Well, no one says "you" anywhere around here. It's all "ya". Proximity to Canada would be my best guess.

If it matters at all, I fuckin' love seeing your drawings and comics and I want to take in as many as you can possibly post up here. Hell, even if you've gotta force yourself it'll be more than worth it. Besides, not drawing is both a cause and effect of depression. For me it just goes around and around in a horrific circle - if I'm not working on anything I'm drinking and then I end up doing even more drinking because I'm pissed off about not making any art. Fuck that shit.

Anyway, if that's out of line or inapplicable just ignore it. That's just what always happens to me.

before i did outlet...i exercised my line muscles on the couch of the 1st page. to make your stuff confident you gotta fuck up a billion times...that way no matter what you make, it still looks good. Confidence comes with the feeling of what you're doing feels right and not that it looks good. Hope that makes sense to you.

Depends.. I live in a place where we say "youse" ironically, so it manages to slip in for real on occasion. I think "Y'all" may be more prevalent though.

In the South, all we got are "y'alls". As in "Can I git y'all some mo sweet tea, baby?"

And friend, you gotta quit worrying so much about the small fuck ups that inevitably come with drawing. All those little things will keep you from drawing at all. Try and remember how fun it was to draw when you where a kid and were not objective about what the end result was. Remember how just making stuff on paper gave you a strange floating feeling in your head. Remember when every kid you knew drew something almost every day and never worried about the quality of what they made. That's how drawing is supposed to be. It's hard to get back to that beautiful, primitive state and the only path there is to draw and draw and draw some more and not worry so much about whether it's good or not. This is a lesson I learned in the last year and, shit, I made more stuff this year than in the 10 previous glued together. Not all of it was very good, but each bit helped get me somewhere, even if it's not yet where I want to be. So yeah, goddamn, fuck this pep talk shit and get out there and kick some fuckin' ass. For reals.

Around here it's "yinz." "Can I get yinz guys some more I-errrrns and anudder plate o' perewgies?"

I know how you feel, and honestly, you draw more than I do so if it might brighten your day, you can come and laugh derisively at my meager collection anytime.

P.S. 2012 will be the ultimate eraser you dream of.
