, would be living on Allston St. Thank you very, very, much.This all made me feel very bad, because Lucas and his roommates were depending on us to take over their lease for May-Aug31st.
We can't afford to live in that house and then move again Sept. 1st. So that kind of leaves them screwed. Which I feel HORRIBLE about. Sadly, though, we can't screw ourselves over to save them, which I wish we could in a perfect world, but we really, really, can't. Sometime tonight I'm meeting Lucas to give him his lease back, and apologize and explain everything. Also, I'm going to post a few things on Craigslist.com and whatnot to help him find someone else. Take some pictures for him, spread the word, so on and so forth. Bummer. :(
WHATEVER. So, after our appointment with the reality place, Schooney and I went on a hunt for another reality place. We went through two who just interviewed us, and left us with a "we'll call you." Well, that's awesome, because we need to look at places now, since May 1st is in two days? Yeah. Good job, Boston. BUT! We did not stop there! We checked out one more reality place, Real Estate Boston(.com, you can find them at, young one!) and this wonderful agent, Kerry Sampson (yes, I'm promoting, she is amazing) who sat us down, asked us questions and brought us straight to the computer and printed out a folder's worth of places to look at tomorrow at 5:00pm. All in Allston, all cheaper than the Allston St. one, and all of them incredibly nice places. :)
Victory, yes, I do taste your sweet nectars.
Tomorrow night we'll have a house figured out, and the day after we'll sign the contract.
AWESOME! :) :)
Also, I'm going to be an extra pair of eyes for Michelle from New England Comics over here in Allston, and she recruited me to dress up as Ms. Marvel, though, I'm going to try and change it to Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin's Tank Girl.
Anyway, forth with the art, yes?
JAMIE FUCKING HEWLETT.
ON TO GORILLAZ! Hewlett's artwork with the band, Gorillaz has a lot more action than more artists would. It could be for the fact that Gorillaz are a "cartoon-band" so his illustrations are literally, the face and members of the band. He and Damon Albarn have created the full lives, personalities, and actions of the band, and have even go as far as write a biography, create a website- which is a 24-hour monitoring of their "home" and lives, and constantly change the events and actions that the band lives.
(Gorillaz.com) The band is made up of (from right to left- HA!) Murdoc, Noodle, 2D, and Russel. I suggest picking up their biography, The Rise of the Ogre, as soon as you get the chance. It's a great coffee table book, but I was also able to read it all the way through and fully enjoy myself. The stories crafted into that book are fantastic, and you start to feel like it's all real. It's super outrageous.
Either way, I love Jamie Hewlett's attitude, sarcasm, wise-ass remarks, and just flat out insanity in his work, and even interviews. I feel like it's defiantly made me the asshole that I am today. Especially with my own work.
Maybe I'll share that garbage with you all one day.
Maybe.
Golly, this was a shitty sort of tibbit on the ol' fellow, maybe I'll get better at this jazz later on.
Next- David Palmer!
Hell yeah!
Toodles!

Jamie Hewlett has always been one of my favorite artists of all time. He's best known for his artwork in the comic book series, Tank Girl, and as the artist for popular band Gorillaz.
Hewlett, Martin, and Phillip Bond started a fanzine, Atomtan, in Worthing, England. Later on, Hewlett and Martin were invited to work on a zine called Deadline in 1988. This is where the lovely Tank Girl was born. They started a comic strip about a girl, with a tank, who wreaked havoc and quite the impression on all of London with her kangaroo-boyfriend, Booga. I won't go super into this, because, believe me, I fucking will. The style of Hewlett can easily be picked up just by giving a quick looksie throughout one issue of Tank Girl. But I do highly recommend spending some good time examining his pictures. Wise-ass comments and obvious labels can be found all over the bloody place, and to be quite honest, it's just really fun to look at. Comic wise, you can still see Hewlett's work pop-up here and there. My good friend, Bill, got me hooked on this comic series Doom Patrol (Grant Morrison, he got me hooked to him, I'll go into it another day) and to my lovely surprise, Hewlett's work makes appearance in one of the issues. It was super fun. I loved it. I highly recommend picking up that series as well. It's demented.
