<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last night I was talking to a friend about nudity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You know a lot of people have nightmares about saying a speech in their underwear in front of the whole class, or going on a date with the head cheerleader and they stand up to go to the washroom and she's laughing at your weak, bottomless form.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But when you draw, write, <i>blog</i>, etc...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...there is a different kind of naked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A scarier one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We all get sad sometimes, mad sometimes, have embarrassing things happen, sometimes even when no one is around we still blush, and imagine if somebody found out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But a lot of my heroes, my favourite artists, guys like Seth, Chester Brown, Jeffrey Brown, Kevin Smith, Dallas Green...they don't just forget their pants on the way to the washroom while they're on their date with Cindy finally, or go to the auditorium to say their speech about lava flow and realize everyone can see their business...they show that business, at it's weakest, at it's coldest, at it's saddest...to the world...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...for a living.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I always wanted to be so naked, so okay with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But some nights, nights like tonight, I feel so down and even at 3 in the morning with nobody awake/walking by, I'll close my door, thinking someone will figure me out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Someone in my family is going to peak in and be like, "Dyl is sad, caught him!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I guess I'm working on taking my clothes off, my layers of protection off, so I can grow as a person and as an artist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a cartoonist, aspiring, failing or otherwise, you go "I hope this is funny" or "I hope this makes sense" or "this means a lot to me, but if no one likes it I'll just play it cool like whatever."...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...you fear putting some part where your character is rendered impotent one night with the hot girl because people might go, "Ha, bet that really happened to him.", or you fear putting some part that references Biker Mice From Mars because you think people are gonna go "WTF? Never heard of it."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...it hits you on all levels, all day, every day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You hear a good joke and you look around, see who else is laughing at something that might be racist or dumb or childish....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...but this little post is my first step towards laughing louder, being bolder...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...putting on a weak front, instead of a strong one, because sometimes, as strange as it sounds, that's the boldest person you can be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Oh, and the picture, it's a little artwork I did today for fun, for me, and took a photo of.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>When I was a kid I'd always love getting out Sharpies and without pencilling first drawing something up quick and then colouring it in just as fast with my Crayola marker 16-pack.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>So today, feeling nostalgic, I did just that, and then moments later, feeling <b>bold</b>, i posted it, not a masterpiece, just a good feeling.</i></span>dylanio21http://www.blogger.com/profile/13601626215230972257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609115819355526754.post-3624503626452985172014-08-06T04:03:00.001-07:002014-08-06T04:03:45.159-07:00Radio-Silent for 6 months then BLAM!---BlogSpot Exclusive!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I haven't posted on here in a very long time, so I thought I'd stalk some of the old blogs I follow, lots of great stuff to find on there that I've been missing, and also post something of my own that nobody (well, almost nobody) has seen.<br />
<br />
I'm jumping back for a bit to a more standard comic style in both inking & layout and this is a preview of the 4 page story for RZH (that's <i>Russian Zombie Hat</i> incase you've been living under a rock) Summer Fun 2014.<br />
<br />
If you want to see more pranks and if that little bully jerk gets what he deserves, look out for it online this month!<br />
<br />

Hard to believe that this was 2 years ago, made for this blog actually.<br />
At the time I was under the impression that at some point I was going to create some <i>wrestling epic</i>, as I look at the photo, watch last night's <b>Elimination Chamber PPV</b>, I think it may still happen...<br />
<br />
...maybe even on <i>this</i> blog.dylanio21http://www.blogger.com/profile/13601626215230972257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609115819355526754.post-11710052320861872692014-02-24T06:27:00.000-08:002014-02-24T06:27:06.818-08:00Dav Pilkey & 'The Past'<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some people dream of drawing Spider-Man or Batman when they grow-up, or when they "go pro".<br />
I dream of drawing the excting adventures of <i>Teen Boat</i> and<i> Captain Underpants</i>.<br />
They're such an important inspiration to me, I keep them beside my bed incase of <b>creative emergency</b>.<br />
<br />
One day I can only hope that the cast of Russian Zombie Hat ranks among the likes of these 2..<br />
<br />
I hope you liked reading this <i>short</i> blog as much as I liked writing it.<br />

I've been trying for days to get this blog to work correctly and so far, no luck.<br />
My only choice is to upload the images through URLs instead of the actual files, which sucks because that means ZERO <b>true</b> BlogSpot exclusives...total bummer.<br />
<br />
I do still like the idea of bringing back the old online journal, so here we go again! (again)<br />
