I finished the art job I mentioned a few days ago. It was fun but I really was pushing my limits to get it done on time. It was a rush job, and I knew that going in, but the money was very much-needed. I was generally staying up till 1am drawing and then going to bed and waking up at 6:30am to go to work. Ugh… so tired. I didn’t even do that sort of schedule when I was in college. But now that it’s done and I plan on going to bed at a decent time and getting some rest. Much needed rest. Yawn….. -_-
I’ve watched The Walking Dead show of tv now for 3 seasons and as a result, I can’t go anywhere without thinking about a zombie apocalypse. Mostly as where would I be the safest. I’m constantly looking at buildings, factories, rural areas and such as thought I might have to bunker down in them with my family. My house has a fenced in back yard, but I think the area would soon be over run with the living dead so we’d have to abandon it. Schools usually have fenced in yards and that could be a good chunk of land for gardening. Factories usually have high security fences but they’re probably too far from any sort of food/supply source. Usually I eyeball rural gas stations as a spot for chocolate bars, drinks, maps and such. I would also have to think on my feet to make sure I’m able to find the proper resources, supplies and to say a head of the other survivors. Of course I could just put a bullet in my head and avoid the whole thing, the other question would be my family though. I don’t think I could leave them with all the zombies around. Damn it! I’m all paranoid now. Thanks tv… you suck.
I’m sure you’re aware that the Mayan’s have predicted the end of the world. Seriously… true story. According to their calendar system and then merged with our calendar the date will fall on December 21, 2012. Less than 10 days and then it’s all over people. Sigh… the sad thing is that some people really do believe this to be true. I won’t go in to the details of Mayan long count calendar (I’ve read up on it), but I have done a little research in to what people think will happen. It seems to cover everything from massive solar flares, asteroids, the magnetic poles switching and a secret hidden planet that exists behinds the sun coming in to view. I can’t say for 100% that one or any of those things will happen, but I can say that I feel pretty safe. Plus if it really is the end of the world, no point in stocking up on canned goods or bottled water right?
But let’s say that the world was going to end. What would you do? What would do with the time you had left? Would it be the same as usual for you or would you run off and try to do all the things you’ve always wanted to do? Loot some stores? Tell your boss to suck your dick? Take part in a few end of the world orgies? I think I would quit my job after my last pay check and spend the rest of my time with my family. They’re the only ones I’d want to be with when it all goes down.
I got a package in the mail today. It was my free gift for being a platinum member at Club Nintendo’s reward program. It works like this, every time you buy a Nintendo developed/produced/endorsed product you get a code. You sign in at the site and enter your code to get points. Those points tally up and once you get over certain amounts, you get a rank. Over 300 gets you gold status and over 600 gets you platinum status. You can also use those points to get free Nintendo things.

I’ve taken on an art job recently to help with paying for a family trip. It’s a side job from what I do at work and in no way is competition to my career, but because I of this all my fun extra art has come to a halt. Tinkerbell folio has come full stop and my Christmas pic has slowed as well. This job is quick money that will come in very handy, but it sucks that it takes away from the art I’d rather be doing. Ah, well. In life we always have to do things we’d rather not be from time to time. It’s not that the job sucks. It’s just not the fun art I prefer to do.
The good news is, is that this job is almost done. I should have it done in the next few days actually. Then I can get back to drawing Tink and my Christmas pic. Yay! But chances are there will be only one instead of two.
What jobs have you had to do that sort of suck, but not quite? Just enough to make you want to get back to doing what you love.
Since we’re on the topic of figures I think next post will… um… turn some heads? Looks like a figure maker has brought out a set of headless figures and accessories. Why you may ask? Well, what you do is pop the head off your favorite figure, snap it on to this one and BAM! Instant boob job fantasy.
“But my favorite figure has larger/smaller sized boobs then this one” you say. “It just wouldn’t be the same.”  Well, you’re right. But don’t worry, they’ve got your back.
