Like many people on here I am a little (see; VERY) bad at updating my Journal. But here be a new post. Not much is new I am trucking on drawing and all that usual thing but one of the big things is I am involved with a kickstarter comic anthology called Monstrosity II www.kickstarter.com/projects/4…

  It is winding down and has already been funded but for higher production value and all those types of stretch goals you can still go over there and throw some money behind it. Whether you have the cash or not it would be great if you could check it out maybe leave a comment. I love getting to interact with people and I am sure the other guys on the project would love to hear from you as well :D Other than that I am posting a new crafting comic page today and will have some new Deep Down stuff out soon so pyou can keep your eye out for that :D

(but totally check out the kickstarter plug plug plug) :D

Story Time!

5 min read
--Thursday--
Walking down the street
"HEY,excuse me...hey hey!"
Turn to see a couple of high school girls.
HG1- " Uhm yeah... we are playing a game" (I start looking for cops or the candid camera video crew out of the corner of my eye.) " Uh... and I need a picture of a 'hug from a stranger' so... can I get a hug and a picture?" (add Chris Hansen to the list of people I am assuming are waiting to jump me)
Me- " Uh... okay"
Awkward hug, cell phone camera click.
Hg1- " Thanks you!" Hg1 to Hg2- " Come on we have to hurry *giggle* *giggle*"
And away they go.
I walk further up the street wondering if that is one of those things that is going to come back and bite me when a car pulls up and a high school bro pops his head out the passenger window.
Hbro- "Hey man, uh did you just give a hug to a stranger?"
Me- "Uh... yup."
Hbro- " DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!... wait... can I have a hug?"
Me- "... If you need one."
Hbro- " Awesome!"
Hbro hopes out of the car wraps me up in a bro bear hug, driver snaps a pic and he jumps back in the car with cries of, " COME ON! COME ON!  We gotta hurry!" And away they go.
I walk the rest of the way home wonder what game was being played amused at having been a peice in it :)

--Saturday--
I am sitting in a coffee shop booth, drinking my oh so delicious coffee with cinnamon and drawing. I make a major mistake I usually don't make, especially when I have earphones in and can pretend to be oblivious, I look up when I hear.
Guy-"Excuse me sir."
Me-" Hello"
As he sits himself down at my booth I make the further observation that this isn't just a guy he is in fact...
Drunkguy- " Can I ask you for a bit of help sir.?"
What the... am I getting pan handled inside a coffee shop? Sure in Toronto I would expect that but this is the suburbs!
Me- " Whats up?"
Drunkguy- " I need to use the internet to find my brothers phone number, can I use your computer?"
Now I try not to be a dick generally speaking but as a person who is wicked paranoid about who and how people use his tech stuff there is no way I am putting my compy in the hands of a guy who is obviously drunk with coffee still dripping from his lips and mustache. It just isn't going to happen.
Me-" Uh I am sorry but I can't connect this compy to the internet. It is a bit old and I just use it for work so I can't help with that."
Drunkguy- "Oh..." Drunk thought processes seem to have a problem getting going.
Me- " If there is something else I can help with"
DrunkG- " Can I use your phone to call my brother?"
Me- " If you give me the number I can give him a call for yo.."
DrunkG- (cutting me off) " I don't know the number. That's what I need the internet for."
Me- " Oh... well I can't help with the number part, but if you can find the number I can help with the call." (hoping he is going to get interested in the idea of going and asking somebody else to use thier computer)
DrunkG- " I ... uhhh... just gonna sit and finish my coffee, that okay?"
Me- " Okay" (don't puke or pick a fight with me drunkguy, oh god don't puke or pick a fight with me drunkguy, is my mental mantra at this point.)
DrunkG- " I am Al Pachino"
Me- " O.o"
DrunkG- " I am Al Pachino, does that make any sense to you?"
Me- " No."
DunkG- " I am Walt Disney"
Me- (oh man this seems like a bad turn of events) " Okay"
DrunkG- " Does that make any sense to you? Do you believe me?"
Me- " I don't understand what your..."
DrunkG- (cutting me off) " I bet you didn't expect me to say that, just like you didn't expect me to be such a nice guy..."
Me- (cutting him off this time not wanting to get into an involved conversation about his good qualities) " I am really sorry and I don't want to be rude but I have some work I have to do so I need to get to it."
DrunkG- " Then don't be rude and don't..."
Me- (cutting him off, now the score is 2/2 for cut offs) " Yeah but I am on deadline so I really have to get it done, sorry. Let me know if you get that number."
DrunkG- " Oh... okay... I..."
He gets up and goes to harass some other table where the staff catches site of this and promptly asks him to leave.
Sum up- I didn't get punched or puked on... pretty good all in all. And I apparently met Walt Disney and Al Pachino at the same time :)

Random people week was RANDOM!

ps. I got featured in :iconteazs: Big is Beautiful II news article here news.deviantart.com/article/14… :D

Japan got hit by an 8.9 earthquake, and that means many other places are on the alert for incoming tsunami's. Hopefully, within the context of earthquakes and tsunami's, things go as well as possible. realtime straight from japan www.ustream.tv/channel/jboyjap…

Edit # 2- The " I am an idiot" Edits- 2 of em :D

I also forgot to add :iconcerealboystudios: and :iconcinsev: Damn the memory is all going to crap. And second the Deep Down strip that should have been up yesterday is now up, which is really REALLY dumb as I had it done on tues an just forgot to upload :S Ought elven may be a year that is looking good off the bat... but damn it sometimes I wonder, with the way things seem to be going, whether I will remember it dur doing!

EDIT- Noots I totally forgot to add :iconskulldude: to the list of peoples you should go harass :S

So ought ten (I know your probably not supposed to use "ought for any year after 09 but until I hit the teens I am gonna keep using it :) )  is gone and done and we are into ought elven.  And overall the last year was pretty rockin, lota fun, lota peoples... yep it is pluggery time :D :iconbrian-evinou: , :iconjinguj: but apparently you should go harass her at her tumbir hmya jho-tan.tumblr.com/ , :iconlisatao: , :iconcoelasquid: , :iconzarmactacus: , :iconyawzer: ... those are the ones I can remeber that are on DA but if I forgot you (yes I do happen to have the memory of a amnesiac gold fish) Let me know and I will add you in. These are all peoples who's pages you should go to, watch, fav and harass to put more work up.

As for ought eleven it is off to a good start, I am going strong on Deep Down and I am pleased at having fallen into the schedule of putting it out. When some one offers me money I am focused like a LAZAR! But sometimes when it is my own project I can be less than diligent about it so having it rolling along smoothly... well makes me a vera happy gah. In other Diochon comic news I got a project in the works through :iconstudio-for-hire: called Til Death, promo image is here fav.me/d36h3m4 . So if you like what I do you can look forward to getting a look at that, and if you don't like what I do there should be plenty there for you to mock... so everybody should be covered :D

I hope the year has had a good start for you as well and that we are all incredibly lucky this year... before the world ends in 2012 :D
