Red Flight Pinup 1 - Janson
by *HiddenMutation

[So *this* is why Syd ambushed me at two in the afternoon, asking what colour Wes' eyes were. ] This turned out very well indeed!...

BUSINESS.....Want to purchase a commission?
LEISURE.......100 Pictures Challenge Progress






The author is an unpredictable, disillusioned biologist who has long since quit hanging around supposedly sterile environments, processing icky bodily substances from humans, and turned to teaching students to release icky bodily substances from frogs. When not making a hell of a lot of noise on an oversized metal slide whistle with delusions of grandeur, the author entertains hallucinations of becoming Supremely Evil World Tyrant of Pink Bunnies (which is occurring on a disturbingly regular basis). The Surgeon General has determined that this post may be detrimental to your ocular and mental health. If you experience dizziness, migraines, shortness of breath or temporary insanity, please report to the nearest hospital for medical aid.

The author would also like to state for the record that the author is *not* a crazed, romantic serial killer who keeps the heads and body parts of victims on display in various rooms of the house.


JOKES FOR THE WEEK



[At biology class, discussing photosynthesis and leaves]

STUDENT: Teacher, why doesn't this look the same as the onion cells we saw in school? Don't onions have chloroplasts?

ME: No. Okay, think. Where do onions grow?

STUDENT: [thinking] On trees?



[At a recent massive political dinner, where the VIP is a major political figure]

POLITICIAN: I was here recently to officiate the extension of [the local] airport. This is the first time I've seen an extension that's even LONGER than the original! [audience laughs]

MY DISGRUNTLED PARTNER: [muttering] Yeah, we use it for our rocket launcher.


:giggle:


IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR


... To spring clean my gallery again. I got into another of my "I hate everything I did!" moods and threw out more than 60 drawings, fractals and photos, including a whole bunch of popular paintings and four chapters of Project Garrity (because not even that is spared my wrath). But they're still in my scrapbook if you want to see them (and they're still archived in my numerous folders). I admit that I'm that weak in actually throwing stuff away. :laughing:


ASK ME, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE...



[ I'm stealing this idea from you, :icon11-73-3-33: ;) ]

Ever had a question you wanted to ask me, but never had the chance to? Want to know what coloured socks I wear, if they match, or if I ever wash them? How I can claim to like the durian, a fruit that tastes like heaven but smells like hell? Leave a comment at this journal and ask away. :D I'll answer all questions. If I feel they're improper, you get smacked in the head with a frozen mackerel. Or worse, one of my unwashed socks.

For all you know, I may even archive some of the more entertaining Q&As in my next journal entry. ;)



PLEASE WELCOME...


... :iconthe-blonde-vortex:~The-Blonde-Vortex, :iconmira-jade:'s completely random sister, to Deviant Art! She's only 16, but she already has her own distinctive style (and mind you, they're very good paintings). Check out some of her deviations here:

Oooh! Um, can I make you one? :giggle: You don't have to use it more than one day but...it would be fun, lol. I mean, you make IDs for everyone else and I thought you might like to have that reciprocated. :eyes:

Great pieces of work you got there, you're very versatile, with subjects ranging from science to music to even race cars and SW! You're very keen on photorealism and your eye is sharp as a sword! Now I'll indulge in the pleasure of following thy sublime and magnificent work, if thy majesty does not object. :D
["To look for garden fertiliser" lol is that a euphemism for 'human matchmaking' or mere fun nonsense?]

Thanks very much! And haha, how could I mind? I'm happy when people like what I draw. :aww:

And er... the "garden fertiliser" bit is a joke referring to my Garrity diaries. ;) Specifically the chapter, "Summer Harvest".

Ah, thanks man, I read it! And uh... wow, a psycho killer that's into gardening, how's that for odd and sinister! Very sublime, actually. It reminds me of one of Sherlock Holmes mysteries in which he says "doctors make the greatest criminals." so true...

I'm into gardening as well, (though I'm nothing to do with murders) and right now I'm trying to harvest pumpkins. I've already seen the dotted big leaves of it. It's satisfying, indeed.
