Hello let me introduce myself. My name is:

During my earthly wanderings I take this bodily form:

But I assure you. There is more to me than meets the eye. I wander between the realms of

and

This saga will continue, but for now in the words of Marie-Antoinette:

haha, I especially laughed at the "let them eat crack", that's a good pun, and it can be semi-political as well.

As I was saying... I bother myself not with God

Nor with... alternative explanations

I prefer the third option:

It is always best to see both sides of the argument.

Okay I am bored of trying to make these pics form a cohesive storyline-its very difficult. So I am now just going to post random pics. Enjoy.

Caption: Welcome to London

Reason for ^^ caption is me attempting to be funny about the fact that London house prices are extremely high. Having recently entered the housing market this is my sad way of getting back at the 'system'.

This next pic I posted in the art skills thread, but I am going to post it again because that is the kind of guy I am.

Caption: Katowjo, King of the Dragons

Why Katowjo you may ask? It is the name of the bear that appears briefly at the end of the Anchorman. It has absolutely no other connection other than the fact it was the first name that popped into my head.

I do belive that I should cease from typing whatever enters my head. It makes me look odd in the extreme. O well.....

well you definitely have a bit of a different art style,and I guess its always good to see more artists on AG,so I welcome you,and if you participate in them,it will be interesting to see what you come up with on the art competition.

With the credit crunch looming, will people stoop to low cost methods of putting food on the table?

It looks like the figures are traced and just shaded in. But I'm blind so what do I know?

Great artwork, if it isn't traced, ;D

Hmm plokkey, that made me search that rat one, for I had thought I recognized it...

Did you get your other ideas from other places too? Did you trace this? [/bad cop]

Haha, but yeah. I'm really good at searching stuff, and if you did copy them, I most likely will find the originals. ^^

I saw the rat one when I was in NYC. Very impressed so I sketched it.

hmm cholokid after you say that I had to look that up,and while it looked like he took it and drew it as it doesn't look like an exact replica.I looked it up and the original artists is supposedly known as Banksy,who does a lot of art in NYC that pertain to rats.I then looked back at some of them and found that some of the others looked familiar,but can't prove it,and that they do look like they could have been traced.

Ah, but Crimson, tracing by hand has its flaws. I know, I once traced things when I was little, and even as they were traced, could not match perfectly.

Indeed. I have Banksy's book: wall and piece with me. Its very good. Plus the hoodie/knife one. That is in the famous waterloo tunnel in London which I have frequented many times.
