with it, I scribbled most of this afternoon at the Scottish Design Exchange and learned the words to a number of Christmas songs. Also Richie came over and said hello which was a nice surprise and good chin wag.
Walken reading Poe – spooky
studio time so needing some background noise to drown out the Leith banter – so how stoked was I to find this http://goodness.greatergood.com/walken-the-raven-audio/ – Christopher Walken reading the original king of the dark tale Edgar Allan Poe

monkey helpers
was doing some drawing at OT again when these monkeys turned up, Amie and Neve. so thought the “king of the swingers” old king Louie the orangutang would be good, didn’t mean for him to look so fierce.

top hat, jelly lips
did some more drawing in the Scottish Design Exchange this afternoon – old “top hat, jelly lips” which materialised from nowhere? the subconscious is a wonderful place.
didn’t manage to finish the hat though 😦
pigs might fly
i did some drawing at the Scottish Design Exchange again this afternoon, solo this time as everyone was nursing hangovers it seems. also sold a piece which is always nice 🙂

blizzard let down
was so looking forward to the full version of StarCraft 2 but Blizzard seem unable to get their servers or client download to work – 3 days of pain, Blizzard and the game still do not work. #hugeletdownblizzard.
my advice is unless you WANT to waste hours waiting on downloads that don’t work or you enjoy having to completely change your machines settings so nothing else runs then go for Blizzard games otherwise get a xbox or playstation – at least those games work.
