working in berlin on problems involving the land of hyrule. im sorry, but this comes up at times.  back in october in the new series of disgust ‘a grown man…’ . thanks and lets hope the twilight gets defeated and the people of hyrule can move on from these troubled times in the kingdom.

so youve just finished the donkey show, whats next?

goodness gracious. and the wine is fine from the AH bin. and this is it? for real? the end of 6 months of pen and ink? are you happy now asshole? i mean really you demanded it. well this is it it seems and cannot wait to get to the next and the next will be easier from all of this. is it far to preconceived, uptight? but lets have detail.

and really if you click on any of this you will get swallowed in yet more detail. so many small ink lines. there is a lot more detail to be delivered in the text format, but really nows not the time. ill have to wait.

again. 3rd time applying. 3rd rejection. so no 1000.00 euros a month from the government for me. [meh] [assholes should explain why, at least a little. just a little. teeny-teeny-teeny-teeny-tiny]

ah but wait it gets worse.

a few non-donkey show pics. theres also two paintings in the running. one design for silkscreen and a never done zine, and some other things in pipes. im not cleaning those pipes, its sunday. this is an update from my mini holiday.

the way problems can move around in a drawing, the sections of trouble change and swim. i cant keep up with them. and the haunting bit of, you shouldve taken your time more-so in the beginning before rushing to ink. you shouldve penciled it in further. you shouldve really fleshed it out as a whole and not bit by bit. why didnt you? did you think you were better then the folk who came up with that old plan? did you think this was gunna go all avant-garde for the 1600s?

but this is the best figure in the piece so far, and i like to work on him upside down. his tonalities come out better that way.

why does wordpress update so much, i dont wanna update now. and some plugins want updating i can see too.

and here is the current, second bird-girl duo. i have needled this little area of paper into utter ruins, 80% of the original paper fibers have been relocated to refugee camps to the east.

which is at least as not as bad as the severed mutilated smiles of this one. —

god that was awful.

and now the current region of destabilized ink,

which is a shame because in its pencil heyday it was the finest piece of sketching, simple and too the point, —> [its here] but since that, its been up and down. now i may have scratched away too many layers of ink in an urge to increase level of lights or some such plan which seemed so clear in some jitter bug routine. soon there will be an update on this site, yes this site, of sketchbook stuffs, non donkey related, and perhaps a voluminous essay on the arch linux nerdery. .

its summer time, why dont you use some color you asshole?

1. from the studios of menglef inc. ,current workspace set up is the ’summer mode’, migration happens a couple times a year one side of the house to the other and back and forth and in the process sweeping can happen which alleviates much of the atmosphere of rank.

2. applications have been handed in to de ateliers [fingers crossed {been rejected twice, yet i run back again}]  and waves of tension moved off the shoulder blades.

3. the donkey show was rescanned for said application and so i have some new pictures. plus a little story i wrote for the description bit. {see #4}

4. I’m sitting under this tree you see?  And I have an axe and a dream. To join the happy bird and the [once] happy girl. So sad her face went black.  But she has the beer and the smokes. I have the axe. And time. And a propeller beanie which is the epicenter of disappointment, You see I am too heavy to fly anywhere with this beanie. I cannot get up so high with all this weight.  So the plan is to cut off my head, and dispose of this body in donkey shit, then I can fly up there and go and get drunk with that underage girl and huge freak bird.  Did you think I would cut down the tree? No, too much effort. Imagine the calorie intake required.

as it seems, writing applications to get some of this governments cheese. is it the lowest? should it be taken, oh sweet sweet subsidy? are you the foulest treat of all, will you turn all of us sour, make us wish for days of churning butter? well if you must ‘make that money’ then you should perhaps go for broke, why ask for money from the government when you could as well ask for it from burger king, for sure they are no more evil than any national body?

in this spirit, and the spirit of taking a break from writing application time, menglefian advertisement agency presents “have it your way” out first in a series of ads for burger king.

in an unrelated notes, from the archives with a dash of fresh digital color, the “beans and macaroni” comic idea was slightly brought back to life last night, here is an example of the “townies” from this once blossoming idea snuffed out so swiftly.

and finally, though some progress has occured in ‘the donkey show’, it is still not finished and remains on my desk restrained in layers of loving tape.

escapism. dog doodles in hell.

earlier in the start of the summer i felt i needed to make more cartoons in my sketchbooks and color them in on the computer, try to develop a quicker style to make stuff in, to make comics with as well. here is some of that.

and last week i got a book of stock photography and it is full of material. so i started this study of sorts.

also this seems to have come off of tim burtons desk or something. i believe it says, get out of the house.

i hope youve enjoyed this more colorful edition of menglef.org today. this posting was also brought to you in part by procrastination unlimited.
