Few days away from computer. Probably will be away a few more. Posted notes for the last few days. Schedule getting hectic but fun

Miss meh music from the 90s. Not a lot of hip-hop, alt rock or pop sound like they did back then.

As much as I like an urban landscape, nothing beats enjoying lush green bushes and trees.

We used to bite bullets with the pig-skin casing
Now we perfect slang like a gang of street masons (uh)
Scribe check make connects
True pyramid architects (yeah)
Replace the last name with the X (X)
The man’s got a God complex
But take the text and change the picture
Watch Muhammad play the messenger like Holy Muslim scriptures
Take orders from only God
Only war when it’s Jihad
See Ali appears in Zaire to reconnect 400 years
But we the people dark but equal give love to such things
To the man who made the fam’ remember when we were kings

Blocks on fire (Block’s on fire tonight)
Fiends getting higher (uh-huh)
Robbing blue collar
(Hey yo we rob them blue collars)
Killing for a dollar (Stick ‘em up)
Youths get tired (Ali ah yeah)
We’re dealing with them liars (Ali ah yeah)
(We’re dealing with too many liars)
From Brooklyn to Zaire (uh-huh ah yeah)
We need a ghetto Messiah (ah yeah come on)

Send me an angel in the morning, baby
Send me an angel in the morning, darling
Send me Muhammad in the morning, baby
Send me an angel in the morning, darling

The Goddess. I never really collected the Wonder Woman comics but I liked the hero. I always felt like she was the wrong colour though, more brown than white you know? She completes the trinity of the DC hero pantheon. Imight switch it up tomorrow or not, depends.

N joy!

Yeah. Everyone loves Batman. That Dark Knight is my personal favourite hero of all time. Counterpoint to superman who works with hope batman uses fear to drive his point. he satisfies that part of us that wants to take it into our own hands to righteously do what needs to be done when the system and society seems incapable of righting the wrongs. Of course that is a dangerous gamble, some of those people we call criminals.

Tomorrow gold bracelets.

Was debating skipping this week and just post a big bunch this weekend but ah heck with it. Enjoying these cute little creatures that are invading my sketchbook atm. Might try these as the new format for Pooraj and Mammo strip ( ahem Warren!).

The promo image is for the back of my sketchbook for class. Sketches after the jump.

N joy!

Of course everyone wants to fly. Superman was never my favourite superhero. I always respected him though. The “epitome of otherworldly power” is what I remember superman being called in some comic I cannot recall atm. Yeah I can google it but where is the fun in whoever reading this satisfying their own curiosity.

This continues me exploring a different style again. I suppose I still cannot let go of my sketchy lines so in a somewhat schizophrenic way I have the two merged here. Guess which superhero cometh tomorrow?

Hint.. daaaaaaaaak

It is fun to remember that part of you that was young.  I uploaded this fairly late, forgot to in between school assignments. I will be having fun with a new art style next few days. Hope you guys enjoy them.

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just dont know
How to, go about gettin it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin my soul

Just thought I would let go and draw whatever on this one. I think still mimic a number of styles I like. I will continue to try this out more and more over the period I plan to do these dailies, see where it ends up. I do seem to like drawing big ear people though.

Fun!

I suppose this image is not nearly as koskelle as it could be but I just wanted to freak out with some colours. I was originally going to make this cutesy kind of thing and thought I would twist it around.

Enjoy the weekend!
