Ground Hog Day
I think I’ve reconstructed the same menu into 3 different languages too many times today, each complain resulting in major changes to the layout, font style, size, leading, whatever. What I love about this place is that everyone share’s their most horrible agonizing pains, and it makes my problems feel like a grain of salt. Definitely stay away from fml or group hug though. Place...
Molested in train
Not really, but you kind of get used to being felt up and squished together in a tiny carriage heading to central. Its all not that bad especially if the person is good looking. The Ipod becomes a god send in these conditions, several times I’ve haven’t been able to move my arms afraid I might cause a giant human tidal wave or the train destruction scene in Men In Black 2. I got two...
Holiday blogging is fun
No wonder why people who come to work from overseas suck. I’ve been working abroad for a while, not being able to communicate technical stuff to your workmates is almost like not knowing what to do at all. They might as well put a pot plant on my chair. Lucky the guys in the office are nice and they’re really isn’t that much for me to do in the printing office at the moment....

No More All Nighters!
The crew of the 3rd year painters are having an exhibition this Wednesday at the Phoenix Gallery at Deakin University Burwood. The deal was everyone showcase atleast one painting, while there is a possibility you can show two if there was enough space. I spent from 11pm until 7:30am today repainting one of my first semester works because it was that bad! The finished product looks great though all...
Follow me! Follow you!
I just want to thank and add everyone thats been following this utter shit blog for who knows how long. I think it’s only nice that I add whoever follows me, as long as that blog doesn’t belong to FML which will clog up my updates page from anything decent, and fill it up with teenage rants and depressions. But yeah, I’ve added everyone who added me through the years since I...
Freeze! Fucken too hot to be creative!
I thought the point of being sick is so you become immune and won’t suffer the same sickness again for atleast a while, but no…. I’m the only person with this type of luck to catch a cold in Summer. Summer! I thought Summer was meant to be hot! I want to go to the beach, I want to tan my forbidden pale albino skin to turn into a nice crispy M&M shell but at the same time,...

Maxwell Maxwell Maxwell
Heres a larger drawing of Maxwell I did last night in about two hours. I wanted to stay away from the paper cut look and went with the squishy shiny porcelain look. The reason I love Maxwell so much is because he was created to fit in an anonymous creative environment. His childlike bodily traits totally match his visual appearance as a half puppet, non speaking character that lives for nothing...
Another project that never took off the ground
My growing list if imaginative projects ever increases. The latest one is an electronic dictionary for Scribblenauts. Basically the game which will some how be bought over the the DS ware service *cough* has the complete run list of the Scribblenauts dictionary including all words that could be typed in. In addition, the regular Oxford dictionary has been included, as well as a Thesaurus. Other...
Did I say Scribblenauts had awesome music?
I never noticed it when I type my limited creative words into the game, that the music so damn addictive! For a game where everything feels built around cardboard cut outs, the sound track simply sounds adorable with the occasional kiddy chanting and flutey keyboarding. I picked my favorite piece from the game. The songs aren’t actually named though this one is listed as song 3.

Things found on Nintendogs
Nintendo deserves a medal for creating something that we can all enjoy without being called losers because we don’t fit in the blood and guts of the pew pew pew era. Personally I never knew the appeal of looking after an electronic breed of dogs but it kills time, and the goodies that you pickup is second to none. Only if the dogs I walked found the following items on our daily strolls.

Stupid Customers!
Dumb Customer: I'd like a fried banana
Wendy: Heres your Banana Fritter
Dumb Customer: No I wanted a fried banana
Wendy: But that is a fried banana. A banana fritter
Dumb Customer: No I ordered a fried banana
Wendy: This is a fried Banana!
Smart Customer: A fried Banana is a banana fritter!
Dumb Customer: Sorry I actually a ordered a fried banana in toffee
Wendy: Thats a toffee banana which is actually not on the menu
Holy crap Its raining!
I’m not saying it never rains here in Melbourne, listening to my Ipod as the time hit 11 for my shift to finish up, this is the first time I’ve witnessed lightning soo bright and persistent, it actually looked like something from the movies. I only watched The Knowing last night, about the end of the world only because after that Iced Coffee Big M kept me awake. It tasted soo good, I...
Typical conversation with Matt
Katja: I wonder if those flavored mineral waters are any good
Me: Most of them are ok. Just dont get the Lemon flavor....
Katja: Why not
Me: Ive tried it once, when you open the lid, it smells like shit literally
Matt: What? did you say it smells like dick?

Lets All Go To Yumcha
If you guys haven’t been to Yumcha before, all I can say is that you have betrayed me and I can’t be your friend anymore. The concept itself is the pinnacle of greatness that cannot be matched. Thinking about hitting ChinaTown Sharkfin house with the peeps for some DimSim action. Get anything thats been steamed, well almost everything. they’re usually the most fresh, lets take...

No... Never again as long as I live
Everyone hates work. Dont lie to me, if everyone had a choice, no one will be waking up 6 in the morning and suffer the pain with everyone else because some dickhead decided that everyone should start at 9 o’clock. Anyone who actually enjoys work that isn’t in their desired field are kidding themselves, with either their first week or they got some crush that they want to bang who...

Going As Maxwell for Halloweener day
Thats right, the Rooster hat will serve it’s purpose and like all costumes, make the owner either look incredibly hot or downright retarded. I prefer the retarded approach even it is politically incorrect. If you’re gonna make a fool of your self by dressing up as dead corpses or sticking food items on your head then why not go one step further? When the kids knock on your door, and go...
Sorry! We couldn't help it!
Something about Manga artists always giving their characters huge boobs to go with their slender body and tiny shoulders. Never been a fan of it but when a cover was required for an older audience, why not try it for once? Redrawing characters using Illustrator was never easy though in the end it helps you to be more precise with your tools. Mind you when it came to the boobs, we didn’t get...
Jazz To Moon Base Two!
I recently got to watch The Transformers Movie. No not the ones by Michael Bay, though I do like them, but the old animated movie released in the eighties. It was shocking, gritty, dark, tragic and definitely not for kids oddly enough. I don’t know how the kids back then could watch a 90 minute cartoon with all their favorite characters being slaughtered, while their roles have been replaced...
Moon Base Shuttle Launch - Vince Dicola
Have you ever played Scribblenauts?
Well you should because this game is awesome! Its always good to step away from the guns and grenades, to something more tasteful. Objectives are simple, yet there are hundreds of ways in which you can solve the puzzle! Warning the game is not suited for itchy trigger finger dumbbells who need to follow arrow points where their own imaginations do not go further than rocket launcher or seedy sex...
Canned Laughter
Something about billboard advertisements really tickle my interest. The best ones are always, short in text, flashy and sometimes totally absurd. I remembered driving home on the highway and saw an advertisement for dangerous driving. Basically it has an image of some snapped CD’s, broken mobile phones and makeup scattered on a glass/bits of car littered road hinting a huge smash. Next to...
All is done, all is lost
I know this should had been mentioned before but I would like to say thank you to all that went to our exhibition last week! You guys truly made it feel alive! The Three opening nights were a blast with tickets selling out on Thursday night and Saturday afternoon! Of course to all the guys I worked with in the Freefall group, it’s been blast and hope to see you guys again soon!

The Mighty Lucifen
The Mighty Lucifen was one of the first characters created for the billing. Freefall comics wanted a stronger female presence that wasn’t generalized to the role of the useless house wife or love interest. Concept designs were all hand drawn, before being scanned and then traced with the pen tool using Adobe Illustrator. Five things I love about Vector images. One, they’re clear to...
Restarting Transmission
We’re back! And damn its been a awhile, again. The latest developments in The Egg company for the past three to four months have been designing covers for FreeFall comics. A privateer comic group with an interesting history behind them. Given instructions to create some character designs, there wasn’t really a theme we had to follow. It’s kind of a wonder how the characters Sniff...

Under Contract my friends
Today we were sitting around a table discussing what we wanted to do in our futures down the road. Funny enough when it was my turn, the whole table was silent. Not once have I ever thought I wanted to do after University as living through the moment has always been my motto. One thing we all agreed though is contracts suck. Whether it maybe the $20 a week for the local gym or the $50 a month for...
God's wonder child
We spend 60 minutes, 24 hours 84 days and 12 weeks wishing we were on holidays, dreaming that somehow in our poor deprived lives in study suddenly all ended and we’re at Paris drinking coffee and eating those awesome icing cakes that they’re known for. Its been 3 days and I’m tapping my finger tips against the desk on which I have my elbows pressed against. There are only 3 more...
True Blue Comeback
Well it has been two hundred days since the last update, yes i’ve been keeping count and to my suprise the blog still stands by a thin thread. Don’t worry, DimSum isn’t gone, he’s just not around at the moment. Probably farting on some poor class mate’s face or hanging onto mummy’s boob. The holidays are back in and its time to kick your shoes off, brew a nice...

Chinno's world level 06
I’ve never felt comfortable making Chinno in colour. Infact I’ve been pondering about this all week, which is why there hasn’t been an appearance from the coffee cup for pretty much over a week. Looking at it now, it wasn’t as bad as I first thought. It did bring some life into the monochrome theme playhouse but the bigger question for me is whether I would continue doing...
Chinno's world level 05
During the summer break, three things are happening. I’m sleeping in way more often resulting in wake ups of about 2pm. Two I’m spending alot of more time working at the restaurant with the gut feeling that it is becoming my destiny. And Three I accidentally wiped out my Girlfriend’s external hard disk while proceeding with a full desktop reformat. I never felt so horrible in my...
