Under my Umbrella-ella-ella

Hey hip cats,

Remember in my first post of this blog where I said part of the reason I started this was because I met one of my fav porn stars here on the streets of Calgary. Well, I finally got a drawing done of her I deem web worthy. I wish the best of luck to her and her new career in veterinary assistantry.

On a related note. Inspiration. What makes a naked girly performing carnal acts of debauchery make me wanna start a blog? Well, inspiration comes from strange places. Part of it was merely the cosmic coincidence of running into her. The universe is a wonderful and strange machine. Imagine the shock of seeing someone in the real world when you've only seen her as a mass of pixels on a computer screen. Breath-taking.

Another part of it is how I'll be remembered. Like Brad Pitt in Troy, the two of us share a passion for achievement and remembrance. That, and rock-hard abs. She's most likely remembered for doing porno, despite her decision to change here career to something long-lasting. But me, I'm just some dude that recognized her. A stranger, a fan-boy, a creep.

What the hell makes me special? If someone stops me on the street, what will it be that they know me from? As an artist, I hope its from my work. Either from my animation or comic book/illustration. It's strange though, both endeavors have idols and gods which could walk the streets completely unnoticed. It's a special kind of celebrity being an artist. You make wonderous things which are seen and read by thousands, but only a handful may know your face.

In spite of all this, I strive to be better in all aspects of my life.

This blog is for my drawings. Watch as they get better.
