8/29/2008 - Hi kids! long time no post.Posted by Neneuche |
I've had it rough.
I have been trying to cope with my head going all over the place but it's not easy.
I have a bunch of cool art at work but I ain't allowed to show you guys what the dillio because of all the corporate bullcrap we have to sin when they hire us.
My 3rd book illustration work is out now. I think the graphic artist messed the front page, but whatever.
It's the story of a humming bird who has a feather in its eye. I had other ideas for the cover, but they really wanted the cat and the bird and the feather so you gotta do what you gotta do. I am including the artwork and the book image so you can see the difference.
Feeeeeeee!! See how the letters are all over the place? Meh. I couldn't find a biger image online and I'm too lazy to scan the book.
Oh and leave me comments or I think you don't like me.
I'm needy.

Hey guys. I know I've been a bad blogger but my heart isn't into it that much. I have drawings but they aren't scanned and my computer is dead and has been for weeks. I'm using my boyfriend's pc now.
Recent events:
-Broke my left hand and had surgery
-Had to get a medical leave of absence and got only partialy paid for a while
-I'm terribly depressed and I lost my appetite.
-I lost 7 pounds.
I feel horrible all the time.
I'm 28; I feel like I'm stagnant and old.
So yeah, not the best part of my life.
I'm getting help.
Here's a funny cat to lightn this crap mood.
I'll post art soon. |

1/8/2008 - Happy New Year!!Posted by Neneuche |
Hi kids!
I know, I know I suck at blogging.
Well, I had a pretty cool new years celebration except my boyfriend and I fought in front of our guests, but I guess that was bound to hapen since heavy drinkin was involved. It's cool now.
As promissed here is the cover of the book I drew in last summer. I'm doing another one now, totaly different story and style.
Anywho, I'd better specify that this image is property of Éditionsdu Phoenix and that I do not own it, even if I drew it.
That said, hope you like it. All the best in 2008! I think we're due.
It looked better last summer. I see lots of things wrong with it now. Bah! the curse of the artist!

11/30/2007 - What updates?Posted by Neneuche |
Ok, my bad. I sowy.
I haven't even been that busy. I've just been lazy and relieved. First order of business, my cat is all better. He has a genetic disese and it can't be cured but it is treatable and he can still have a good 3-4-5 years ahead. He's just like before except he sleeps a little more, runs a lot less and is a lot more affectionate.
Alos I'm doing another book cover.
Totaly different strory.
The other is out tough, so I am allowed to pimp my art, tough the illustration was badly cropped. I'll post the whole thing when I'm sober.
:P
 I have so much christmass shopping to get done!
GRAH! |

10/28/2007 - LegoPosted by Neneuche |
Here's my cat. His name is Lego and I love him so much.
 Here, he's hidding in the sheets I am removing to put in the wash.
He became suddenly sick Thursday. Not eating, vomiting and breathing strangely. The vet said it was probably pulmonary but then he said the x-rays showed no problem and they reffered us to a better equiped place. There, they said the x-rays DID show a problem and he was probably experiencing liquid on his lungs due to heart failure. I cried a lot. He was between life and death last night but this morning, he's better and there is hope yet. If he survives tough, he'll have to be medicated for the rest of his life, just like a person. This is gonna cost us a bundle and we'll probably have an imaginary Christmas this year. I feel kind of bad that I am paying so much for a cat while there are starving homeless people and sick children. But I would feel terrible if I just said " Oh, this is too exepensive, let's just let him die." He's a member of our family and he loves us with such honesty and no conditions; I couldn't let him go without a fight. He's not out of the woods yet but he's better and that's the best we could hope for.
He cost me so much already from all his urinary infections and special food that he needs. It's probably the most expensive stray cat in the universe. Lucky he's so fucking adorabe.
"YAY! Imagination Christmas!" |

10/9/2007 - Happy fun crazy too little updates time!! ^_^Posted by Neneuche |
I've been quite a bad panda these past week and have not updated this blog enough.
Well, nothing really eventful happened. My new job is OK I guess. Not too different than the previous one except I get paid more and have better hours. But I miss my old buddies even if I have some new ones and some old ones already worked there wen I joined.
You know who you are!
:)
I changed birth-control pill in hope that my skin will clear up a little. But I have had no results as of yet. This pill is supposed to help with skin breakouts... no so much. The pamphlet says it might take up to 3 months... ew. I hate having zits at my age! And not little ones; big painful ones that take weeks to fully go away. Anyways, the new pill is making me retain water and I feel like a contestant on "The Biggest Loser".
It's a well spread stereotype that most black men like a girl with "humps in the back and in the front". So should I take it that I'm overweight if a random black man asks for my phone number in the metro? I mean, he looked nice and all and was not insistent when I told him I had a boyfriend, but I didn't feel attractive at all that day. And that he thought I was hot didn't really cheer me up because of that preconception that he probably likes some cushin for the pushin. Maybe I am wrong and I hope that it's not racist for me to have thought that, but I still felt pretty lame.
On a lighter note, my friend and I got asked for ID last Friday. We're 9 years over drinking age, so we took it as a compliment. Maybe he thought we were young because of my horrible zit. It was funny.
Here's something I drew at the local Dr. Sketchy. I have more but hey look like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
This took about 5 minutes I think.

October 3, 2007 - ARTWORK: Wonder WomanPosted by Tinman2040 |
So you want some new art I guess??? Okay heres a new one howsabout my first ever Wonder Woman. I've tried before at doing WW but she just never came out right. Anyway if you like it leave a comment because unfortunately my mind reading ability doesn't reach long distances!
It was a good chance to finally test out Illustrator on my new laptop and to almost iron out the issues of putting 7 year old software onto a new operating system. Its still not quite right but I'm working around it. Now if only I could get Photoshop to work on this thing. Oh yeah..... if anyone knows of a free image conversion program that can convert AI files into JPEG then please let me know I'm getting tired of having to move from computer to computer.
I gotta say the ButterFlies in my stomach have begun to aflutter with the prospect of my meeting with Bruce Timm next weekend. My friends have been egging me on to show him some of my artwork but I really don't want to destroy the illusion of Mr Timm actually liking it. I don't know really feeling very conflicted right now......
I found out my old friend SammyG is also going to the Armageddon Expo so atleast we will have fun there pointing and laughing at the geeks.....Oh wait I'm a Geek.....Dammit!!
My Joker Keyring has still yet to arrive, Oh I hope it comes Tomorrow!! More Artwork on the way!! |

September 29, 2007 - Coolest Thing EVER!!!Posted by Tinman2040 |
So I got this laptop backpack a bit over a month ago and I needed a keyring for one of the ties on it so I decided to try and find a little cool one to put on it. I just chucked in the EBAY search engine 'batman' for a bit of fun and low behold THEY EXIST!!!! Not only that but from the animated series............
So I totally fell in love with the Joker Head Keyring (right of picture) and so did everyone else for that matter but I was determined to own it. And after a long and expensive fight I now I do own it well almost..... waiting on it to arrive hopefully later this week. I seriously think this is the coolest keyring ever and its the kind of thing that could be stolen quite easily. So anyway what do you guys think is it cool?????
I know a few of you want to see some new art from me soon and I respect that, I have one or two pieces that I am finishing now and will be posting up soon with more on the way. After some teething problems I got Illustrator to work on my lappy with only a few bugs to fix but still I'm really happy about that!!
Got back tonight from watching 'Ying Tong' a stage production of the story of Spike Milligans Mental break down when he was in the Goons. It was very good with some funny and also sad moments I hope that one day I can find someone that is as cultured as I am because I know very few people who love the theatre experience nowadays!!
Short one today folks
-Matt

September 22, 2007 - Subliminal Message: Women Are Evil!!Posted by Tinman2040 |
So I'm in a bit of shock tonight I was watching the local news on TV and I discovered to my horror that a store in my home town was Burning down. It's called MYER and it also happens to be where I bought my recent and coolest bit of hardware my new 'LAPTOP'.
Its one of the biggest multi-stores in Hobart that sells everything from dvds to underwear. And now its gone up in a ball of flames. I guess your thinking why the hell should I be upset with something like this no-one died they all made it out safely and its just a shop.
But you see this is an old building it goes back to the early 1800's, I remember going there when I was just Five years old and seeing them put up posters of the 'new' Flash Gordon movie and playing with muppet show toys in that store. Its where my parents bought our very first video recorder 25 years ago although thankfully we didn't get the Beta machine. I've even known people that worked there. Now its just gone.
Its pretty much just fond memories and people who know me know I'm a very sentimental guy. The last time I was there was only this week on Thursday. I had a quick browse but its one of those places where if they didn't have anything on special the prices were way too high. The last thing I bought from there was the tickets to the armageddon expo for next month so lucky I decided to get them early.
So now they are estimating the damages not only to the myer store but the surrounding buildings as well its quite close to the only comic store in Hobart so I hope thats okay!! It seems that it will be closed until after christmas while they decide on what to do next. This will make a significant impact into our local economy so it will be interesting to see what rises from the ashes. I'm going there on monday so will stick my nose in and see if I can get close to the damage and get some photos of it. (EDIT) So I just heard they believe the fire started at the cosmetics counter which would be about right as it most likely was started by a woman looking in a mirror.
As I just mentioned before I have got the Tickets to Armageddon expo so I'll be there in mid-October to meet Bruce Timm (I hope) and hopefully other famous people. From reading recently it looks like Adam West and Julie Newmar have dropped out. And I was hoping that I could get Julie to sign my SGT BILKO dvd. Damn oh well!!
Onto other news and as you may know by now I have two blogs, This one and my blogspot so the differences should becoming more apparent. On the blogspot I will have my life as an artist in cartoon form with selected stories and experiences as well as my special projects and I have also begun a regular weekly posting of Anti-Girl cartoons which I hope to build upon. I will also do all my live blogging on blogspot. You can check it out HERE
This blog will contain all my bits of new miscellanious art and more personal notes if I have any new art on one of my projects I will also link to it from here as I know not many read this bloody thing. Anyway theres apparently an rss feed if you want subscribe to this for some reason.
here it is http://www.drawingboard.org/blogs/rss.php?w=Tinman2040
I'll chat to all one of you again in a day or two. |
