MS Paint Mondays 59

Whazzat? An MS Paint Monday actually on a Monday for once? I know readers I must be crazy! But seriously work has been kicking my butt and leaving me mentally exhausted, but I wanted to get this out for you all today, so let me just get to it, and let's MS PAINT MONDAY!!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* First and foremost, my absolutely beautiful girlfriend is finally coming to visit me after so long, her flight arrives tomorrow and I am beyond excited, and I will try not to gush over it TOO much but just expect a lot about this in the coming posts (if I post often enough to stay relevant anyhow lol)

* Second, today my dear cousin, basically younger brother Victor turns 18 today, that said he is now a MAN, and I can't call him kid anymore which kind of rustles my jimmies since now I feel older by compariosn, ah, how time changes.

* Third, thank God it is spring break in the USA, my education accounts which were flooding my e-mail inbox with issues are now gone... for the week, but that is still very glorious, as always you gotta appreciate the little things! 

Now, I can't complain, I am pretty jovial today and that feeling is loosly transalted into today's paint titled "Happy Birthday Chama", now in case you aren't aware Chama is a Venezuelan slang term for lady or girl, and it was a very good friend of mine's birthday a while back and she was raised in that side of the world, therefore the nickname, she loves cats (just like my GF and Cousin) and "Where The Wild Things Are", so with that I just wanted to add to the celebratory atmosphere I have built in my aura or whatever today.

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.

Much Love, Wachi

MS Paint Mondays 46 and 47

Heyooo Reader's sorry for my sloppiness after just getting back into the swing of things, work life has not been kind as far as giving me free time but I am back and on a Monday no doubt to grace you all with another inspirational piece of mediocrity which is birthed from my imagination into MS Paint... That said, let's all vomit out some doodles as we return to MS PAINT MONDAY!!!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* Soooo, not to toot my own horn, but it was my birthday over the weekend, so I am now a year older, and hopefully wiser, that said I realize as time passes I become more disinterested in my birthday, however it doesn't mean I don't appreciate others' love and attention on that day.

* It makes me think of not all the characters I have created throughout my life, just as I get older my mind adds more madness and brings it to life in the form of doodles, so just like my real life friends, and family, my creations also celebrate with me...

*... No, not in a multiple personality type way, I am crazy but not like that, anyhow, it's more of an Alice in Wonderland type deal where they are always with me during different parts of my life as they are all born through inspiration brought about by life itself... Yes, LIFE!! Not drugs, I get that too often.

* Anyhow, I am now 26, and thought to myself that no matter how hectic life gets, our inner selves, in this case my lame doodles, should never be shut out, but instead allowed to flourish, so that no matter how old we get, we will never forget every little piece of ourselves and how we made it to this day, this MS Paint Monday!

With all that said let's bring in the first of this week's Ms Paints (yes I am posting 2 today) I bring you "Death of Mustardy", now though odd this does have to do with my thoughts, as Mustardy, as well as all the above depicted characters were from a comic I made back in high school titled, "Alien Teke Taku's Earthly Dining" which was a comic were food was sentient but humans didn't mind they both ate and served it, Mustardy was a mustard bottle that was murdered after risking it's like to Alien Teke Taku, just how we sometimes risk parts of ourselves for change. Whether the change be for our better or not we may not always know, but it is a good reflection to have whenever we react overly negative or positive to an alien concept that is introduced in our lives, will we change with it, or keep our ground?

Now as far as the second paint comes in, it is simply and quite explicitly titled "Me, a Giraffe, and some Pickles..." Now if I may be honest when I doodled this I did so mindlessly, this has no real meaning, yet at the same time it just might. A Giraffe, tall and in formal attire, and a pickle sour, moist, and with 2 mini pickles... Could this be how my subconscious perceives growing up? I mean there I am all mopey in the corner waiting for some food, looking away from both creatures, could it be that I see career goals as too high to be bothered with and a family life as something that I don't want to chew on? Sometimes doodles can really make one think eh? I for one don't know if any of this is how I feel, but it's fun to speculate. :)

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.
