Glipho photo writing challenge #2: Write 500 words

I've never written as part of a challenge before but the photo that was to be used as inspiration for a 500 word story... Well, it inspired me.

You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. You'll never find the body. 

Morbid, I know, but it was meant to have a dark theme and I couldn't imagine a darker theme than a kidnapping/murder coupled with a taunting message.

30 Day Drawing Challenge

I tried getting back into drawing a while back with little success. It's much easier to edit a photo on my iPhone with a couple of well chosen apps than to put pencil to paper these days. However, chatting to a friend on Twitter, she suggested the 30 Day Drawing Challenge.




Brilliant! Just what I was looking for to kick my arse into gear. I'll be posting the fruits of my labours here, a few at a time. If you're on twitter, search the hashtag #TDDC for daily drawings. Or even join in.

Scribble, scribble, scribble, etc.

That's the way to do it!

In my last post, I spoke about joining deviantART and how I was going to get started. Well, well, well, imagine my surprise when I discovered photos taken from the Playstation game, Gran Turismo.




I've been taking pics using the in-game photo mode for ages but didn't really have any use for them. Now I can upload them and have other like minded people take pleasure (if you can call it that) from my efforts. Result!

Getting stARTed

When I was younger I used to enjoy drawing. I would create little worlds and populate them with my own characters, having adventures in rocket ships or leaping tall buildings, superhero style. For me, it was always about the possibilities of the future and what may be. I still like to dream but I haven't put pencil to paper for such a long time, until recently, when I found myself doodling on the back of a printer test sheet.

So, I've decided to start again. Only this time I'll be posting my art online, something I wasn't able to do umpteen years ago. I found a site I'm happy with called deviantART and I've made a profile, etc, but what comes next? Do I post my doodle? Before getting ahead of myself I think I'll put up some photos I've been playing with on my iPhone. There are some pretty cool apps to make a photo look like a sketch and that's what I've been using to create some superhero-ish characters.

So, if you're interested, have a peek and see what you think. There's a link on my Home page, in the Here I Am section. All comments are welcome.

Investigating instagram

So, you've just found instagram and you're looking for someone interesting to follow. Well, I'm not one to blow my own trumpet (I play a different instrument) but you could do a lot worse than to choose me.







True, there are far better photographers out there with high quality cameras and the like but there are also some really awful users who post blurry, uninspired photos (mostly of themselves, it had to be said).







Each and every photo I upload has been thought about carefully. If a photo needs editing for clarity or effect then I take the time to do it to the best of my ability (and equipment, budget permitting).







Anyway, enough trumpet blowing. I've added some examples of my work to give you a taste. Come and join me if you like what you see. You can find me as @myth337
