Hey MySpacianz,

I got some gripe today.

Yeah its that kinda blog today. I got some BEEF witha little band known as the Red Hot Chili Peppers:

I tune into the Pandora regularly and I wanted to get my groovy Chili Pepper funk on. You know how it is? I’m the kinda person that feels that one’s day deserves a themesong of sorts. Well to my dismay all i got was what I can best describe as something sedate stoner elevator muzak. Its kinda like getting a 1 Star spicey on your 4 Star Kung Pow Chicky…. yeah…. Wut DA Eff!

Mind you I’m old school. For you youngins out there back the days of grunge/surf, it was all about the Nirvana, RHCP and Soundgardens… music that makes you wanna get up and LIVE! Not “Under the Bridge”, not “Californication”, not “Desecration Smile”! Argh & Blargh!!

*calming*

Ok.

Let us pray:

God of Rock, pease give us our “Funky Monks” back so that we forget not how to get down and reach for “Higher Ground”. Teach us what it is line to be “Sir Pyscho Sexy” and help us to get us through our days (and especially nights). Delivery us from Coldplay. Amen.

Ok, I feel a little better. The hate is gone. I am calm and one with the Force again. Me and the Peppers are BBF again. Except for Flea, he drank all my rums the other night… also all my left socks are gone. And I don’t think I want them back. x_X

One Love,

P.S.
MySpace Special Commission Special is still going on… read my last blog post for more info. Slots are open!

Shiggity swass all!

So I’m still working on my watercoloring. I’m still learning, still
gaining confidence using this media. I like how it forces me to not
rely so heavily on the “undo” button, haha. *shakes fist @ Photoshop*

This is a piece I finished last night of the very lovely Angela Ryan:

Another
thing working with watercolors has forced me to do is work bigger. Most
of my illustrations are under 11×17″ size. This one is 9×12″ but it
feels like i crammed it in there. All part of the learning process i
suppose.

Peace&rum,

P.S.
Reminder: If you are interested in getting an Amano Pinup
commission, take advatage of the discount pricing. Click here link for
more info!

I bet most of you intrawebbrz are either NOW just starting to wake up or are hustling to get thru the workday to celebrate the long Fourth of July weekend! I’m there wif ya!

I missed this past Hump Day post, but decided to make up for it by sharing some more watercolor artwork:

No those arn’t “Amano brand tassels” she’s wearing. Again Tom at Myspace is a delicate tender little chap… there is something about the nipples of a woman’s breasts that makes him go plum loco. So in order to avoid incident, I have to come up with way to cover things up. Crazy I know.

Also a reminder to anyone out there who want to own their own Amano pinup. Commissions are still available at the discounted price. Click here for more info.

I wish everyone out there a safe and patriotic weekend. Remember to drink reponsibly and don’t drink and drive (you might hit a bump and spill your drink!).

USA!
