Hi matey

just swung by to say hi and check your stuff!!

all the best MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[Ghast]

Long time to no see dude. The tower painting is really interesting. Theres a narrative to it despite the simplicity based on its size. I actually didn't see the web at first. And as usual, I cannot help but laugh at the porn than randomly appears in between everything else...

[HarbingerofIllRepute]

The reason I called your work gold was not to brown-nose, but from what I've seen of your sketches, you're really just not afraid to draw subjects that most would shy away from.
I envy that a lot.
As always, keep up the good work!

[Joe777k7]

[kamikazel33t]

[qlotzan]

Where are you big guy, It's been a real long time you don't post any activity , hopefully you have good moment and healthy life.

[kamikazel33t]

You better have stopped posting because you were to busy becoming pro. Seriously man I miss seeing your posts around the forums!

[LtPlissken]

I'm here everyday, this place is like a shielded kevlar protected cradle of my mental and physical health,
a reasonable approach to this cruel material reality
just gathering the soul strength to post something useful and meaningful enough in the near future

At this moment I am not able to do anything creative or understandable.
Sorry, thank you my friends for being with me all the time, in
the hard periods of the misty sublimity and in a stormed weathers. I will be here pretty soon,
back again to show appreciation for all the things that you did for me.
Just human beings. We are all.

Hi Plissken, I may not have a lot of time right now to post or do art, but you're in my thoughts! Busy moving intoa new house with a .... *gasp* full size studio!

[Lightship69]

Hi matey

I clicked the thanks bit and it went haywire so i put it here instead, Glad you are well mate stay that way and post when you can.

all the best buddy.

[sin eater]

Been way too long man. Hope you are fine. See you soon!

[j-ace]

Loving the updates mate. Keep up the work and inspiration!

[Rostas]

LtPlissken , I am truly amazed by your adventureous crusade into the unknown depths of the unconscious creative mind. I raise you a glass , and some more and hope you do honor us with your presence even further down the road of life.

Great sketchbook , great people around and a great community . Cheers and here's a pair of boobs for your pleasure.

[Black Spot]

Since when did you have to post anything meaningful? You could imbibe a still life with meaning.

[blazingdimensions]

thanks man for dropping by my sketchbook, really ltPlissken that's the best advice i have ever gotten by the way i found a way to do mirror sketches in photoshop, by using actions, thats how i did those silhouettes.i will work hard and spend longer on studies, gotta keep pushing myself. love your work as always man , keep up the great work wise lieutenant.

[Spirit]

Even the most 'meaningless' artwork can hold meaning with somebody, it's lovely to see so many people really appreciate your work. Although there are times we feel we cannot create anything, you get past that and continue to create your art again when you're ready. Saying that, even reading your words, they can be an artwork on their own! I look forward to seeing your next update and am here hoping your creativity comes back to you soon

[BlackDelphin]

I hope you'll be back soon, posting your drawings.
I keep coming back and see no new post, the page is empty.

And here's a cute kitty to cheer you up ^_^

[Jay Dee]

I sense a change in the air and it shows in your art, post 2221 abandoned tower and your christmas card, classic plissken style yet keeping your goal of staying clean which is beautiful.
And that bell, just hillarious man I think only you could come up with crazy ideas like that. Your head studies starting back from page 45 if I remember correctly are brilliant aswell, just love your sketchy lines, the flow and the contours.

Its been too long, injuries come and go, some stay but you are master of your destiny and nothing will stop you from doing what you dream so dream it, and make it happen.

I know you will.

[LtPlissken]

Hello every 1. I think it’s time to report in again, after two months of absence. The reason of
this disappearance was cause of me being between two jobs. I was aiming to change my life to a better, was
going for a more reasonable monthly income. I had to switch towns and to rent an apartment. I
moved to a bigger city, I went broke, and failed in some kind of way. Overall when some changes
happen in my life, I go bananas and lose control over reality. That just proves how much of a weak
individual I am, not worthy for any battles or any useful actions in this stormy crowd. Just when you
think that you have the real and true warrior spirit, then there comes something that will make you
break like a worthless feeble straw. There are many failures in this life and there are many paths
that will lead your mind to a wrong state of hate. When you are not relaxed and when you are not
stress free than it’s so hard to draw. Art is not a labor work, it should be enjoyed, should be embraced,
as something high and something that is larger than life. Those who don’t understand this, are missing
the point of everything. Live poor or live rich, in the end we will meet at the same place. Our bodies
will disintegrate in the same passionate wormy humid way. I bounced back right where I was before.
Home sweet home, happy thoughts all around. Money is for fagots and fools. I like to live poor.
I should cut down the long story short, and maybe leave my philosophy for the more happier days.

All you friends and good people, who supports me and keep coming here, I want to give thanks
once again. I also want to use a nasty trick, and not reply individually as I used to do before.
If anyone of you disagree for not responding individually, please note me.
There is so much replies since I didn’t posted, it’s just amazing, it makes me feel overrated and
ungrateful again. Sorry everyone for me being such a waste of time. I really don’t have any qualities
that deserves any attention. All I bring is a crooked dirty dusty hat to the table. I want now to draw more
than I ever did before, I want to prove that I worth something, I visited some of your sketchbooks, and
I will try to keep up with the others. This community made me to evolve, as a human being and as an
artist. I am far from shiny, but with all your help I will become cleaner and better. So, no more text
and crazy monologues for now. This post is just a humble thing that will serve me to get back on track.
Will try to upload a few pages of sketches, and will continue drawing from this moment.

[ashess]

ah, how wrong you are my friend! you are not weak for falling down and despairing. that happens to all of us. (even lucky, pampered me!) But the strong, the true warrior artists just get back up again and start anew. and here you are, determined to be better and work harder then you ever did. how is that not true strength?
I really enjoyed yuor character faces, and the dog making advances at the woman made me laugh so hard!
I do not think what you brought to the table was sadly lacking in anyway. these drawings were done with love and care and skill! and it is obvioulsy quite a few hours right there.

and there you see, all you have to do is feel good about yourself, and I know the true walhalla is only one door away!
keep on making it happen! I'll be there to cheer you on!

[Joe777k7]

Yes you are back!!!! Im so happy to hear from you again!!! Im sorry about all crap that has been happening to you, life can really send you over the edge sometimes and even as your falling your realize you saw your girlfriend cheating on you on the way down then see your car explode then you land on a small cat and right before you take your last sight a school loan bill collectors says he is giving your debt to your children. BUt like ashess says if you can come back from all that you will be stronger and wiser in the end! What does not kill us, makes us stronger. "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. !!!!!! Cant wait to see more!!

life is a funny thing. it can lift you up high, and steadily push you up and up until you are ready to overflow with joy and happiness. and right then, at that moment when you are sure that you must be indestructible, your about to reach out to touch heaven, and then, for no apparent reason whatsoever, it will hurl you back down to the ground with a force that will drive you into the deepest pits of this world. when you are pushed down far enough the pressures that life can apply can make the strongest person on the planet feel smaller than a tiny insect. insignificant. its truly evil. i wont pretend to know what it is you are going through, or what you have had to feel and deal with, but i do know that i too have been crushed under life's weight before. for a long time. art is the only thing that kept me alive. thats truth. i am saying this to you, not to tell you that everything is going to be fine, and the worst is behind you, but to tell you that because you are back and doing something that you love again, you have proved that you wont lay down and admit defeat to this bitch. your still here, still breathing, your mind still works and your heart still beats on. so clear your mind, push negative thoughts and negative people away from you, and just do you. stay strong and stay positive.

you also said that you feel unworthy of all this praise you have been given in here, but hell no dude, you deserve every ounce of it. everytime i see my sketchbook bumped with your name next to it i always light up and get a huge smile on my face. haha i seriously love your posts in my sketchbook man. it truly brightens up my day, so hell yes dude you definately deserve to have that feeling returned to you. just as life can stomp you into the dirt, it can also be a truly beautiful thing. dont forget that.

this song came on the radio while i was writing this, and its just too perfect ha.

Ashess;
Those are strong and motivating words my friend, and you are right, I’ve decided to put even
more energy into drawing and art, we will conquer new fields, fields of sunshine, happiness and
glory. A sad day can turn to a gorgeous one, when I have good friends like you around me. Thank you.

Joe;
Hello, thank you for the kind words, yes life can be a real downfall from time to time, but don’t
worry it’s not all that bad. The biggest problem is to go without money and without any strong
material background, but that will not kill us, just as you said, it will make us stronger. There
are many people living poor, but they still don’t give up, they are fighting their fights, so should
we. I think that your art has blossomed big time lately, and I think that a bright future awaits us.
Be strong and stay cool, thank you for the motivational reply.

Nicky;
Hey there, thank you for visiting and for writing me, encouraging me and motivating me to
go further and to live my life with more understanding and tolerance. Things are not that bad,
being left without money is not the end of the world, many of them going through this day by
day, and they are still strong enough to do things that can makes this earth a better place.
Greed and false pride can drive us to the deepest abyss, into dark and gloomy sorrow pits.
I think that this community is great and it always gave me the will power and motivation to
go on, no matter what happened in my outside world. Thank you for being here and for
changing things to a better. I appreciate every word that you wrote, thank you.





So generally, being without money is not a big problem, not being able to pay your bills
is an everyday reality now, and can lead to a stressful way of existence, but it’s still not
a factor that should shut a human being down, it’s not a determining factor that should
keep you away from enjoying this life’s everyday treasures and pleasures. A positive
attitude and a healthy mindset, should make us go and feel better. Together we can
create and achieve something that seems unachievable at this moment.
All we need to do is stay together and draw till our hands go numb.
And then draw some more.

[Killasandra]
