So My Cat

My cat likes to mess around in my dresser and crawl up and down the back side of the drawers and into other drawers so I only had one of them open and she crawled in, crawled down o the lower one and then somehow managed to close the only open one and rap herself inside. I finally investigated the mysterious scratching noise and found this:
Bloody cat just peekin' out at me. Look at those eyes just begging you to let her out. XD Rukia, everyone, everyone, Rukia.
A little while later, her brother, Sebastian came along to help. Great going, cats.

It occurs to me that I have yet to introduce my cats to you guys. Maybe I could do that when I get a 1000 pageviews XD I only need 2 more and I was thinking of how to celebrate it so why not a video and cats? Perfect!!!!!

Arse Holes

So... today, this guy dropped by my flat. He was here for one of my flat mates who was doing basically an informal job interview and when they were done, the guy still had some time and I wanted to show the guy some stuff that I had done (it was an art interview.) I wanted some feed back and some tips on what I should work on. I didn't have my portfolio with me so I was just showing him some stuff out of my sketch notebook. The first thing that I noticed was off was that he just grabbed my sketchbook and started flipping through. This is a bit of a no-no in the art world because an artist's sketchbook is like their soul. It's a huge compliment if an artist lets you look in their sketchbook because it's basically their diary but with pictures. Every feeling and event that has shaped that person since they were old enough to pick up a drawing object is in that book (or another one, if they've gone through several.) Now this guy had been an art teacher for 45 years so I was kind of surprised when he just grabbed it and started flipping through with out me telling him if he could or not. He was either completely clueless and hadn't picked up anything over 45 years or he didn't care.

The next thing that irked me was that he told me I had to stop drawing anime. After this huge speech to my friend about how "people in art do the jobs because it makes them happy, not for money" he told me I had to stop drawing anime (completely) because it was childish and I would never get a job i it. He told me it wasn't doing anything for me. Now, I' mainly a cartoonist/ animator and a lot of what I do is anime. It doesn't only help me out there, but it helps me with head placements and stuff for realistic drawings. Basically, anime is what helps me figure out what I'm going to do for an actual drawing. Not to mention, I enjoy doing it! This was what really set me off.

He only complimented me once on a before sketch of a bust I'm doing. He really liked that. He said it was good because it showed I could think all the way around something, not just the face of it.

That was the only thing I got out of him.

Arse.
