WE HAVE A WEB COMIC ABOUT OUR SUPER DUPER AWESOME GAY FRIENDSHIP!!!
I finally finished the first strip to the Root Beer & Bromos comic that Chris and I have started together. I have two more strips to draw up that Chris has given me.
Sorry for the simpleness to the drawing, but I really get caught up in what it should look like. I tend to make things more pretty and spend tons of time doing it. So, simple means less time and more time drawing our inside jokes. I will probably set up a new site to make it more like a web comic type thing that I've seen. But, I don't know right now. Blogging is doing fine for me, so meh.
Also, Mazy the Cat has a special debut in this comic. It isn't cannon but It's a running joke with me that I can magically turn into a cat. Chris says how when I made Mazy the Cat, I was basing it off of me and I am Mazy the Cat. I don't really agree with it, but again I don't disagree either. I don't know I just love cats and I made Mazy.
I've been playing Pokémon Black for a while and thought of my very first Pokémon. It was Charmander when I first played the Red version back in the day. I called him Fire for some odd kid like reason. I haven't played it since the Yellow version. So when Chris and I started Pokémon after years from playing it, I had to start with Tepig. Chris started with Oshawott, but I can still kick his ass.
Ever since my ex-girlfriend cheated on me, I have had a tough time of letting go and moving on. I repeatedly do think about that night when I found out she cheated on me.
She came home drunk as she always did but this time it was with a guy friend I never liked. Another druggy and drunk friend from her past. She told me to go sleep at my Aunts and Uncles place down the road. I refused and she went back out to hang out with her friend.
They began to smoke some pot and make out. I came out and they guy got up in my face telling me how I never provide for her and how he could do better then me. He also didn't have a job and wasn't really looking. I don't think with his record and drug habits he would ever get a job and not run the risk of getting stabbed by a Mexican Gang.
He punched me and the person I am, I broke down crying and yelling at my ex blaming her. Just a little background of why I broke down and started to cry. When I was in school I would always get picked on. I was home schooled for two years because it go so bad, I would beat up my bullies in class. During that time I learned I could bypass the fighting by just laughing it off. I never liked to fight and I found a way to not fight and get the bullies to not pick on me anymore. Ok, now that's out of the way. Back to the story.
I grabbed a knife and fitting the urge to kill him, I sliced my forearm and left the house. My ex began to run after me with the guy following with my car keys telling me to take my car. When I got to the street of the apartment complex a cop car pulled up and called for an ambulance. They picked me up and I began to completely break down. I got seven stitches to my forearm. I moved back into my parents, at the time they were stationed in Lima, Peru.
In Peru, I was extremely depressed. I didn't want to be in Peru at all. After learning that I couldn't kill myself, I ran away and slept on the streets for a night until my parents found me. I made the video that really helped me in so many ways.
This was My Suicide Note to everyone, oddly it struck a chord with me and I fell in love with this piece and It brought me back to wanting to live and create Art.
Oh by the way, I learned that the guy never left the house, tried to kill my ex
I saw a video on YouTube "Justin Bieber getting shot for 10 Minutes". I never knew that he was on CSI: Las Vegas. It's been a long while since I've watched an episode, but after learning about that I wanted to make a mash-up video. It's pretty short but I made a drum beat out of the gun shots.
It's pretty fucking shitty but I was inspired by the video down below. Clapping Music, I thought it was pretty cool so I wanted to try and do something like this... I guess.
At American Eagle they have this song that plays on the tv in the back of the store. It's a song about all the jeans at American Eagle. Everyone who works at the store thinks the song sucks and I have to agree. I mentioned how I could make a remix of the song to one of the managers and she said to do it, so I did it.
I drew a version of this on the DS game Art Academy. Kial and I were sitting and waiting for the fireworks to get started in Takoma Park. She pointed out a balloon floating away, up to the sky to never be seen again.
I had a music video cover that Olan Rogers did called The Balloon stuck in my head and also a little sad girl.
while heading home from the subway, I was blasting Sigur Rós and thought of the idea. What if the balloons were her parents? It's sad, I know but so pretty at the same time. But, I always try and find the pretty in sad moments.
Btw, It's so cool that Sigur Rós had a big part of this idea. Thanks Alex for adding the idea of the girl reaching for the balloons.
