Gahhhh, so frustrated with myself.

Assignments not getting done, drawings looking like poo. Now I'm being counter intuitive by making a journal about this instead of actually doing things...


...I want to see Coraline already.

Hey, I finally uploaded my animation I made for art class this year. Basically in year 12 they let you spend the year making a 'major work' in which you have pretty much free reign to do whatever you like. So I made this animation with little to no input from my teacher who didn't really even have much evidence that it existed until she saw the finished product.

Actually, I had originally pitched a completely different cartoon about some half hearted political send up, but got bored and frustrated with that and made this instead without informing her of the change until I had done a good portion of this. I nervously showed the new thing to her and she said "This is different to the other one you showed me" and I said "Yeah" and she said "Okay". She didn't quite understand it since it was a bit incoherent when I showed it to her, but she left me to my own devices unconcerned.

But trust me, this was the right thing as this particular piece of work has been chosen to go in the Art Express Exhibition for 2009 in which all the best Year 12 art works in New South Wales, or something, get chosen to be in art galleries and stuff, it's exciting stuff! I mean just look at last years selections: www.insideartexpress.com.au/

But still, I think it's pretty neat that I could do incredibly well in art at school by making something so specifically just like something I would have otherwise made. Maybe that fascists dictatorial view I've always had on the way art in the school systems is wrong. I mean they really just let me do what I thought was fun and rewarded me for it despite me not going for the kind of 'deep' and 'meaningful' thing they usually eat up.

Okay so you can watch this cartoon here: kralex.deviantart.com/art/Meet…
Or at Newgrounds: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view…
And on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9qkeW…

Also, isn't Zazzle neat? www.zazzle.com/kralex

The answer is yes, yes it is.

It looks like the very awesome Tim Schafer's new game is having some publishing problems mixnmojo.com/php/news/showfile… As extremely poo as this is, it's probably punishment from some holy video game divinity for making it Xbox and Playstation 3 exclusive. I do hope all this crazy nonsense gets sorted out and you should too. Something like this happened with Psychonauts when Microsoft decided to drop it and that resulted in Psychonauts being released on almost all platforms so maybe... hmmm?

In other news, why can't knowledge just be an injection? All this "learning" and "memorising" is making my stomach turn faster than some kind of industrial strength fan. If anyone wants to give me billions and billions of dollars for free to have me set for life go right ahead, I won't mind! Oh yeah, I'm supposed to have this crazy animation for my art major work done quite soon, I should probably finish that. Here's 's FALSE thoughts on the subject: bluke4x4.deviantart.com/art/A-…

The story starts with Gerry Fielding's father being murdered on Christmas after consuming a delicious turkey. Gerry Fieldings's older brother was always a bit silly with the time travel books.. but when he builds an actual time travel machine, Gerry is fuckin' wigged out, yo? Gerry gains the ability to travel through time and vows to find his fathers killer but begins by using it to go back in time and prevent several disasters and tragedies from occuring as practice, this inadvertently alters his own timeline and everytime he stops something from happening more and more deformities begin to appear on him until by the end of the book his hands are basically globs of flesh that wobble around and he's unable to use the time travel device. He attempts to steal the time machine to do naughty things with, but his brother does not approve and catches him. This happens just as he arrives in the time period of his fathers death and had just tracked down the killer and he's stuck as a pulsating mound of flesh. Then, suddenly, Gerry from the future arrives, in the time machine, and tells Gerry to hop on. So begins a lovely adventure with Future Gerry and Gerry. He's discovered on the farm of the murderer of his father who uses his seemingly endless mounds of flesh as turkey meat substitute and ships them off to the store to be purchased by his past self and his father is still killed. They battle dinosaurs (modified accidentally in the timestream to look exactly like their brother), save the world on numerous occasions (from their brother from the future, who has turned evil due to losing his time machine at some point), and have shrimp cocktail with thousands of famous people from history, from Einstein to Galileo to Hitler, who they've all relocated to a special 'history base on the moon' where none of them can ever die. Unfortunately, due to this all of the world's history collapses on itself and Gerry and Future Gerry are caught up in the ultraretarded time-rift.. At this point it is revealed that Future Gerry is actually Gerry's brother in disguise, and he set up this whole silly thing on purpose to wig out Gerry. Gerry laughs it off and the universe implodes in on itself.

Yes.



Sorry for wasting your time.
