher MooreThis is one of those books that makes you LOL and also, like movies, make you quote lines from it. You know how in the bible, Jesus goes from being a Kid to an adult in like one page? Well this fills in those 29 years that we miss out on.Jesus and Biff go on a search for the 3 wise men who had come to see him at his birth so he can learn how to become the savior. Really, to sum it up, 3 things: The creation of Sarcasm, Concubines, and Jesus and Biff become Kung Fu Masters….

World War Z: An Oral history of the Zombie war By Max Brooks (Mel Brooks’es son)This book is brilliant. Written as an oral history, it is the first person accounts of the survival of the Great Zombie Invasion. As it’s TOO much to write, but not something you should miss out on if your interested. Wiki has a shit load of stuff on it. Have a look at the cast for the audio book…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z

And one more…. Hmm…? Harry Potter? Septimus Heap? Artimus Fowl? LotR? Fight Club? or better Yet Survivor? Meh, who knows…BUT I have to get to work so I’ll see yas all on mon…no, Tuesday.
