1 more day to go and then its all over for another year. Star Wars caricature is coming along nicely and have been working on a few more caricature roughs. Heres a couple of commissions i did in watercolour pencil…
All thats left to say is i hope you all have a very merry xmas and a rockin’ new year. Can’t wait to get stuck into those turkey sandwiches on boxing day, mmmmmmm, and heres a song to get you in the festive spirit…
….well, it is in Doncaster anyway. Snow is falling and its ffrrrrrreeeezing!!! Christmas nearly upon us, i’ve just about finished my xmas shopping, decided it wasnt worth the mad rush around the shops on Christmas Eve so decided to get it done early this year, just a few bits and bobs to get. Just working on a couple more pieces before xmas, another black and white piece (posting shortly) and finishing off that star wars episode I caricature. Feels like its going to be a good one this year, and wouldnt it be even better if Rage Against The Machine pipped Simon Cowell’s X-factor puppet to the christmas number 1! aaaaaahhhh!!! Joy! I hope so anyway, one in the eye to all the sugary coated crap we get shoved down our throats at christmas time just so that smug git and his cronies can fill their already bulging wallets and passing it off as making dreams come true and another superstar singer is found. Bollox. Give us back our great british music industry, give us back our christmas number 1 and stop force feeding us with all this garbage!!!….breath breath…. relax……
Just got back from the pictures to see the film thats been called one of the scariest movies of all time… Paranormal Activity – check out the trailer below.
I went in thinking it was going to be another ‘cinemagoers are calling it the scariest movie of all time’ type of film and they end of being a ‘seen it all before and wasn’t scary at all’ type of film, but i was very impressed. All filmed on a handheld camcorder thingy (like the Blair Witch Project) and what made this scary for me was 1) You never saw the demon ghosty creature that was stalking the woman so much was left to your imagination and 2) The sound effects were amazing, very minimal but still on the edge of your seat stuff (I recommend everyone go see this at the cinema cos you wont get the full experience at home on the tv and it does make the film much more scary), and lastly 3) the ending!!!!!!! I’m not ashamed to say I jumped 2 foot in the air and the popcorn went everywhere. Graz rating 9/10 and yes it is the scariest film of the year!
