So, I came across this

[link]

and if you haven't seen it, go take a look.

now on to the point.
After 2 cups of coffee, a smoke and a relaxing hot shower, i dove head into this. I decided recent, incredibly unknown talent was the best way to go about this. I wasn't looking for the next Escher or anything, just people who impressed me.

Tom Heggie,
This guy blows my mind with his traditional sketches,
taken to a whole new level with his endeavours into digital medium.

Now I am not saying hes the stinkiest cheese ever, but I am impressed and can't wait to see what comes out of this guy.
If your smart, you'll watch him and keep your eye on him.

Positive Symptoms By ~RoYBeTTy
This one is dark, as is most of my favourite work. Delving into the coping and existing with schizophrenia, beautifully put and technically very clean.


--


Terra Novas End By ~Ideo-geny
This one makes me drool a little. Not much to be said about it, just go have a look at the awesome work done at the lower half, where the destruction is very imminent.


--

Infinity By ~DanNoland
This one touches on something humanity cannot fully grasp, although much time is spent in the elusive want to.
pay attention to the placement of the timepieces.

--


Positive Symptoms By ~Zemni This one touched me, its cute, adorable, fuzzy. But sad and a little reflective of things i think a lot of people can relate to.

--

A Jolly Mans Tune By *Sarkastisk
This poem reminds me of my favourite stories as a kid, the creepy ones that leave you a little cold and shivery.
just because the author associates all the sounds and feeling behind the setting and it leads me in to all my dark uncomfortable places.

--


Playground By ~SpecialAgentLira
This beautiful poem, while short.. encompasses everything i miss about my childhood. it truly is a gem.

--

4-24AM By ~the-jackyll
This ones interesting structure, and tension lay it out to be a quaintly horrifying story.

--

Playground By ~needsalifebadly
This one welled me up near to tears, tugging at the auspiciousness of onlookers as you float and dream.
its extremely engaging, and the style and format is lovely.

Well, That is all for my dipping-dip into the challenge, I really enjoyed doing that again, I used to years ago, but fell out of it.

Please people, if you enjoyed any part of what you found here do this yourself, its not terribly hard and someone will appreciate you taking the time to recognize them.
I know someone did it for you once.
PEACE

As for me,
Life is a voyage, and when it began my boat was clean, the wood was fresh and glided across the ocean like that "perfect skipping stone"

Over time, barnacles and other such nuisances has latched on and slowed it down.
However, Alot of that has helped the realization that life cannot be taken for granted, the excitement of events should only add to the joy and experience of life.

I cannot control the ocean, my sails, or the people that jump aboard, but I can steer my way through, and keep my command of my journey.

there's something in having the book you choose to read in the bathroom being the Tao Te Ching.

A wise choice i do believe, trying to pass a hot one while reading about passive action strikes me as humorous and intriguing.

as I write this a seven year old has just said to me;
"albie did you know I made Super master phoenix? he has 2 lightsabers that attach together, and when he becomes a phoenix he swings them without hands, because of the force. He is the ultimate and he can destroy anyone. even count dookie."

I love this child.
No, hes not mine.
he is my girlfriends and to him I'm " albie thats like a dad"
and that's fucking intense.
Hes wonderful, and my girlfriend well, that's a whole set of soppy poetry and smiling ill save for another day.

To the joy of discovery, people!

Oh man, It has been far to long.
So.. who's up for a recap?

turned 21.

Lost 180lbs. WOOO! (thinking i may do another "Skin Of Nails" when i get a decent camera, i don't know if anyone remembers that but its been a while and I would like to finish it.


Spent the last year or two -ish, floating around in a drunken-stoned state, that was fun. Didn't do a hell of alot for my creative side, but then again it did alot for my opinion of humanity as a whole.

Explored the other side of relationships, being you know not being incredibly overweight and extremely self concious about everybody's opinion on me. Went to bars, met loose women, met some amazingly captivating and exotic women, went crazy for all of them, almost every single time.

Decided I need to finish school, because I'm 21 now, when i was 17 i was well on my way to an early start at a good career and now I am.. a stagnant pile of uneducated disaster.

Moved back to california, because well my father isn't doing so great. his kidneys are failing and he is on dialysis everynight from about 7:30pm to 5:30am. takes a lil bit to set up and its becoming increasingly difficult for him to do himself. Not to mention the extensive nerve damage from the diabetes over the last 30 or so years has rendered him unable to walk for long amounts of time.
on top of all of that the dialysis solution is dextrose loaded so his blood sugar is a huge issue, combined with a delicious ( sarcasm ) renal diet it really limits the amount and types of foods he can eat, so i cook.. and I'm not terrible at it but you know.. its diffucult with.. no salt, so added sugar, low fat, no dairy, high protien, low meat, no sugary veggies or fruits.


Aside from all that i am doing well, my health for once in my life in above average.
I try to run everyday, though sometimes i don't but fuck it i lost alot of weight i deserve a couple days of fat-assery.

mentally and spiritually, it's a constantly evolving progress, this whole "not eating to deal with my insanity" really is diffucult, beleive you me.

I'll try to post more, been writing more again which is good.

985 deviations wish me luck!

namsate
albie.

I have not said much lately... but i feel like I should at the very least mention that things just, happen.

the thunder outside is screaming holes into the sky.


I haven't had very much in the way of creative, anything.
so i havent been writing, and have been a bit busy moving and such.

Wonderfull weather though!

I moved earlier in the week, the apartment is nice, and i have a candle and that freaking ROCKS!

I hope everyone is ok, i havent been around... and if i have i haven't been the most wonderful person.
things get away from me sometimes.

I'm trying to write or, draw or play my guitar right now...
something.
hah.
