A Little Something!!

Yeah I know this isn't supposed to be an art blog I have my drawingboard one for that but I thought I'd post this anyway. Unfortunately my 'Nuts and Bolts' blog doesn't automatically resize the pictures so you have to get stuck with a little image and in some cases it loses something in that translation. So rather than have to resize it heres a Bigger version of the Superman picture I posted on the Board.Now I guess your asking yourself will I get back to freelance stories again, I Will. Starting very early in the new year. I've been gathering alot of subjects lately for new posts so hang in there more is coming!

Christmas HUMBUG!!

So its Christmas, Yet Again. But instead of Santa I always get 3 visiting ghosts trying to convince me to give up art and do something boring and useful with my life like accounting. They try to show me nothing good will come of it and that I just won't listen. Maybe I will in 2008.

But anyway you guys and girls all have a safe and Merry Christmas for me, Okay.

Matt The Actor!!

Yeah I know gotta catchup on my Logopolis cartoons. But I have been busy, This week I decided to try my hand at an acting career. And went to an audition for a new movie being made here in Tasmania. I had to learn Irish and did so only to discover that I didn't need it so I was a bit mad.
Infact the whole day was somewhat wasted even with an appointment I waited 3 hours more only to just have my time come and they change the rules on me. Instead of 5 minute Audition I got 5 seconds. To stare down the barrel of a camera and say my name THAT WAS IT!! Theres more to this tale but I won't bore you with the details needless to say even for a professional outfit they can still be unprofessional.

When becoming and Actor, Filling out forms is the first thing to do when going to an Audition.

And then waiting in a queue for 3 hours is no fun!! BORING!!

Thanks to my friend Martin who kept me company and sane for most of the time I was there and also took these photos.

Girl Sketches

So as you know I often visit the park in Salamanca Place to doodle some drawings and get ideas. On wednesday however my usual sketch session turned into a Mugging and I was the mugged. I'm fine still a bit stressed out from the situation, I just realised how much Hobarts gotten unsafe. Anyway on to some art and some sketches of girls for you, hey its better than nothing.Any Likeness of persons living or dead is purely coincidental !! Honest!!

And as for the Latest Poll 'Scarlett Johansson' Tops the Poll WTF are you guys thinking ??? Jennifer Connelly is so muchy more Dishy!!! I suppose I'm lucky I didn't put Paris Hilton on there. Thanks too all those that voted, a New one will be up soon!!

Me and 33

I reached yet another milestone my 33rd Birthday today. With so many talented artists out there I'm finding it increasingly that they are getting younger while I get older and have still gotten nowhere as close to where I want to be professionally or mentally. Sometimes I wonder if its even worth it, the pain and rejection I mean. But I fight on.

I look back at the way things were when I was Six, when kids used a writing impliment called a 'pencil' and every school holidays my sister would take me to the movies to see Snow White, Cinderella, C.H.O.M.P.S or a Gary Coleman film yes I admit it, I loved those. sigh

I also think I'm getting too old to start a family, and I don't think I'll ever find the right kind of girl. But I understand that the Uncle Fester look isn't the best way to gain attention.

So I'm gonna die a sad and lonely old man, I know this. But I'm going to try and pass on as much information on what I'm doing wrong so that everyone who reads this has the chance to do everything the right way!!.

Hmmm or maybe this is dementia setting in already......

LOGOPOLIS NOW!!!

When I decided to discontinue my older strip, I had to fill the gap with something new. I had always liked the occassional 'Peanuts' stuff and so I wanted to go in that direction but rather than have to try and kick a football every week, I wanted to move into subjects and situations that appeal to me and others.
So today I begin my new series of strips entitled 'Logopolis'. I am a real geek boy at heart from Cartoons, TV, Games, Comics and Movies and this latest series will cover it all. So why the name 'Logopolis' ?? if you can tell me without googling it then you are a 'Supreme Geek'.

Although I prefer the Black and White strips you may find the occassional Colour one thrown in. And some of my real friends as well as web friends will be making an appearance from time to time so watchout you may just pop in for a Cameo. I'm really gonna try and have some real fun with this, so I hope you like them.

Whatcha' Lookin At??

So it was a really nice day here in Tasmania, and I decided to head into the city for some R&R. I sat in the Park at 'Salamanca Place' for almost 5 hours Brainstorming some new cartoons for this here blog.

So the Park benches are laid out horribly there. Normally I like a table but for most of the day they were busy. So these benches face each other and you have to sit directly opposite someone else. For awhile there I was mostly on my own then out of the blue this weird guy comes and sits down and starts mumbling to himself. Not only that but tries to see what the hell I' m drawing. I'm an artist who can't stand snoops and I can't draw in front of a crowd so I tried to edge the sketchbook away from prying eyes. I think the old dude was a Dutchy too!!

And heres a tip when its a really hot day wear some sunscreen my heads still a tinglin'.
