10 Psychopaths

My friend Riennahera has recently created a list of her favourite male TV-show characters, based on the hotness. I looked at it mostly disapproving her choices and then thought, who would I choose myself? No one, really. I can only think of my favourite characters and they all seem to have one thing in common. None of them are normal. None of them you would really want to meet, perhaps with few exceptions. Yet as characters they are my favouritest. I don’t watch a lot of TV shows, so they will not all originate from them. For starters, guy from my favourite movie of all time.

1. Ondřej from Samotaři. This is probably one of my favourite films of all time. It was too hard to pick just one character, but here he is... Ondřej is a very successful neurosurgeon that enjoys dressing up as a plumber and stalking people. Particularly girl called Hanka, whom he is obsessed with. Once successful, he then sets everything to fire.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2.  Continuing the medical theme, my number two is Dr Gregory House, MD. Chances are he will save your life, just before nearly killing you. He also is nasty (another quality I value), sometimes sees dead people and is a genius. Really, the perfect package.
   
   
   
   
3. The Red Guy. The most chaotic character I can think of. True love of mine at first sight. Also happens to be the original inspiration behind the Eelcat.
   
   
   
   
4. Stuntman Mike, Deathproof. "Hey, Pam, remember when I said this car was death proof? Well, that wasn't a lie. This car is a hundred percent death proof. Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you REALLY need to be sitting in my seat."
   
   
   
   
   
5. Barty Crouch Junior (yes, from Harry Potter) Evil, crazy, devoted to the Dark Lord AND David Tennant at the same time!
   
   
   
   
6. Lobo, Lobo. Alien murderer/bounty hunter who killed everyone on his own planet before deciding to go on a “gap year”. Or travelling the universe killing more people... Same thing, really.His best friend is Mr Hook. Nuff said.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Lord Blackwood, Sherlock Holmes (2009). Depraved Adversary. Dabbles in black magic, comes back from the dead... All that in the name of ruling the world. So stylish at the same time.
   
   
   
   
   
8. And the latter ambition he shares with the next character – Brain. "Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"  "The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to take over the world!"
   
   

   
   

   Narf!

   
   
9. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, Shutter Island. Seems perfectly sensible up to the point when it turns out he is very far from it.
   
   
   
   
10. Marvin Boggs, Red. A great creation, copyright US government. Has received LSD every day for ...a while, and tends to be a bit on the edge most of the time.
    
    
    
    

Bunnyrific

It seems that recently a large proportion of my facebook friends has obtained bunnies. (By recentely I mean probably over a year in some cases). So every day I seem to be bombarded with pictures like these:

And I am surely not complaining about this, it's like being bombarded with cat pictures only SLIGHTLY different. I remember in the olden days when I was 5 my granny used to have TONS of bunnies (before they became so last year and she moved on to guinea pigs). I remember of being terrified I will get bitten (but never was). But that is not only bunny related memory for me. Mostly it makes me think of this picture:

Albrecht Dürer is one of my drawing heroes. I think my soft spot are the superdetailed drawings and this was one of more important ones that influenced what I am doing now. I am not alone in being influenced by this image though, as so was Jürgen Goertz:

 This is a scupture which sits outside Albrecht Dürer's house in good old Nürnberg. Which I went to some 10 years ago (I think it was exactly that last November). And it was quite amazing.

So here is my bunny story for today. Now I am going to draw some!
