Haven't been posting a lot lately. Last week my internetness was lost, and on top of that I'm still in the mind that I should be filling this thing with new work rather than general chit-chat. Hopefully I'll be able to produce pics regularly enough to keep the posts fresh.
Funnily enough, the idea behind this pic had nothing to do with the content of the message, but it seems to tie in well.
Kind of a shame really ....
No questions asked.
I'm not explaining.
Sue - I'm calling this done.
6 posts a week?
Could be a little OTT.
It's only been a week and I'm already going back on promises I've made. But it wouldn't be the first time and I promise, it won't be the last. But believe me, it's for the best. If I post just for the sake of posting, the end result is going to be rather dull - It will be become the diary of a very boring person.
And if I just post up random images the end result will be a blog I'm more likely to be embarrassed of than proud. Not that I'm all that proud of the work posted thus far ... give it 3 - 5 years ... maybe more.
So, let's just see what happens. I'll try to post a few times a week with the aim of posting a half decent illustration every week. Deal?
Anyway, the above was a submission for a shirt design. It was rejected ... I cried for weeks.
Also, it's my good friend's Tanya's 30th today.
Happy Birthday Yo - I drew this badass picture for you.
While Activision may be creaming it every year with their Call of Duty franchise, in my books the Street Fighter series will always stand strong as some of the best video games ever made.
Sure, I'm not actually very good at many of the Street Fighter games, but to me, the old school fighters will always hold a special place in my heart. The childhood memories of friends talking about invisible throws and super combo finishes are always bought back whenever I see an arcade machine.
As a kid I always thought there would be no greater joy in the world on own a Street Fighter 2 arcade. So it comes as no surprise that, now I'm older, I find myself with a strange urge to live out this dream - over and over again.
I've owned 2 old arcade machines in the past, built numerous custom made joysticks (see earlier post) and built an entire Vewlix cabinet entirely from scratch.
This photo is my latest time waster ...
I'm already looking forward to working on something other than this ....
