I couldnt get out of bed today.....dont ask me why but it took me about 4 hours from waking up to actually clamber out of bed. This reminded me of james bond's frequent predicament....(no not being in bed with a sexy woman. sadly) being trapped on a laser bed. Inspirational times!

Hi Guys and Gals....Thats if theres anybody actually reading this. Personal info time. I actually suffer from a skin condition called psoriasis. its not 2 bad but since xmas i kinda flaired up...(and even made its way into a few lil stories tho wasnt a medical thing...more a mythical power overload thing :D) any who i started a course on the sunbeds today to try and heal it up. hopefully will atleast speeed up its healing. Thus I used the power of the sun(beds) to heal my body...just like the man of steel himself in superman returns....but the less said about tha film the better!

Anyway as a race is going on between red and sonic i think this is quite a relevant twist.

Enjoy!

Tonight i went to see Lionel Richie in the wonderful MEN arena with ma rents. Such an electric concert. and i even had my Hero-Specs on aswell. it was sunny when i got there...tho not afterwards. During the gig i noticed one of lionel songs "running with the night" as being quite...handy? This pic shows Red Bolting across the rooftops of manchester with his fellow knights slioueted behind him with the glow of the moon illuminating them all.

18-03-09 - I Know this footprint!

While walking through huddersfield centre today i found that a huge hole in the road had appeared overnight and being a bit of a comic book geek the 1st person i thought off was gd old HULK. Be all and end all really.

16-03-09 - Red Discards his alias.

Well i found out that i might be losing my job 2day! and it is almost a definate aswell. stupid redundancy cuts! On the plus side i do quite like the drawing from 2day. :D

(IMAGE COMING SOON)

WEEK 1 - SONIC VS RED is the WINNER!!

I Decided that this week i would be spucing up the 2nd drawing from last week with the aid of illustrator. Didnt quite come off as well as i had hoped. kinda lost my style in the conversion but this will obviously improve over time.

15-03-09 - Red Says goodbye to some companions..:'(

I decided to trade in my copy of Pokemon Pearl today. Not that bad a thing but as i and Jed (IN-D) both started our pokemon journey 2gether (literally at the same second) it was a sad moment. he was there to say goodbye to all the pokemon he gave me aswell tho.....he wasnt 2 happy bout that LOL sorry bud!

Neway, here is 2days quick sketch.

14-03-09 - Powerless!?!

Last night didnt go quite to plan....after watchin a lil of the red nosed celebrations i was asked if i would like to accompany a few friends to leeds for a night out....and was dead set against it, and didnt really have much time to get ready, all until one of them said "im sure Flash can do it!!". To which i replied "yep, yep i can!". Lets just say it was a messy one and i was rather not looking forward to work 2day with the hangover. After an hour or so at work i was dead again....no energy at all. Thus Red was powerless.

13-03-09 - Red Gets A Red Nose!

Well after yesterdays sucessful sponsored silence it would be just plain wrong not to show my support for the comic relief night. Simple as!

(IMAGE COMING SOON!!)

12-03-09 - Knights.....asse..........????

Simple story really. For red nosed day I was challenged to a sponsored silence at work. I am quite a talker to be honest, so here is red stripped of his speech ability lol. Enjoy!

11-03-09 - A Mysterious Stranger?

Well, look what happened 2day! when i logged onto facebook, i found i had a friend request from a "mysteriouss Strangera". i later found out that the this "stranger" knew quite alot about my comic book alter ego and his adventures. tho after some thinking i kinda figured out that they had aquired this knowlege from a peice of work i did which can be found on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob_O7XYzgjs.
anywho i digress. This sketch represents my new nemisis!

10-03-09 - Red Warped Time!

A few weeks after buying braid for my xbox 360 (and many frustrating hours ,i might add!) i finally managed to finish the game. If any of you are not familiar with braid it is as follows. You play Tim. Tim is searching for a princess. across 6 worlds, much like the retro styling of super Mario bros (and even with a slight parody to it after the 1st world " sorry our princess is in another castle" made me giggle quite a bit.) But the twist is time is both with you and against you. die and you just rewind time. simple.....not really. it does get complex. Any xbox 360 owners with a live membership, definitely recommend...right and now after that review 2days picture.

it must be said its quite difficult to draw things moving in slow motion as i discovered.

(Image coming soon!!)

09-03-09 - Red Vs Sonic

After buying a copy of sonic the hedgehog for the xbox 360 i figured that a speedster like red would love a challenge and who better...

08-03-09 - Who watches the watchmen?? We Did!

Well before i explain about the image it must be said....these are a little behind but i will get them caught up soon enough...bare with me

Anyway,

Simple really, Myself, Sam Eastwood (aka Dark Phantom) and Jed Backhouse (In-D) took a trip to manchester imax to see the Watchmen

Lets start a new adventure......

hi guys and gals, welcome to What happened to red? if you have somehow stumbled on to this a big well done!(not that i hid it...that would just be stupid...) neways on to buisness, this blog is a record of my day to day life...with a twist shall we say. Im currently a student at huddersfield university studying Multimedia design and over the coming months i will be posting a drawing every day or so showing what I got up to or at least something i did that day but as i said, with a twist. Using my character "Red" i will give an idea of something that happened to myself. if you dont get it now am sure you will when you into the sketches. these are usually done pretty quick tho every week i will be choosing one to redraw in a more professional way shall we say. so yeah enjoy and i hope you keep up with the general goings on of "Red". Ciao For NOW!
