In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they? I say this as a person that lo...

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!
