omg I'm not sticking to my schedule

I've got so much stuff to do, such as sleeping, eating, drinking, then eating again and sleeping! That's why I often forget to post a comic. I think I can't stand this strict schedule anymore. So I will post every now and then. And I promise you that Nyashka will have an Orthodox week some time! Don't be mad at me!
The weird picture above describes a dream that I had tonight. I dreamed that I was getting my nipples pierced and the guy who was doing it had a collection of rare telephones. One of them combined a cellphone and a winery and looked somewhat like that. Probably I watched too much Futurama last night.
Also, yesterday I saw the band I usually refer to as 'my band' (i. e. ,waterfeel) from the audience and not from the stage. For the first time. The place was disgusting but the guys played well. And their new drummer is pretty good. Funny that he is an ENFP, too.

I found some ink at my place

Orthodox glamour


Do you want the next week to be an Orthodox comic week? :)

Perception tricks, Asja's version


I applied full makeup before going to the bank. Transforming into a Russian?!!
P. S. Isis disbanded

coughing


look up who is Keith Jarrett and why he hates coughing people
This is, unfortunately, the last comic for this week. I'm having a very long plane flight tonight and will be very tired tomorrow to post anything. But this flight has a positive side, too - I can draw for eight hours without being distracted by anything! And get breakfast without cooking it first!

Inspired by Royksopp

Sorry for the absence of comic yesterday. I went to NJ and didn't have my computer with me. I had to bring half of my stuff there because the stupid Lufthansa company doesn't allow me to pack more than 23 kg of baggage. The stuff that is staying in America includes two pairs of leather shoes. That means, I have only two pairs of shoes left, and I have nothing to wear with my awesome Tripp industrial pants. Dear Lufthansa, your regulations suck monkey balls!

Leaving Babylon


Russians also write the date differently. For example, today is 17.05.10. Not 5/17/10. :)

Something important

Attention everyone in Bard!
If anybody wants to buy some Nyashka stuff from me, you better do it now, because I'm leaving on Sunday night! You can contact me by phone or Facebook.

My favorite place in this college

...is where I sleep.
I fell in love with Nongenetic's voice! BREAKIN NECKS FROM HELL TO BREAKFAST

Synesthesia

...is when you taste colors and sort of see everything you touch. I experienced it only once in my life. And I was completely sober! Therefore, I hate all the people who try to talk me into doing drugs. Believe me, I know what you're talking about, and you don't have to think you've experienced more. It's more fun when your brain can do it by itself. Also, there are no bad trips. You only experience what you are ready to go through.

On the importance of proportions

Omg. I nearly forgot to post this comic. I'm so upset. Sometimes I don't understand myself. Is being upset fun or what? It isn't even mobilizing!

Moderator release

The Moderator, a campus magazine about nudity and sexuality, was officially released last Saturday. They published three of my photos and the cover was also of my authorship! I can't say that I'm perfectly content with everything concerning this magazine. But anyway, there are things to be proud of and also mistakes.
The Moderator came with a zine that had a couple of my comics in it. This is how they look in color:

 

I'm listening to a French band Kalisia covering How Could I - one of my favorite songs by Cynic, the founding fathers of technical death metal. The cover version sounds nice, but Kalisia didn't add anything new to the original version (a couple of guitar solo alterations doesn't count).

Kitty friend.

I like drawing black and white, so I'll continue doing it till I'm bored. Probably I'll get better in time. And it is a really good exercise for a person who doesn't know shit about lighting and shadows.
I don't have class today, and I'm writing an essay on Fredrik Thordendal. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about his personal life. I even don't know if he is married or not.
See you on Monday!

How to make postcards!

There are crazy cacti in my eyes on the first frame.
I'm trying something new in terms of drawing.
I wish it rained all day.

My favorite audience, my favorite instrument



Thanks for the idea, Bart!

A European glitch artist Hecq featured a rare hip-hop artist Nongenetic in one of his compositions (I Will Survive on the album Steeltongued). I liked the voice and the manner of speaking, so I looked up his name and found a project called Shadow Huntaz featuring him and four other guys. It's an abstract hip-hop band, the music is really interesting. And I'm happy to hear the familiar voice, but the lyrics at times can be just disgusting. So I have a rather controversial impression.

You're lucky if they're wearing shoes.


Yep, they stink. Che's girlfriend gave him a piece of soap instead of a greeting kiss when he came back.

I'm a bit down due to unsuccessful sales. Probably it's just not my field and I need to do something else. Like packing presents or programming (oh my god). Communication with real people in the real world just feels terrible.
I also want to go home and I'm happy that I'm going away in a couple of weeks. I miss my old friends and I miss the feeling that I belong somewhere. Everything else makes me angry and I even started to wear headphones around campus again.
This Saturday, I'm going to the Moderator presentation (it's a college magazine about nudity). Most of the photos in the Moderator are taken by me, and I want to walk around in my httpants, drink fake champagne and feel important. But I will also feel superlonely. What's the point?

NYASHKA ON ETSY!!!


I have an Etsy store now! It's gonna work for the rest of my time here, i. e. for 2 weeks. The Nyashka book is on sale for $8. There is also some other stuff that I made! Click here!

I wanted to do a whole guerrilla fighters week but it's kinda irrelevant after we're done with Che in my Strategies of Political Change class.
Also, I just realized that I had a report due on April 12, while I thought it was May 13. Thank God it's for my Jazz class, so it's nothing criminal...
