Pure Pop
Because of all the creativity going on and new stuff to check out, I actually have not exhausted the hottest songs of the year! It's like I've saved something of them by not hearing them too much.
One of his three debut number ones: the ATL's B.O.B.!
Big year for crossovers: hipsters listening to Americana and country back in the Pop Top 40. Did you ever expect Cease ill to put on Lady Antebellum? Well, why even record a record with no appreciation to what is happening out there. I am back in touch with teenage hit record lover with his first girlfriend. Yah, you'd think I'd put up Taylor Swift on that cue. I just like the completeness of this song.
Here is one great lyricist.

Vado Bujinka
Our dear friend was travelling out of the country for a few weeks to study. I started a fantasy story to entertain her a spell against homesickness.
All this time later, the character, who I was mulling over for a guest spot in another untold tale, pops into my noggin when I ran across a drawing challenge: draw your favorite Sword & Sorcery character!
A Half Moon genesis.
Here, I'm inking one level at a time: the thickest fills come from one end of my Copic Pen 100. Then I break out the Microns, and lay in the bottom lines that remain with my .7, then some fine details with the .03, then the .5 to fill the rest.
After that, I white out mistakes and redraw them. I need a less cruddy white out, so when the free stuff runs out I'm going to experiment with finding recommended brands.
So, with her science fiction trappings mixed with tribal magic and myth (and a healthy dose of R.E. Howard adapted by Roy Thomas in Conan the Barbarian), Vado (VAH-doh) insisted I employ my modest skills to her definition.
So here we are: over an hour penciling, then that again, maybe more, inking and photographing and head scratching. Truthfully, this is still but a beginning.
