shetland's Interests
|
| General | I pass my time mostly by drawing t-shirt designs and gig posters like this:
with a side order of pain, comics and tattoos, random examples of which are hiding behind the picture button. There's meant to be money in this equation as well, but until I sign up for those medical experiments I'm stuck shouting at people till they give me money to go away. ho hum
my favourite way to pass the time, while not plotting to destroy you all, is beating things with sticks OH WAIT that was last week, right now I mostly keep myself busy by shouting at people in the street that they need a haircut
it's the grannies that return the most abuse
| | Music | mostly punk and ska, with a hefty dose of anything you can start a pit to. The important thing to remember is to keep the circle pitting to sociably acceptable places, nothin ruins my afternoon like running away from the cops because I got carried away listening to ska wars and hit an unsuspecting granny in the face with a haddock* by accident
*'haddock ska', not to be confused with 'shrimp punk', holds the world record for briefest musical sub-sub-sub-genre, having been invented, tested and discarded by young Trotsky McGurk following a lively afternoon in November 1987 spent accidentally huffing drain cleaner. Apparently his flatmates, who were also huffing drain cleaner as a side-effect of a vain attempt to get their flat clean, thought Haddock Ska would revolutionise current musical thinking. However it was soon pointed out that Mr. McGurk was blowing into the wrong end of the by now deceased fish and he had no idea how to properly tune a haddock anyway. Songs included 'too much too gurnard' and 'a tuna to you Rudy'.
| | Movies | right now? pan's labyrinth* and the science of sleep, and anything else where it finishes and you spend a day or two going 'holy shit!'
and pretty much everythin Miyazaki touches makes me stain my drawers. mm hmm
*plain old 'labyrinth' makes me go 'holy shit!' too but that's usually just after I've realised the sound is off and mickey is still singing along
| | Television | the box in the corner gets turned on when I want to play games on it
my main televisual problem is with the way the channels put mind-numbin shit on twenty-three hours a day and expect you to be sittin there all civil and obedient with your eyes glazin over just because there's nothin better on. bugger that! buy the dvd if you're that interested, there's a ton of shit you could do if you're bored. Me I go tryin to find out who et my puddin, if I'm not trying to revive haddock ska
| | Books | I read aaaall the books, indie comics for preference but then again there's a vast amount of stuff that grabs my interest, I suppose if you held a loaded giraffe to my head* I'd have to say some of my favourites include Bill Bryson, Kurt Vonnegut, Danny Wallace, Jamie Smart, Joe Sacco, Charlie Brooker, Thor Heyerdahl, Eric Schlosser, Hunter S Thompson, Richard Dawkins, Neil Gaiman, Alex Garland, Tom Wolfe, Naomi Klein, arrg so many books
something else that takes up vast amounts of my time is webcomics, some of my favourites would be sam and fuzzy, natalie dee, dresden codak, xkcd and the amazingness that is rice boy
*I would list the books, this is true, but before that I really would have to sit and ponder how the hell you had managed to load a giraffe
| | Heroes | I reckon 'hero' implies 'worship', no ta

About me:
Hi, my name is Shetland, you may recognise me from such drunken shambles as 'how many days has this been on my forehead?' and 'things you shouldn't do with absinth', this space is some kind of pinboard for my random drawings, deluded jam- and haddock-infested rants and such likes. If you'd like to obtain some ink that's had nasty things happen to it (being sucked up a nib and put on paper is only the start of its troubles) send me a message and I'll see what I can do.
Other news: If you too have orang-utang paralysing amounts of caffeine in your system, you can have a look at my shiny shiny website, which has a gallery of finished work and an art blog of work-in-progress stuff and sketchbook pages. Click the button!
If even that won't satisfy you, some older work is pinned up on my livejournal, including advice on how not to sever arteries while making lino prints, and the slightly sticky deviantart, which mostly involves finished work.

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet some aliens. or a talking wildebeest, that would be a change, I'd be walking down the street and somebody would go 'shetland!' and I'd look round and there'd be this rangy wildebeest askin me 'have you seen any waterin holes round here?', my first reaction would be 'why am I still not wearin trousers' but then I'd realise that this wildebeest must be a bit lost, I get hold of a map and point out his error, but then to console the kid we'd spend the afternoon drinkin some budget gin. now me, gin brings me out in a rash, but it gives wildebeest tremendous psychic powers, you haven't lived till you've seen a wildebeest spin the universe with its brain. dunno what that has to do with too much, but gilbert the wildebeest is back in Africa and I've got the rash and a dizzy hangover. so let that be a lesson to ye.
