Blame it on the rain...

It's been raining for the past 6 days and it fucking sucks.. But it did get wondering how many people blow their brains out from depression because of the rain or even worse how many people do dumb shit because of rain? For example A young farmer from Nashik committed suicide after failing to bear the burden of damage to crops due to unseasonal rains and this is just one case. 17,107 farmers committed suicide in 2003 in india because of rain... or lack of it. Whats worse than people killing themselves because of rain? take a look below



...nuff said!


On a side note... Here's a slideshow while it rains

How babies are made...

Like they say "fly too close to the sun, promise too much, and you're just as likely to tumble out of the sky as deliver on your potential." That is what I'm just about to show you.

I'm going to show you how to work on a digital piece layer by layer not with a desktop or tablet, but with a little iPad. This work was created with the wonderful model Masuimi Max on the Artrage app.

Yes, drawing on the iPad can be difficult with it's lack of pressure sensitivity and Appose to what every one says is only a minor obstacle! Drawing on an iPad does have a learning curve but it is an affordable option to purchasing a $2,000 Cintiq 21x, Modbook, or a tablet pc. I do stress the word "option"  although great,  if you have money burning a hole in your panties it's definitely not a replacement. Before attempting to draw on an iPad keep in mind that it's not the tools that make the artist but how the artist uses the tools he has.


This is the first layer... The background. I know, it basically looks like hammered sh*t but hey it's a foundation
Next we throw in a couple of groovy planes, some smoke, and a flag
  
Now we add this wonderful lady aka Masuimi Max, Throw in some clothing, more smoke and grass, and some dirty highlights...


And BAM sucka! 
There you go...  I hope you found this post helpful in your quest to create that ultimate masterpiece. If you would like any advice on helping you with your projects please let me know.

Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions...

Well, as we know on the side I'm an artist... a pin-up artist at that.... I draw sh*t.... I'm starting to think I'm cursed though. A long time ago I used to do quite a lot of things with my art licensed it out to a decal company, had a groovy book, hell there was a board game in Australia with my sh*t on the cover... then I stopped. Now after five years I come back and decide to do something simple like license my work out again and the company I'm licensing to goes to sh*t... FML




On another note, I woke up this morning with a f*cked up neck again. I'm not really sure what to do. I have purchased and tried numerous types of pillows but to no avail. Maybe I should just get a neck transplant or something...

Things that make your eyes bleed...

This is day 2 of this blog and you know what sucks more than typing this nonsense? Beta testing... I hate beta testing... staring at a monitor trying to break a program. What makes it worse is the fact that I somehow scratched my eyeball in my sleep so I'm not only going insane but I'm crying out of one eyeball. It's like that time I cut my tongue on a tuna can and drank lemonade...




Another interesting thing is I woke up this morning with three voicemails of some angry drunk guy saying "I don't know this n*gga Pete... F*ck that n*gga Pete... Tell that n*gga Pete I wanna see him in the ring... I wanna f*ck that n*gga pete up and down the ring.." I guess I somehow pissed off a cage fighter at some point in my life.






More exciting news! I get a letter from my daughters elementary school saying that the school has basically failed math and is under probation. This sucks, because I am an Asian anomaly and suck at math and that's the last thing I want for my lil monkey. So, basically they said that parents can freely transfer their kids to another school within the area.... ALL the schools in the region failed at math....

Now the relation between the breakfast burrito and digestion...

... We’ll start this with the Koala as an example..Koala’s live almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves. This is likely to be an evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled ecological niche, since eucalyptus leaves are very low in protein, high in indigestible substances, and contain compounds that are toxic to most species, basically eucalyptus is shit….

…. Like wombats and sloths, the koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time and Koalas spend about three of their five active hours eating...

...Their liver deactivates the toxic components ready for excretion, Koala’s also have a greatly enlarged hind-gut which can extract the maximum amount of nutrients from their shit diet... which makes them a fermenter species like horses, possums, wombats and pigs...

... Unfortunately human’ s don’t have this instead we are stuck with a bullshit appendix that’s about as useful as pockets on a t-shirt, or my fully functioning earlobes . So basically I found that I may not have the appropriate digestive properties to consume a “breakfast burrito” which would in turn explain the bubble guts I’m suffering from.

The beat goes on...

So more testing... I find blogging similar to shoving a screwdriver in my pee hole...painful and retarded.  As you can see i found that you can change the background image and the overall look. Next is seeing if I can actually practice proper grammar... not that you can tell but spell check pretty much corrected every word in this paragraph. Now to see if I can implement html in to this atrocity.

And it continues......

So yeah, I just tried to post a comment on my own blog and it didn't work.... So really, what the hell do people write about on these things....I know I'll try to import an image to see how that works...

Ok, it works... No, that is not my dog... how depressing is that? I posted a pic of a puppy and it's not even mine. But, if I did have a puppy it wouldn't look all depressed an pathetic like that one.... WOW I can use HTML on here... that's kind of cool....
There you go!!!!!!!!! now that's more like a dog I would have!!!!! Alrighty, that's enough for testing today...
