I wanted to try my hand at inking and colouring so I spent the last 2 weeks (off and on) on this:
While I was doing that and learning all these great things about how to ink stuff I did a mock up of one of the tattoos I plan on getting in the future. This is far from what the finished tat will look like but check it out anyway.
So I was doin some messing around on deviant art the other night and saw some “chibi” and thought I’d make my own. This is what I came up with.

IDEA!!
I’m sure if you’ve spent enough time on youtube lately you’ve noticed that there are alot of videos that dont have any sound due to copywrite violation. Well I have an idea… and since I have no camera atm (besides a crappy webcam) I’m just gunna give it to you good folks to use.
Here it is. Start filming videos without sound… like the good old fasion days before they had sound on film. And for added fun add soundtracks that you know will get pulled due to copywrite violation just to mess with the corporations. 
Enjoy! and if you make one be sure to link me to it in the comments. 
K! so I decided to draw something. Not sure why I used this graffiti program in facebook… but I think it turned out pretty good.
I was going to finish off what I started yesterday… but I decided to do a little fan art since the other pic would have taken way to long with this program.
This is a girl from a comic called Battlefield Babysitter.
Who am I?
Who am I supposed to be? What purpose do I have in this world?
Am I an insignificant dot jotted down on the page of eternity, or am I something more?
Am I useful in this world, what can I do, what can I accomplish?
I have many directions and one destination. There are infinite roads and yet far fewer goals.
Which roads are false which should I not go down? They all look very similar at the start yet yield different endings. They intertwine like vines confusing me yet making it easier to find my way forward. Like water through weaving rivers I rush toward my goals. Yet doubts dam me like vines blocking my route along a road. I find myself trapped, confused, and at times alone.
Most of the time these dams have been placed by the same person taking the journey. Myself. Yet I don’t realize this and blame others. All the time not realizing I have the key. And I alone can release the flood gates on my own journey and continue toward my goals.
How do I determine what these goals are? Are they truly the goals I seek?
I seek a better life. I seek to be free. Free from the captivity of my own thinking.
How do I achieve this? Do I dare thrust myself down one of these paths? Do I dare journey into the unknown, with only a few vague glimpses of my future to guide me?
I must.
These roads are treacherous and deadly. They contain many pearls. The least of these are barbs that cut away at my soul, wearing me down, making me age inside, and out. Still I dare to venture down those paths into the unknown. Who knows what awaits me next?
Many things lie down paths of the mind. They hold mysterious beauties and jewels beyond imagination. These treasures of the mind reflect in the physical world and can be seen by others. They are unmistakable. I will carry them with me always. Unless through utter insanity I and they are lost, but even then there is hope. They are reflections of my journey and help me in what is to come.
In order to find these jewels I must take steps… steps on these roads of the unknown. With only my wits and mindset to guide me. I must journey never ceasing. For if I stop and look back for a moment I can already feel my feet sinking into obscurity and isolation.
Along the way there are lights to illuminate my path and help me to know which direction to take. But these lights can also distract from my true path and where I know I must go. Who is to know what lights are good and are trustworthy and which are leading me astray. Gut instinct prevails in these intertwining jungles of the mind knowing the path and taking it are one and the same. There is no turning back. Only left or right. The more time I spend looking at where I have gone the more I realize I have already ventured somewhere and who is to know where that is. Only I can know by looking forward and surveying what is to come.
No matter where I end up on this road no matter where my destination I know the journey will be wrought with adventure, passion, unknown joys, unknown sorrows, and many things I yet not know. But as long as I keep moving foreword I’m bound to discover these many things of the mind and of the journey we call life.
I am the journeyman and my trail is unknown to all.
I broke my iPod Touch screen quite a while ago, yet everything seemed to work fine except for the screen being cracked. It would have cost me 120 large to replace (even under warranty) so I didn’t bother. Then it came to me… why not do it myself?
So I looked up a replacement screen online. It only cost me $24 bucks on eBay. In a week or so I had my new screen all the way from china. I popped open my iPod with a pocket knife and got to work. Took me a couple days to get glue and a small screw driver. But it was fairly easy and only took me a couple of hours work, once I got the tools.
Here’s how I did it:
there’s also a video of how to get at the screen on youtube
Voila! I now have a brand new screen and it only cost me $24 bucks!!
One small issue. The middle of the digitizer doesn’t seem to work to well. This may have something to do with how well connected it, or the sensor band not being fully connected to the screen.
I’m going to pop my iPod back open and figure it out or just take the iPod to future shop and get them to fix it cuz its still under warranty and they don’t know I replaced the screen 
(see edit)
And for everyone wondering where the art is I’m sorry there will be more next post promise!
EDIT: Took it back to Future Shop. I told them the screen malfunctioned and they are in the process of replacing it as we speak.
If you don’t have the warranty and run into the same issue of the screen only working in some spots there are some quick fixes out there… there’s a youtube video of a guy using a lighter to warm up the sensor band so it adheres to the screen plate better. I would have done this myself if I couldn’t get Future Shop to replace the screen.
I’m working on one of my tattoo designs (wich I’ve been doing for ages) and I came across this little tidbit while looking through some heraldry art. I found quite a few more but this one I just had to share.
Latin:
Perge, Scelus, Mihi Diem Perficias
Official translation:
Proceed, varlet, and let the day be rendered perfect for my benefit.
Intended rendition:
Go ahead, punk, make my day.
Aint it great? thank the College of Arms for the laugh.
still dont know what I’m going to use for my tattoo though.
ps. If you were wondering what the title heading says it’s “Always where under where” roughly translated as “Always wear underwear” hur hur.
Made another logo today hope you like! This should be the final logo for now.
Finally downloaded photoshop… I think it helped
Whipped this up for a friend of mine who wanted a christmas hat on her kid… I went a little nuts with it.
And yeah im still using ms paint. Havent bothered to download photoshop.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Wow… that took forever. I dunno why I subject myself to drawing with a mouse… It’s hard enough drawing with a mouse in photoshop let alone drawing with one in MS PAINT!
I’m taking donations if anyone wants to buy me a wacom.
I just finished the new logo hope you guys like it… its not really new its off my old site, but I liked it so much that I reused the font and drew out the lettering for this site. anyways ENJOY!
I hope to get more up here in a day or so. In the mean time if you havent seen any of my art before check out my deviantart site
And no dont worry thats not the perminent logo… it will have to do untill I have access to a scanner and a decent photo editor.
If you were wondering here’s the old logo:
