So yeah.....as was stated in the previous journal, this one has failed to post pictures due to the publication of the book he illustrated. That was a fair enough excuse right?

Well now......this one has no excuse....started quite a few pics but couldn't keep the interest enough to finish them.

Ironically, with the book published, the time may come were this one....I.....have to do this kinda work on a regular basis, and now I have lost all my motivation to even finish what I started. I think I just need.....I dunno..... Is this what they call the Mid-mid-life crisis? Lost interest, feeling in a rut, scared of breaking routine......sounds kind of like clinical depression almost! (I hope THAT'S not it!)

But enough of my...this ones whining. If you are interested in the book "A New Friend For Nai'a" (nai'a is Hawaiian for dolphin btw) you can view it here:

....and yes that is this one's REAL NAME on the illustrator's credit. Damn now everyone will know this one's secret ID!!!!!

But if you are interested you may want to purchase it on the listed website.

This one has always had a problem with procrastination......which he will worry about tomorrow. However the lack of posting of any artwork has not been due to the fact that this one has not been drawing....but rather the artwork that this one is working on cannot be posted as it is now officially copyrighted and published in a kids book! (THAT'S RIGHT THIS IS A SHAMELESS PLUG JOURNAL!!!!!)

The book is set for retail this October and this one will actually be doing a book signing at Borders and Barnes and Noble! Truthfully this one never thought he could get this far in his artwork, and only did this kids book.........to see if it could be done! But now that the book is FINALLY finished, this one is resuming what he knows and loves most, fun art for devart. So please be patient as the newer art is still in the process of being made (and personal life is in need of a good reorganizing too!) but will be posted asap.

It's a curse isn't it? Tagged AGAIN!!!!! Twice in one month too! did it this time around. (her revenge on this one as this one got her first) Well here we go:

So this one tags: and ...and enjoy!

Ok This one must apologize but.....

Your ALL tagged!!!!!!! Forgive this one.....this one had no choice!.....tagged by .

To that end this one will open up as much as possible in repentance for committing the horrific sin of tagging....but first a word from our sponsor:

Rules
1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 8 people and post their icons
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them
5) NO TAG-BACKS

This one.....I.......

1) I have an extreme fear of offending people are making them feel bad....even if I hate that person. (Respect is one thing that is paramount in my code of living.....as Jedi-drama as it sounds! )

2) I will denounce and condemn any man who disrespectfully stares at women.....but can't help but stare myself sometimes. To that end I am actually the sin I hate. (you know....a hypocrite! )

3) I used to be very cavalier about life....until I saw the lives of actual people I knew end right in front of me.....now I feel guilty if I even step on an insect. So I am often called a "softy" (you know...a wuss! ) because of it. AND I AM!!!!!

4) Despite the above, I am a red meat eater and love beef, steak, hamburger and anything else that a cow was! (Remember....hypocrite!) I will say that I do give thanks to the animals that feed me as is dictated by the rituals of my religion (Buddhist), so I hope that earns me a slight reprieve.

5) While I am a pacifist, I have a fascination with weaponry (hypocrite) of all eras, ages and countries. I never want to see people killed, yet I am fascinated by the tools that do the killing! (hypocrite) And as much as I hate firearms and support the gun control laws, I have a fascination with firearms. (hypocrite!)

6) Most of the artwork that I post now a days are based on dreams or fanciful thoughts I have.....WHILE DRUNK!!!!!! Get a shot into me and the imagination just flows!!!!! (Hey if it worked for Luis Carol......)

7) If given a choice between a big party or a quite gathering....I would take the quite gathering. I like serenity and peace in my get togethers because then you can really enjoy the company of those around you and make the memories you will cherish from that point on.

8) It may be a mistake but I wear my heart on my sleeve. I know it's a bad idea, but at least I am being genuine with people. I hate people who are dishonest about their feelings and never show you what they really think or feel.

....I....this one will end it on that. Opinions of this one are yours to make....like or hate them these are this ones truths.

Well the title says it all, and of all the times to find inspiration it had to happen when this one was drunk! The result is a surprise, but the actions of the drunken stupor have lead to one of the most comprehensive pictures this one has worked on for a long time. As such there may not be a post for awhile as this one is working on the new picture in great detail. Hopefully the picture that results will be worth the effort.
