AHH fuck. i found out i realised i typed this at work and meant to post but got busy and left it here until today. thought i'd post my birthday post now even though it's late.
HAPPY FUCKING DEV DAY. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! WOO.
THOUGHT I'D DO A SHORT WEEKLYSASS TO CELEBRATE THE OCCASION! HERE'S SOME SHIT I'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS THAT I THOUGHT WAS AWESOME.
Product: Tattoo Tester
Creator: JuliAnn Miller
Source: Lovely Package
I LOVE THIS IDEA. this way people that worry all the time can try out their design as a tattoo for a couple of days and work out what they think BEFORE the ink. logical and awesome; hopefully this will help prevent people getting ink and then getting rid of it later in life.
Model: “Line” Shades
Brand: MACKDADDY

Fuck it. I’d rock the shit out of these, they’re fucking hilarious.
Model: Cool Shooters
Brand: Fred & Friends
Source: IWantOneOfThose.com
FUCK YES. this one is an old one but i never got around to posting it. how awesome is this idea? fill up the tray and freeze, then next time you're drinking with friends you can crack out the DISPOSABLE SHOT GLASSES! definitely awesome. ranks high on my want list. must. track. down.
Brand: Nike
Model: Blazer Lite Mid Tier-0
Source: HypeBeast
Man these are slick. a lite cut model of the blazer, tier-0 release. extremely dope colourways... I'd rock any pair of these any day. this is a pack i'd grab in a heartbeat if i had the cash but thanks to my current situation with dad even when i'm well off i'm skint for cash to spend. sighhhh. so dope. might grab the charcoal on pink highlights or the gray on lime green. but they are ALL SO SMOOTH LOOKING. BUTTTTTTTTEEERRRYYYYY
THINKTANK
Things are shit as usual, dad's situation is a drainer. my art has slowed down slightly by the sheer ammount of things that have been dumped on my head. it's an irritation that will not end and i don't see it coming to a close in the near future. it's just such a pain that all this money i have to spend. i don't see it back, i never will. it's not like when the time does come and dad passes i will get anything back. i'm not ASKING for anything back, i'm glad to see him alive and well bu it's beyond irritating staying home all the time because i can't afford to ge myself a beer. i just found out i have to clear out dad's unit on my own/with my own money. fuckkkk. give me a break god damn it.
sigh
also it pisses me off that i feel like i should spend money on things that wouldn't and don't return the favour. blaow, eat drama suckuhs!

These are just the inks/letters of the first page.

| [ART + UPDATE] |
[May. 6th, 2009|12:49 am] |
LIVEJOURNAL FRIENDS AND READERS OF MY BLOG.
i am feeling pretty shitty at the moment. and with that shitty energy i have i'm putting it all into art kind of like a distraction. for those of you who don't know, my dad is in hospital at the moment, within a month of being told he needs to be on dialysis, he fell down on Keilor Road and broke his hip. He's not young, he's the age of most peoples grandfathers actually.
so he's not too good at the moment but i'm playing down the severity of this and its impact that i didn't really see coming.
anyway i wanted to get that out in the electronic open area.
lets talk about ART.
A dude from work just commissioned me to draw him a neck tattoo of sparrows, one on each side of his neck. He didn't really give me much creative boundrys other then " just make them look awesome " so that was kind of a big plus. so i decided they needed like weapons and scars and to look like there was some sort of deathmatch going on or about to take place
anyway Harley saw my sketches and gave me the go ahead to use the ideas i came up with and was pretty stoked, i'm liking how it's turning out so i thought i'd share the pencils with you guys here

what do you guys think? hit me up!
also i just joined twitter.

sup
just a shorty. Dad's still in hospital; Just broke his hip recently in keilor road and it looks like he's not going to be walking for at least 5 months but even then; will he walk after that who knows. The days are passing fast and i'm grinding into art daily trying to push my boundries to add more details and further develop the perfect beat to put the polish on my style and get me somewhere. It's going to be a long journey but if i'm going to try to reach my goals i may aswell go balls deep with effort. fuck yeah. feeling really inspired lately and i'm drawing much more than usual.
music... i need something new, but for now i'm really just getting into the Ocarina of Ryhme mixtape by Team Teamwork. Shit is hot as hell. Can't get it off my mind. Tess started playing Ocarina of Time on the gamecube.
anyway i gotta sleep. i got work in the morning. Hopefully it'll be another productive one.

Just finished this; thought i'd put it up here to show you guys. I'm trying to get a bit better with colours because i rarely colour and i figure i should put more time into it. Lately i've been inking a lot more and drawing a lot more in general. May 1st is just around the corner and mid-year courses are annouced at RMIT then so i'm dedicating a lot of my time to ART. Anyway; Hope you guys dig!

i'm not just not updating; i have 2 weeks worth of weekly sass typed up at work ready to go; problem is that they've cut my access to the internet. i may e-mail it all to myself and update.
life:
working hard on art; i think i'm getting better at drawing sequentials.
started up a "studio" or team or whatever with daniel and mike to create stuff. like comics.
work > rest > work.
very little play.
sigh.

WEEKLY SASS: VOLUME 7
Has it really been that long since i've updated this?
LET'S GET INTO IT like philosophers into hell and start straight up with this double edition Weekly Sass to make up for the past two weeks. Current situation: Moving still. Making sure the old unit is all clean, spick and span and ready so i can get my bond back and clear out some of my debt. Our new place is quite bitchin and Public Bar is literally on the way home so next monday might be fun if i decide to go. MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
Model: Chairman
Brand: Ulysses Nardin

Imagine if phones were built like kinetic watches. You know, the ones that you shake in order to charge. You would never have to worry about a charger or finding a place to plug a charger in; you could go on a spontainous road trip for 8 days to nimbin and still your phone would remain charged the whole time! now imagine that phone is blinged up almost steampunk style with accents of gold and even a few diamonds in it and give it all the features of a luxuary smart phone. Cool huh? that's the Ulysses Nardin Chairman. Kinetic powered hybrid watch x smart phone limited to 500 pieces made. I'd love to get my hands on one of these but lets be reasonable; i haven't got the kind of cash to afford that. and if YOU do, then YOU probably have too much money and i'm jealous. :(

This is one of those things you find on the internet and the hilarity/grossout of the shit on the site makes it almost impossible not to check back. i find myself somehow ending up on this site once a month at work, screwing up my face and laughing with co-workers or friends about the types of people that would cook up and eat this type shit on a regular basis. If you're bored or waiting for a train where wi-fi is enabled or something; check out this site.
deliciously disgusting
Honestly; i find that one to be a personal favourite because i'm really not a big fan of oreos and i find the filling stuff too sugary. so the idea that someone took this much time to make a stack is hilarious, but i tell you this is -tame- compared to the other stuff you'll see on this site. like the deep fried white castle burgers, or the bacon explosion wellington! check it out; it won't disappoint.
Model: Plasma Dunny
Artist: Dustin Cantrell

So you might or might not know that i love vinyl toys. Unfortunately i don't have the funds spare to build up a collection... even though they're cheaper than kicks [note to self, consider cutting purchases of kicks and replacing kicks fund with vinyl toy fund] But anyway; i saw this a while back and wanted to blog it because of how awesome it is. It's a kidrobot dunny that's been custom'd to have a tesla influenced plasma-globe head. it's fully functional and is a fully functional 400%. Right up there with the flying fortress dunny i blogged way back in early days of Weekly Sass [also seen in the phantom Weekly Sass Volume Zero] Fresh to deathhhhh.
Title: Thank You And You're Welcome
Author: Kanye West, J. Sakiya Sandifer
Source:Hami from Work, Hypebeast
A Colleague of mine recently dropped this on my desk and told me to have a read to which i was quite surprised. I do like Kanye West but i also think his arrogance is tiring when he got a lot of press based on things like bumrushing Justice over not winning an award for the Touch the Sky video. But putting all that asside i read the book and i actually enjoyed it. with a strong focus on the design/appearance of the book; it's not exactly your Sun Tzu's Art of War, but it is a light inspirational pick-me-up style read that would be perfect for your coffee table... Also, i love coffee table books. I'll be buying myself a copy of this even after reading it.
Model: Chuck Taylor All Star Hi
Artist: Pink Floyd

Oh my. I find myself really enjoying some of the new chucks coming out but at the same time i can't bring myself to actually buy another pair. i just don't find them as comfortable as dunks or any structured sneaker. I used to love chucks; but now the design team seems to have really uped the ante. I'm really feeling these ones, the rainbow carries around the body to the inner side of the chuck and ends near the rivets at the bottom. black on black sole always looks decent and the heartline moniter sole looks kinda fresh. If i ever got these they'd probably only be for around the house or when pasting or something but yeah. still a nice design.
Model: Air Force 2
Colourway: "Nintendo Wii"
Source: Hypebeast
BANGIN', BANGIN', BANGIN'. I don't care what any of you say; these are fucking AWESOME. When it comes to the air force range i've always liked the Air Force 2 more than the 1. Air Force 2 just has a nicer structure. the build is chunky and padded, closer to a boot than just a sneaker. but GAD DAYUM. these blow my mind. i hope we get these out here because these are most definitely my next purchase, next to the Air Yeezy. Fuck the haters! I'm in love! It's like a dunk and a skytop had a passionate affair; then the dunk had to give it to air force to raise as its own. what became of those events is fucking BUTTERY. ostrich skin... mmm....
  
Title: Bol
Artist: Vincent Giard
Source: aencre
Not sure how i found this little comic on the net but i did and i really like it a lot. i wonder whether it was hand animated or not, i really love the way that Vincent Giard eased in the warped surroundings; it feels very nicely paced without being too in your face or intrusive. i'm also quite a fan of the colours he used with orange as a base color. Click out the source link to view the full comic; i think it's really well done but i guess to each his own.
WELL i'm off for now guys, hope you've enjoyed this week's WEEKLY SASS. i apologise that i can't make this longer but my time is limited between working and working on my secret project. hopefully you guys are geared up to see what it is; all i will say is that stage one is almost finished and i can't wait to finish stage two. enjoy your weekend ladies and gents! keep it sassy! i've gotta get back to the drawing board!!!
PEACE

I'm in the process of moving house currently and can't really post much, i'm hoping to keep doing weekly sass but my internet usage is now heavily restricted; just a few things i thought i'd just throw up here in the meantime!
firstly: friends... please stop the hating. whoever set up that "ragkid" tumblr [geoff?] that's seriously so lame. can't you guys just all grow up and not have internet fights?
secondly: i am drawing more than ever! i recently tracked down some bristol board and look forward to cutting it up and giving it a test run... maybe i'll even put it up here!
thirdly: house warming will be soon; if we're tight you might score an invite; just hit me up if you wanna come and i'll send you the details or something. we'll see how many we can have... we need a sound system or something :(
anyway the new place is sick; photos soon. definitely exciting times; drama is winding up i think; haters keep on hating [booooourns] and art is strong as an ox! just like the true saikyo style!!!
YOSHHH!

Here's some junk i did today on pchat, trying to use colour more and shade better. i was showing some art peeps my new hair on pchat today by drawing it on a character because i didn't want to do a selfy. plus this has cooler shades on his skin and is much more than a badass than me because he can grow facial hair and has an ear piercing; coupled with the ability of sucking his cheeks in so much that he looks like he's been doing the fish-face.
enjoy
