(digital illustration) Weekend Worriors

Oh Wednesday, the longest time between weekend benders. Its enough time to remember or forget the prior belligerence however the case may be, while still giving enough time to make plans for this weekends fiasco.

This weekend binging is not for everyone you see, some prefer to spend their leisure time in the world of fantasy or imagination. In this first image I Fight Dragons In My Dreams represents those people. In actuality this image is based on a series of dreams I had where in I was either going off to fight a dragon, or had a pet dragon to do my bidding. Sadly the dragon never made an appearance in any of those dreams. The original drawing was made for my Coffee Cup Resurrection series but during the drawing process a drunk customer at the bar drew a pizza/surfboard where the dragons body would have gone.

Just because someone does enjoy a drink or two doesn't make them a bad person or an alcoholic. Even those who get drunk aren't that bad. Its those who over do it every time they go out that you need to watch out for.

The Frat life is an interesting way to spend your higher education. You live in a house filled with people studying all sorts of subjects at a variety of levels to help you along your way to a higher education. Higher might be the operative word because most Frat guys will tell you to put away the term paper and pick up the rolling papers. This image Her Name Is Brandon depicts a young Frat guy after a night of partying too hard. He has allowed himself, or perhaps by choice, to be dressed in a sequence dress, dolled up with pink passion lip stick, and adorned with a tinsel wig brought back from the 80's. His father would be proud.

You can't let all the bad eggs spoil the fun of binge drinking. Some people can slam them back, party all night, and still be coherent enough to go home with some girl. They say it's because that person has game or skill, I think its some sort of Jackie Chan drunk master type skills.

Although they may leave the bar together it doesn't necessarily mean nothing can go wrong from that point on. Cab rides don't agree with some drunk people. One, or both occupants may have to stop to throw up. Then again things may go perfectly right, you lucky dog you, but will you remember. This image What A Wonderful Wake up is an example of suck an occurrence. I remembered leaving the second party on the way to the third, that New Years, but nothing past then. I had opened my eyes and it took me a few moments to figure out where I was. It was the bedroom of a friend of mine, but I knew she was out of town. I changed my focus from where I was to what I was looking at. Once my eyes adjusted it was clear I was looking at a nipple having had slipped out of the arm hole of a twisted tank top. I looked to see to whom the nipple belonged. It was an other friend of mine. I went back to sleep.

So how will you spend your weekend?
