October 3, 2007 - ARTWORK: Wonder Woman
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!!!
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!!
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.

September 16, 2007 - Don't be Bald when you Have a Brain Scan!!
Over the last several weeks I've been having a lot of medical tests, I've had X-Rays, Ultrasounds and now I've had my first and hopefully last EEG which stands for Electroencephalography (say that when Drunk). Its a way of recording Brainwaves. And before you say it Yes I was found to have had a Brain if not a very small one the size of a Peanut.
I was hoping to get a picture of me wearing the scanner cap but the operator freaked when they found I brought a celphonecamera in the Hospital. And I was not allowed to use it but heres a quick picture of what I would have looked like and yes I would have looked more like a dick than normal.....
It was all recordered on computer it will be alittle while until I learn the results. But when they finished they took off the cap to reveal all these imprints in my head I looked like BRAINIAC it took ages for them to finally leave and more people stared at me as I left the hospital like I was a freak more than usual. HAH!!
See I'm still blogging here once I get back into the swing of things, everything will become clearer as to what blog I will use for what until then Standby for exciting news coming very soon.

September 9, 2007 - Bitter Pill!!
I've only been back a week or two from Melbourne and already had a number of trips back to the Doctor. So right now I'm on yet more Medication this time on Antibiotics. But when I saw the SIZE of the pill I was to take I was dumbstruck, I mean its freakin' HUGE!! My throat wasn't made to swallow anything as big as this and I have to take three of them per Day. Anyway thats the reason for no recent updates here I'm still using my laptop which hasn't got any Adobe software hence no art to post I'll try and do some quick sketches when I can I'll just post this quickie of my latest predicament for now.....

August 8, 2007 - Matt Gets a LapTop
I'm So MAD!!! When my computer died a few months ago I decided I needed a replacement and last weekend I got myself a laptop, I could also draw on the go was my thinking. Unfortunately there was one problem 'VISTA' Every bit of previous software I have is Useless against this monstrosity of gigantic proportions. Nothing Works.
I don't suppose that anyone out there have a spare copy of Adobe Suite CS3 they have lying around that they could give me??. Apparently this is the only Adobe product that works on this piece of crap operating system whats the point of paying for software if in a couple of years they are going to be useless, MicroSoft Sucks!!! DON'T USE VISTA!!

July 19, 2007 - Kill Your Emotions, The Matt Pott Way!!
Health Update: The last couple of weeks have been awful for me. So after a weeks rest, I was back at work this week. As far as my health is concerned I'm okay not as healthy as I could be. I was told this week by doctors I have narrowly avoided the knife atleast for now. I'm still on the meds but they seem to be working I have to followup in about a months time.
I will be in Melbourne next month for the Pixar Exhibition which I'm very much looking forward too they will have alot of pre-production art and Maquettes there from all their movies. I will be there for a week so if anyone is in Melbourne and wants to meet up let me know.
Finally, do you hate relationships, I do. In fact I'm never having another in my lifetime. How is that possible you ask?? Well I'll tell you several weeks ago I cut my heart out with a dagger and stuck it in a treasure chest and heaved it overboard into the depths of davey jones locker. Yeah great guy that Davey Jones he really new what he was talking about.......You should all try it.

July 11, 2007 - Princes of the Universe
I recieved some bad news this week about my health. One minute your okay and the next
it goes all to crap (much like my love life errrr... too much info) and amazingly I don't want to think
about it much less talkabout it right now. Some of my closest collegues/friends are aware of it and
thats all that needs to be said. But for me right now it hasn't completely sank in the seriousness of it.
And I'll probably need next week to get the full details of whats wrong. One thing I do know is its not
cancer which we can be all thankful for (except my enemies, no dancing on the grave yet guys/girls sorry!!). But after years of just having Flu after Flu you get a wake up call that makes you realise your not immortal and that sometimes you gotta go through major shit to get fixed. I just wish it was as easy to fix as the common cold is.
So because of recent events theres some stuff I need to talk about.
First of all, theres not going to be a podcast for a little while atleast. Theres a few reasons for this but the main one is that I have to try and concentrate on getting better.
My planned trip to the US in October is going to be put on hold for now. If worse comes to worse and I do need to visit hospital I will have to pay for it somehow and unfortunately something has to give.
Current status I am off work for the week and on some meds to try help ease the pain and see if it helps me. I should know more early next week, but whether this is the forum for it I have been agonizing as to whether to say anything but I count you guys as my friends too and most likely there someone I know who reads this and isn't yet aware.
Lastly before the crap hit the fan I was in the middle of starting a new ART ONLY blog, you can check it out here. www.mattpott.blogspot.com
I ain't getting rid of Nuts and Bolts but I needed another one for other kinds of stuff and my name became available on blogger, you can also live bookmark me now. Thanks to Kristen for her help on some things.
I'll talk to you all again real soon
Matt
