LOOK! It's RED!

I noticed two days ago that one of my cayenne pepper is all red. It happened over night, from green to bright red! It's a lovely pepper too, proper size. Now I'm just wondering if I should harvest it or leave it on the branch. Apparently the longer they stay on the branch the spicier they become. I'll wait.

A lot of my work and time was sunk on the comic last weekend and today. Something is coming up and I don't want to spoil it. There's also a lot of website work coming my way, two very different designs too. Along with that comes some possible game design and game graphics. When so much work needs to be done I'm definitely happy that the weather is so bad!

My arms are hurting lately from sitting all crippled all day at my desk. Unbelievable that after all that time working at a computer, I still can't find a good position to sit down and work.

I go back to vectorizing the world and more...

Won Long Leg; The Legend

Yesterday, we were talking and somehow in the conversation slipped the sentence: ''only one long leg was sticking out''. I misunderstood, and he repeated it, he spoke it wrong and it became: ''Won Long Leg''. Which I made out to be some Chinese guy.

So began the work on this lovely poster for the Won Long Leg movie. His ultimate kung-fu skill would obviously be the kicking part (or running, long legs do that too...). The fun part in making this poster was to imagine the movie and remembering Chinese movies I have seen. How did the pockets  look? What were the titles like? Why do they always look so cheap yet so epic?

It's still pretty much in yellow tone, like all my drawings. P says I'm in a yellow-phase. Some people have a purple phase, I turn to yellow to make me comfortable. I can't help it. Maybe someday I'll just have enough of the yellow and turn to something more decent like... say... orange? *just kidding*

I'm updating the comic tonight and some bonus are coming up in the next few weeks. So, please have a look at www.skull-collector.com

Good Times

I drew this about three years ago and I think it was meant to depict how the world is going wrong. Unfortunately (or fortunately!), I didn't write it down and have completely forgotten what it was about.

The jetlag is officially over, I can start living again. So much so, I even went to a wedding two days ago. A friend of mine was getting married and she looked really pretty! The reception was perfect, the food was brilliant and the guests were all really nice.

On my way to the wedding, I had time to go through a much liked neighborhood of Berlin. I, on the other hand, do not like that particular neighborhood. I'm not going to call names on my city, or claim the neighborhood I live in as best.

That particular neighborhood is; dirty, has high criminality, smells bad, is not cleaned, has no flowers on the streets, has high number of unemployed, has high number of immigrants (I'm one myself, so I can use that), and is the center of what calls itself 'berlin's artistic community'.
Every tourist wants to see that particular neighborhood.

The neighborhood I live in is; clean, has a castle to visit, offers nice clean parks, is covered in totally normal living houses and totally normal german and immigrants people that do not freak at you and do not drink or make music in the tube station.
Only locals visit the neighborhood I live in.

That said, my friend's wedding was in that neighborhood and against all my expectations (considering the neighborhood) were wrong. The restaurant was beautiful, the service was good and the food was good.

Ah! I should stop ranting...

Fly Eastwards!

Flying back eastwards always gives me the feeling that a day has gone missing! Well, at least the jetlag reminds me that it is a real possibility. I left at 3pm and arrived at 3pm the next day, flying a total of seven hours, during which I couldn't sleep at all.

In other news, I had a lot of fun drawing while away. I'm now turning these drawings into vector files and will post whenever a new one is ready. Not to mention that I also need to work on the comic and upcoming games. It's doesn't look like I'll be going to the beach anytime soon!

One of the drawings I made is the one above. I plan on making some french learning flash cards with important verbs words and sentences. It's a fun little project and since it can be done one card at a time, it's not too demanding.

I'll update soon again with more vectorized files and news.

Poutine Is NOT a Cure For Jetlag

The flight was rather smooth, considering that I was sitting beside a 7 months old child. Since I arrived here it's been all about food and the amazing weather. The summer isn't exactly long here, and 30 degrees are nice; especially if there's a pool in the backyard. Tomorrow I'll be driving to the next little town with the pick-up truck! Excitement is killing me.

I drew quite a lot, but I don't have access to the computer too much. The best of these drawings will be vectorized when I get home. I pretty much like the idea of making french flash cards with the pantomime.

Something went wrong when I tried uploading the new comic pages and I have to admit; the service with domain express is fantastic! Everytime I've had problems I used the live chat feature and it worked like a charm.

I ate two poutines already since I'm here. I might weight 10lbs more when I come home. The fatigue is mostly gone now however. No more of the constant headaches and sleepiness! I never had real jetlag before...

Now I'm very much looking forward to going back home and caring for my plants again. Apparently the watermelons are huge and we have tons of cayenne peppers!

This has to be the most unconnected post you've read in a while!
Vacations do that to people, apparently.
