It’s my weekend and I’ll party if I want

Hullo everyone!

It’s been another exhausting week, but hope is on the horizon! If the chaos manages to keep itself to a minimum tomorrow, I maaaaay just be able to slip away from work a couple of hours early… Which reduces my time owed down to… Just over two full work days. And that’s just since I started counting!

That two hours could give me a real boost, though. If I have more time, I can be more relaxed, and if I’m more relaxed, I’m more amenable to being creative. If all goes well, I’ll be doing a bit of painting later on today, which I’m massively looking forward to! read more

The weekend beckons!

Chapter:

Yup, it’s another Late Night(tm)! Thankfully, the weekend is rushing up on me and I’ve got some holiday coming up next week. Some well-deserved holiday I might add… Anyone got any interesting plans for the weekend? I think the highlight of mine is probably finally tackling the rest of my lawn. I… may have left the grass to grow too long, and I can only mow so much before my mower overheats… Yes, there really is nothing like the smell of toasting grass!

Right, better hit the hay – plenty to wrap up at work before I go on holiday, huzzah. Cheerybye for now! read more

Weekend Enjoyment – Go!

by on January 23, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hullo all! I’m just going to keep the post short and sweet today, as I’d quite like to get a spot of writing done before I hit the hay for the evening!

This weekend, I will be looking forward to:

  • The aforementioned writing. I’m doing quite well at it, and I’ve been able to apply a LOT of the stuff I’ve learned in the past couple of years. I’m quite happy now to strip out entire paragraphs if I feel that they’re not advancing character or plot, and replace or condense them with exciting, interesting reading!
  • Payday. This also means Lego Day, although I now have a <50% chance of getting a new minifig in the current minifig trading series. Will probably get a little Star Wars lego kit or something.
  • Friday Night at Casa de Me Amigo. Fun times modding games, good chat, and general awesomeness. Yes, we are very nerdy.
  • Jambalaya. I’ve not made it in a while, but it seemed like the thing to cook.

    Another weekend zips by!

    Chapter:

    Welp, another weekend has come and gone, and the week looms over us like a… Great big looming thing. I’m feeling pretty knackered, and though I’ve not done anywhere NEAR the work I should have, I’m still feeling pretty chirpy! It’s been an unusually sociable weekend for me, and it’s been great catching up with people over dinner and the cinema.

    Ah well, back to the grind, I suppose. Enjoy today’s page, and I’ll work on getting caught up to the work I didn’t get done this weekend! Cheerio! read more

    Weekend, woo!

    by on June 21, 2013 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Woo! It’s Friday once more! The end of a particularly tough week, one week closer to my little birthday trip back home to Glasgow, and another week closer to my tip back home-home to Hong Kong! I swear, the restaurants there won’t know what hit ’em.

    Friday’s a particularly good day for me; We get to knock off early from work, and I don’t schedule any regular comic or writing work then, so I use the time to do a little shopping, maybe play some games with some friends, or work on some other piece of art. This weekend, I’ll be doing some more foamboard ink drawings. I’ve been choosing photos of more detailed cityscapes, to make sure there’s plenty of intricate shapes I can draw in to make the picture as interesting as possible. read more

    Yay weekend!

    Ah, thank goodness it’s the weekend. It’s been a week of late nights for me, and naps caught here and there to try and prop myself up, so I’m looking forward to a bit of unwinding this weekend. Time to dye my hair again (thinking either blue, turquoise or my usual purple but suggestions will be noted!), make a nice proper meal for myself, the new X-Com game is out, the Mechromancer class was released early for Borderlands 2, I’m back into the swing of things with Lemon Candies… Oh, and I need to make a trip to PC World to pick up an external hard drive caddy which I think will be a Saturday morning thing. Y’know, make the most of the day. read more

    Hip-hip…

    by on July 6, 2012 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Hooray! [Spoiler in case of people somehow reading news posts before the comic] Fliss is back! How I’ve missed you, my little foxy friend. Wait… Mara has to trade her life in order to rescue Fliss? Oh dear, do I really have to choose between my two favourite characters? I simply can’t… But fortunately I have this handy dandy poll software installed…

    [poll id=”2″]

    Just kidding 😛

    As you can tell, a) I’m in significantly better spirits than I was on Monday (apologies if I brought anyone down with my down-ness), and b) I’m on a bit of a Batman kick at the moment. Maybe it’s the prospect of Dark Knight Rises coming soon (Yes, I will be DOUBLE CHECKING THE RELEASE DATE next time we go to the cinema), or maybe it’s just that time of year. Either way, I’m playing Arkham City, finally, which is by and far one of the most entertaining video games I’ve ever played. Props to their rendition of the Penguin, who is probably my favourite villain in the game by virtue of how HORRIBLE he is written to be. THAT’S how you write a true Batman villain! Plus, I’m having hours and hours of hilarity stalking the inmates of Arkham City and listening to Bender shouting curses at Batman. read more

    Carnivále!

    Morning/Afternoon/Evening all!

    What a fantastic day yesterday was! The Manchester Day Parade went off without a hitch, with fantastic weather and a plethora of inspired floats moving along the route. It was so great to see not just so many fun designs, and talented and committed community groups participitating, but also the excellent turnout from members of the public. There’s really no better feeling than wheeling a float along the city streets with thousands of people cheering you on from all sides, young and old alike! The artists who worked on the creations really did themselves a huge credit; All the centrepieces were fascinating, bright and really involving, and the performers along the route did a great job engaging with the crowd. Full props to the School of Samba. The man known to us only as the Dance Commander clearly loves what he does, and has a bitchin’ awesome uniform to boot! 😛 read more

    It’s a bit windy out!

    by on April 30, 2012 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Remember that fantastic and action-packed weekend I was talking about on Friday? Yeeeeah, I think I managed to achieve about 20% of that due to the inclement weather, which made even going to the corner store a trek and a half. Fortunately, that 20% I did manage to get done was jam-packed with awesomeness, due in no small part to the Avengers film.

    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the Marvel studios films I’ve seen thus far, and we all knew that they were eventually leading towards this fantastic, spectacular outing. I’m not going to do a full review here, but here are the pertinent parts: read more

    How’s your weekend looking?

    by on April 27, 2012 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Sometimes, between work and illustration, it can all pile up and get a bit stressful. You might begin to question your resolve, your ability, and your desires to do any of your things, even those tha give you most joy.

    Most would argue that such a state is not desireable. And yes, I suppose it’s not healthy to permanently exist like that; but you know what? It makes weekends like this weekend so much better. It’s making the sweet even sweeter, the enjoyable more fun. It makes you appreciate the good things. read more
