With Nova Scotia Power's rising rates; I need some kind of job that will pay the bills.
So applied to this video game company in Montreal.
From that I hope to save enough to buy land to start an off grid farm, either on the St. Lawrence in Quebec, or somewhere in the Maritimes on one of our mighty rivers.
Might start off grid farms in both; who knows,
This means I need a portfolio, proper to their company; which develops science fiction and medieval fantasy games; I sent them links to my regular art; but let them know I'd have a portfolio developed specifically for them within a couple weeks.
Since this is the sort of stuff I like drawing all day anyway; it sounded like a good idea to apply there; plus my muse found the posting, and I'm not going to argue with her on it.
In the last two days, just off the top of my head I drew these two fuckers; and have plenty more coming; each of these concept drawings will also require what is called a character sheet; which shows the unit from front, side, and three quarters view; generally speaking; and then breaks down any particular small details.
This guy is a Tank style Knight; with the idea he can block with his head as well as his forearm shield; and keep on trucking; no idea why there is a feather on the top; just felt right; he's a fancy fellow; and even while butchering his way through the enemy hoards, he likes to have a feather in his cap; to keep it classy; even if his cap is a giant steel bucket covered in ax and sword scars.
His forearm shield is both strong, and highly agile; also offering up offensive options; including large spiked knuckles. While his right shoulder pauldron with it's large array of spikes; gives him the opportunity to crash into opponents with a deadly running shoulder tackle attack.
This man is a metal bear covered in weaponry; because for terrifying bad guys, you need and even more terrifying good guy.

I might add links as I write this, I might not; what I hope is that the audience reading is intelligent enough to know how to Google basic search terms to find out if I am talking out my ass or not; sorry if you do not know how to do that, no insult intended; it's easy; just type the most simple words you can, and join them with plus signs.
Instead of searching "What is the meaning of life?"
Search "Meaning+Life".
Maybe add the question mark, if you feel fancy.
This blog entry is based entirely on my own study of history, archaeology, global geological events, aquaponics, dreams (Which lead to actual information in the real world.), ancient art and some random dumb luck in stumbling across historical facts in the real world.
It mirrors a lot of what Graham Hancock has to say in his new book; I was not aware of his work when I put together my own narrative on 'how it was'; I've been working on a comic book about this; but have put off progress on it for the last three or four years, because I was lacking some information I am now aware of; and didn't want to just fill in blank gaps, despite it simply being a comic book.
I've contacted Mr. Hancock via Facebook, well before his newest book was released, and confirmed that he has also found the same findings; on his own; which gives a heavy nature to this information, and thus why I bother to write a blog about it in the first place.
Now, on to the madness.,,
The Madness:
This topic is so unwieldy I'm not even really sure where to start... Or how... So I'm just going to plow into this sonofabitch full on...
My friend Janie asked years ago for a drawing of a Tibetan style Buddha; which is to say "Skinny, fit Buddha"...
A deceptively complex task.
The facial expression is subtle, but conveys a ton of information about the Buddha's state of mind; a contentment at a journey well had; and while obsessively trying to nail this expression with pencil and paper over a series of days, it became obvious there was a certain flow to the line work of the face itself; specifically the way the ear lobe curls around and connects to the cheek bone line in a fanciful continuous circuit.
Buddha Drawing
Skip to about four years later; Janie then asks for a drawing of the Easter Island heads; stylized; and so the infuriatingly deceptively complex task began again (I enjoyed it, trust me.); with the same subtle facial expression style being found in the statues, expressing a joy and looking out at the next destination, a confidence in their ability and capacity to navigate this seemingly infinite ocean; and the capacity to build these statues, as a marker for their having been there; and as a guide for those who would come later and understood the language of the heads.
While obsessing over facial expressions of the statues, it became obvious, again, that the ear lobe line curled around and connected to the cheek bone line.
The Easter Island Heads.
This link was discovered a few months after I became aware of what is known as the Bloody Creek Structure; found in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.
I was walking to town on a forest trail; when a man stopped to have a conversation; we got on the topic of the Clovis people, who suddenly vanished mysteriously around 10-15,000 years ago; and who had roamed about North America, living quite well.
He then told me in response to this; that near by (I never got out to it personally, as it was an enormously long walk; and I used to walk 40+ kilometers out there to get groceries... And I never got around to asking any friends with cars... But I've seen it on Google Earth and it's easy to find and read about.); was a crater in Bloody Creek (So named because of the enormous amount of blood shed there between English and French military forces.); which was so large no one had noticed it until the 1980s or so; during a fly over of the area.
Upon closer inspection this crater was clearly made by an enormous impact; so devastating that it may have caused the North American mass extinction event of 10-15,000 years ago, which wiped out the Clovis, Woolly Mammoths, and other now extinct large animals of the area and time; and triggered a mini ice age; which lead to the now Native First Nations people crossing the ice bridge over the Bering Strait.
Now, this is where things get crazy...
So all this happened 10-15,000 years ago; if you look up maps and what not, you will see the sea levels were all at weird other levels; and even shifted since then dramatically, and were dramatically different before then even.
I have found fish fossils in rock, hundreds of feet above sea level in Nova Scotia; at the top of North Mountain in the Annapolis Valley. I don't know when they got there; or how; but it's weird.
Back on track here...
So if we take today's world as an example, we see the most high tech cities are all along the coast line. The internet's main spine for example, is in New York City; if this were to get wiped out by a large scale even, Iowa most likely wouldn't have the people required to rebuild the internet... No offense Iowa...
If the ancient world was similar, Egypt would have been a back water rural area a bit back from the ocean shore itself; not landlocked, but not nearly as sea coast as it is now.
When this rock hit Earth at the 10-15,000 year ago mark, I believe it threw the Earths water table out of whack, and unleashed much chaos.
Christopher Jordan has done extensive study and research into the idea that the Pyramids and other ancient 'temples' were actually air/water pressure powered fountain pumps; and that the cascading water created a mist effect, to perpetuate a green house environment for the abundant growth of food; he figures "something" happened to shift the water table, so that these "temples" no longer pumped water up; because of the displacement.
I posit that this event was the Bloody Creek Structure's birth.
Once it collided with Earth, not only did it shift the water table to cause the pumps to malfunction, but also threw up enormous amounts of dust into the atmosphere, causing a global famine of incredible proportions.
The global civilization literally collapsed into itself from this event.
The impact of the rock with Earth, in my completely inexpert opinion, ran humanities collective bell (And probably literally rang anyone who was left's bell.); to the point that we forgot where we came from; and ended up wandering around a post apocalyptic landscape for the next 10-15,000 years, and only in the last 5,000 years or so have we been reorganizing back into a global civilization, slowly but surely. Our modern religions are attempts to understand what happened; turning the fertility cults of the ancient world, into the Devil's work; and the Angry Sky God with a Vengeance is always watching, waiting to send a fire hell storm to destroy everyone, yet again, at any moment's notice.
There are organic global civilizations, and imposed global civilizations, but that is a whole other blog post of thoughts.
One night, I had a dream about being in the Phoenician Royal Court; I wasn't anyone important, I was just there hanging out for some reason; everyone was white; and the guy in charge... King... Emperor... Guy with the biggest hat... Was going on about how annoying it was that we couldn't settle down, without the uncivilized constantly trying to wreck our shit; so we had to move again.
I thought it was a dream about how bothersome neighbours are; but I looked up some information and found that the Phoenicians may have in fact been white.
On a sort of related note: Egypt was multiracial; in my opinion a sort of collective effort to combine the best of all cultures into one super culture.
So someone's been chasing someone around a lot to start with; which would have seen the global circumnavigation of the globe many times over.
On top of that, Göbekli Tepe; in Turkey; has a freaky lizard carved into a post; that can also be found in South America and Asia. Graham Hancock really loves this part in particular; I have borrowed this image from his site which can be found here.
"But who the Hell was it?", you might ask.
It was very ancient humans.
These were master sailors, master builders, master craftsmen and artists; they were also high as fuck and tripping balls the entire way.
When they set out initially it was to discover, as they went they built; and now we have the pyramids and other ancient ruins of theirs scattered about the planet, documenting their travels and thoughts.
These were humans that could set sail out in a hand made catamaran boat, traverse the ocean by Sun, moon and stars, and more than likely by smell and sense of the wind and currents themselves, not to mention the watching of wildlife; and would not need to pack an ax, or a shovel, or extra food, or water; these were people who could find the fresh water springs in the ocean (Look it up.); who could reliably catch food as they needed to; who could make any of their required tools, as they were required.
The harnessing of guns can be the difference between an entire civilization prospering and expanding, or being swept away. You can stay alive another day through the correct application of your gun, or blow your foot off by accident by being dumb with it and not paying attention to what you are doing.
Never point the gun at anything you do not intend to hit with a round. Your focus, control, and capabilities are your direct responsibility; no one and nothing else can be blamed for a round going where you pointed your gun.
Allow only trusted, responsible, capable people handle your gun. Never let just anyone play with you gun, for they will inevitably blow you away, prolly by accident.
There are times when the gun is out, and times when the gun is put away. To leave a gun laying around is going to lead to a random person picking up the gun and doing something stupid with it.
Some people HATE guns, for no other reason then the choice of application some humans have used them for. Guns don't kill people; people that go ape shit kill people, and professional soldiers, mercenaries, police, prolly the Pope if he had the chance (Actually the current Pope was a member of the Hitler Youth, so he more then likely has...), anyone defending their house, home, or nation, and a wide variety of people, such as myself; who enjoy target shooting for the skill based aspects of it.
To quote Agent Cooper regarding golf: "I enjoy it's precision."
Keeping your gun clean and well maintained will not only improve it's performance and capacity for inflicting maximum round output, but also keep it from exploding in your hands while you unload down range.
Know your gun inside out at that, know the pressure of the trigger, the pull of the overall weapon, which way is the most comfortable to place everything, which position is best for you to fire from (My preference is a cross legged sitting position, using my left arm to keep tension across my knees, with the rifle balanced in the left hand shooting right, it takes some practice to get used to, but essentially makes your body a mobile shooting rest for superior accuracy.), how long it takes you to reload, what noises it makes, what mechanisms are at work within it, and so forth.
