Sir...If It Is All The Same to You...
Man I am really loving my Wednesdays off. I woke up at noon to start inking this drawing I've had in the pipeline for months. In the afternoon visited Adam Paquette's studio and he showed me how to paint, helping me to get closer to my dream of being able to paint in the style of Men's-Adventure-Magazine-Covers. My intention is to create a painting of Nostradamus and Phar Lap storming Aladdin's Palace on 5th Ave with Pete Wentz on a cherry-picker gaurding the gates - a far cry from my current work:

It's Not Like You're Watching Home Movies...
It would be so hip if I were better at Thai. I get a million times better at reading and speaking Thai when I am over there but when I am back here my skills diminish and I communicate like a drunk three year old because I don't speak Thai to anyone in Sydney.
I'm juggling a few drawings this week - I will post what I can when they are done. I've been messing around with life drawing and oil painting for the past few months which is why I haven't posted anything because things look embarrassingly bad.
Living in the city has made me realise how big a pond this place actually is -I feel like I need to get to know it all over again - like an old friend. In fact, everything in my life is going through a mini renaissance.
I am on ebay looking for obscure 90s video games and gridiron shoulder pads. I got some plans for the next few months.

I Know What You Did
Ever since having a meltdown about how bored and unproductive I've been, I have had a sudden influx of jobs. It seems like there is a God in the blogsphere. I've been consistently busy for a while now and have enough projects running in the background to keep me busy for a while.
Last night, in between jobs, I decided to spend my precious 'me-time' doing something I never get enough time to do anymore:
Sleeping.
For the first time since I started full time work I slept for 12 hours - it was the best thing ever - I even got all nostalgic about the days when I would sleep around 10 hours a night quite regularly. At the moment I am doing at best 4 or 5 hours a night and a couple of winks back and forth on the trains.
I've also just discovered the Graphic Novel section of my local library. I am devouring trade paperbacks everyday, taking advantage of the 15 book borrowing limit. I've been reading a lot of Batman and Superman.
