Where are they now?

Nobody else has been posting shit lately so I'm starting a new series- What I Imagine Everyone Else Is doing. I'm doing Angus first, he's no doubt cashing in on human suffering at the casino.

C.W Stoneking

Went to a gig on the weekend, saw C.W Stoneking- a good ole fashion blues-man. Haven't done the music sketches thing for a while...
So, here we go! The venue changed due to lack of ticket sales, from a large auditorium to a shoe-box of a room over the UWA tav. By the time we found the joint it was packed and the opening act was on, Kyle and I found a spot at the back in a corner and settled in. I got my pocket book out to do some drawings and while I was getting started a man dressed all in white handed me a bottle of rum and said "Drink this" I slammed some down, nearly fell on the floor and had some more.
The man then went through a door I was blocking and returned with beers, one of which he gave to me saying "Don't worry we're gonna fix all this up" or something like that. He then disappeared only to return with the band in tow and several cartons of Coopers Pale Ale which were distributed through the crowd. This was the man- C.W Stoneking.
I'm not going to lie, this kind of thing impresses the crap out of me.
Got a bit rowdy after being liquored up, this guy was not living...
Then the show started- blues and banter, C-Dubs has a comedic style all of his own, cracking jokes between songs and telling stories. During the show I was standing on a chair so I could draw, it was a challenge to stay up there and not collapse in a pile on the floor.
And when it was over we went home. During the boozy bike ride home i lost my favorite pen. Later I made this less sketchy drawing.

Dead in the Water



A guy who works on the rail-yard with me gave me a wetsuit- what a champ!
Due to the warm weather and lack of decent waves I've only worn it once so far.
Surfers are way more nuts than skaters, I never seen no-one beefin' over ledge time at Woolys.
This is what the grommets get up to on a small wave day while Kyle and I try to summon waves with song

Shenanigans

One of the ways I barely make ends meet is by working at a pizza shop. Here's a flick that sums up what goes about when nothing's going on and what I love about the place.
The guy with no pants is my direct superior, the girl a kitchen hand and I am a godforsaken delivery guy....

About the house

Inbetween work and tafe I've been spending quite a bit of time chillin at home lately.
The missus and I have had a couple new additions to the fam over the last week or so, this is the avocado I've been growing. Last Sunday it was a white tendril still inside the pit, it grows visibly every day (about half a centimeter). I'm going to bonsai it and grow tiny avocados that will be the perfect size for a single slice of toast... That other thing is a peach seed I'm trying to germinate, one day I'm going to have a miniature orchard.


We also bought some new sucker-fish. They are tiny little babies and are so cute compared to the grumpy old ones we have that just hide all day and party all night while we're sleeping. The babies just eat algae all day and are starting to look quite tubby.
