Old Time Art Fix

Use thicker water color paper so mistakes could be scratched away with a hobby knife.
Now you just fix it latter on the computer, if you use paper at all.

The good old days?

Vote For Me


  My son and I like to act like politicians trying to get your vote when campaign ads come on the TV.
Usually it consists of saying America (in a positive voice), and that we support Arber day.
We then look sincerely in to each other’s eyes and nod with a self convicted sneer.

  If in the ad he’s wearing a suit we say he should be in a shirt and tie.
If he’s in a shirt and tie, he should be in a suit.
If he does both in his ad we chide him for vacillating.

 I’m Mr. ZZ and I support this rambling.

me write gooder


Often I actually want to write a story, but lack oh subject matter, main characters, and certain key things of interest.
Oh yes a timeframe would be lovely or maybe even a setting.

Sometimes I think the reader just wants too much from an author length is one thing 98 pages doesn't seem to satisfy most people.

Bob felt like his whole life was turned upside down, yes he moved to Australia. Connecticut seems like a faraway dream now especially since he woken up. He greeted the day but it did not greet him. We had the same breakfast as he had the day before since he put his finger down his throat. As he studied the morning paper he realized it was the same old story week after week, “I should really buy a new paper”. Bob quickly threw on his close and missed. No one at his job seemed to notice his lack of cloths especially since he was a ghost.  Yes he was late for work and the late Bob, the ghostwriter…bum bum bum.

 

 The end?

 

Well Written Books


There are some eloquent writers who can lavish the pages with words.
A 1000 page book is mere child's play to them.

To these grand authors detail is everything. A wall behind the main character in the opening of their book has shimmering light that dances upon it from the midday sun built by a man who lost his visa and needed money to get home yes even the wall has a back story. Back-story is more important than plot.

With enough back-story you can have a 2000 to 5000 page book with ease.
Some book reviewers wouldn't even think of reviewing a book under 2000 pages.

Oh yes and sad is good!
Bob had a great visit with his Uncle Fred even though he lost his leg and a bit of his sanity.

Conscience

The story of Pinocchio has always bothered me because his conscience is a grasshopper. Example “Pinocchio you really shouldn't do that”, one swift movement of the foot and crunch, “Now where was I, oh yes, burning down my neighbors house".
 
Pinocchio’s conscience should've been a T Rex, “Pinocchio, you really shouldn't do that or I will eat you.”; “Oh okay, thank you for the valuable insight.”

Cutting edge art sometimes takes a hammer...and belts lots of belts.

Failure


Failure builds character.  It also increases debris on the bottom of the sea.

Dressing up bad art

1. Make bad art
2. Make bad art smaller
3. Add effects to background
4. Shade your bad art
And now you have bad art that you wasted time on.

The Most Interesting Girl In The World

 

I read a comment about this post and decided to keep away from doing humor about ads. Not everyone gets to see the same ads thus making the joke obscure.

Castle

 
I found that I made a color drawing for, “A Slow Day At The Castle” and forgot about it. 
I have been holding back on a lot of blog entries because I haven’t colored them. 
I think I will skip coloring them and post more.
But first I must give myself the blogger low posting bird poo award of  un-excellence.
