Holy smokes!

This tuesday was strange to sit on my computer at 9pm and suddenly all electricity was turnt off. Running in the house floor i´ve seen the blue kittled man from the electricity services disappearing in a haste so nobody could have ever asked him with puppy eyes"what´s up?". A call made on the city electrity services told me - - -

I HAVE TO SELL SOME STUFF!!

So i sorted some things out and i don´t feel lightly like getting rid of them - these are my pearls - i wanted them to maybe finance a new kitchen or a new toothbrush in gold but well -crap, that´s life...

Take a look and maybe you wanna have a fancy art gift for your mother >>>> www.donaldhelloart.bigcartel.com
(all prices are just set up but not engraved in stone - sure there´s some handling possible - just contact me! you can also pick out another one out of my gallery and ask what it may cost)

A nice remaining weekend to you all!

Hey gals & guys,

Long time no update on my journal - here you go:

Well, in the last time it´s been much daunting due my writing on my final theories for artschool and having not much jobs to have me in a drill to do much - well, i got no fond memories what exactly i have done - memory is like a huge steaming dish of mashed potatoes.

Many of you may wonder what´s up with their bought Donald & Simon books and commissions and i have to say i had only time to make 10 since ... uhm ... JUNE! fuck! I´m so sorry! But i have smithened a plan to exaggerate the process on these and every painted little picture will be turned into a sweet black & white ink drawing (of your wish(ed)) and you´ll get a fancy painted unique D&S sketch card along the package. The painted 8x5 inches commissions sounded good and doable at first time but it drains my life force just too much and does steal useful time. Though i´m gonna include 1 color here and there to brighten things up - i try to make the haul ready to ship in the coming weeks and you all get a notice mail when i have put them in mail.
please understand. Hoping here that all customers will be happy by mid march.
I´m working me down the list as we speak.

Still there are some available...they will be shortly up for sale when i got the others done ----> clicky on the RSS feed to subscribe [link]

Other notes: I won ´s MUCH JAM! woohey!

visit for more funny weekly games in the artful playground to kill some time.

knock a watch on our fancy club that is for our soon coming comic magazine (with the "we" & "our" i refer to the other contributors as well including me - ahem)

Anything else?

Hmmm, No...or?
Greets,
Ralph

40.000 pageviews! Hui! any moment! wow!
nearly 1000 watchers! hello you all!

here a little list of things to come:

NOBLE CAUSES #39 with 12 pages inks and color from me - could happen that you might see it this very year or early january 2009.

POPGUN vol. 3 with an 8 page story by Olaf Brill and art from me (and 14 pages colors on a story from D.McMulloch and Peter Krause) suggested for somewhen february 2009.

"Tales of Woe" from MTV books coming in spring 2009 with 3 illustrations.

Ian Brill, editor from BOOM!studios has shoven over a story for me for the "ZombieTales" monthly anthology. 8 pages zombie funtimes, yay.

"Pirate" is an anthology by Nikolas Spionek, where i have 10 pages still to make and this should be out for my polish friends in early 2009, too.

There´s a lot of stuff i´ll don´t write about here, cause i´ve just don´t know about anymore BUT hey,hey, i´ve heard Quasi Mortals will become a feature in an anthology/magazin project that will have hand and feet and is soon tba!

Also helping out on colours for Mark Smith´s "Archaeological Society of New Brighton" - and being not a big help on that so far - oops...

next year i´m going to concentrate more on my stuff and you´ll get a more artsy fartsy Ralph/Bruno/Donald again, where i´m sure most people of you are wanting that more and so do i!
I´m a fast artist, but not really a man for deadlines...

seen this? [link] well, i offer 3 slots for commissioning me YOUR character (or one of mine ) as a minimate for the very price of 20,- $ + shipping (hm, dunno how much that is), but the lil fella will come in an individual painted and selfbuilded windowbox (so it´s 2 commissions in one )

1st Slot - Mr. Granny Smith
2nd Slot - Railey Otter
3rd Slot - Captain Mega

secret Slot 1 - Yaksquatch
secret slot 2 - Ace & Yuri

let it be a good one!
i´m a paypal. just comment here!

drawing commissions can be asked - and you can deal with me arround! just ask! characters w/background [link] - black&white (like this [link] colored (in the rear of this [link] or even painted stuff! [link] note me!

WHAT`S THIS???
I`VE WON!!! YUHEEE!!! [link] [link] [link] check it out!!!
Well, it´s not my real entry which gained the highscore, but the sidejoke one titled "RACECAR VAMPI" i made up in 5 minutes! haha, oh dude!

OOH! and so many dudes checked through the PR-site my DA account that we actually slipped through the "who gets the 33.333 pageview" secret contest! haha, phew! no free comission this time! but maybe a 888th watcher?

!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS FOR ALL THE/YOUR KIND COMMENTS !!!!!!!!!!

the fugg is: DA is the only site that doesn´t load on my computer, so i´ll hope to erase that problem in the somewhens... but it saves me also a bit more time for doing more projects in not looking here every 5 minutes    
(it looks like confusing word-document and i can´t upload!)

like a project with these nice folks! (tba)

the first take came through wanting a free sketch by

this is how it goes ...

The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free. However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment... You still qualify.

01 - I won't draw your request until I see this in your journal
02 - In your comment, include a link to a reference picture of the character you want me to draw or write me a description
03 - Only one character per person - remember, this is FREE

1. Milano Streetart Bunny w/ gasmask
2. Ace in a Hotrod
3. sniperwolf of MGS
4.
5. a MOON DEMON
6. a Netizen
7. something out of the PERRYVERSE
8. Super sans Culotte
9.   RYN
10. KYO
