I’m still alive! It seems to be three weeks since I last posted? I think the new job has kidnapped my brain. And as well the new flat needs much working on - I got to rip up the laminate floor and tear out the crazy formica cupboard, which makes things look a shitload better. No photos though because my camera has slipped into an unexpected coma, and new batteries were no help at all - who knows where I can find a good camera doctor in Edinburgh? No sketchy goodness either just yet, the tiny scraps of spare time I have get spent on a couple of projects that won’t be ready for a good while yet. Oh wait! I was at the ZOO! There was a RHINO’S ARSE!

Mutiple rhino arse off the starboard bow cap’n! I’ll post some more of the photos tomorrow when I’m less deliriously tireds, see you then fellas  

I’ve had an awesome day, which I mostly spent mucking around with the camera and the scanner: 

I’m fairly sure I’ve got the groundwork for a pretty nifty little project all sorted, which might well involve the eggjar!

- well it looks like this will be my last post for maybe a couple of weeks on account of me moving to Edinburgh, but to make up for it there are pictures. Starting with:

I gots more tattoo! It needs one more sitting to put the colour in and then it’s done - anybody know a good Edinburgh tattoo shop?

I have also recently found an art shop that does more than just black printing ink. ‘ve tried a bunch of other ways to get round the just-black-ink problem, but they all died horribly cause of being too thick or thin to print with. This, though, is much more promising:

Ooh it’s getting late and I have been busy, hopefully once the move’s done and everything’s re-connected (I have a nasty suspicion I should have arranged way more stuff than I have so far) I can get back to writing coherent posts. For now though, there’s SPUGBOT:

One last thing while I remember, sorry Tony but I have discovered your secret. Take this photo:

Just a scene from a normal flat party yeah? Tony is the guy in the middle. Look closer:

VAMPIRE!

- I’ve had a practice at customising shoes, which is just another way to say I found something new to cover in paint:

I also has more tattoo! I’ll get a photo up in the next couple of days when it stops being so crusty…

coconut must FEED!

- I had the first sitting for the tattoo just there:

Two or three more sittings to go, aw yeah! I can’t believe how fecking itchy it is… but never mind that, I saw this today on a main road and it made me smile:

I’ve started drawing at work as well, which is ace cause it’s for kids’ storytime so I get to just muck about with a sharpie then the kids (and whoever’s in the staffroom later) get to colour them in:

there’s some more I’ll post as soon as I can track them down. This one here, however, has precisely nothing to do with kids’ storytime because wild haggis can be hella dangerous. He might look all helpless and jiggly but he’ll rub skittles in your eyes till all you can see is food colouring:

- had a damn good time last night:

- I dug out some old photos the other day, and found one of the Illusion Principle trying out a new sound:
