ivys, spiders, and art

Would you like to touch this plant?

Well I sure wouldn't. Why you may ask... But I for one don't particularly want to be touching poisen ivy. Poisen ivy can grow as a vine, a climbing vine, or even as a bush! Poison ivy flowers around May or June. After flowering it produces berries. It also has two cousins: poison oak with 5 leaves, and poison sumac with 7 leaves.































This is a wolf spider. You may guess from it's name it's an agile, and quick spider. These assumptions prove to be true. At this time of the year, they are the most common spider, and largest. This won't continue for very long, only until the web spinning spiders are able to catch up in size.
































This is a lego guy I drew less then 9 weeks ago. It looked nice, except for the torso, which is a little disproportional.































as a side note May 15 is when a *special edition* of overkill the beginning is planned. I could in all likelyhood release it before, but it's because of may 15. see if you can guess why. Here's some hints.
1. it involves the color purple
2. it's specific to that date
3. it involves a disease I "had".

also the first week of october is mental illness awareness week. Of the ones I'm quite "familiar" with include bi polar, and adhd. To me bi polar is far more troublesome than adhd is. The colors for bi-polar are white/black. These colors symbolize the mania state and the depressive state. These states are basically opposites. The both have their downsides. Even though being happy is a good thing, it's also bad whether you know it or not. Your judgement will suffer plus you're full of yourself in the mania state (up state). I'm guessing it's kinda like being high, but since I've never been high (nor do I want to) I wouldn't know. I myself get treated for adhd with Vyvanse. It's kinda strange that they treat adhd with a stimulent. Isn't strange that, that works for people with adhd :P.
