Blah Blah Blah and Then Cool
I haven’t been at the computer lately, as I’ve been out living my life and trying not to get arrested for it. (Ha!)
Been doing the usual, hanging out with friends (which naturally involves beer), taking care of my dogs and, of course… working. They’re changing our uniforms, by the way, to bullet-proof thick, long sleeve, black shirts. I expect that when Summer is back and it’s 110 degrees outside, I’ll be passing out like a teenager at a Beatles concert. I’m hot-blooded enough without wrapping me in polyester and baking me like a chicken. The air conditioner can’t keep up with all the running around I do. So hopefully I won’t die of heat stroke or something while I’m trying to remember some lady’s peanut allergy.
Onto the cool part I hinted at with my snappy post title…
I’ve always loved art. I love to sketch/draw and once upon a time I actually wanted to be a commercial artist. I later decided that I didn’t want something I loved to ever be something that stressed me out, or that I didn’t genuinely love doing anymore. So I kept it as a hobby and something that I do to relax. I’m blah blahing again…
I was over at YouTube today (are you shocked? of course you’re not) and was watching videos of drawings being created, using different mediums. It was there that I ran across something that I couldn’t take my eyes off of… It’s a fast-motion drawing of Evangeline Lilly (from Lost) and it so captured my attention that I felt horribly compelled to share it here. So… Here.
I’m off now to get ready to see my girl Jenn at work and have a beer. Or two. Ok three.
Peace and comfy shoes.

Damn that’s amazing! There’s one on youtube of the guy who plays Sawyer on Lost…it’s in black and white. I saved it somewhere it fascinated me. But the colour is amazing here.
Thanks for sharing that!

Interesting! I admire your choice of not polluting your passion with money. I can understand your motivation.
Interesting YouTube clip. Reminds me vaguely of those commercials on TV that are cartoon-ized versions of live-action video of people talking. Those commercials BUG me. But the cartoons for Esurance, THOSE are cool. I guess I just want the line between cartoon and real-life to be more sharply drawn.

You have a uniform? I envy you, I want a uniform for work, I hate looking for stuff to wear. My next job just may be at McDonalds for that reason alone.
