Did anyone ever write a SPN version of Cool Hand Luke with Dean as Luke? Because I want it like burning...

I'm very busy doing nothing and trying not to watch too much news to prevent my blood pressure sky rocketing (effing world, effing Trump, Effing Boris and his weapons-grade bellend advisor...) so here's some random art instead.

I bought some (more) new watercolours - I have poor impulse control while watching artists on Youtube videos. I think I now have sufficent supplies of watercolours, sketchbooks and paper to last the rest of my life. I need to find a young artist to bequeath my supplies to...

I only did two fills for

spn_masquerade, and now (of course!) I'm not happy with either of them - argh. But for completeness, here they are.

Firstly, someone requested an Aladdin J2 AU - J1 is a genie. J2 gets three wishes.

Day 1 Myself

I just tried some lilac colour drops this morning - I kinda like it!

yourself (disguised enough that you're comfortable sharing the photo)	your favorite book (we won't tell any of the others you picked a favorite)	merchandise from a fandom (pick your definition of fandom--sports 100% qualify)	your exercise equipment	the view out a window
something alive	a meal	a letter/postcard from someone (feel free to redact)	something that keeps you sane	your computer
a useful tool	memorabilia from an event outside	wild card	a game you've been playing	a musical instrument
something someone made for you	a gift you're planning to give	an outfit you've worn recently (with or without you inside it)	something that makes you smile	the kitchen sink
something unexpected	something funny	a bad habit	a good habit	something you're proud of

It's that time again, time to kink.

I'm just leaving this here because.

I've been working on sculpture trail designs for a while now with lots of deadlines coming up, and I'm feeling all designed out. So last night I started an experimental coloured pencil drawing of Jensen, from the photo on the cover of the calendar the lovely Viv gave me for Christmas. I'd bought an indigo Derwent Procolour sample pencil for a penny as an add on to an order for various other art supplies, so thought I might as well use it.
I rather like it!

I added the reds, yellows and oranges from a Prismacolour set, and decided to stop while I was winning. LOL
Here's the finished Jensen( Read more... )

I've been blessed again with patient and talented authors! This prompt is one I've been mulling over for years and though the art didn't turn out how I wanted, raths_kitten has given me a perfect and utterly charming story which totally lives up to my inarticulate desires!

Yes, it's time to get our pretty little arses in gear in readiness for Yuletide seasonal shenanigans - but fear not, you don't have to wrap this present or put tinsel on it (unless you really want to).

Sign ups/Rules/FAQs

This week fell at a bad time for me, as I was going away from the Thursday, plus two members of our already reduced team of nine ended up not taking part, while a third was not feeling it... I somehow doubt our team will take part again (at least not together in the same format). One invisible person added herself to our team early on then never replied to any emails (which is the only contact route GISH gave) so we have no idea who she was!

However, looking back at what I did, it wasn't too bad. I had said this year I was only going to do challenges I really fancied, and that I was going to try and make them as good as I possibily could. I don't think I quite managed that, but it was a moderate amount of fun! And my active team mates did some fricking awesome stuff, so there is that.

Anyhow, here is a glimpse of my (part) week.

#121 SIDE-BY-SIDE. You know those garden gnomes that dotted your grandmother’s backyard? Well, it’s been a while and now they have fallen on hard times. They have turned to a life of crime and misanthropy. Their little gnome hearts are filled with despair, hatred, and regret. Show us the before and after.

When gnomes go bad...things get very dark, very quick.

Just trying to stay alive on LJ - where is everyone, these days, huh?

Stolen from brutti_ma_buoni, a 31 day meme. I'm trying to decide whether to post every day and fail, or just post randomly. Oh the excitement, hey?

Anyhow, here's today's two answered questions.

1 What are the sexiest names and the least sexy names for a man?

I'm not sure I have a sexy list, but I definitely have an UNsexy list - including Tim/Timothy, Pete/Peter, Roger (snortle), William, Archibald, Arthur (unless you're King Arthus in which case you get a pass), and a whole bunch of those Victorian/Edwardian names that they resurrected from Anglo Saxon times and somehow tarnished forever with their side whiskers and startched shirts.

2 What are the sexiest names and the least sexy names for a woman?

This is harder - there are names I like and don't like but I don't necessarily think of any of them as being sexy.
So I like Rebecca, Roisin, Eleanor, Hazel, Francesca, Genevieve. I tend not to like misspelled made-up meaningless names, or really old fashioned names like Ermintrude or the like. For some reason I've never liked Susan even though it's my middle name, and I now feel bad about that becuase I mentioned it one day in front of my Dad and found out he chose it!! Having said that, I always liked Susanna.

But it kind of depends on the person who owns the name. There are some names I'd never want to give a child but that totally suit a specific person. So basically, no hard and fast rules here!

The rest of the questions are below in case anyone wants to snag the whole list

I've been semi-busy with Compass Rosie, in between semi-packing for Italy, watching Avengers: Endgame and doing fannish stuff for various challenges. The good news is, she's practically finished! Which is just as well as she's due to be collected on Thursday, by Nigel the Man With a Van.

So here she is - three sides of her at any rate, since I realised I forgot to take an up-to-date photo of the mermaid side with the moon and compass rose finished. I'll have to snap that side tomorrow.

I just tried getting that special anniversary card to again but for some reason LJ won't produce it to share. So I decided to screen cap it for posterity instead. Oh and I just noticed even this way it hasn't given me all the information it's given other people - on other's I've seen it said how many comments they'd received as well as how many they'd made.

Kind of sums up LJ in a way, doesn't it! LOL

I'm having a sit down after spraying my gorilla. News Flash - art hurts, folks! My back is sore and my right hand is complaining after holding the spray nozzle down. Heh. I'm a wimp.

So here's the spraying in action. Sorry it's a link not an embedded gif but it's not working and I can't remember the workaround. :(

I did garner some interest from passers by, though not as much as you might expect.

Here's how he looks at the moment - though the darker blue in the photo isn't showing right, it's more a kind of purple. Now I've got to wait until Paul comes home and we are going to attempt to get him into the house. First we need to move Magical Mysteryphant the elephant out...

Before I went to the Isle of Man I'd been painting my first Elmer the Elephant - a Beatles-themed one called Magical Mysteryphant - which I had a lot of fun with. Sadly it's for Plymouth, not my home town trail!
In spite of that, I'm pleased how it's turned out.

John and Paul are on the other side, and the magical mystery tour bus is on the bum.

So he needs to move outside to await collection, and tomorrow I have another blank one arriving from Plymouth which will be next on my list after I've done the gorilla.

I'm still waiting to hear whether I have any more to paint - the Elmers for Newcastle haven't done their selection process yet, so I could still get another elephant. I won't be painting an Oor Wullie, but to be honest, that's a relief as it was such an odd shape.

Time flies! I didn't realise until I checked, but I haven't done an update since December, so I don't feel like I'm spamming you by posting now LOL.

Watched a Very Supernatural Christmas today. Because it's the best, and so are you chaps.
Have a wonderful Christmas, holiday, festival, solstice - whatever floats your boat at this time of year.

Now. Go stab some murderous pagan gods with your Christmas tree. You know you want to.
