HOT FUZZ!
I'm in a complete haze, due to my insomnia, that seemz not even a dose of Ambien can defeat. I've got some supernatural physicallity that seems to be resistant to anything that would normally knock a regular human out, but instead left me loopy, hallucinating and a trite bit horny. Not that that isn't an interesting effect but not quite the one I was looking for. So today I'm feeling like a ghost, not quite tangible.
Last night I must've been too tangible, enough so that the freekin' cops hovering around every street corner in this city, felt the need to pull me over for yet again, another brake light that had gone out in my motor vehicle. All I wanted to do was get home after another tedious night at work, but no, the fuzz feels the need to harass those that FOLLOW THE FREEKIN' LAWS in this city instead of bustin' the granny rapers, hoe peddlers, crackheadz and dumpster baby makers that have taken over Las Vegas. He let me go on just a warning, but then again I was stopped about five minutes later at a "check point" where a group of coppers were stopping everyone to see if we've been drinkin' or such. After being interrogated by a douchbag cop, I finally headed the rest of my trip home, only to be followed once again by ANOTHER cop. Luckily, he must've been swayed by some other useless call of duty on his radio or something, so he managed to take off in another direction after tailing my ass for another couple of minutes. Christ, what's up with this city? All of the sudden it's been turned into a police state. Guess cuz tourism is down, the city hasta make it's money slapping tickets on those that actually don't drive drunk, peddle drugs or rob banks for a living.
I used to love Las Vegas, but it's turned into a hellhole in the last few years and I can't wait to get out of this town.
But enough of my whining.
School's out for summer, well, actually only a few weeks, but that doesn't mean I have time to slow down. I've got a website I need to rebuild, more stuff to create for my portfolio and past works I need to revamp, remaster and redo. I created some cool stuff for my classes this quarter, some I used, some I didn't.
One piece I didn't end up using for one of my finals was this-
I call it "BLOOD VICTORY" and it is pretty huge so I couldn't scan it, so here's a low rez photo of it. It was done in watercolor and I really don't know what I think of it. It was an image that originally popped into my noggin' as a surreal take on warriors reaching for victory-a beautiful prize at the end of the battle, but as I started painting it, it started to take on a life of it's own and the subject matter took on a whole other "theme". I'm thinking of loading it into Painter X and recoloring it and seeing where else it takes me.
Which leads me to this piece, all done in Painter X, for another class.
I took an illustration I posted a few weeks back and redid it in Painter X, my version of The Frankenstein Monster being hunted by those pesky angry villagers.
The painting I ended up turning in instead of the "BLOOD VICTORY" piece ended up getting nabbed by my instructor so he can put it up on display next quarter,was my attempt at recreating a Sanjulian style painting you'd see on an old 1970's Creepy,Eerie or Vampirella mag.
It has an Egyptian theme, done in watercolor and copec marker. Here's a really bad photo of it-
Again, it was too big too scan, but once I get it back after next quarter, it shall be photographed much betterly, and henceforth be posted for yer viewing. My instructor really liked it, aside from the horribly anatomically incorrect forearm of one of the Egyptian warriors, which I totally didn't see til he pointed it out. Now it glarez at me large, and I don't know how I didn't notice it before.
Oh well, live n' learn.
So, there's no shortage of other projects I hope to tackle within' the next few weeks.
So, off I go, I'll leave you with this quicky sketch of The Ragzter done in Political History class-
Don't forget to click on the pix for a larger view
and, oh, if you get the chance, go rent or buy "Blood Car"-
Fer those who may be squeemish about gore,killing animals and titties, ya might wanna prepare yerself, but really, tho it appears to be lowbrow and cheesy, it's a lot more intellegent than it let's on, and the dialogue is hilarious. One of the best recent low budget independent horror flicks I've seen in a while. Highly recomended.
Oh, and watch out for the fuzz. They're vicious out here!
