I want to draw very badly, but I have a lot of museums to go to. It is my destiny to see the rest of the Imperial War Museum, the Tate Modern, and the British Museum, along with the Bovington Tank Museum. Monday, I'm going to see Iron Man with some friends, and at some point, I'm supposed to see some Kung Fu movies with my friend. I don't think I have enough time.

ARGH!

I was hoping that I'd get to update while I was in London but it looks like my schedule is full of gay cultural shit, so I won't probably be updating while I'm out. Sorry, I hate to be a slacker like that. It's not like I'm a great artist or anything anyway, but still.

Looking forward to seeing some William Blakes at the Tate Modern and getting my tank on at the Bovington Tank Museum:)

So like, I suck at inking. I never thought about it much before, but I totally blooooooow at it.

Anyone have any guidelines they can point me to, or any tips or pointers? My attempts to use variable line weight result in fail.

So...

I color my drawings on a laptop. I thought the colors I picked were okay (for some things but I'm shit with coloring in the first place).

And then I got myself a second monitor so I could work on stuff without a million tool windows open on what I was doing.

Now, mind you, I'm bad with color in the first place, but GAWDDAMN, was the color off. My laptop's monitor is dim as fuck and a little desaturated. My greens were not intended to be eye-rape neon. So sorry about that.

I just adjusted the color on some of my stuff and updated my submission files.

Hello! This isn't for me (y'all don't want my stuff anyway), but for a friend.

Yes, this is yet another APB for help from the furry community - it seems like the US economy is not treating us all so well, eh? - but I'd like to think that some of us more fortunate furs would help out our friends in need. I know I like to, and try to when I can.

One of my favorite artists on FA needs some financial help. I think she's a great artist with a lot of potential - just check out her gallery - and she is going through tough times. Something that would help is a few good commissions, or DoughNations, if you're feelin' kindhearted.

Check out  TwistedAsylum's page for more details on her situation and to commission her.

Peace out!

So, this weekend I got some art supplies.

I picked up a package of Copic multiliners, since I've seen everyone and their ma raving over Copics on FA. Are the liners any good? Anyone care to share their experiences? I think Lilttledoll uses them, but other than her, I don't know of anyone who actually has them, just people who drool over them. I've been using Microns, and they bleed a lot, which is fail. I hope the Copics are at least a little better.

I also picked up a Tria for filling in large black areas. I am already in love with it. It shore got a purty mouth.

I still suck at inking with my wacom, so I'm going to ink traditionally for a while still. I'm practicing with drawing and inking on my wacom by redrawing girls from these Japanese bondage pornos I have. It's all good fun.

In sum: Huzzah!

This weekend, my boyfriend and I realized that we had never drawn a midget before, so... We each decided to draw one last night at midnight.

Here's mine:

Hola.

I have been really into things other than writing in Le Journal lately, so I'm going to take a wee break from it, I think. I reserve the option to discontinue this madness at any point in time.

This weekend: Not as much art as I'd like. I watched RAMBO in the Cineramadome at the Arclight. I was not so impressed with the Cineramadome, as there was a man sitting on front of me who sat perfectly upright the whole time in his chair and had to be one of the tallest people in the theater. I took a picture with my phone. He took up about 35-40% of the screen. When the title sequence ran, all I saw was "R__3O". Sadly, I was unable to move because the Cineramadome has assigned seating. Ugh.

So I leaned over onto Boyfriend's shoulder for the entire movie so I could see the center of the screen, at least. This probably looked more romantic than it was. I'm sure that the body count of the movie I saw was a little less than the one that everyone else saw, but it's all good. At least I didn't get a crick in my neck.

When I was 18, I rented all of the Rambo movies from the local video rental store and watched them all at once, feeling as though I had missed out on some of the vital, testosterone-laden schlock of the eighties in my insulated, lesbian-plagued childhood. I've since had this long-standing theory that the quality of a Rambo movie is indirectly proportional to how much John Rambo talks. I forced Boyfriend to watch the first two Rambo movies about a year ago, but the third one was just plain bad, so I was merciful and didn't make him watch it. The second one was also pretty bad, but there was enough good violence in it for me to show it to Boyfriend. I'm not sure he will forgive me, as it was worse than I had remembered.

Anyway, this brings us back to the recently released RAMBO, which we saw Friday night. I heard it would be satisfactorily violent, so I wanted to see it, and we did.

**** WARNING SPOILERS****

I really wish I was 20 minutes late or something. I hate Christians in the movies. Christians are annoying to begin with, but when someone writes a Christian character, they're always overwritten and horrible. Granted, Christians are pretty horrible to begin with, but even when I'm supposed to be sympathetic to their character in a movie, I can't be, because they have AWFUL dialogue delivered by someone who sounds like they're reading the daily specials out loud off of a sandwich board.

More on this later.

Anyway, after the annoying beginning of the movie, the killing got rolling. I was pleased with the authenticity of the dead things and the EXPLODING HEADS and LAND MINE BINGO and other fabulous violent pieces of the movie. Boyfriend and I weren't sure that Rambo would be able to move his arm after getting shot in the shoulder, but we're willing to suspend our disbelief if there's HEAD 'SPLODY and giant bombs. FUCK YEAH.

I am only sad that the good asian guy got killed. This was made up for ahead of time by the part where pigs ate a guy's legs. I mean, that was awesome. Boyfriend was worried that they wouldn't go there, but they did. Oh, yes, they did.

Boyfriend had to work this weekend, so I had lots of free time to accomplish something, but no. I accomplished nothing. I sat around and downloaded things off of the internets and installed Photoshop and chatted with people online. I slept and wrote and drew a little bit and masturbated. I ate old trail mix. I did nothing.

That's not too bad, really, but my art anxiety increased. Maybe I will get an art ulcer.

Anyway, Boyfriend got home early on Saturday and instead of making art, which was the plan, we got In-N-Out and watched some flims. Boyfriend had gotten Deep Cover for me from Netflix because of a secret project I have been working on recently, and we watched this first. After watching it, I still can't quite get why he wanted me to see it so badly, because I am not trying to bust a presidential candidate for Artgentina or whatever, but I do like Laurence Fishburne and I have a girl boner for Jeff Goldblum. Larry Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum made the movie - otherwise, it was a piece of shite with a few good lines, and it appeared to be filmed entirely at the corner of Cahuenga and Hollywood, which is really close to my home. We recognized nearly every location in the film. I could probably avoid seeing Clarence Williams III being a Christian again, because it was horrible. Seriously, horrible. Everything that everyone hates about Christians was all in this movie. He was a hypocritical asshole with mysterious motives who just talked about God a lot and wasn't a really convincing character. It was gay in the driveway.

Fuck you, Clarence Williams III. Fuck your "acting". And your hair.

After Deep Cover, which made me want to fuck Jeff Goldblum more, we watched Trail of Blood:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202007/

a fine samurai exploitation film from 1972 featuring Yoshio Harada:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0361757/

a man I can't decide whether he repulses me or I am attracted to him (I have a similar fascination with Ernest Borgnine's teeth). Yoshio Harada plays Jokicihi of Mikogami, and everyone wants his cock. After marrying the first lady he runs into who wants his cock, he marries her, and tries to go straight, abandoning his drifter lifestyle to sit around making combs all day. His combs are so nice that his local distributor tries to get him some more work in a nearby province, but he's attacked by enemies from the past, and since he doesn't try to fight back in hopes that they'll leave him alone and he can continue eking out a sad, domesticated existence with his wife and their young son, the guys beat him up and mutilate his fingers. Jokichi is badass, though, and gets pissed off at them, cuts off his own mutilated fingers, and manages to get back home, only to find that his wife has been raped and murdered and their son has been killed.

Uh-oh. You SO DIDN'T GO THERE.

So it looks like this is a trilogy where Jokichi will get back at all of the yakuza bosses who killed and raped his wife. I didn't keep a body count on this movie, but it's pretty high. He's no Ogami Itto, but he's alright.

Last night, we watched part two, in which more women want Jokichi's cock and some more dead yakuza. I also got some buttsecks and I cut Boyfriend's hair. We ordered pizza again. I am getting more fat. Ugh. I need to go back to the gym.

Back to work. I got shit to do.

And I should be uploading something dirty tonight, finally. or tomorrow.

I am taking myself to see the Murakami exhibit at Moca today, and then I'm going to go shoot guns and watch Point Break Live.

Last night, we dressed up like ninjas and went bowling.


YAY I AM OLD.

Dear Wacom,

I recently purchased one of your products and I must say, holy poops, Batman! I exuded a massive amount of girl goo onto the office chair that I was sitting on while, in about three hours with my new Wacom tablet, I've nearly completed painting something in Photoshop, and it looks amazing so far. The last time I used Photoshop, it was with a mouse two weeks ago, and it took me four or five times that time to get less than decent results.

So, all I have to say is, fuck you, Wacom. Fuck you for making a fucking product that you've made so goddamned prohibitively expensive that most artists can't actually afford them. Being an artist is unrewarding enough, but since any hack with money can go to art school and claim that they're an artist when they can't draw a fucking lollipop to save their life, you'd think that you'd want to make your patented technology affordable for the rest of us plebes so at least we'd make your shit look good. Imagine all of the poor, sad artist fucks who work in sandwich shops to put themselves through junior college to earn a degree in business or whatever because they can't afford to go to art school, and how much more visible their art would be if only they could afford your stupid product. The world would be more attractive if you actually gave a shit about artists, but you don't. Douchebags. Fuck you. Keep selling your fucking tablets to businesses who assrape artists and work them to death, or to rich kids who don't actually have to have a job and got a funny hair up their ass to go to art school so they can learn how to "be a photographer" or silk screen ironic Three Stooges t-shirts and mooch off of their friends who actually have jobs while they buy designer clothes that look used with their parents' money and get a bunch of tattoos and overpriced hair cuts that will ensure that they are permanently unemployable and attend a bunch of hip LA gallery shows in lofts in downtown LA.

No, I'm not bitter.

But thanks for making such a great product. It would be really cool if I were able to afford one ages ago, before I got old and irrelevant.

Alright, it looks like slow going on the tablet thing, so I'm back inking shit by hand that I was waiting to do with the tablet. Stuff coming soon.

Like, if anyone gives a poop.

Now, I just had my tats touched up and I'm going to get some sleep. GOODNIGHT.

I GOT IT!! YAYYYYYY!!

I bought this for myself just now:

O_o

*touches self*

This weekend I went to see art at the Billy Shire gallery. It was good. I liked it very much.

Then, I drew some pornographic pictures and watched some porn with friends.

Yesterday, I slept a lot, wanked a lot, drew and wrote a lot, and then I got some chicken with Boyfriend ™ and we watched Warm Water Under A Red Bridge, a movie about female ejaculation by Shohei Imamura.

I would like to state for the record that I, for one, am all for this newfangled "booty pop" thing that all of the black girls are doing these days. There should be more of this all around, except if you don't have a booty (Gwen Stefani). I heartily approve.

I like how everyone thinks of it as scat porn. I never considered that, because I think of it as a parody.

*sigh* oh, well :) It is a parody of scat porn. I am aware that it's not high art.

I just cleaned up my house last night. There were bits and pieces of half-finished drawings and pieces from my Halloween costume everywhere.

Dear lord, I need a new sewing machine.

In other news, I get paid next Thursday and I'm going to get a hanvon:

http://voisales.com/items/computer-.....anvon/list.htm

My friend is pretty happy with his. Then I need a scanner and I can start doing some damage on here in about 3 weeks.

Yikes.

I want this:

My birthday is coming up :D

NYE was good. Meat was involved. Unexpectedly, I ended up getting my ass beat (okay, it was a possibility, but not expected). I also administered beatings to some booties. Wild Turkey and Coke was the Pimpbeverage of the evening. Along with the tequila body shots off of some hot Indian chick.

Today: sex (done), sushi (done), leftover brownies (done), Photoshop (My boyfriend says that I am the Boris Vallejo of furry porn. Thanks, Gabe.) (done)

I've been drawing, but I want to try to figure out the motherfucking pen tool to ink some stuff, so new stuff may be a while in coming. Sorry about that :/ I'm not sure if anyone cares.

I have some new scans, I can put those up, but I'm not sure that anyone would care about that, either. So I'll just putter around at my own rate and sort out this pen tool shit and you'll see it when you see it:)
