Mr B: 20 years & 364 days

It’s my beaus birthday today; going for a meal with him & some of his family. My throat feels raw, and right now i’m alternating between not being able to speak at all & sounding like an adolescent boy so trying to impress him fam & not seem nervous later should be fun.

Quick sketch for today. I was sad because i’m unhappy with work at the moment and on top of that i’m really ill and my face and back & ears hurt, and I have a blister. I’ve just had chips & curry & on my way to watch Star Wars: Return of the Jedi so i’m a bit more chipper :)

ride-the-vibes:

This is JASON FYLES and he goes to my university (Newcastle University, North East of England) He is 19 years old, 5’8, ginger hair and slim. He was last seen in the Sandyford area at 2:45am on Thursday morning and has not been seen since. He was wearing a blue shirt, grey cardigan, beige chinos and brown ankle boots. Everyone in uni is so worried about him along with his family and friends. We are coming together as a university to appeal for his safe return. It is thought that he lost his friends on the night out and tried to make his way back by himself. Please, I am begging for you to REBLOG THIS, even if you don’t live in Newcastle, or England. Every REBLOG means that someone else will see his face, they will know who we are looking for, and your followers could be the one to know his whereabouts. Stay safe Jason, we’re looking for you.
THIS WILL NOT RUIN YOUR BLOG!

Local news report

PLEASE. Nobody reblogged my own post on this which I posted an hour or so ago so I’m wondering if nobody will now. This guy is my friend. If I have ever sent you a nice ask or reblogged something of yours and it made you happy for a second (or even if I haven’t; this is about helping him, not doing me a favour) for God’s sake just help now, help to find my friend Jason. You want me to make him human to you?

Once we all grew beans in pots as part of a Biology experiment- the experiment failed miserably and made the whole lab stink, but his was the only bean that grew and he was actually pretty proud about it

He learned to knit as part of a school project where he had to learn a creative skill, and when a couple of people teased him about it he said “gender is a social construct” and carried on knitting like a badass

He loves the scene in The Great Gatsby where Gatsby throws all his silk shirts around and he and I used to giggle over it together

Once I asked him if he had a string of tinsel I could use in a photoshoot and he brought me a big cardboard box full of tinsel and fairy lights because he’s a helpful and lovely guy

He’s HUMAN and he needs our HELP and just PLEASE PLEASE FUCKING REBLOG THIS??? He’s been missing for four days now- when he went missing he would have been wearing his contact lenses and he won’t have had his (very thick) glasses with him so by now he’ll have had to take his contacts out and throw them away and he won’t be able to see well and oh God just please signal boost this

My dad’s friend has had a look at him (he breeds finches, he literally has hundreds) He says it’s healed fine, and if he has lost the use of his foot he will learn to get around; which he has already I just have to keep his nails clipped on the injured foot as they aren’t getting worn down with him not standing it anymore. He is very well looked after, if he was still at risk or in pain I would take him to the vet :)

I know, he’s so tiny compared to the other 2 that I have as well

Haha awww thats really sweet :) I have to bathe Toe & dry him myself because he won’t get in otherwise, it’s like he’s scared of water

It’s my day off from sales assitanting so managed to get on top of posting items, writing down orders, and also got a bit of drawing done for a custom order which made me especially happy.

My feathered grandson Toe joined me, but got the munk on & went to sit in his usual spot on the wardrobe. He’s had a poorly foot; he caught it while he was in his cage a few weeks ago which made a tiny cut & made his foot swell up to twice its size :/ I managed to keep it clean & stop it getting infected and it looks sort of normal now but unfortunately I think he’s lost the use of it completely. His toe’s seem kind of limp and all curled up and he doesn’t grasp things with it anymore. Other than that he’s healthy & managing to fly & hop around, still a bit of a bummer though :(

I shaded his face too dark, that’s how he ended up with the bright red tie to distract from his face a bit

I’ve had full time hours at work this week, so I haven’t drawn anything in daaaays. There has been a lot of running to the post office before work however, and i’ve lost count of how many Ignition totes i’ve printed so far.

Have a browse in my Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/gallonsofink

I’m still including an A6 print with all orders too!
