Mid-week Update

As it stood on Tuesday when I posted my "whining" fit; things were looking a bit dreary. While I'm not completely out of the fog at the moment, things are looking a bit better. Some events that occurred between Tuesday, and today gave me a bit more juice to run on.

One thing that I can say has helped is that I've had the opportunity to start playing hockey again, not in ice form, but roller form. I prefer ice hockey, but the closest ice hockey arena is at least an hour away. I want to play on a regular basis, and roller hockey is just as good. I'm waiting with anticipation for my new helmet, gloves, and sticks to arrive.

All my old ice hockey equipment is likely dry-rotted by now, so I used that excuse to get some new things.

Anyway, a few days ago I bought a big sack of basmati rice to go with the roti flat-bread that I made, and I thought of a drawing idea. I'm cartoonist friends with Katie Rice, and I'm also a huge fan of her work so I thought, "What if Katie Rice had her own brand of rice?". This is the product of that thought:



As M.R. Darbyshire stated, "I hope this doesn't bring back repressed memories from her school days.". Hopefully she just likes it!

Fart-Butts Murphy

Boy, it's been a rough couple of days. I'd rather not go into details about it, so I won't, needless to say, I feel like a horse's patoot. I am just hoping for a good turn of events that will make me feel better about things.


Despite all this stress, and useless negativity, I've continued drawing things for the gift application and also managed to slap some of the better designs onto a few shirts in my store.





I also designed a logo for Off-Air with Roche and Whitney on DC101.com. A very amusing podcast starring two of the most colorful radio personalities around. Check it out! Unfortunately, I can't show you the logo yet because they haven't placed it on the main site, but it'll be there soon.

That is pretty much it for now, I think I'm going to go smash my head through some drywall.

Zazzle Store!

Hey guys, I finally did it. I opened my own merchandise store! If you're feeling the urge to buy some really weird, but funny shirts or items head over to my store!

My Store!

Facebook Fun!

Hey, so I discovered a way to create my own gift application on facebook. I know everyone hates these applications, but I figured I might be able to curb that hate with fun, and amusing drawings. So I did it. Success? Well that is yet to be seen.

So far I have eleven gifts that you can send out to everyone, I think you start out with like four or five unlocked. For every sent gift accepted you unlock a new gift from the gift box.

So if you have facebook check out the application, if you don't have facebook check it out anyway and make an account.

Colter's Box O' Gifts

Here is a sample of one of the eleven gifts you get to hand out to people:

Personal Cra... Stuff!

I'm going to use this post as a spot to continously place personal stuff, as opposed to adding a new post every time I do something new.

Confession

Alright everyone, it is time to fess up and admit something..................








I watch Hell's Kitchen. I don't watch much tv, and normally I despise reality tv shows but because I enjoy cooking, and I find it amusing when Chef Ramsey goes ape-shit, I watch the show. Last night was no exception, but I did try something new while I was watching. I drew caricatures of two of the contestants on the men's team that have a solid chance of being one of the two left at the end. It should be noted that I rarily ever do caricatures, it is uncharted territory for me so I find it challenging. But when you're trying to get better at drawing you always have to challenge yourself.

Giovanni


Robert


Giovanni from around the fourth episode, up until the middle of last nights suddenly had a case of flat-hair. Then suddenly after he got switched to the Girl's Team his hair sprang back up like it was in the first couple of episodes. Being around all of those women must have caused some kind of erectile reaction with his hair follicles. Next week maybe I'll draw him again, this time with his erect hair.

Robert on the other hand has always had spiky hair and it has never gone flat on him. Chef Ramsey likes to rib on this guy for being large, but he can cook his way around the kitchen. You'd expect him to know what tastes good; it is obvious that he likes to eat.

I look to see one of these men left standing at the end of the show against one of the ladies. We shall see!

Next week I'll attempt to caricature the women, and redo Giovanni with his rediscovered spiky hair.

You were retarded in my dream..

When I was little I went through a stage where I liked sleeping in my underwear, I use to wear white-tighties to be exact. Pretty embarassing stuff, but for some reason at the time it didn't strike me as rude, or bad manners to then wake up in my underwear and continue on through the morning eating breakfast, and watching cartoons before I actually put pants on.

One day, my sister told me she had a dream about me. In the dream, I was retarded and in my underwear. Everyone was gathered around me excited as I was attempting to write out my name. My sister said when I finally finished everyone had to make a fake big deal about it, and I only managed to write three letters, "Coo". I couldn't even hit all the letters in my name, I stopped at three and the third letter was wrong. Terrible.

After she had told me about the dream, I never walked around in my underwear again.

Why am I telling you this? Because my sister's birthday is March 9th, and I made her a card with that dream in mind. It has been an ongoing joke that we laugh about to this day.

Hope you like it.
