100 percent chance of Rain and Road rage



Some old punisher art work I haven't really shown this piece to anyone. So here's as good a place as any. So this weekend was pretty much awesome. My good friend Tamera from ages past whom used to live in South Caroline came to Manhattan and we get to hang out for quite a bit of time. watched a few movies and best of all she dyed my hair.... pictures later. But yeah she dyed it black in the front dark read in the back. So far i really like it. She left today when I wasn't hanging out with her because she had many people to catch up with here in ol Manhattan. I was either working or spending that time with Cherry.

This is also when i found out that one of my co-workers can drink like a fish. O.o totally put away most of the liqueur that I had brought over when me and Cherry disappeared into the ice cold frigging night for periods of 30 to 40 min apparently. We didn't really catch the time passing. I must admit I have a Cherry addiction now. :D After work today I went and helped her move into her new house which is up several flights of stairs and got to meet the famous pizza guy from California named Johnny lol. We got Pita pit afterwards I gotta say that Falafle Pita's are just the most amazing things ever.

I recently came to the conclusion that I must be a bad driver. But others if offended can be 90% worse. So I forgot to check my blind spot coming home for work today maybe to to the fact I was on the cell phone. But apparently someone had be trying to get the same place as me and I cut them off. I didn't even know work was long and I was just trying to get home and take a shower when I heard honking and saw this guy in my rear view mirror swerving through traffic and he speeds up right next to me. I had the window down and he proceeds to say something to this effect. "You stupid mother F***er get off the f***ing phone and pull the f*** over and park before you hurt someone you f***ing retard!" I actually am pretty sure this man whom had a K-state alumni sticker , k-state jacket, and hat and apparently mouth spewed out at me while swerving next to me because he wasn't watching the road in front of him while he was yelling at me and I was apologizing for my mistake and thinking to myself my indiscretion while bad does not warrant such a display of brazen road rage. and He speed off afterwards... I was on the phone with my dad at the time and he was just amazed lol.

In the most awesome news ever the weather man today on the radio said there was a 100% chance that there would be rain tomorrow. O.o seriously when have you ever heard a weather person say anything with such confidence especially in Kansas. If I was a weatherman in Kansas I would surely just assume that the weather has a mind of it's own and there little I could do to predict it. Well that's all for now.

Far to early for Yosakoi

Well today was pretty long for sure. I had to get up at 9 to drive to Salina to preform for yosakoi. It was a great performance really we were preforming for a group of female leaders. One whom was a speaker from K-state named Grace from Taiwan. Her speech was moving and I was so glad I got to experience both. Afterwards I met with Akiko and Diana for some ice cream which I got for free cause I know the manager :D. Then on to yosakoi meeting I'm still trying to figure out how I can make it to Japan. But I was so so tired from staying up too late and getting up too early when Tamera made her way here after hanging out for a bit we went out for a meal and then she had to go off and hang out with a friend of hers. I got to chat with cherry about our adventures the night before. Always fun. Then i finished the artwork i was working on for you to see now. Pit from Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Japan update

Well Tamera will be coming up today this evening in fact. It will be good to see here again after all this time. I always enjoy it when old friends resurface. This picture to your left I drew a while ago and only recently colored it's starfire from teen titans. Getting ready to leave for Salina to preform Yosakoi for a school i think O.o I can't remember. Apparently, we still have practice tonight. As far as going to Japan I don't think I'll be able to pull it this year with what I owe for credit cards, my parents, my school loan and my other loan. Kinda sad This trip sounds like it will be a great deal of fun from what I have heard of the plans. But you never know if i can raise 1400 in a week :D well a little less than that I have raised a significant amount myself so far. In other news been hanging out more with Cherry took her out for dinner and a study break two nights ago and just hung out with her last night. Always good times and lots of laughter there. But yeah more to come catch you all later :D

Living the life

Starting off today with Pit from Super Smash Brothers Brawl... Cause that game rules. Some might call me lazy or that I hold no grip on what real life consists of but these are just all horrible misinterpretations of what I truly do. I live the exact life that I want to right now. I work to pay my bills that's the only reason I work if it were not for the need to pay bills I would not have a job. I draw because that is what I love to do. I love life I try to fully embrace all aspects of it when ever possible so when I tell you these last two days I have done damn near nothing judge not by the outer assumption. But look at it as a way to see just how relaxing the reality of nothing is. How often in this social straining world do we get to just relax and do what we want to. When was the last time you read a book that you WANTED to read, or played a video game or taken someone out for dinner. The list goes on some how we have all managed to schedule out all the things we need to do to enjoy life and focused instead on something similar to progression of estate. We want more so that as most people would say they can do less work later... Build up your fortune so in your golden years you can be set. Right and on that road you'll wither and die creatively and I think that's a big reason for Alzhiemers... We aren't challenging our minds we need a reality that allows us to both challenge and enrich the higher learning functions that come from experience. So what did I do these last few days... Aside from The Artistic Corner where I got to hang out with Meredith and Keegan. Great peoples btw. I just played a video game. That's it just relaxed and had fun with my friends playing a game. I look forward to other such frivolous activities that mean nothing more than a time to rest your mind and relax. With that break from my art I had a new vision and eagerly drew out several drawing two of which you have seen in this post. But yes to all of you that read this never forget that the greatest lessons we learn in life all come from experience. I plan on living that life to the fullest. Lastly I end with tattoo art I did for my friend Katie Maddy.

Super Smash Mizell Brothers Brawl



So I'm gonna start this blog with a picture of the very lovely Samus in her zero suit. I drew this a while ago and plan on coloring it probably in between a break for Super smash. So my brother his best friend Andrew and his GF Karlynn. This group dynamic is an odd one Seeing as well in some sense Andrew is like a needy BF and visa versa with Karlynn. So here's Stephen playing give and take with em and seriously they were fighting over him. Then there is me who hasn't seen my brother in almost the same amount of time playing the needy brother soaking up fun times with him like a sponge.

Well they got in on Fri and Karlynn had to stay at Aaron and Priscilla's house which is my other brother who lives in the area. So sense it suddenly became a boys night and my friend Dana was having her Birthday party well i figured they ought to go to one of the best Manhattan parties around. It was a blast we played guitar hero and Stephen actually picked for his first song the very first song I picked. "Here we go again" by OK GO. This was just a blast of a party. None of us really drank and or smoked but i got to cuddle up with this girl I met named Christina. I love meeting new people and of course the ever loving Cherry making the party even more fun for sure. Andrew caught himself a nice little girl lol and got to take his shirt off and parade around in a coconut bra. One that I made good use of before that lol. We partied there till maybe 4 in the morning Stephen was getting tired and I'll admit I was too. Came back to my place and chatted a bit then nodded off.
Saturday started great I had decided that I was going to cook Octopus for my guests mainly i just wanted to know if I could cook it lol. They were soooooo weird feeling once you got them thawed out. I didn't chance the heads or the mid section of the big ones in my stir fry so I just used those legs but the baby ones i bought were cooked up fully and each of use got to eat one. Side note maybe unrelated but I have developed some kinda weird rash I think it has something to do with he couch at the Ella house or something in my sheets. I changed my sheets so maybe that will fix that. But Cherry got to come over and help lol which was worth it just to see her face when she touched the octopus. But the meal came out tasting wonderful made stir fried rice too. Then we watched the death of superman movie and some clips from an evening with Kevin Smith before I had to go to work I was cuddled up with cherry on the not so good couch my evil brother had stolen the super comfy couch lol. Work was work.
Got off gave my brother a call to find out that he had found out that Wal-mart was doing a midnight release. Talk about super excited and They were getting the game at midnight. They came back and we lit into the game and played and played Super Smash Brothers Brawl is everything you could wish for and more. The stages are beautiful the characters wonderful and once you get the hang of it again just like old times. But Stephen had to take Karlynn to Aaron's so he took off at liek 3 in the morning and figured sense we were gonna stay up late and brawl and he needed to be on the road the next day he just crashed out at Aaron's house and got his sleep. I was up till like 7 in the morning mainly cause of that stupid time change. Went to bed and then it was Sunday.
My brother came back up here and brought Aaron apparently Priscilla needed to sleep and do homework. So we tried our best to unlock as much stuff as we could and brawl out too and Aaron cooked up some awesome spaghetti funny thing was the other reason Stephen stayed at his house was because he assumed I would skip breakfast but much to Andrews surprise I made him eggs n rice. lol. But yeah we basically played till they had to leave. It was a sad parting but hopefully I'll see him again soon. After they left i spent more time playing SSBB until i pitched taking a break and hanging out with Cherry. She suggested I wear a skirt and she dress up like a dude and we go out for ice cream. When I got there she had the perfect stencilled mustache and a great tie and hat too. So off we went to get ice cream and after wards we cuddled up n watched Venture bro's... So yeah so far pretty much the best weekend ever. I hope this week will follow suite... Be ready for a lull in art. I'll be playing SSBB a whole lot. catch you all later.

Too Many Sapranos


So I went out and saw an opera with my friend Jessie tonight her Girlfriend was one of the leads it was a really funny piece. Not to long either. She's still trying to get me back for the car incident earlier so we got Ice Cream at Cold Stone and she made me a homemade meal... All very good. Other than that basically just worked which was boring as usual and got home and drew again... today's art isn't from that though I'll put that up tomorrow this is the business card logo I made for a commission this was my favorite of them but it's not the final image. Speaking of logo's which is a wonderful tangent to Winter and Wolf I am square with them for sure we were joking the other day on line thank god that's all over. So much stress for sure. Well My brother comes down tomorrow so more then catch you guys later :D

Camra Does Dallas

Well I've always said that friends come and go being best friends forever just rarely works... hell being married anymore isn't even a guarantee although I do hope when I find love it will be till I die. Anyway its that time again time to part ways with a friend I have known for yrs now. She's a manager at the store I work in and she's moving to TX. Personally I've never been a fan of TX having dated a girl from there and that not ending so well. However, I guess its cool shes from TX. But tonight we had our big going away thing for her. I even got my roommate Nathan to go out. He rarely leaves the house so this was a good step forward for him and it was great to hang out with him outside in a social atmosphere even if all we did was drink and watch the Office... We left before they went to the bars. I'm not a big fan of the bars so I wasn't going to do the bar thing.


When I got home i caught Cherry online and pitched an idea for some late night hang out time. She was down so long as she finished her German HW. We swapped stories... mostly mine again... i gotta learn to shut up an listen more lol. But we fiddled with her haunted record player and she mocked some of my Kansas accents. Especially this one "inawreck" From " I was in a wreck" We drank forties, listened to music, smoked and ate seaweed. Wild times I know lol. Very relaxing we'll defiantly have to do that again.


Best news ever only a few more days till my dear brother gets here and we have the time of our lives playing super smash brothers and just being brothers. I really do miss my family more and more. Not getting to see them as often as I used to takes a toll on a brother. But soon enough.


Well hers the art for tonight i finally got that picture of me as a pirate all colored up you can also get T-shirts of it here... http://www.redbubble.com/people/saintpepsi/clothing/825949-1-saintpepsi-pirate

Hit and Run

What started out as what I assumed would be a pretty boring day got all sorts of exciting in the end. After getting to have a great conversation with my dear friend Tamera I was going to go off to work when my friend Jessie called and asked to use my car. She wanted to use it to get to class in a nearby town... it was a golf class. I know right lol. Anyway I was like sure I gotta work just bring it by when you're done. Before I heard from her I got a call from the CAMPUS police... dun dun dun... They were like "SIR! Do you know where your car is?" This is usually when you say it was stolen ;) But I said sure my friend Jessie took it to class they told me then that it had been involved in a hit and run. O.o talk about a kick in the sack a phrase like that will do a fella in and I had just cleaned it to :'( Come to fine out Cops had actually gone to my house looking for me. On top of that they got my number from my ratting out roommates not that I blame them lol but they called me at work. Apparently the campus police are very therow. So I go outside to call Jessie and low and behold she pulls up so i get the ok from the boss and we head down to the police station i was much relieved to find barely a scratch on my car. turns out she barely bumped this guy as she was leaving a fire lane where she had just been ticketed... Not her day to say the least. But I was glad to have that all behind me. She's going to take me to dinner and an opera to placate me even though i was pretty laid back about the whole thing once I found out my car wasn't destroyed. But yeah fun times in my life for all of you who live vicariously through me.


In Art news finished the color version of that ludo picture I drew a while back http://www.myspace.com/ludorock Awesome music and i hope ya like the picture see yall laters.

A very CLEAN monday

Today after I got off work I did not hang out with Akiko, nor did i get to meet up with grace for art. I decided today i would do a pretty impressive job of cleaning the house and so I set to it making the house a beautiful place to live. This mostly thanks to my new roommates Vacuum seriously I'm in love with the thing. I also fully cleaned my car... only to find out that someone had stolen from me and they were obviously retarded. They skipped the CD player and other things I guess and grabed a stack of burnt MP3 discs i guess they wanted a lot of burnt music lol


This also explains where that one pack of cigg's disapeared to. Not that I'm complaining I mean I really don't smoke that often. But I kinda wanted to send those to Amber. Either way got everything nice and clean.


Then it was the Creative Corner which I have on Monday nights unfortunately no one made it tonight so it was just me and my roommates but that didn't stop me from drawing. I probably shouldn't have it on Mondays it seems to conflict with school. Although I had a brilliant idea for a T-shirt type funny design making fun of Venus fly traps in a sexual manner...
I call it ... PENIS FLY TRAP!!
Hope you like it. Other than that I'll see you all soon.

Apathetic Weekend

Ever have one of those moments where you start something that you just have to finish... this Sweeney Todd picture was one of those. Last night I started the second season of Dexter and this picture about the same time. I had to finish both it seemed in one sitting which is probably why all the stuff in the background gets all wavy but i think it adds to the effect really lol. But yeah didn't sleep last night again... that's twice this week Dexter was awesome and I think this picture was worth it but I was a frigging ghost at work that's for sure. But back to the real world.
So this weekend was well rather uneventful to say the least not that i didn't make good use of my time. lol I finally E-filed my Taxes and found out I get a really good refund which is super cool but apparently there was an error in the filing part which i fixed with correct information and it seems to think I'm still wrong so I get to call the IRS... YAY! That will be a blast. Once I finally get my refund it basically all goes to pay off credit I have I Owe me madre 600 some fro helping me with my Japan trip, i think 800 to one credit card, 400 to another and 500 to another... So I'll try n get my mom fully paid off and distribute the rest appropriately to the other debtors... Cause I'm a responsible individual. ;)
Over her we have another random attempt to put a character in a different situation than what you would usually see him in. "Woo Bat's What ever happened to Saturday night"

I'll be using a little of that tax return on me though I got boggle fighting ninjas for my car. Oh yeah they will fight till my car gets replaced. Some art supplies and I got a pretty blue Hukka pipe... it was that or Guitar Hero 3 for Wii and really i didn't want Kent playing my Wii non-stop and he would if I got that. So those are the for me things, Still saving for Japan hopefully fully reducing the debts I have to pay back will help there but commissions will still be awesome. Speaking of which I have almost all the ones I have had all drawn up I just need to post them I might just do that tonight. Then garner payments from the people whom still owe and try and get the ones colored that still need to be.
Truth be told the whole Japan trip is financially not looking so good I would really love to go but I just don't think it will happen this year and even if it does... May just be to hard coming back to pay that all off again. So I might wait till i get all my stuff paid off then Save up and take off and just visit Ryan where ever he's living right now on my own during a cheaper time of the year to fly across the country. I love Yosakoi but I have never been big of group trips I like to be able to just go do my own thing and kinda explore without a schedule oh that would be grand. Me and Ryan did as much of that as we could the last time.
This girl to the left here is Tamera she's a super cool chica finally back from the south and living here in Kansas again its so fun to see her and hang out with her again. She was spoced to come up this weekend but was un-able to due to a weird set of medical failures lol. Long story anyway hope you like the picture. This next weekend my brother Stephen, his GF and best friend are coming up to celebrate the release of Wii's Super smash brothers and I am beyond super excited for this. So I'll catch you all laters.
Oh i also got a schedualler so maybe there will be more order to the chaos that is my life:D
