hello hello my follow. i am writing this at 5:21 in the morning after not being able to sleep again. i have made a awesome friend over the last week who is know only as GERG the writer. i just read a story on his blog here is a link to it http://ruluwriting.blogspot.com/

i remember that i had a short story that turn in to the first chapter of a book i will some day write. i had written it for chir fry english class. on my paper back from him he had a note for me that said that " this bring forward the sick twistedness that exist in alice in wonderland" I was so happy with this note that i sang all the way home. happy happy joy joy!

any way here is the sorry for your viewing pleasure. edited by Amanda O'brain http://painted-bees.deviantart.com/ (who the f@#k is Amanda O'brain?)

Chapter 1

A tall frail girl with short brown hair ending in curls, accompanied by an unusually large cat scurried down a narrow, bright hallway to the door at the end. The more she ran, the further the door seems to get. Behind her, she could hear the cries of agony, imploring Danielle to stop, to come back. It was difficult to ignore, but Danielle put her hands to her ears in vain hope to block out the nightmarish noise as she pushed on. She didn't travel much further when the ground suddenly melted down like it was goo. The viscous floor swallowed up Danielle and her cat. She tried to scream, but no one could hear her here. As the thick, airless atmosphere enveloped here and robbed her of breath, the world faded to darkness.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The alarm rang 8 pm, which on a digital clock, the cat mused, looked like the word BOO. The room in which Danielle was sleeping a small one with a bed and a lamp, walls with old yellowed wallpaper and a wooden floor. There were two doors in the room; one leading to the rest of the hostel and the other was a closet. The cat was mischievously contemplating the thought of jumping on the young lady to wake her up when Danielle snapped to consciousness with a start. As she panted to regain her breath, she was white as a sheet.
“ Another nightmare Danielle?” asked the cat lazily.

The air was fresh and smelled of pine trees as Danielle step out of the door with the cat on the way to her job at the bookstore on Seventeenth Street. It was that street which housed the town center and the all the small mom and pop stores within the town.
As Danielle made her way to the bookstore she was greeted by a number of people; the old ladies sitting in the patio of a café gossiping over coffee, the butcher standing in front of his butchery, the two lanky twins who owned the bakery and so on.
A plump girl of average height with long black hair stood in front of the bookstore waiting for Danielle for her keys. Faith knew that Danielle would be by soon with the over gown house matt she called her cat. While waiting, her eyes trailed to the big sign on the top of the shop's. It read Roberts & son, Scott’s father, the original owner of the bookstore, had died some time ago, but Scott kept the name. Faith couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache at the thought, having been very close to old man Roberts, herself. She turned her attention away form the sign to see Danielle coming up the road with her unusual pet.
“Oh, good you here, hurry up and open the door we have a lot of work to get through today,” Faith chimed cheerfully.
Danielle nodded and produced a big old key form her coat which she used to open the store.
The morning was nothing unusual. The cat sat out side basking in the sun, while Danielle and Faith spent the morning cleaning, organizing, and dusting the books. The bookstore was bigger than what outside appearances gave credit for. Huge columns of books stretched across its wooden floor and the large windows allowed golden sunlight to pour in.
It was not until afternoon rolled over that Mr. Cooper come in to buy the new cookbook that had come in just the day before, bringing his little girl with him.
“She seems to be having fun,” Faith smiled as she saw the little child run around the store.
“ Mary, stand still for a moment” Mr. Cooper ordered softly, ”I swear that child will be the death of me” he smirked.
“Daddy, daddy can I show them my drawing,” pleaded Mary, pointing to Faith and Danielle.
“ Sure,” answered Mr. Cooper.
Faith smiled, Mary always had a drawing to show them when she was in the store. The child pulled a neatly folded paper from her coat pocket; unfolded it and show it to Faith. One the paper was a naïve doodle of a yellow bunny rabbit and a pink monkey. Chuckling, Faith assured Mary it was a lovely drawing. The young girl replied with a wide grin before proceeding to show it to Danielle. Danielle smiled and looked at the paper. She suddenly stops smiling and all the color form her face drained away and she stood frozen looking at the picture. No one took notice to her unusual reaction, as Mr. cooper announced that they were leaving and Mary, without looking at Danielle, joined her father.
“Danielle, are you ok? You're as white as a sheet.” Faith exclaimed as she examined Danielle.
“ I am sorry. I don’t feel so good, I am just going to go and get some air.” Danielle said as she grabbed her coat and staggered out of the shop.
Faith watched as Danielle walked away with the cat talking to her… The cat talked to her! Faith did a double take but too late Danielle and her feline were out of view.
“Seem like you need some air your self too” Faith thought to herself, “talking cats, really. “
Yet Faith had to admit there was some thing odd about that cat, how it followed Danielle around more like a watch dog, and how it was easily more than three times the size of a normal cat. Danielle had said it was a breed imported from India but Faith was not so sure. Then again, there was some thing mysterious about both of them. Faith recalled the day Danielle moved in to the town hostel with a big old trunk and that cat.

“ Most people move away form here, why would you want to live in Coverdale?” Faith pointed to Danielle on the day she applied for a job at the shop.
“Just look of a new beginning in the country “ Danielle had replied timidly.
Faith had concluded that she was, perhaps, escaping from an abusive ex, or over protective parents maybe. Before Faith was able to ask any more questions, Scott emerged from his office and hired her on the spot. He was often spontaneous like that, but the outcome of his spontaneity was often good. With Scott's acceptance of her, the whole town slowly absorbed her in to the community. Faith had grown to like Danielle and soon they were good friends.
Faith thought that maybe she and Danielle could have dinner in the evening, and made a mental note to ask Danielle upon her return. However, Danielle failed come back. Even at closing time, Danielle was nowhere to be found. Concerned for her co-worker, Faith called the hostel to see if Danielle was there. The lady on the line said that Danielle had left for work in the morning and had not come back.
After closing up the shop, Faith left in search of her missing friend. She looked in the bakery, at the butchery and at the café with the old ladies still gossiping over coffee. It was late in the evening and Faith was just about to give up when she saw Danielle with the face in her hands crying on a bench. The cat was nowhere to be seen.
Faith ran up to her, “ Danielle, are you all right? What’s wrong?”
Danielle looked up, her eyes were puffy and red as she tried to compose herself, “No, no I am fine” she said between sobs.
“ No you are not fine. What happened? Did some thing happen to your cat?” Faith replied, scaling the area in search of the pet.
At that, Danielle's head fell again and she started to look at the ground. Faith tried to comfort but Danielle would not cam down.
“Faith, I can’t I can’t stay here any more.” Danielle sobbed, “They have found me.”

“What are you talking about? Who has found you?” Faith asked in confusion.
As they talked, a white SUV pulled up in front of them and out jumped a broad, tall man in a black suit sporting a yellow bunny mask. He pulled open the door open of SUV, and in side, Faith caught a glimpse of a similar looking man with a pink monkey mask.
As Faith tried to comprehend this strange sight, Danielle got up somberly started toward the SVU.
“W—what's going on Danielle?” Faith stammered.
Danielle stopped and turned to face her bewildered friend. She favored her with a wide, assuring smile but her eyes were unconvincing.
She replied in a monotonous voice “I am going now, I had a good time work with you Faith, tell Scott I am sorry I did not give a two week's notice”.
She swooped down and kissed Faith on the cheek but as she began to leave again, she whispered, “Come and find me please”.
Danielle, with a large smile to mask her dread, stepped in to the to the SUV. The man in the yellow bunny masked closed the door, politely bowing to Faith before retreating back inside the SUV. They drove away, and out of sight, leaving Faith in jaw dropped dismay.
Once they had left that Faith tried to recount what had happened, and shook her head in disbelief as she realized that those were not masks the men were wearing. As she sat on the bench bewildered, she flinched as dripped on her face form the tree above her. Thinking it was water, she raised her hand to wipe it but the liquid was blue and was the same opacity as blood. More of this blue start to drip on to Faith, and she drew her eyes up to see the source. She let out a blood curdling scream as her gaze fell upon the gutted body of the cat.

Akuma

2009-10-03T19:17:00.000-07:00

hey guys,

today I wanted to try make a serious approach to this post. recently i am working on this print commission for a friend. it is to be a very big print,hence it has be broken in to phases. the print is of Akuma from street fighter and super girl from dc doing a face off. there is the thumb nail for the image. it is very small.
now, I scanned it in and began to work on it in photoshop to create an under drawing of akuma to paint on. here it is small as well.

I can see that it has problems but before i could fix them, we had a print making class in college and i used this under drawing to make a series of 3 prints. this is 3/3
I will be posting more stuff related to this project soon.

cheers
