I don't really have a lot this week. I did finish the one of Accordion Bear being sad. I'm really really happy with it. I downloaded smoke brushes and I LOVE them! I really like the cigarette butts too :)
I wrote a little story to go with the image
Banjo Rat and Accordion Bear had been touring together for about a year. At first it was great, they were loved and their music was raved about in the press. Banjo Rat and Accordion Bear worked together on songs, wrote amazing music, jammed till three in the morning, it was all about creating. Banjo Rat loved it.
But Accordion Bear definitely had some baggage. He smoked constantly, would get drunk, hit on women, and eventually started to take Banjo Rat for granted. He would accuse him of not being dedicated to the music, or being too much of an uneducated redneck. Banjo Rat put up with this because it only happened every now and then. But it began to happen more and more frequently. Accordion Bear would get smashed and end passing out in the gutter. Banjo Rat took care of him when he got like this, but it didn't matter, it just kept happening more and more.
One day Banjo Rat finally gave up, after a particularly nasty fight they had. Banjo Rat left Accordion Bear and didn't look back. When Accordion Bear finally sobered up enough to realize that Banjo Rat was gone, he was devastated. He wallowed in self pity, hanging out at the back of a sleazy night club. Smoking constantly, making sad forlorn music, and just feeling like shit. He didn't know how long he would feel this bad...but he wanted it to stop. He realized that his music, his state of mind, his whole life was always better with Banjo Rat in it. He had to change. He had to change to keep his best friend, the only thing that really mattered, in his life.
Yep, he's a sleazy guy, but really has a heart of gold buried waaaaaay down there.
