I've disappeared again I know. But at least I have a slightly better reason than laziness this time. I've been forced into a 13 week employability course with a company called Juniper training (feel free to think badly of them). Basically I sit in a room with a large number of people who can't read or write and discuss the finer points of getting dressed with the aim of helping people get jobs.
To be fair a lot of the people in my group might actually need that help this one man (can't remember the name and probably would not type it anyway). Spent 5 minutes complaining at me that the company would not pay for postage on an application form he had filled in. When I asked why he told me it was -Just- because he had spelt his name wrong and put in the wrong address and scribbled it out. In almost those exact words. On top of this we had one guy arguing with an 'employment officer' (read: teacher) about the legitimacy of the British National Party as a political group rather than a bunch of racist hate-mongers.
All of this said there are reasonable people and fun story's to tell, Including in no particular order claiming to a group of 20 with a straight face that I wanted to work in a sex shop as a dream career stating some innuendo laced reasons. An A3 drawing of 'The very hungry Caterpillar' getting stuck to the wall with glue during a CV building session and getting given Friday off to do an 'external research project' which I can only assume is the teachers having had enough of us collectively for one week. Speaking of which I wonder if writer/journalist would count as a career that I have researched otherwise they will end up disappointed come Monday.
Anyway when I get chance I would really like to expand on some of the fun things that happen while I'm on this waste-of-tax-payers-money course as while I enjoy writing, I really have had no inspiration of late, even with regards to the story I want to write. I guess, writing what you know is better than knowing what you just blatantly made up sometimes.
(oh and it might be noticeable that since my last post, adverts were added and removed, to explain, I was offered money to advertise, I was not happy but needed a bit of cash. After an initial payment I've decided I liked my site better when it wasn't advertising a rubbish company I have never heard of and will never use, as such they have been removed).
Consider that an order as it's great fun, Just watch the fat people waddling around your local supermarket while listening to Fat & Proud and I bet you have trouble stopping your self giggling. Or is it just me that is that sad/cruel?
Anyway, as you may have noticed if your not blind I've made a couple of changes to the look of the site, adding a sort of logo thing and a last.fm widget (that one was mainly because I was bored). Expect more changes in the coming days, this does not mean however that the half hearted posting is going to stop, although it may increase in frequency as I would like to start posting at least once a week to try and get back into a habit of writing here.
On to the required picture.
Yes, I burnt a big line into the back of my hand in an unfortunate toast accident a few days ago, some say it was the wine affecting my toasting judgement some say it was just bad luck, the witnesses really are split down the middle. All I know is my hand hurts and looks horrid, I'll never look at toast the same way again.
I'm tempted to end this in the same way that Three Dog ends his transmissions in Fallout 3, but I'm not going to so, Ciao
Firstly the post title is because this is stuck in my head. Now on to business, I went and made a little picture that you can print off and stick on your fridge if you think it's nice. But much more likely to be fridge worthy is that final piece of 'Fan art' from the other week which I totally forgot about.
First is the thing I drew, originally I wanted to just do a guess the tune picture of The Story So Far by New Found Glory, but I got distracted. I guess it's kind of based on the line:
Is it true that you like to sleep alone?
Or is it what you just tell everyone?
On to the main attraction however, the picture I got sent and didn't post the other week. By the same person as the ones that constituted my only post in April but I saved it for a separate post because it was my personal favourite. Now that's fridge worthy. I believe it teaches us an important fact about apples.
If you think I do these side by side comparison pictures as a lazy way of posting without putting in any effort what so ever, you'd be completely right but at the same time in this case it is one that has been in my head for a long time. I'm posting it now because I watched Little Nicky again for the first time in years earlier today and the similarity's were even better than I thought. So I present to you Peter Petrelli (left) and Little Nicky, son of Satan (right). I'm sure any Heroes fan will agree with me that Peter shouting "Unleash the good!" before firing rainbows from his hands is not really such a stretch. I still have GIMP open so who knows you might even get another post today, but don't hold your breath, you would probably die.
I am back from the dead but at the moment not posting pictures I drew myself. I figure I should apologise too the at least one person who knows this waste of web space exists for me wondering off for a month, I've been oh so busy with training courses, work trials and hospital appointments that I've hardly had time for even the essentials (Left 4 Dead's new Survival mode) On top of all of that following what I considered high praise with regards to a story/book idea I pitched, I'm working on plot lines and crazy spider graphs and such to see if I can develop the idea more. So yes busy, but I'd best stop before people think I'm using the blog properly and not as a place to dump random images.
With out further ado I present to you a short series of 'Fan art'. To get the best experience from this post, open this link in a different tab while you read.
First we have this lovely picture of a Car shaped like a pigeon by a young girl aged 5. You can really see the detail on the door and it's wheels, this picture is a real joy to look at, I could stare for hours only to notice something new.
Now this is an image that quite frankly makes me look bad, notice how the artist has took the time to colour the background and just look at the emotions on the characters faces. Behind all the detail however I believe this drawing has a strong message that I think we can all appreciate. What is next...
Ah, now this is a classic imitation WHR piece, you can only tell it's not a real image because of the higher quality colours and legible handwriting, again this is an emotion filled piece as the artist can't help but shout her love for hairy men across the canvas seemingly getting distracted from the original drawing which I speculate was a picture of Stick Girl Sam getting poked in the eye by an angry cloud... yes, moving on...
I do have one more excellent drawing by the person who did these but I'm going to post it later on along with something I made myself with any luck as I feel like I can't even remember what GIMP looks like.
Don't ask why I did this, but I guess the Gold star and hug rules from my last guessing game post can apply to this if you like, there are two things to notice so award your self either a gold star or a hug for each one you guess. Unlike the last one however there is no file-name clues so I guess, I'll edit in a couple of RIS-links later.
