there goes sickness dying under my feet...

Well, i've recovered but i know lots more haven't. Its a bad one this year, but hopefully i've seen it off, for ages. Getting wound up by these drawings now, i'm sick of the same old format and style. Have to think of something else, i know what i want to be doing but trying to get there is the problem, its a lot easier written down on paper or in the head but miles away trying to put it into practice, but isn't that the way with most things, most of the time? I'll keep pluggin away, thats all i can do.

i'm sick of all this sickness...

Its that time of year again...Oh, i'm not talking about Christmas or 'holidays', i'm talking about going outdoors and getting ill from the weather! I've not stopped spluttering for 2 days now, and my throat is really sore, and its not from shouting at people to get Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah instead of that other pop type version, but to tell the truth i think we're all getting sick of the thing now. I'm feeling worse by the hour, but at least i haven't been hassling the pharmacy to give me all they've got in the line of drugs unlike some blokes, i'm harder than that! Dunno if my idea of Christmas gifts is gonna be acceptable this year, as i'm struggling to finish them and i have quite a few more to do, and i'm not even going to be wrapping them! What a half-wit...everything by half, oh yes. I'd better get back to the gifts thing now, bah, humbug. :)

is it just me or...

...is it getting really cold? I don't usually feel the cold that much, but it seems like a lot more hassle doing stuff when its slippery, and wet and chilly outside. Maybe i should invest in more adequate weatherproof clothing, and a scarf and gloves, but i think i'll end up looking more idiotic than normal, but at least i'd be a warmer idiot! I'll think about it if i manage to survive until after Christmas. New drawing here, and look, no really weird deformities or growths! Maybe that phase is over? Don't hold your breath, i'm sure i'll slip back into the gruesomes soon. Whatever you are doing, do it wrapped up, and hopefully not too idiotically...is that a word? Is now!

Its a bit different...

Still not full of words to share with anybody, regardless of the fact that i couldn't get a word in edgeways if it was left to some people! :) Have been painting, but its very minimal in style, just black and white portraits on canvas, a bit of a scan then adding the colour. its good to keep the originals in their original state, i am then able to experiment and print off as many as i like. Think i might try to spy some people when i'm out and do a few quick sketches, then i can take em back here and see if i can do anything constructive with them. Of course i couldn't possibly get the pictures to resemble or flatter the subject, that would be way too straightforward! I like to twist things, i'm a bit weird like that!
