Christmas At The Lobby

Hey! Glad you could make it! (whoever you are?) ...Gosh, this is exciting, isn't it?
Just to let you know, I haven't really ever invited anyone else to come and see my blog, personally that is, besides a couple of my close friends, so this is definitely a new venture for me.  It's kind of like my first exterior viewing of my blog in a sense, and it truly is this great and wondrous feeling.
Everything feels so peachy for me now; just rate fine and dandy, you know what I mean?

It's been a busy past two weeks, but it looks like I've finally made it here!  This is my first time having my art on display, ever, so if I seem a little nervous, that's because I probably am!  I may not look it, seemingly calm and collected as I am, but I'm probably screaming inside!
     "Oh-gosh, oh-my-gosh! What am I doing here? ....And with all these people?! Why did I ever think that this would be a good idea? Why did I bother coming...?"
     Ha-ha, yeah, that sort of thing.  But, don't get me wrong!  Maybe I won't get that way, but just to worn you, I have been known to do that in the past, so be gentle, okay?!


I am apologizing to you in advance about the little amount of stuff I brought here tonight.  I could have arranged to gather some more, but with such short notice... eh, I couldn't be bothered.  "This is all you get!"
It's kind of funny, actually.  I just reminded myself there of that one famous moment in 'Oliver Twist' when the little boy is like "please sir, can I have some more?" and the older man at the cauldron is like "More? You say you want more?!"  I feel bad now. You're still enjoying this though, right?

For all of my school friends and others who have been to my site before, you may have noticed somewhat of a change in the overall structure of my blog from the last time you visited.  I decided to form a list of the more noticeable ones in this post, just so that you have a general idea about what's going on, and so that you don't get lost in all of its "newness."

List of Changes:

• Added a "Labels Display" blogger gadget to the side bar. 
• Minor changes to my profile information. 
• Swapped profile pictures. 

Here is the imaged I used as my old Profile Picture. Would you believe me if I told you That I had drawn this?  This was actually from around two years ago, back when I was in grade 9.  That was back before I even knew about copic markers or inking pens and I think that this was probably done using a simple package of fine-tipped markers from Steadler and just your regular a black ballpoint pen.  I surprised myself when I looked at the date that was marked on this one.  It said that it was from March 31st of 2010, and that's just the date the printer placed on it after it was scanned.  I don't think that I could draw an eye that looked quite as well if I tried here today.  I'm a little bit out of practice in drawing eyes with such detail in this way, and I can remember watching a lot of YouTube videos while doing studying this particular kind of art style in order to own my skills.  Long-story-short, I made this, yet, I don't know how?!

Hmm... It seem to me that there was one other little change. Now, what was that?  O-Oh, yeah...

• I RENAMED MY WEB-LOG!!!!!

For all of you newcomers and soon-to-be fans, the title of my blog (that's short for 'web-log') prior to now was just the name of my comic project I am currently piecing together, called "Knight's of Mamus'sa" (Pronounced: MAH-moos-sah.) Yes, yes, I know that's a tongue twister, but it is very original, and as far as I know, nobody anywhere is using that name.
{unless you consider that little Turkish town of 'Mamusa' in the rural parts of the Kosovo, and I don't think that the town of 5,513 people care to much.  Trust me on this, okay?  I even Wikipedia'ed it and everything!} Hahaha!

But seriously, 'Lonely Totem Pole', so much of a better name!  Plus, it's way easier to pronounce.
Pronunciation wasn't the only factor that lead me into deciding this, it also has more of a symbolic meaning to me as well.  It suits my website for its purpose more so than having my comic's title there.  Originally, I was only going to post things pertaining to 'Knights of Mamus'sa' on here, but then as time past I found that to only be a slender portion to the entire make-up of my blog.  There are so many different sections of my blog devoted to almost everything I do, so it just didn't seem as 'fitting' anymore.
(I also hear that it is a good idea to have a single pictorial representation of your enterprise, from a selling point of view, because it makes your products more commercially viable...)  I'm rambling on again, aren't I?

On another note...  

This little strip of paper is probably what most of you are holding in your hands rate now.  (and if you  don't have one then grab one now!) It's your personal invitation to my blog!  The address and everything is rate on there, so as long as you have a working computer, connection to the internet, and hands, then getting onto my blog should be a cinch!  (no excuses people!)  



My mother was generous enough to let me use her computer in displaying my blog here tonight.  So, if you don't mind, please stay within the bounds of my 'Lonely Totem Pole' blog and its pages here tonight.
"Don't go bustin' up me mum's PC, ya hear?!"

Also, feel free to check out the rest of my pages on my blog (just don't go hogging my mother's computer!)
To get started with your journey of touring 'Lonely Totem Pole', just click on the little collection of Labels in various sizes that I posted to the right.

*If you have any questions about my artwork, blog, or other things, I shouldn't be all that far away.  Finding me in crowd of people can sometimes be a bit challenging, as my mother can tell you, but keep an eye out for the one that looks like he's trying to hide, and the one who resembles the little character I use as my profile picture at the top of this page, chances are, it's me.
