Honey from Red Licorice

Something to Behold

It's certainly Something to Behold having someone wear a tshirt that you have personally designed. Ed got the Don Knotts tee for his birthday, and has told me that the Quality is A-1 thanks for the Picture and feedback Ed!

Red Licorice

Red Licorice is a Book Concept I want to put together and get published of more than 100 Beautifully Posed Gorgeous Lady Illustrations its gonna be Page to Page Girly Art and no crap like text from Art Historians talking about how this was made or them liking the sound of their own voice rather than the main thing like I dunno some ART. I really Loved Bill Presings books and the way he had designed and presented them!

Unlike Bill though I dont have the cash to drive something like this and the fact of the matter is I've been told that no-one would buy my artwork in book form and I know that is alot of BS. What do you think because if people make enough noise those high enough will listen!!

Jason King

Played by Peter Wyngarde in two British TV series, Department S and JASON KING. He was an adventurer and womaniser who then wrote his adventures in Crime Novels becoming a successful author of Mark Kane Adventures. This is my Second attempt at Jason a much better likeness overall from the previous version!

Marvels in PrismaColor

Some Quick Sketches today, Back at Comic-Con Last year I was given some Fineliner Pen samples from PrismaColor. Which I only just recently found so decided to finally use them and get some usage. I actually really like them especially the Browny off Black. The other colour I have is a Green but it wasn't until much later I realised I should have drawn the Hulk in that Colour. Whoops!! Sorry Mr. Hulk Please Don't Smash Me!

Crazy Old Italian Guy!

I've been meaning to post this for weeks When I returned from Melbourne a month ago I caught the bus the next day into town to fix some horrible government thing and it took the long way around. It picked up this Grumpy old Italian Guy who was just telling everyone off and complaining. I have no idea what he was saying but he had a cane and started waving it around like he was gonna hit someone. He had such an amazing grumpy face I just had to pull out my sketchbook and draw it.

STAR TREK & the $20 Hat!!

I got to see STAR TREK on saturday, been avoiding alot of the reviews for it. Its strange to watch a film that has the great backstory with an all new cast. It had certainly the most explosive Beginning that would make Michael Bay Happy or even Jealous he never thought of it first.

For the Majority of the Film I had no major problems, it was a fun ride for the most part only stopping to try and fill in some hole that was very deep. I felt some action scenes looked tacked on and a few 'Coincidences' too many.

The Special Effects were Spectacular and the Actors for the most part were convincing enough for me to believe I were watching the original characters Stand Outs for me were Leaonard Nimoy called Spock Prime in the Credits? Chris Hemsworth as Father of Kirk (for what little screen time he had and happens to be a good Australian Actor for once!) Chris Pine as Kirk was Great hes No Hayden Christenson and THAT is a Good thing!! Karl Urban as McCoy Channelled Deforest Kelley to a Tee and Quinto at times seemed to become the NEW Spock.

The characters of Sulu, Uhura and Scotty were somewhat let downs. I Can tell you I am a HUGE Simon Pegg Fan and to see this terrible performance from him was disappointing. I expected more Yes there were comedy moments with the character especially with his little sidekick (Get Down!!) but not for a minute did I think of the Scotty of Old...... was this a good thing well time will tell in future I hope! Sulu and Uhura were never my favorites anyway but checkov ended up suprising me even if they did try to make him as Brainy as Mr Spock. Oh and Eric Bana's turn as the villain was........ Uneventful but not as bad as the one in Nemesis whatever happened to that Guy?

My friend Martin who accompanied me also a Star Trek fan, did not like the Alternate Universe Spin that the movie seemed to want us to believe in. I'm Not sure myself It NEEDED the reboot but I liked the Old Spock in this Universe trying to prevent disaster but then....... you have to remember in Trek Law they also have a Time Police System setup to stop such a major change in the timeline from happening. This happened in ST: Voyager....... Do I sound a bit too Geeky?? yeah I guess so.

The Movie Star Trek is a Fantastical Enjoyable Popcorn Romp and One that I would watch again with a 4/5 from me. Also as the Subject Title suggests I could have indeed bought a Star Trek Hat for $20 with a Popcorn Combo but since I don't eat Popcorn it really sucked so I wasn't able to do so Wish they had more variety in those Combos thank eveything having Popcorn.

Onto other Matters and I have revoked the ability to Post Anonymously in the blog comments. I don't mind debate but seriously theres no need to be rude about things YES this is my blog I'll say what I like when I like. If you have a Problem then talk to me about but Don't be a Dickhead. I'm willing to back my beliefs as we all should and thats all I'll say on the matter.

ShakeDown!

At the Beginning of this week, I mentioned a few things about what my future might be. And its not exactly Bright! I guess things cannot be shown to be more Dire as the Fact that my website is gone due to non payment. I'm very ashamed that this has happened and I was very lucky to have had the extra time I did. I'm lucky that I have any internet at all still to do these updates.

Anyway I'm back in talks to have the website restored once I have enough money within the next week or so and contact those who host me. I'll try and work on a new Layout for it too.

But you know this is exactly why I set up this Blog for to show that the Struggles of an Artist can be just that a real Struggle.
