Long day at work today. First time I’ve done a full day in months. I’m like a zombie right now completely zonged out. Have been watching a documentary on lobotomies. Nice. Stick an ice pick up your nose or in your eye socket and wiggle it around. Funny how I’m not really opposed to people doing mind altering drugs and fucking themselves over with meds but this just creeps me out. Maybe it’s the aesthetic of it.
Anyway. I have done a few more pages of the ol’ graphic novel thing. Still planning and paneling at the moment but I’m getting there. I love it. I actually feel comfortable with my art now. I feel like I own it, it’s mine, and I get a sense of pride from that.
When I was little I wanted to be a comic book artist. That was it for me. but then I grew up and thought that it wasn’t a “proper” job (whatever the fuck that is). I kind of neglected it and went into this fine art thing whereupon I would constantly get told my drawings were too cartoony or just not art. Now I realise why my stuff was always so different from everyone else’s – I was doing the wrong thing. So Now here I am again doing the cartoon thing and maybe just maybe it could be a “proper” job.
I’m getting so sick of the word job. Jobs and careers. I just want to draw and I draw I will.
I went a little off track there ha. I wanted to put on this sketch of a trio cartoon I did. It’s the first computer sketch I’ve done of the trio. It started off as the real thing and then towards the end I got a little scribbley with it 
I like the style inbetween normal and scribble I think this is where I want to be.
So the idea is that Sam has been brainwashed by Jon into his way of thinking in a clockwork orange kind of style.
I watched a video about the Cintiq 21 inch and drooled over that for a while. Damn if it weren’t so expensive I would so get one. I would probably spend all my time with it just touching it and taking it to bed with me and…wait.
