This Year in Designs Review

     Heynow! Okay, a few things has happened since I least left off but here are some pictures of events that has happened.

My fantasy football helmet

Okay I know it's a bit much but at the time I wanted to do something cool and my team name is the "Middlesboro Mudskippers". Of course, Muddy Mudskipper from "Ren and Stimpy" as the mascot in my chosen team colors (New Orleans Saints brown with a darkish, grayish blue) and the spiked circle came from the Miami Dolphins helmet.

     Next are some designs that are highly related to the Star Wars symbols that I did a while ago:

Rebel and Jedi Symbol

Jedi Symbol inside Rebel Symbol

(I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of this or the original red Rebel symbol)

     Now, I got an email some a guy in Canada that saw my tracings of guitars and wondered if he could use them. I said "Sure" and he also requested a Stratocaster. I did so and emailed it to him. As a gift he laser cut these planks of wood and mailed them to me. These conversations were so light and easy, that I forgot I was getting this but one day they showed up and I've put them on display.

Guitar Planks: (L to R) Above - Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, Fender Mustang, Fender Jaguar, Gibson Explorer. Below - Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, Gibson ES-335, Gibson Firebird.

I framed the guitars on a custom print out design of signature guitar players and their color. I do need to put in glass for the frame since the clear plastic whorps with the wooden planks.

Here is the template background that is framed minus the wooden guitar planks.

     Now on with the paintings. I got back into painting and since I did one and posted it on Facebook, I got a lot of requests again. I'll show you the templates and the story behind it.

I wanted to do the black part red but the paint did not look good so I painted over it in black.

     Wow, I've done quite a bit this past year with paintings and designs. Anyway, here are some more links to paintings and other items that I'm selling, if anyone is interested: The Bealtes - Sgt. Peppers Painting, The Bealtes - HELP! Painting, Star Wars - Boba Fett Painting, Star Wars - Darth Vader Painting, Johnny Depp Painting, Drum Dial (Drum Tuner), The Beatles Rock Band Bundle Pack for Wii, PT Cruiser Leather Boot Cover.

     On my personal life, here's the short story: Angel and I are still together and we moved to Barbourville and got a poodle named Sophie. I'm pretty happy when it comes to things but I still need to get over the anxiety of meeting and talking to strangers that later maybe become friends. Oh well, I'll learn somehow. Later peeps.

More Painting Ideas!

Here's some more painting ideas I had:

Eagle Stencil

NES Controller

Strom Tropper - Star Wars

Bob Dylan

Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Unknown Hinson

     I know they're all Black & White but if I actually paint it, I'll add colors. All are at least slightly edited by me. Anyway, that's it today. My life is exciting, later.

Paintings!

Heynow. I haven't really painted in awhile and I need to paint one today, the James Bond one I posted a while ago. But I've edited photos for a few days, I might paint a few more for myself but if you want one, send me a message or leave me a comment. Here are a few ideas I have:

Kurt Cobain - Nirvana

Bob Dylan 

Dave Grohl - Foo Fighters

Jimi Hendrix 

John Lennon - The Beatles

Kurt Cobain - Nirvana Unplugged

     A few images I saw on the internet but I still edit them to add my touch to them. When I paint them I'll use a different color scheme besides Black and White. I'll try and look up the persons favorite color and I'll add the color to it. I've noticed my stats on here and there's a lot of people looking on here, mainly because of the edited pictures I have. The Abbey Road, Darth Vader, Dwight Schrute, and Led Zeppelin Angel are the top looked up on Google Images from my blog. So I'm giving you what you want. Enjoy. My life is exciting, later.

Yous sexy like...

     Heynow, I had a snow day from work today. I didn't do a lot today but I did paint. Here's Bob Dylan:

      Sorry, it's not for sale. I took a picture of it with my new camera. I'm so happy about that camera. I do wish that it had some other features like night vision but oh well. A friend of mine texted me at about 4:20PM and we've been going back in forth with jokes and lines that we thought of ourselves. Jokes like "Yous like King Kong, bitches are better than bananas." Basically "Yous sexy like" jokes. He started it but I started the thread. Good times with old friends. Anyway, that was my day. I probably can't goto work tomorrow either. This weather is getting bad. Snowed last night, this morning, now tonight and tomorrow morning, then a few days after that. Like three days in a row. Anyway, I'll go now. My life is exciting, later.

New Camera!

     Heynow, I got my camera! I actually got it yesterday after work. It cost more than I thought because of the 4GB SDHC card and the card reader. The total was about $190. Not good but I'll get by. Here's a picture:

     It's a very good quality camera. It has a feature on there the detects smiles and it takes a picture every time someone smiles, that's awesome. I took a lot of pictures just by smiling. Sometimes I quickly switched over to a different facial expression. Anyway, as soon as I get my other prop, I'll start shotting which will probably be next week. I went to Walgreens to get some lotion and saw an 8GB SDHC card and had to get it because of the space I need for the camera for videos. Anyway, I don't have that much cash for the rest of the week so I'll search for the prop later. Maybe I'll get someone to hangout with when looking for it. Maybe I'll ask them to be in it too as a bonus video. Just thinking of conversations that I probably won't have. Have you ever done something like that? Leave a comment if you have. I'm listening to "Ballad of a Thin Man" by Bob Dylan on my iTunes. I sent a few replies on twitter and some have responded. Well, the replies I've sent are to YouTuber's I like. Actually I need to edit a video I shot yesterday to test out on YouTube. I finished editing and uploading now, it slows my computer down so I'll go and come back and give you a link. New Camera Test! Well, It's 11:34PM now, so I'm going to bed now. My life is exciting, goodnight.
