(well.. some of it is.)

I resisted social networking pressure (as opposed to peer pressure) for a while but I finally gave in and I'm now on twitter:

Follow if you like. I could use some more people for me to follow as well.

Hiiii.


I made an Etsy shop for my octopi necklaces! The storefront isn't much to look at right now but I'm gonna be working on it. And putting more items up as they come. But.. Custom colors of some octopi are available! Pick a color, get an octopus. Woo.

All is well in the world. Well, my world at least.
Second session of project cover up. I was so very much ready to be done once Adam finished up. Goddamn. I'm not one to cry or even yelp during a tattoo (and I still didn't) but the amount of clenching and wincing while he was at my wrist then later my elbow has made my body completely tired. Ever get a sunburn? Or at least a long day outside in the sun? You know that over all body exhaustion you feel later on? That's what I have now. I had such a headache earlier, too. It seriously reminded me of when we used to go to the lake and I'd forget to put sunblock on and later be stiff, tired, and miserable trying not to move as to avoid my clothes scratching my burns.
Tattoo fatigue is what I used to call it, but this seems more extreme than before.
Here's another shot of the progress, though this only covers about half of what was actually done today. Once it's finished I'll have full photos of the whole piece.

Something I haven't done in a little while. DRAW. Meh, cape/feet/legs still need better work but I think he's cute.
I should probably stop taking pictures of drawings and scan them, huh? This picture is a bit distorted from the actual sketch, and much lighter.
I also was playing with my cameras video capture and recorded myself drawing alot of this little guy, but I kept rambling about stupid shit to avoid dead silence video so I'm going to wait and edit out the rambling somehow before I post it anywhere. /tarded

Do want.

I jacked the idea of this guy's V-Day cards and made one for Matt.





and hey I just realized why I have a headache. I haven't worn my glasses at all today and I've been squinting at everything.

Happy VD Day!

WUT?

Spoke to Mr. Adam Potts up at Acme and now I have an appointment next Saturday at 5. I'm fucking thrilled beyond more eloquent words. This cover up is a long time in the making so next Saturday couldn't come soon enough.
He suggested, after having told him I wanted a "big gnarly looking raven" that we could do a combination of the two ideas I told him. A raven and a coffin. I said I wanted the raven holding an eyeball. Which will tie into another raven I'll get somewhere in the future holding an ear. (Huginn and Muninn, although I'm more reminded of Valravn with a coffin in the picture.)

Either way.. awesome.


Also, here's something I stole from a community, sorry to those that may see this twice but it's too fucking hilarious to NOT share.

Honestly, I just wanted to use this icon for something.

"The bums will always lose! Do you hear me, Mr. Obama?! THE BUMS WILL ALWAYS LOSE!!!"

Atheist buses take to the streets in Britain.

If these were in Kentucky, people would be dying in it's wake. That or an angry Baptist mob would savagely murder the driver assuming it was his/her doing.

With the death of The Wasp at the end of Secret Invasion, Dr. Hank Pym has wasted no time in finding a new mule to punch around. Cammy can take the hits after all.

By the joyous expression you can tell Matt was feeling overly festive last night.

I want this in the worst way possible. Or the easiest which would be to just buy it. But that's not an option right now so I'll settle on worst!



For $25 tonight ONLY. After midnight (west coast), it goes up to $45.



Damn you holiday season for appealing to my tastes


Or at least imagining things that I'd want even if you can't actually buy them.
Wormwood Pint Glasses!

Sadly they may not even make production due to low demand. :(
Want.

Though I don't know about their overseas shipping. I would love one of these. Plus it's for a good cause, maybe you know somebody that would like one as well.


Also, I just finished watching Atonement and I need something to cheer me up. What a bummer ending.

For nothing in particular but fun.
