It’s been a relatively mellow, vanilla couple of weeks with the little guy having chicken pox and now he’s got the bloody flu so we’ve been housebound since the zoo trip. Hopefully we will go for an adventure on the train and into town to watch a movie at the end of the week then it’s back into uni next week. Arrrghhh. I have ‘Pictorial Studies’ as one of my papers this semester which means a fuckload of drawing. I haven’t really sat down and drawn loads for the past six years so it’s a little daunting but a bit of sketching yesterday and I am keen to get back into it.
We have a freekin mouse infestation atm … we’ve been seeing a mouse of late running amok then the other night I found two cheeky fuckers running about, we got poison and they ate the whole damn container and we still saw mice. Right now in the space of about 24 hours we’ve caught ten of the fuckers in a rat trap. The landlord got a rev up and pest control has now been contacted. It’s a huge house and plenty of space for the little fuckers to set up residence. So yeah … eeewww.
This morning we had three boys running amok making huts with chairs and couches and sheets and playing shooting games with a nerf gun and a couple of ‘el cheapo’ toys and having a blast. Awesome means I can get some shit done without interuptions maybe even try drawing some more.
Nothing much to report here life is quiet which really is a good thing because I fucking hate stress … I have a review coming up for a ‘heart shaped crop’ and just ordered in a wartenburg wheel hehe. Sharp & pointy <3

I used to have mice infestation problem too. The poison wasn’t effective. The traps with the glue floor…was. Just lay few around and then dispose of them later. Hope your little man gets well fast.

I’ve missed coming by…but whoa…you are such a rocking artiste! I LOVE the eye. Love it love it. It looks like it’s searching for…truth? Trust? Kink?
i’m so sorry your lad is ill..hopefully well on the path to recovery now. Chicken pox sux … i got it as an adult, and my eldest caught it from me. My wife developed pneumonia as a side effect of it …just fyi….
glad you’ve had some peaceful days between semesters. Life is full isn’t it? and even when it’s fuck-all full…it’s still good.
hugs,
