In Which I talk about city streets and how details matter

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post!! How are you? How have you been, in this mid-week? Hope you are well, I do wish you the best! I was desiring to write something on the blog sooner, but I either lacked the motivation, or lacked idea on what exactly to write, or both, and unfortunately, usually both. My mind has been on a burning out alert for some weeks now, and every move I make I dread causing me to snap, I would fall on the floor and weep until I could no more. The summer heat does not help, even if this summer in the grand scheme of things is not really that abrasive. Statistics are useful, but daily life can amplify one's situation. It is summer, and it sucks, no matter if the weather is slightly less hot than some years ago... I will talk more about heat as follows, because thanks to a book I am reading, I have even more reasons to do so! Let us jump to it shall we? Now, of course I may change my mind, because that is how a chaotic mind with OCD goes, wh...

Sketch of the week! In which we meet Pierre Shelton!

Hello everyone!! Happy Wednesday/Thursday to you!! Wish you a good night and hope you had a good day! It's quite late for a post right? I usually write earlier, but anyway, here I am, and so glad to be here! And how are you? How are things going? I do wish things were great today, as I already told you guys, I'm afraid I repeat myself sometimes while writing, that's something I usually do, but also, I do wish you good!
My day was calm and I managed to watch The Voice, which is my favorite show, and today I saw some amazing performances and also got to see my Uncle Blakie and Uncle Adam, so that's great! (they're not really my uncles, just to let this clear). College was tiring but fine, I think I had a productive day, so that's good! Just one day at a time, one hour at a time, I think I might have some good moments and I always try to be ready for them, so that's something. And now, enough with the small talk, let's have our sketch of the week! Meet Pierre Shelton!


Born out of nowhere in the late weeks of September, he was part of an experimentation series I'm doing because of Halloween season! He has strong eyebags, his skin is scared pale and his nose is red, the shadings got more proeminent and the characters are always scared by something, or maybe they're scared by nature, this is definitely the case with Pierre.
This shy fan of Country music and nice clothes, with his blue hair, is never sure on what say to people, he feels he always says the wrong thing, so he's always with his nervous expression on. Despite living the urban life, Country music is his refuge, and he's constantly listening to his idols, such as Tammy Wynette, Linda Ronstadt, Hank Williams, and, of course, Blake Shelton. Country gives him the courage he needs to just get up his bed and live on with his day. That's our boy today, Pierre Shelton!
Most of my sketches are born nameless and with no character in mind, and I just slowly go assemble them, trying to give them a nice story and a soul. A friend helped me with his name, he said he looked like a Pierre. I knew he was shy though, when he appeared in front of me, so I wanted to make a pun with the word "shy". Nothing came to my mind, until I realize Shelton would be a nice addiction to his name. Here we have it, Pierre Shelton! I'm so happy to have people that gives me this suggestions too, I do like my friends and the people I talk to, they're really nice!
So, Pierre is what we have for today, in this very late post! If you're here, reading this, you're the very best, and I'm so grateful for your presence! Wish you a great night indeed, and see you on the next post, hopefully!
