Someone told me that what am asking for besides a smack in the face, is submissions. Great so I have to go and write a submission guide or something. So here it is in some form...

Writers

Wordsmiths who can form a sentence better then me are in. So that is your level, I don't want no "Am not sure if it's good enough blah blah" submit it, its good have faith in yourself I have faith in you.

Anything, Poems, stories, rants (I like rants, rants are good) anything and everything.

Is there a line that you can cross maybe it's called Livejournal.

Artists

Art (goes without saying) but if artists want to write about art or things they have seen they please feel free.

All copyright will belong to the creators.

At the moment, I can't pay. Don't turn away in disgust. What ever money is made goes back into the zine to pay for more prints and ink.

Dude.

2009-09-27T19:58:00.004+01:00

Boy I've been a busy little bunny.
Lets take it back 3 weeks or so and I will begin this little tale. So it was Monday the 7th of September, I was at my friends flat in manchester watching black books on the apple mac. My phone is on slient as I had reached that point where I didn't want to deal with it anymore. So it round about 4 pm, I check my phone.
On there is flashing an anwser phone message at me, bare in mind I had been for a job interview that day as well, So I was hoping that there might be a quick response. It wasn't. It was Gemma Boner the press officer from Topman, ringing to inform me that I had won the competition I had entered 4 days eariler.

http://blog.topman.com/2009/08/calling-all-artists-to-the-topman-topshop-liverpool-store.html

Thats the link with all the infomation on it.

So I had won this competition that I didn't expect to win. I know all people who win always say that, but I didn't, the images where designed not to win. I sent in 8 images all ranging from what people get up to behind closed doors, and when you stare into the room through the Keyhole.

But holy fucking shit, I won, I texted away to everyone I had in my phonebook telling them of this piece of news, replying back with messages of well done and what not, but I couldn't help thinking that so how in all this this bastard of a project that needed to be done and in a time scale that was very slim to say the least.

Bad Mood Friday

2009-08-21T11:32:00.002+01:00

I admit it, I've woke up in a bad mood. It could be the fact I have to got to job school later, the lack of sleep or the hangover that's kicking in and the fact I have no smokes at hand. My hangover days follow the same pattern I wake up, I get annoyed by the tinyest little thing that someone has done, and I snap, its then My mission to point out the fact am annoyed.
My hangover attack today is photo albums on Facebook, but more on the names and content. Don't get me wrong calling a Album 'Wedding Photos' then filling it with photographs of your wedding is expected, same goes for photos of my dog and photos of my half naked asleep model girlfriend.
No it shite like random, Nights out (or nights out that are given a date after it NIGHT OUT 2-08-09 LOLZ LOLZ. The date thing after a title bugs me to no end, if comes across as showing a few things
1: Look how Out going and fun I am to be around, the date oh just to prove to people how often I go out and fun I am (double fun here kids)
2: Am so busy, I need to keep track of my calander by Facebook photos.
3: add your own, I was going to work something about STD's and pregrencies into it.

The random thing bugs the shit out of me, it really does. I'll tell you why,
A few years ago I was at a party, I was drunk, I got talking to this quite pretty thing, well I say talking this is what happened,

"Hey how you doing, My name's is Dave, who are you?"
I was drunk and forgot my manners

"Am Lucy and am weird"
Am not sure if her name was Lucy, I was drunk

"hmmm reallly I need more beer......"

I wasn't scared off by crazy lady. I really did another beer, then I hunted down the son of bitch who invitied her to this party and gave him a ear beating.

" DUDE, CRAZY GIRL IN YELLOW "

"Who?"

" LUCY "

" Ah what about her ?"

" She told me she was weird."

" That bugs you dude ? "

" Yes, weird people don't say there weird, you find out there weird "

I left it at that and got very drunk, danced half naked in the basement and passed out at 6 in the morning watching sunday morning cartoons.

So its this cross over from saying your weird, and people finding out your weird. Its like finding an emo, looking at him and knowing he's emo and you don't ask if he is emo, because you know. Unlike the little emo fucks who dance and jump and sing that there emo, there not emo, there attention seeking fucks,
another expamle, cutters, you only find a cutter out by accident, they never tell.

So bringing it back to my bad mood friday. People who create albums on facebook call it random, in some vein attempt to seem wacky adding depth to an already hallow 2d profile. It just seems like people's commom sense has gone out the window went it comes to thess albums. Find that person who trys a little too hard, you know the one, and hunt for a random album of wacky and crazy stuff and see if it makes you feel like you want to drink with that crazy and whacky person who has a snow cone on his head.

These people are trying too hard to show of to get noticed by the 200 friends they have, to make it seem like there are not sad and a loser on facebook home of the ADD kids.
Huh i've lost my train of though......

Update

2009-08-12T09:39:00.002+01:00

10 More Reasons You Should Not Hire Me

2009-07-31T17:05:00.003+01:00

This is another 10 Reasons why I should not be hired by an employer.

My Blackmailing Skills.
If hired, I would have an affair with the Boss.When they call time on the affair I will black mail them into giving me a higher position.

My New Letterheads.
I will photocopy areas of myself best left unseen. I will then used this as my new letterheads which I will send out to everyone.

My Respect For My Boss.
I will call everyone higher then me as “Bubblecakes” male or female, am not sexist.

My Contributions.
Any contributions am asked to make will always be 2 dead bees, a flying monkey and a pint of blood. Be this for a leaving present or a group disscussion.

My Interaction With Other People.
I will see them as my playthings for I am lord and master of this place you call Earth.

My Work
In every project I work on, somewhere I will place a very small picture of a Gummi Bear

My Dress Sense
If you were to ever have dress down Friday. I would come in naked expect for a bow tie and a smile.

My Fears.
I will remind you every time you send an e-mail that Skynet has logged it and will use it against you when it enslaves humanity.

My Slide Into Madness.
Remeber the boat scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That is what the slide is expect it’s 50 ft and attachs to fire escapes and is 100% non toxic.

My Friend
If a deadline is looming and I haven’t done something, Its because my friend was suppose to do it for me. His name is Harvey he’s a 6ft white rabbit.

10 Reasons Why You Should Not Hire Me.

2009-07-31T16:48:00.003+01:00

I applyed for a job as a rail travel consult. Which is basicly booking train tickets for rich people to travel first class who are too lazy to use the internet. Which was my entire application and my cv thrown in there for good measure.
I recevied the quickest rejection letter in the history of my job seeking histroy. With the letter citing 5 reasons why I was not going to be asked for an interview. The main big one being

" You don't have full understanding of a computer system used to book train tickets "

I do its called the network rail site, I type in where am going where I want to get to. I've used it to get to Wales, to get to London, planned a trip to Long Eaton. It's not that hard. Not to be dishearted by this and amused by the childish feel of the letter I wrote my own list of 10 reasons why I should not be employed by anyone.

Reason 1:

My Own Safety.
20 % of the Skelmersdale work force is unemployed. That is 2,000 people who would be infuriated if I was hired.

Reason 2:
My Collection.
You will be adding to my collection of rejection letters. It is less embarrassing then a stamp collection.

Reason 3:
My Pets.
Employment will hamper the creation of the Blue Flying Monkeys. Wings of an Eagle, body of a Gorilla and the physics of a Bumble Bee.

Reason4:
My Caffine Addiction.
My blood is 50% coffee. Hiring me will double what you spend on coffee.

Reason 5:
My True Love.
I am in love with my JSA advisor. Everytime I go in and she looks at me with that contempt and pity in her eyes it sends tingles down my spine. Would you really rob me of that ?

Reason 6:
My Tan.
When the sun shines down and you wish you where in a beer garden. I am. I am sat there spending your tax money on Salt and Vinegar crisps and working on my tan.

Reason 7:
My Career as a Ninja.
When unemployed for a certain time, I will sent on a Job Centre retraining course to aid me for employment. I am hoping they train me as a ninja.

Reason 8:
My Interests.
Jeremy Kyle and This Morning, a human circus follwed by a light topical news show. What better way is there to start ones day.

Reason 9:
My Family.
My family love seeing me each day as I do them.

Reason 10 :
My Hobby.
Not working means I can stalk Megan Fox via the internet all day.

Some new stuff

2009-06-18T09:55:00.006+01:00

In desending order, Batman cover, not sure if i posted this before, but I like that much it deserves a second posting, The middle, is a rough design, now I don't like posting roughs but am very happy with this, Its something new am trying so I'd though I'd post it. The last image is for a company who's selling Dog water. Yes Dog water. a simple illustration there is a back to it. which I'll post up later, as its getting turned into a A3 poster around Liverpool. So am going to hunt it down and Have my photo took next to it. Have fun kiddies. El Daveo

Design's

2009-06-12T10:31:00.006+01:00

This is the alien design. With a bone armour, to make sure any hits from the top are protected. It has bone scythes attached to powerful arms. This version of the alien evolved from a subterranean creature that travelled underground. As you can see from the picture on the right, it pops up and dives back down again. As if the soil and earth were just water and it was a fish. But as it grows, numerous things will happen to it.

The robot isn't up yet, quite simplely its the most chanellging thing I've had to design. It starts off from a sphere, think the droids from star wars that roll around all the time. With the battle biped droids, but as it is a sporting event maybe the robot is under a pentely? Hence its starting phase its smaller then that of the alien.

This is the dectivie. There are plenty of other designs I did for him, but this I feel reflects who he is the best.

Photoshopped Like a Monkey

2009-05-22T10:54:00.003+01:00

These are three images I have been working on, its for a web comic I want to try and upload onto blogger and be able to download in PDF. They have been photoshoped quite a bit, using bitmaps and halftone screens and distressed effects. The middle picture and the last picture, I am still not sure which one works well seen as I like both. The middle picture does fit in with the cover, but the last one is much clear, ho hum. I'll suppose it'll be a moment of zen when I start work on the others and see which style fits in.
Anyway its the weekend enjoy the bank hoilday goodness, The man on the TV says it will be a scorcher, so dig out cheesey movies, Me thinks it will rain.

New Idea or so

2009-04-03T10:46:00.002+01:00

I maybe 5 years behind in my thinking, but beeing brought up as an drawer, the chance to play with flash was limited to saying that I owened it and would read the books instead of
a) doing real work
b) saying I would read the books, then look on the 'net for how tos then getting sucked into newgrounds and flash games

ahem

I saw this show on channel 4, a designer used flash to make moving wallpaper, not the TV show but moving wallpaper with jellyfish and birds It was cool and got me thinking,
Alice a friend of mine does pretty lady pictures, i was thinking of incorporating this idea of moving wallpaper with dress patterns, I was thinking it could be used on a website, plus If I pull it off it will look quite cool,

I know that playing around with buttons and movie clips isn't the height of what flash can do but if there is something I have learnt from UCLAN was that you make the best with what you've got (that should of sounded more zen like, but its early and I've only had 1 cup of coffee)

My Zuda Subbmission

2009-03-25T22:59:00.003Z

My Zuda subbmission, well the 1st page and in rough format, the text needs to be sorted out, but am thinking its a pdf-jpg problem and as well as its one of the 1st images i have made soley for web. These bugs will be sorted out,
There is a smarten verison of this, the table and the coffee cups in what should be the second panel have been rounded off more. The panels flowing into one massive panel have been smarten up, if you will notice the boat next to the newspaper has a small white area which needs turning to black, just so everything flows better.
Also the building in the second panel flows into a tree for the last panel, and the white area is more white,
Also the text boxes at the top have been rounded off, to contrast all the jaggered feeling of the panel,
pages 2-8 still need to be compeleted, my time scale of a page a day took a step back after my well dersevered time to take some time off. Hmmm

IN OTHER NEWS

I found a peach of information, Alan Moore's "Twilight of the superheroes", which rurmour has it (I say rumour) that was the bases for Kingdom Come (and the more cynical might say Earth X seen as it was based Alex Ross's notes about his vision of a marvel future, and Ross worked on Kingdom Come, which the rumours say where based on Twilight. DC's lawyers please note I say rumour)

If you can find it on the 'net, you should read it, then read Kingdom Come, and then Earth X, the plot is typical moore and the whole idea is well, you should read it.

I have nearley finshed my notebook on my project, typical Eldaveo, full of half baked ideas and ramdon crap, over the next couple of months am going to start building up some images and other such stuff ( I hate to talk in code, am not THAT paranoid not anymore)
All I can say is its a rehash of an idea I had when I 1st started Uni all those years ago, and am tweaking bits here and there, as my old housemate said quite alot "Epic"

Take care non belivers ?

My Zuda Submission

2009-03-20T10:26:00.002Z

Am currently working on my Zuda submission, am working out the roughs on page 1st before the jolly task of sitting at the computer to work my tush off. A couple of problems that might arise are, the submission should be:
rgb >I have a great book call the Colour book its great for digital work, colour settings for print and screen
800 x 600, along with the 72 dpi, its not the great size I normally work on, I checked a couple of others and it seems that the amount of text I want in might have to be giving to the god of digital art,
Also it looks like webcomics have to be designed for children with ADD, hmmmmm

A brief outline of my plot revoles around this man (am tryign to write it so you don't find out his name, Am trying for a hint of reality and the ways my friends talk, we rarely call each other by frist name "bro, dude, sir, or just a simple Hey, you'll find out his old codename " who left a superhero team to become a cop. He was a gagdet hero, think Batman, Nite Owl, but stripped it all back to carry items that might help him in his cop ways, (think glasses, gun, zippo)

The events that lead into the story are from another webcomic am doing, all refering to the "Blood Angel" event. Am trying to stay away from this massive comic events, ala Civil War, Invasion, 52, Crisis on..., I think these are good for Comic's to do this, as you get to rejig the order of things, but on a small scale with the ideas that flow in my head, its just better to focus on the way people are effected by the events rather then showing the events.
Excuse my writing, Its early and the caffine hasn't kicked in yet.

So the events of "Blood Angel" had an effect and a pretty bad one, the whole world and the way Meta's are seen are changed by this, but I'll shall not tell you, thats for later. There's a memeber from his old team, who has psyhic powers, >heres the comic bit<>maybe at the prices< and released a psyhic blast wave that spreads a mile wide, Men confess to there deepest darkest secrets while women release there inner rage, the effects wear off, but 8 ramdom people are left in coma's.

Is the cop called in because he's a cop ? No because he's a friend, then it all starts to get a bit different after that,
They will be something running along side this, as soon as I work out how to hold storage on this and people are able to download PDF's,

But yes, timetable of events My zuda submission am hoping will be up by end of the month so its in time for aprils comp, i'll be working on my various other titles and am hoping to get WGSDH off the ground HO HA!!

anyway

My CV I was sending about last year, I got no responses, But I've included it here just to give you the idea of what I was trying to aim at. Photoshopped to the max, all the symbols where suppose to relate to what information was in the box, e.g
feet and the up symbol contained my spare time activties, the key and the tools, you guessed it key skills.
Never took off, sniff

2009-03-04T16:30:00.002Z

This is from the infamous "When God Shakes the Devil Hand"
I like the style, composed straight on my fav programe.
The face was the idea for the meta face. Very black and white heavy.

2009-03-04T16:28:00.001Z

She is called Bet, I though she looked like Bet Lynch from Corrie, maybe it was the tiger print hair band thing.

2009-03-04T16:16:00.004Z

This is a design for Chelle, she's from a project I am working on. Photoshopped as it is a rough idea, as soon as I get some bristol broad, Am going to work it up with art markers.

The guy on the right is a basic design for the style of the comic art. By using squared paper, and the grid on Illustrator. I created this.

This little girl was a design for a webcomic, based on lenore
and noremore >sp? the girl from the metro<.
I though better of it since as the market is over flowed if I was to get a writer that could make her seem orignal and more satrical then i could, Then I would consider taking it further.

Where's the......How do I.....Wait...NO....d'oh

2009-01-26T17:23:00.002Z

Ok, so am still working out the kinks in the system, I think I have it all sorted out. Ok, So I press this button,
Ah wait that did nothing, how about.....
No still nothing ahwell.
