Babies are Tricky

This is a rough sketch of an idea from a comic book that I'm making. My hands are dropping off with the cold...

Played dreadfully in class yesterday. My teacher actually asked if I had not had any time to practise last week! He liked the Christmas bottle of wine though, ha, ha. Nothing like a rioja to soothe the savage brow.

Tiling Dogs

You know those people that can draw perfect circles? Well, I just drew a perfect square!! I am trying to work out how to do seamless tiling, which as you can see, I didn't line up properly in a few places. This is a) because my eyesight is failing. b) I need new reading glasses. c) I am working at the wrong scale. d)I don't know what I am doing.
Anyway, I put all the dog faces on one image which was about 1.500 pixels wide and I wanted to select a square from the image so I selected a portion and when I came to resize it to 500 pixels it was spot on...right down to a pixel!!!! I am sure there is something to press that would automatically select a square like pressing the control key or something but I still astonished myself.
Okay, here's a link to a shipbuilder. He probably built the "Mary Rose" and the "Titanic" too.

If you need a laugh this will do the trick.

New Hat.

It bucketed down with rain all night and I'm trying to book a flight to England which is a mammoth exercise in lateral thinking. It is more complicated to get the the Lake District than Brazil.

Well, I got through the pretend guitar exam on Thursday but it was nerve racking. My teacher says he always feels sick before a recital. Why? Are people that perform in public scared the audience is going to attack them? Is it a fear of making a fool of oneself? In a funny way the pretend exam upped my ability to relax a notch...at least at home, anyway...ha, ha.

The above is done in "Artrage", a really good value piece of software. I could get quite addicted to it.

Woah! This new layout is weird. I want the lettering below the picture not above it. Going to have to snoop around the templates.
