Acrylic Brush Set

I use Autodesk Sketchbook for this trivial, audience-free shit. One of the benefits of being a subscriber to Sketchbook is the availability of free brush sets. Last week I downloaded the acrylic brush set. Acrylics are my weapon of choice when I'm not wielding my stylus. These e-brushes, remarkably, mimic the strokes of (cheap) brushes loaded with acrylic paint--but not entirely or exactly. The touch, shape, and finess of an actual brush is still far superior. But this ain't bad. But it ain't good, either.

Marie Antoinette

"Let them eat shit!"

I had a college professor, quite convincingly, suggest that when Marie Antoinette stated the fateful sentence that got her cpu removed, that she was just being oblivious and juvenile.

“Let them eat cake!"

His rationale was convincing. She was a girl raised in a well-insulated, splendidly wealthy environment. When her family ran out of bread she declared that they should just eat cake instead, cause that’s what she does when she can’t find bread. She eats cake. He may have been on to something. Paris Hilton wasn’t a thing of controversy during my college years, but now that I think about it, I’m drawing a connection. I think Marie may have been just as dense as Paris; same situation, same ridiculously wealthy people. I’ve always wanted to feed Paris Hilton a pepper, so when she says, “That’s hot,” she’ll mean it in it’s actual context. I could also throw a cup of coffee at her. “That’s hot”. Or fly her to the sun. “That’s hot”.

First Home

"You didn't tell me it had a skylight"

Remember the first home you ever bought? Or rented? How proud you were to be off on your own? You, her, and you brand new maggot?

Yeah. Good times.

Ray-Ray's Treats

I assume teen flies gather someplace to socialize--and indulge.

Something You Ate?

Houseflies eat shit and roadkill for sustenance. I'm certain it was something he ate.

Fly Fart

Exactly how foul is a fly fart?

Surface Pro

For Christmas, I received a new medium to read, write, and draw: a Microsoft Surface Pro. The reading and writing should be easy enough to adapt to (practically identical), but the drawing might have a larger learning curve. If I had an audience I might beg them to bear with me while I learn. But since I don't--away we go!
