The Lamentation

Uploaded by warnermusicjapan on Feb 16, 2011

Well I didn't go blow the bank at the Black Friday sales this year. Not that anybody would expect me to. I did splurge on a $10 pair of earbuds ($5 as soon as my discount comes back to me as a refund) and 2 sticks of memory for $30. That's about as materialistic as I got this week. I was so down on myself, and in general, anxiety-stricken about going outside I camped out at home all weekend. It made for a neurotic weekend. I've been Roman Muradov's tweets. I guess he and I are on the same wavelength.

I watched Conan (2011), The Big Lebowski, Willard (2003), The True Story of Troy and an episode of Pete and Pete this past week. I read a few pages of Ross Campbell's Shadow Eyes, and listened to most of Episode 6 of Boy Howdy. I went and got Son of Rambow after looking into Hugo, and also recently acquired the works of Milo Manara, The Savage Sword of Conan, and G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra.

I learned about a bunch of cool BBC2 tv shows from this Dean Trippe poster. Now I want to watch Luther, Sherlock, and Being Human, as well as catching up on Doctor Who and The Misfits.

What Not is a good blog to start following. Ghibli Feast is a delicous flickr to start following. Artist Spaces: Where They Draw is an exciting tumblr to start following. Here is good arts also by Coleman Engle.



I did these sketches while watching Conan; I just worked up the colored bit in Sai before posting this. Maybe I'll see this one through. I started doing some research based on the concept of "premature sense of accomplishment". I am trying to investigate the correlation with the premature sense of defeat, and the roles they play in motivation. I wonder sometimes why I can finish menial tasks with a strong sense of discipline, yet struggle to apply the same sense of perseverance to more important, more complex tasks. That will pretty much be on my mind this week.

I got the Powaaaaah!

Hi there,

My name is Del, King of Siam, and blogger of the Sunday Afternoon Noodle. Fabulous secret powers were bestowed upon me the day I began taking Paint Tool Sai seriously and exclaimed, "I got the powaaaaah!"

This past week I began painting a lot in PT Sai. I've only fiddled with it a bit until now, despite getting dozens of glowing reviews by online artists I follow. I feel like things are starting to click for me artistically, and that I might just end up on a steady stream of productivity.

I'll be reading Orc Stain by James Stokoe pretty soon. Somebody linked me to Adam Atomic's Bomber Planet, a few months ago, but it wasn't until recently I became aware of his other work.

Following up on some of the conversations going on about DCU's recent "empowerment" of female characters, I stumbled upon this excellent article by Comics Alliance. I have got to meet Laura Hudson. She is my hero.

I wish I could read Italian. I might enjoy this comic by Roman Muradov even more. I love Ryan Mauskopf's art.

These are process pics of another painting I started. I have trouble setting up compositions with just lines, so I decided to block in values first, then fine tune shapes with lines. I laid flats before I took a break.

I'm learning a lot of things while experimenting with Sai, hopefully those will translate well going back to traditional mediums. I hope to break out my acrylic paint soon, as well as my ink nibs.

I think part of my motivation has been watching the last 2 or 3 of Lexxy Douglass' streams. I like everything about her style.

So I started reading Saint Young Men. It's a little strange and some of the jokes are lost on me, but it's entertaining. Thanks to Natalie Nourigat for bringing it to my attention (via Between the Gears). Emerald City Comic Con was this weekend and I missed it owing to being chained to the Valley of Ash. I'm desperately wanting to leave this place, but where to build a new nest and how?

I've been recently having dreams about women I'm attracted to but don't know. Well I did actually meet Kina back in Oct. 2009.

It must be the approaching spring messing with my body chemistry and trying to get my subconscious in a sentimental figure four. Too bad I'm painfully aware of my own skepticism and awkwardness. If I could just be an idiot for a while again I would surrender.

I created a tumblr: King of the Siams

Here are a few of the tumblr's I now follow:

Ming Doyle
hello, jordyn b.
Roman Muradov
midnite surprise
pancake pancake pancake
Emmy
drawhthisdress

I also have some projects I want to get around to starting including another tumblr page, a tribute to Dwayne McDuffie, and a March-themed autobio comic. Wish me luck this month that I get off my lazy donkey and burrow into the fertile soil of my subconscious. Did you see what I did--aww never mind. Peace and Goodwill my friends.
