:Projekt 006: Octopus

So I was at the local casino the other night and decided to draw on a napkin. Surprise, surprise. My fascination with octopi always tends to lead me to draw them in different positions, colors, or wrapped up on different things, (like an anchor, possibly :projekt 007:). But this came out the other night.

I like the juxtaposition, the suction cups, whatnots. The color too. I only had the two colors so I might re-do this with some blues. We'll see. Let me know what you think.

Side Note: I'm still waiting on my friends accordion pics :projekt 005:, and Im still sketching turtle stuff for :projekt 004:

New Job

I started a new job on Monday. I am now officially getting paid to get people drunk. haha. That sounds weird saying it but its true, I am a bartender. It's a fun job so far. I was told that I was only going to work Monday and Tuesday just to try things out, but I was called in yesterday, (Wednesday), and now today. And yesterday was a busy day, despite me coming in for the morning shift. Then the Boss called me and asked if I could stay till closing because the other bartender is sick. My third day on the job and I'm already pulling a double. Granted there are only two bartenders in the entire establishment. And now apparently there's only one: Me. We will see how this goes...

2 Projekts and an update

Hey guys,
I hope February has been treating everyone great and smoothly. The Superbowl was a complete disappointment. Not in terms of the score although I'm not a 49ers fan so the Ravens winning was just a gloating factor. It was a disappointment as far as the commercials go. I'm sure there were a few that struck some emotional chords, such as the Clydesdale horses commercials, but none that were really mind-blowing. Although the 2 Broke Girls commercial was pretty intense. Anyways...

Projekt #004
Last week I was talking to my brother's girlfriend about tattoos. (She recently got a dia de los muertos skull tattoo with a rose, really nice) She told me she wanted to get one done to honor her sister. Her sister happens to love turtles and she and her sister are always tied to the hip. So, she wants a turtle tattoo, on her hip. Nice! I showed her snowflake design I did for my other friend and she really like the concept. Not too realistic, not too abstract. That's what she wanted to start off with. So I'm writing down this initial concept ideas and getting a few lines of thought down.

Projekt #005
Another friend of mine had asked me for a design of an accordion. Apparently her father has an accordion that she wants to get designed into a piece and is going to take some pics of the instrument for me. She wants it in done in "flash" style, so it'll have a "sailor jerry" feel to it. Im looking forward to doing that one for her.
