Description

As I already mentioned in yesterday's journal-entry, here's the remains of a horse thorough beaten into a better piece of art! Since all the horse-related word-play, that usually goes along with this format, has already been made in the previous, extensive posts, here's just a bit of background information on this wonderful piece! This drawing is a reworking of an old childhood drawing of mine and the original can also be found my last journal-entry. Back in elementary and early middle-school I used to receive these small, red notebooks from my parents, since we were required by the teachers, to have something of that sort, to write our homework down in. Judging by the contents of these notebooks, my homework back then must have consisted of things relating to badly drawn anthro-frogs battling weird monstrosities alarmingly often...! Well, maybe that explains how I ended up where I am now. I mean, I didn't do that bad - well enough to make it to college at least... and to amass 10.000 page views here on Deviantart! Yep, this is supposed to be a 10k views special... kind of  

By the way, I found another drawing of the chicken-thing in the back of the note-book, informing me, that back then I called it 'Gesitertsar' ( German for 'Tsar of Ghosts' ), but after a friend pointed out it's chicken-like physique, I guess it's more of a Poultry-Geist...

I love the fact that you also had to have little notebooks to write homework down I used to have a whole stacks of notebooks of different sizes covered with drawings and sketches, plus all my school notebooks were full of drawings Once I even got an admonition about my notebooks, saying that they have more illustrations than written text Oh nostalgia...Unfortunately I am left with only four notebooks, my mom threw out the rest years ago.
Oh such nostalgia. I am looking forward to see more of your past sketches and doodles, I do find them fascinating as a mirror into the past of Holder539

Back then we were actually required by the teacher to have those, but mine also featured much more drawings than actual homework xD I actually got shit from teachers for drawing in my homework-notebook a few times, so after a while I started bringing two identical notebooks with 'homework' being written on both of them, but one being reserved for drawing While I don't have any certain plans yet, to re-draw more of my super old stuff, I was thinking about integrating the frog-character into the comic, so who knows, maybe I'll bring over more of the old stuff

Oh yes, so many notebooks, some for drawing and some mixed Too bad that I lost so many of mine, or my mother threw them out with the paper for recycling
Oh well, I am definately looking forward to your redraws Sorry for not being so active it was a very busy and challenging summer

Oh man, that's a shame - well at least you still have enough of your old stuff to also do a re-draw from time to time I recently learned that my mom threw away all my old VHS tapes after I moved out... xD I don't even own a VHS player anymore, but it's still a shame^^
And no problem xD Funny you say that, because I took a summer-break from all social of like three month myself, because writing my bachelor-thesis literally consumed the last shreds of my sanity, so you didn't miss much on here while you were gone at least as far as my work is concerned  Nice  to see you come back just as I do though

Oh fuck, that is really a shame. I have now for some time planned on digitalizing my old VHS tapes, some old cartoons, movies with now nonexistent commercials (because I recorded it from TV), home movies and such. But I still did  get around to doing it and sadly, the VHS do have an expiration date so, tick tock..
Understandable, I do also have lot of things to write and especially searching the archives is time consuming and psychologicaly taxing

Well then I wish you all the best with that project Converting VHS into digital files - now that's true Sci-Fi technology to me! And also good luck with whatever you have to write 'Archives ' just sounds more vast and confusing then 'library' already and I almost got lost in the university-library on several occasions. I wonder how many skeletons of unlucky students are still waiting to be discovered in the labyrinth that is the 'literary studies' section of that accursed building xD
