Happy Holidays!

Hello friends (or Hello nobody, since nobody reads this shit),

So time has flown and Thanksgiving and Black Friday have come and gone. I hope none of you have been trampled to death or shot or peppersprayed by some hussy trying to get to the front of the line at Walmart. Personally I did a whole $45 worth of Black Friday damage online... plus a few dollars here and there for some games on Steam. I didn't want to risk a panic attack in the crowds plus some asshole hit my car in the parking lot while I was at work a couple weeks ago and didn't leave a note, so instead of stocking up on shit at Kmart I have to save my money for that. The shop quoted me $1100 to fix my bumper, which I thought was a bit steep, so I'm going to do it myself. And really this is going to turn into one of those projects I obsess over and refuse to ask for help on. Who needs real people when you've got Youtube and Google?

Anyway, that's about what I've been up to lately. I've got myself a job making sandwiches which is pretty much like a food assembly line. It's pretty tite. I was supposed to start school at Ex'pressions doing animation this month, but that went tits up, so I'll be going back to community college in January for programs completely unrelated to what I've been doing. In engineering and electrical technology, so I can get a job that has to do with real assembly lines. My life has direction; it just doesn't really make sense. My direction is jumping from obsession to year long obsession. And right now I'm obsessed with manufacturing and assembly lines.

That's not to say that that's the end of my art career. There have been projects involving leds and lighting and projections that I've never been sure about how to go about doing. So I suppose if all goes well, the electrical tech part of my education should enable me to follow through with these personal projects. Who knows. At the end of this, I'll probably be on to animal husbandry or underwater basket weaving or making meth in the basement.

So with that, I bid you adieu. Happy holidays!

xo,

Sorry, but not.

So, no work yet on the third comic. I'm sorry. Actually, my therapist says I'm not supposed to be so damn apologetic, so I guess I'm not sorry, but sorry.

Since the last update, things have been good. I've been busy making friends, binge drinking, scraping paint, catching up on Breaking Bad and Keeping Up With the Kardashians (judge me), going on little adventures, charming the hell out of strangers, etc. Tomorrow I'm checking out Bingo night. I hear they have huge $500 payouts, so I'm hoping I can win some big money, get it all in ones, and roll around in it. I'm looking forward to settling down a bit, getting into my home improvement and quiet activity lifestyle and tending to my pet roly poly bugs.

I bought a few comics at our local Half Price Books today and a graphic novel based on Edgar Allen Poe's stories. I'm trying to get back into good books, good tv, good movies, good games, good people so I can work it all into a good comic, but lately I've been having a hard time connecting all of these things together.

I've been in excellent company, but for some reason, nobody sparks the synapses of my brain quite the way they once were. I've lost my muse, and I suppose I shall continue to feel restless until I find another.

But ah, so it goes.

Crazy Talk: July Edition

Hallo everybody!

I haven't been on here for quite a bit. I hope all is well with my favorite blogger meatsacks, that all of your wildest dreams are coming true or at least you're still alive. Personally, these past three weeks have provided more anguish than have the past five years. I had a complete meltdown (not even) midlife crisis shit storm. Endured intense panic attacks, got laid off, stopped eating and sleeping, ruined the majority of my relationships, moved back in with my parents from a nice house I was sharing with my brother and his girlfriend.

"Hootie hoo, hussy," is what you're probably thinking. And I couldn't agree more. You reach a point where you can't wallow in your sorrows any longer and you've got to acknowledge it, get your shit together, and move forward. Nobody wants to attend a pity party. I've sought professional help and have been lucky enough to have friends and family to help me through it. The ones who didn't, fuck 'em.

Anyway, some good has come from all of it. Now that I am no longer gainfully employed, I've got time to go to Vegas (I'm 22 and still a Vegas virgin!) with my best friend, also a month long train adventure to clear my head and see the country and my friends afar. I've started collecting pill bugs/roly polies. Also I guess I'm posting this here to let you know some brainstorming has been going on for Go & Nads Vol 3: Hell!

I've also added these beauties to my arsenal, so expect some new artwork soon:

Anyway, I hope you are all doing fantastic. And should shit hit the fan for you, know that you have a friend in me.

Cheerio,
Bee

ps. Let me know if any of you are on Google+. I'm looking to expand my art lovers circle, seeing as I've got like 2 friends on it. Also leave me your email if you'd like an invite!

Graduated!

Yays, my first post as a college graduate! Instead of doing the whole cap and gown thing, I had a nice lunch with my mom at Saigon Bistro in Concord. My mom has been the single most supportive person throughout my entire time at school, from kindergarten all the way up until now and I'm sure into the future when/if I decide to go back for more schooling. Nothing fancy, but the perfect way to celebrate.

Last week I moved into my new place. It's good. I live with my brother and his girlfriend, but it gets lonely. I don't understand why I'm having a hard time when nobody's home. The past three years I've spent living alone in a tiny little apartment and never felt like this. I'll get over it.

Anyway! I have big plans for my white walls. Some big wall art is going up, but I'm not exactly sure how to make it. I'm trying to incorporate some led lights, but I don't know shit about all the electrical workings. I'm frantically googling, but I think I'll have to enlist some help on this one. Frustrating to know exactly what you want but not knowing how to go about getting it!
