ashtray monument

ashtray monument
I built loads of these in my time as a smoker, Im not entirely sure why I felt the need to keep jamming butts down the side of the ashtray, as opposed to just chucking the discarded ones away, but for some reason I felt compelled to keep stacking. Im sure lots of smokers will be able to relate to the massive annoyance that is, trying to find out which dog-end it is thats causing the foul stench as its filter slowly melts.

Since I quit, I am totally conscious of my expression and body language when I walk past someone who’s smoking, being sure to appear very casual and at ease with the whole situation, I even hold back if I need to clear my throat, just incase they think Im doing it to be snippy.

Anyway, its late, Im tired, and Im rambling, but if you like this sketch you can order it as a print from HERE
I appreciate that alternatively, you could just download it from here, by right clicking it, and print it yourself for a fraction of the cost, and thats probably exactly what I’d do.

I wish I could say that this piece came from anything more than an appreciation for doodling, women’s bum’s, and doodling women’s bum’s, but it really didn’t.

I havent posted anything for a while again I know but I’ve been drawing as much as possible and Im hoping to get some idea’s for some t-shirts on the go quite soon, and as soon as I do I’ll be posting them on here for the two of you that actually read this blog regularly! :-)

**Insert funny story about not bothering to vote in recent local election**

***edit for actually thinking of amusing story re: recent local election:
It would appear that I finally live in a shit/poor/apathetic enough area, to not be harrassed by canvassing, because most of the relevant people daren’t/can’t be arsed to take the risk of knocking on half of the door’s round here, brilliant!





Mmmmmwah!

poser005

Haven’t posted anything for quite a while because I’ve been trying to get some work done, and beef up my DeviantArt page.

Had a fairly standard day at work today, apart from the fact that:

>An old man tipped his trilby hat to me when I let him cross the road, fantastic.
>A bin man blew a kiss at me after trying to stare me out at traffic lights for about 60 seconds (a lot longer than it sounds when you’re being stared at by a disgruntled refuse collector).





a little bit of help, and ‘the red room’

redroom002

I roughed this painting out last night when I was watching Twin Peaks, was only a bit of a piss around, but I like it all the same.

Anyway, the main reason Im posting this is because I’ve been looking for stuff to ‘paint’ digitally to bulk up my portfolio and Im a bit lost in terms of ideas………..

SO…………..

All I want is some idea’s for things I could paint, any suggestions would be appreciated, or maybe you’ve got a photograph that you would like turning into a painting of some kind? Anyway, Id like as many idea’s as possible and Id really appreciate the help, you can email me at abrentleejoint@googlemail.com or you can comment on here OR if you know it, you can send stuff to my facebook (which i check routinely about every 5 seconds because Im generally bored as fuck)

PS, if you come up with something really good then, I don;t know what but I’ll try and sort you out with something cool and one of a kind :-)

cheers

Kirsty Young makes me wish that I was informed, in at least some tiny way on current affairs.

I appreciate the chances of us getting together are slim to none, BUT I think it’s fair to say that Id be in with a slightly better shout if I had some snappy, up to the minute opinions of a ‘cutting social commentary’ nature.

Still, to be fair Ive done reasonably well so far at work with

ECONOMY=BAD

written on my left hand, and

JOKES ABOUT MP EXPENSE ACCOUNTS=GOOD

written on my right

easy when you know how

sunday’s lament

frank-turner

I was really late in discovering Frank Turner, but I love listening to Frank Turner, I even have it set to wake me up from my stereo some days, BUT after listening for a while I’m pretty convinced that if his music was used as the soundtrack, in the hypothetical film of my life, it’d only be slotted in when something terribly sad was happening.

It’s pronounced WEE-BEE

wiebe

If you fancy a genuine feel good film one quiet afternoon (or a friday night if youre as sad as I clearly am this week) I can whole heartedly reccomend ‘King of Kong’ It’s unashamed portayal of good vs evil is fucking awesome, ignore the questionable timeline, ignore the controversy surrounding the events and scores, ignore all the shite with ‘twin glaxies’ and just enjoy the film for what it is.

I for one am getting a massive poster of, all around captain nice, Steve Wiebe for my house, and I don’t care what anyone says!
