*yawn*

I'm a glutton for punishment. I must be. I have this shocking headache behind the eyes, but do you think I'll stop looking at the computer long enough for it to clear up? Nup. More paracetamol is what I need :D .. after 4 hours :-/

Anyway, I didn't get ANY inking done last night. I was either driving, eating or fighting with my 10 year old brother Ayden. When I did get home I sat on the couch and within an hour of watching the Blues Brothers with my housemate and her boyfriend to wind-down, I fell asleep on my comfy new two-seater sofa. I hear blue makes you sleep better.. or maybe I just made that up just then, either way I'm sure it's crap :P

If I'm lucky I'll finish the inking by the end of my 30 minute lunch break today, and might even start the colouring after I see Alien Vs. Predator tonight.

Updates as they come :)

Man. I'm buggered. It's been another long day today. I now have to drive approximately 30 mins to see my mum for her birthday *sigh*. Might have to have a couple of "power-naps" on the way up methinks. That is of course if I hope to finish this weeks comic by sunday :P

There. Comic complete. I was actually early too. I finished by 9:40pm.. I managed to get half of this weeks comic inked too, so we should avoid another nasty late comic for this week - at this rate. Going to my mum's tonight for her birthday, should be stuck there for a good 2 or 3 hours. So I should be able to finish the inks for sundays comic at the very least. Best case scenario should see me scanning and smoothing tonight. Of the line work that is. Get yer minds outta the gutter! What? Just me? Ok, nevermind :P

Mmm comfy new BLUE couches..

I didn't quite get it finished, but I got all the base colour and all the backgrounds done for Issue 85. So hopefully that comic will be posted sometime arounf 10 tonight. I have a dinner to go to, after I go to the gym (cos I kinda piked on yesterday's inaugural workout), so I estimate I'll get home by 8 (hopefully!) and then work through till I get it done.

Welll, I hacked my way through it, as I had no real idea how it was going to be laid out (which i think slows me down a lot) but i knew how a few things were going to look for this weeks comic. So, pencils done, and while I'm bored tomorrow when I'm saving some massive files, I'll try to lay out and start pencilling the comic for the week after. :)

You know how I said there would probably be a comic up tonight? Yeah, well, I kinda left my harddrive at work, so I won't be able to finish it tonight. I'll finish it tomorrow at either lunchtime or when I get home from dinner. So tonight, cos I have nothing to on my computer, I'll be magicking up next weeks' pencils :) I might even get to the inking stage :D

So I go for my first REAL workout tonight with my new gym membership! Man I'm gonna be so buff :P

These cherry cartons just keep coming! We're starting to get more orders coming through, so hopefully it will all be over soon. When that time comes I'll post all of the designs I had a hand in creating on here so I can show them off :P

I'll be working on the comic in 15 mins, and hopefully I can get most of it finished. I should be able to totally finish it off after the gym tonight and get most of this weeks pencils completed.

I'll give you an update when news comes to hand.

Oh, beware the full moon ;)

Probablility of a late comic: extremely high. Ok. I'm gonna level with you guys. I don't do comics for a living. In fact it's one of the many things I have to try to fit into my weekly schedule. Now in saying that, let me make it clear that it is not a bad thing, as I love doing to comic very much (keeps me sane), however it is a very time consuming passtime.

This week has been a very hectic one at work. There are lots of art designs for cherry cartons that need to be completed as soon as possible so that we can start finalising orders etc. I won't bore you too much with the technical details, but just know that this past week has totally boned me. I've been using this weekend to chill out, catch up with friends, and do something about my waistline, which has been slowly increasing since the end of the football season. Also now that I'm not playing basketball once a week (and won't be until the end of november) I'm starting to feel the very little lean muscle I did have drain away and be replaced gelatinous fat. Graphic and probably ever-so-slightly exagerrated, but that's how I feel at the moment. So I joined a gym.

I also went out drinking and caught up with my mate who went on last weeks footy trip and spent an inordinate amount of money on frivolous activities all in the name of team bonding and "fun".

I saw Harold and Kumar go to White Castle twice and it made me crave those tiny little burgers that they have in the States. I also bought my mother's birthday present and a new lounge setting for the lounge room (those little beauties don't arrive until tuesday, so I'm a tad excited).

In closing I'd just like to say: I'm not giving you an explanation, just giving you a little window into my life. Don't worry the comic isn't far away, but I think tonight will be spent plotting out the next few weeks worth of comics so that hopefully we can get back to a twice a week schedule. If not that, at least on time once a week comics.

So, yeah, I guess that's all I have to say right now. I'll speak to you soon, have a good week peeps!

SEE THIS FUCKING MOVIE!!!

Just a couple of things. I got offered a 2 week free membership to a gym yesterday. I've been wanting to join a gym for a while now, but neither had the money nor the motivation to do so, so to be offered this was terrific! I have to go in today at 5:45, but do you think I brought proof of id with me? Noooo... cos that would have been smart. The other is all of this work stress and no sport and a shite diet has really fucked with my health. I'm sick.. AGAIN! I'm feeling all fuzzy around the head and I'm struggling to concentrate.. what was a I talking about again? :P

Man, I'm hungry. I'm back on my Weight Watchers diet cos I'm getting fat and I tells yer what, I don't remember it being this hard.

So, I know I haven't blogged in a while, but I'm still getting used to it. I was at work until 11:05 last night. Ok, that's a lie. I went home at 4:20pm and came BACK to work at 5:55pm and then worked until 11:05. I got all of the work that I needed to do urgently done. It relieved my workday workload immensely. I wouldn't be doing it if they weren't paying me though :P I know that sounds selfish, but damn I put a lot of effort into my work - credit (or cash) where it's due I say. New website is coming along well. I've got an almost working copy running on my home PC. This weeks comic, however, going not so well; I think I may have to put a double effort in this week and finish it tonight. After I see Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. After I do some extra stuff at work again. :P I need more mes. Kinda like in Multiplicity. Maybe just the one of me though, I don't think I could stand much more than that of myself. Anyways, I'm gonna get back to work *rolls eyes* only one more Young cherry box to do and then I have to start on Tasmanian cherry boxes. Joy.

Good morning world.

*sigh* another day doing these cherry cartons. *yawn*

I learned later (almost straight away on closer inspection) that the back of her hair (as can be seen in this pic) is in fact fake. It was an attachment of sorts. So I was kinda disappointed by that. But the front of her hair was real and that had the authentic green stripes through it, was quite refreshing actually. I wouldn't be surprised if green became the new pink.

how cool is this chicks hair?

'sup world?

This picture was supposed to be posted with a witty comment, but Telstra decided that it didn't like what I'd written, so they replaced it with an advertisement for their Multimedia Message Service. Bastards.

Why is it that I feel most inspired when at work? Is it that I just want to be doing anything but work that gets me going? *shrugs* Whatever it is, I wish it would repeat itself when I'm at home...

Isn't it funny how too much fruit can give you the shits. Well it's not just the fruit - it's also the boxes they come in. I tell you what, if I have do many more cherry carton designs, I'm gonna be on the toi-toi for a long, long time.
