How do you feel about Lady Gaga?
My girlfriend loves her. Me, I love her outfits, her outlandish style, and I think she's pretty hot, but her music? Oh lord it's awful. However, I have learned how to make her sound tolerable, and that is through the magic of HEAVY METAL:
I'm not going to lie, I have lost count of how many times I've watched/listened to this. Solid guitarwork. Not to mention I love that ridiculous tutu made out of scrap metal. See, the more Lady Gaga resembles an extra off the set of Barbarella or some other similarly ridiculous sci fi b-movie, the more I love her. And with legs like that, she can go pantsless whenever and wherever she wants.
So! If you've noticed, I FINISHED my painting of the sloth with the naked woman. It is entitled "My Favorite Deadly Sins," because it's funny AND pretentious! Sort of.
I love that extreme, distorted perspective. And the pink skin, complementary to the dark green, helps push the figure forward, does it not? First time I've painted in forever, and I think I didn't do half bad. I've got two more paintings to start on tomorrow, completely different subject matter...
I am also working simultaneously on three comic scripts. One for the new chick with prosthetic legs WHO NOW HAS A FREAKING NAME. I've got a few pages of her script done. I think it'll be quite the long comic, the story I want to tell is rather large. The other two scripts are older, unfinished things I look at from time to time. One being sort of my love letter to old-fashioned run-and-gun shooters like Contra, the other being more of the kind of thing you'd see in an issue of Heavy Metal.
Speaking of which, I submitted a picture of myself reading a 1986 issue of Heavy Metal to the website Hot Nerds Reading Comics. Who knows if they'll use it or not, as I'm not sure I'm all that hot, but you know, I felt I needed to represent! Or something.
OTHER RANDOM THINGS I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN LATELY:
*The creators of such wonderful films as the Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police (a personal fave) have released the trailers for their new film, Gothic and Lolita Psycho. Check it out, it looks bloody fun. I wonder when their last one, Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl comes out?
*Finished Snow Crash. Need my own copy. Now reading Flicker, which is all about film, and I love it. Already halfway through it. I normally don't read anything this fast.
*Maybe I've been watching too much of season 1 of Fringe. I'm having Walter and Peter Bishop randomly showing up in some of my dreams. The most entertaining one was Walter trying to instruct me in buying toothpaste that can be used to concoct some power hallucinogenic drug. Um...
Eh, that's it. Back to work.
