Damn Alright Dion

Alright so last friday was beer night as most of the peeps here know. Anyway i was trying to figure out what the thing i was wearing was called soo i went to Kat to try to figure out what it was called, Ruby said it was a Lava Lava but Kat said it was a Pareo.

sooo according to wikipedia:
"The pāreu or pareo (see below) is the Tahitian word for wraparound skirt. Originally it was used only to refer to women's skirts, as men wore a loincloth, called a maro. Nowadays the term is applied to any piece of cloth worn wrapped around the body, worn by males or females."

sooo i was wearing it wrong but ahhh well
i thought i looked ok
and really thats all that really matters as long as i'm comfortable in my own skin

anyway on to more things

Alright so a cool artist to mention is David Cousens or DavetheOriginal as he is known in Conceptart.org
I first heard of him way back in '03 or '04 (i'm not sure)
i was surfing the web and stumbled into conceptart.org
and i kinda clicked around
saw a forum called "new media coloring book vol. 2"
and in there artists were putting up their lineart
and were letting people color it
so there i was looking at all these pictures
and i saw david's lineart and immediately fell in love with the style of it
booted up Adobe Photoshop CS (wow old)
and got to coloring his artwork
at first i didn't know how to color so i just copied his style
let me see if i can find it

this is mine
hmmm hopefully he still has it
(10 minutes later)
ok i can't find it
but trust me when i say that picture up there is pretty close to it
anyway hes a really cool artist
hes very helpful when you post something up
like for example he'll tell you that you are improving and he'll link to a site that can help you some more

now its time for some of his artthe bottom two is from his Computer Arts: Top 10 Fun Things to draw
the top is just cause i like skull boy and the luchadore frog

more of his art can be seen at
