I haven't posted a journal in three months, its time for an updated one.


I'm still working on things randomly, I've been writing more lately and thats taken a little of my drawing time. However, I have been managing my time better, so both my writing and art should benefit from that soon.

I've decided to start drawing more randomly, instead of sitting on ideas and drawing only the ones I realy think are worth it, I'm going to be posting sketches more often.

I will also be doing random people's characters, as practice for drawing other body shapes and designs. How many I do and how often I do them is going to be completely random, and if I know you but don't do your character it's not personal, I either haven't thought of a pose or situation yet, or it just hasn't caught my eye yet. It's completely random, and I may not even do that many.

Now on to the reason for the journal title.

I'm bringing my vintage Honda dirt bikes to the city, I own a 1977 XR75 mini crosser, and I have yet to pay for my 1981 XL125s, but it's a definate buy, and I've already been riding it. I love vintage bikes, because they are reliable and both of these bikes have proven to be absolute tanks.

Both of them are in pretty bad condition, but they run. Once I rebuild my XR75 it will go back up to my vacation spot, but my XL125s is going to be my city rider, it's a dual sport, and is perfect for city riding, it's light and quick on the throttle.

I have a classic style helmet too, at my vacation spot people look at me as if I jumped forward in time, with my leather finger gloves, classic bell helmet and vintage bike.

The reason I'm writing about them is that I'm going to be doing custom paint jobs on both of them, since the original paint isn't completely intact. I've already dubbed the XR75 the Red Dwarf, since it's red and looks quite small when I stand next to it.

My XL125s is going to have a very unique design on the tank that is still in the works, I hope to get someone to airbrush it, but in the event that fails, I may simplify the design and paint it on myself.
