the Blog Empire, part four

In search for an ArmyWith a Diploma I now had all I theoretical knowledge on empire building, what I need now was a method of distribution (i.e an Army). Searching online gave me nothing, all the available armies where way out of my price range. Sending my monkeys out was unfortunately out of the question, trust me I've tried sending them abroad before. At lunch I was so filled with my own problems that I hadn't noticed that the Lion was sad. TO BE CONTINUED

Birthday cake

I hadn't planned to start coloring this piece, but I felt I wanted the next week clean for other projects. Well I will probably not finish it until Monday anyway. Hey for this one I used pencil, it speeds up the process a little. Will have to let it dry before I put color on this one

the Blog Empire, part three

Back to school In order to make it big in this world I needed to extend, but my own resources are limited, I needed a new idea. I started to read and it soon dawned upon me, I needed to start a blog empire, but how? Lucky for me the local University holds a week long course in empire building! the course is quite extensive and is both theoretical and practical. In one lecture we are asked to talk about our personal Impirator favorite, mine being Queen Victoria (her sense of fashion is not surpassed in my opinion) In one practical workshop we play an extreme version of musical chairs (with just on chair), this will help us to be ruthlessly while usurping the throne. This is also learned in the game "King of the Hill", a good Imperator never quits. After a hard week of studying we all go our laurel leaves (a must for an up and coming Imperator) . Now how to start an empire? TO BE CONTINUED

Dance Gavin Dance

the Blog Empire, part two

Failed efforts In order to boost hits, I've tried different themes on my blog. My efforts in Fashion blogging failed to reach a large audience, my ideas in fashion are to much ahead of our time. My celebrity blog was also a failure as my knowledge of who's famous is not really up to par. (I was getting tired of the taste of cardboard martinis anyway) My food blog, "Chaos Cooking" was a failure rivaled only Titanic's first travel. To be frank I'm still trying to tidy up the mess in our kitchen. TO BE CONTINUED....

New month

the Blog Empire, part one

Moments of doubtI've been blogging almost three years now and feel that my blog has reached it's peak. Statistics is steady but lackluster and the long going trend does not show of any evident growth, and in order to live a blog (or a economy) need to grow, but how? My small studio still manage to produce reasonable art, but not to the standards of a choosy International audience, my blog needs some new fresh ideas to grow.. TO BE CONTINUED

Trio med bumba

just playing havoc on the search engines of the world, I still get lots of hit's for Swedish Fondue (it gives me a thrill each time I see it). Maybe I should start a restaurant .... (would you come?)

Chest extension

Many old Hero's have a problem, ( a problem not often talked about) during their life, full of bravery and hero-ship they tend to gather so many medals that the shear weight of their uniforms tend to be so high to render further feats impossible.But with our new patented chest extension you can practically gather how many medals as you want. Thanks to this you can now go out and do great achievements.. this is some of the new medals open for up and coming heroes... The Handyman. Is given to a handyman (or woman) that has managed to complete a task without hurting him or herself. The flying pig Is given to a person that has made great achievements in doing pigs airborne The shopping medal. is given to a person that has managed to buy everything on the shopping list.

the network order (first class)

this medallion is given to a man/woman who boldly solves internet problems. We have been without internet the last couple of days (I managed to surf on the neighbors weak waves though)

Keine Schönheit ohne Gefahr

I have problem with my Internet connection... this have nothing to do with this image, it's just full of badly spelled German. Apperently when I use my ink in my large fountain pen it tend to bleed, it's not fully fool proof (I'm not fool proof either as it happens).

Valentines

Three Valentine card I gave to my wife and daughters this morning, Asta our dog got nothing (she's no a great fan of the arts)
