A top bloke in my drawing class at uni called Jackson Parker (currently exhibiting at Cube) told me about this book. It’s amazing. It’s this old book originally published in 1851 and has illustrations of absolutely everything! From ‘Phenomena of Condensation and Air Currents’ to ‘Military Ceremonies and Processions of Rome’ to ‘Cotton Processing Equipment’ to ‘Plants with a Resinous or Milky Sap’.
it’s bloody amazing! Here are a few shitting scans!

Today my van is getting taken to the wreckers. It has taken me, my family and my friends many miles  in fine style. She will be dearly missed.

that’s $450 all up.. Negative-LOLZ.

Today at work a guy came in and said “can I have a double shot ristretto cappuccino” and i said “sure” and wrote it down a bit messy and he saw this and said again “a double shot ristretto” in a sternish voice and i was all happy (cause i was having a good day) and was like “yeah man my writing is just a bit messy, all good.” And then i said “$3.70 thanks” and he’s like “it’s usually $3.50” and i said “yeah prices have gone up, that’s life” in a kind of yep-it-sucks kind of way and he looked at me and said “you shouldn’t say ‘that’s life’ its like saying suck shit” and i said “nah, i meant it like ah well that’s life sucks for all of us, prices going up always sucks” and he said “well you come across like you mean it like suck shit” and i said “ummm, well sorry you misinterpreted me, but i meant it in a rather placid way” and he told me how i should say it in a polite way and i said “well it’s a bit of a misunderstanding” and he said “i didn’t misinterpret it you mispronounced it” and i said “no, i meant to say that so it wasn’t a mispronunciation” and at this point i swear his eye was twitching and he had long blonde hair a was slightly big and almost Kurt Cobainish and i got scared and said “ah well, whatever sorry bout that”. And walked away. And he pissed me off super bad, but we listened to springsteen and kanye and q-tip all day so it wasn’t even an issue. Apparently the same guy went off at lucas that works at my work too. People like that suck. Here’s a picture i drew that has nothing to do with that:

And we spill blood and do it for the love
Come meet us down at the Scum Fighter Social Club
We got buds and bags and a carton of cans
So come get rowdy in the crowd of these Scum Fighter bands and dance

I’ll tell you now this ain’t no culture of kings
We’re just the kids who can fly without any wings
And we’re feeling the love that this music brings
Sitting down and taking swigs instead of taking swings

on another note, I think i might have ADHD because i took some ritalin to see if it made my drawing awesome and fast and stuff (cause its speed ain’t it?!) but now i just feel lazy…. friend’s prescription drug fail. lame.

my mum said “draw me a mermaid with some stars and a boat.” I bailed on drawing the stars or the boat and I guess its a merman, but hey, whatever.

So, I’m building up some shit for all you blog followers to believe in. It’s the Scum Fighter Secret Society and its secret in the sense that only people with access to the inter-web can know it.
I can’t be fucked explaining but it’s based on some crazy Tarot, Astrology, Order of the Silver Star kind of shit rad chilllin with mates building shit and drinking and battles kind of shit.
here’s a diagram I just knocked up:

So pretty much it’s these three deities (THE THREE) symbolised here by the three eyes. And each one represents an element of ‘manness’ symbolised by the Bottles, Sword and Hammer. And it says what those symbols represent  in the diagram. So, THE THREE chill in the earth and the you have these Diamond Mountains made up of 4 triangles; 2 triangles represent man’s evil foes and 2 representing man’s rad foes. Wild creatures sit on top of the Diamond Mountains and throw rocks at THE THREE and try unbind the bonds of man.

Here’s some religious imagery for you (notice symbols):
