"Snake...? snake...? SNNNAAAAAKKKEEEE!!!!!!



Happy New year everyone, hope everyone had a good Christmas.. I was home for Christmas and my cousin was kind enough to lend us his PS3 so I finally got to play and complete Metal Gear Solid 4. Its a long time since had the chance to get into a game and its amazing!! Thanks Junior. ...oh...and I had a really good christmas as well. It was nice to spend time with my girlfriend, family and cool seeing my nephew, goddaughter and niece. They're all just over a year old but growing incredibly fast.

I’m really pumped for the New Year and scared at the same time. 3 months left on the illusionist and the pressure’s on. Definately interesting times ahead.

Also saw Slumdog Millionaire and the Wrestler over the last few weeks, both fantastic films definately recommend them.

I saw this a while ago via Catsuka but recently a site was launched in a higher resolution (also found via Catsuka) so check it out

Thanks to all who have commented or visited my blog thus far. I was pretty lousy last year at keeping up to date , I hope to remedy that this year.

And Again....

Wes

Great Snake Wes. Long time brother. I'm glad to see everything is going well in your world. I'm just staying busy over here in the States. I started teaching a figure drawing class and I'm getting ready to go back to school. Hit me up some time when you get the chance.

Peace,
Joe

Carlos Fraiha said...

hey wesley!
your drawings are really inspiring... love the old man with the mug. all the other ones too, but that one specifically.
thanks for the comments on the reel! i've been meaning to cut it down, but i find it so hard to decide which shots to drop. if you have any suggestions, let me know. but i know you're busy, so don't worry about that - just if any come to mind
oh, and i was looking at the ink website... are there any inbetweener vacancies still open? if so i'll put some drawings together tomorrow to apply!!

Hey Mr, hows you? Do you have to wear a kilt. The prospect of seeing you wearing a frock is mind boggling, ha ha ha.

Love your work man, way cool!

And yes finally!! Still life's experiences are like good wine the longer they take the better they taste :)

Did a 15 page comic strip for GP was a lot of fun will post it soon. I'm yearning to go back to Japan. London is killing me body and soul!!!
