I've got to say a "Love" theme is not as easy as I had imagined when I was brainstorming ideas...lol oh well luckily, like most things in life my themes are fleeting.  Thanks to my wife for the balloon idea.  One more love pic to doodle and then its on to a new theme....Toys.

Title: Blank Love

Valentine's Day....alright I say Happy Valentines day to everyone that celebrates it.  Since I didn't want to be overly sappy on this day I chose to to showcase this wonderful Disney movie I watched today on Chromecast it was called Blank a Vinylnation Love Story.  With a run time of about 40 min or so it was a really sweet and fun film.  Done with stop-motion and done extremely well as we would expect from Disney.  If you have the chance I highly recommend it.  It said exclusive movie when I picked it so it may just be for Google chromecast users.  

Thanks Disney you made me smile again.

Title:  I'd Still Choose You.

Alright technically it's the 11th Doctor(Matt Smith) that gets to actually "meet" the Tardis and talk to her, the Sexy Thang that she is...

but the 10th Doctor(David Tennant)is still my favorite so I took some artistic licence.....

Mabye the title of this one should be 

"To Love a Doctor"

either way it fits the theme.

Title: I didn't choose you....

Alrighty then.....so Valentine's Day week....I don't care for Valentine's Day much.  Always thought it was a scam of a holiday.  A day for people to spend more money on their loved ones....

or worse more money trying to get someone to love you....

or steal someone away....

or be noticed at all.  

For me, in grade school, I was always the little boy the little girls prayed wouldn't give them a Valentine.  Not that, at that age, it meant anything at all mind you, but trust me, rejection at any age, totally sucks balls.

Anyway back on track...Valentine's Day is a sham, but being in love is not.  And showing someone you love them is something we should all do as often as possible.  Not with money or diamonds and crap! 

because you can't buy love...you give it honestly.  Show the person you love that you love them with you actions and words.  Don't be an ass and wait for them to come to you because you're still mad at them about something.

let it go!

(I can't say those three words without breaking into song for Pete's sake Disney your songs are like musical crack) 

Everyone is guilty of being prideful and expecting the other to make the first kind gesture to end a fight, or something similar.

Love trumps Pride always so I challenge you this week to 

be giving....

be forgiving....

be humble.....

be honest....

Be Loving

You won't regret it.

Happy Doodling

p.s. If you must buy a gift don't be a freaking cliche and get them flowers or jewelry.  Get them something that means something.

Ryan "Niga" Higa

On Christmas Eve of 2008, Higa and Fujiyoshi's two most popular videos, How To Be Gangster and How To Be Emo, were removed due to copyright violations. On January 21, 2009, the nigahiga account was temporarily suspended and was required to remove more copyrighted videos. Because of this, nigahiga's lip synching videos were all removed (with the exception of You're Beautiful, which was audio swapped),along with most of his other videos that included copyrighted music. Since then, Higa started composing the music himself. How to be Gangster and How to be Emo were put back on nigahiga's channel in late August 2009, only to be removed a few days later, along with How to be Ninja and How to be Nerd. In Spring 2010, How to be Ninja, How to be Gangster and How to be Emowere made public once more.

Due to Ryan Higa moving to Las Vegas for college, most of the Nigahiga videos are solo efforts, usually featuring collaborations with other YouTube users. However, the other members of the Yabo crew have made appearances whenever Higa visits Hawaii. Sean Fujiyoshi has been making more frequent appearances due to his move to Nevada.

Truly an inspiration to never give up on your dreams

Thank You Ryan

Walk Off the Earth

Canadian born band Walk Off the Earth is one of the most wonderfully talented groups I've seen in quite a while.  They perform amazing covers as well as original songs on their channel, & their album REVO was released on 

March 19, 2013 and made it to the Billboard 

top 100.

Here is one of their videos that must be seen.....I mean if you haven't already of course.

Pewdipie

Currently the YouTuber with the most subscribers, & holding that title since last August,

 a title previously held by Ray William Johnson, Smosh, and a few others. 

Pewdiepie, who's real name is Felix, is a super friendly Swedish dude who likes to play video games and commentate on them while he plays.  This sort of video has become very common on YouTube.  I should know, my son Connor is into Minecraft and there are a bunch of people making similar videos while they play the multitude of Minecraft mods out there.  

But.....getting back on track

Pewdiepie's unique style of zany antics, happy go lucky nature, and VERY colorful language has brought the subscribers to his channel in droves.  Last year his subscriber number jumped from 3.5 million (which is pretty freaking awesome) to over 18 million (which is totally freaking insanely awesome!!!!!!!!).

  Currently he has over 22 million.  I've got 134.....not 134 million....just 134 and I appreciate each one for sticking with me.

Much Love.

 I've been active on YouTube for over a year now.  It takes a while to build up a fan base and to get yourself out there but Pewdiepie's not having any trouble at all.

My problem is that I use my channel like a family album and while I love the videos I make...they aren't always very interesting to strangers.

Maybe I should try making a commentary video...nah I'd always be trying to be as cool as Felix.    

There's just something about him that's hypnotic in a way.....don't believe me?

Check him out for yourself

here's a link to him playing Flappy Bird.......be warned he swears..& he's crazy funny.

Check him out here.

Thanks Pewdiepie for just being you.

Happy Doodling,

Chris

and here's my latest video.  I helped out 24VII Danceforce by filming and editing a dance video in memory of someone near and dear to the dance studio who recently passed away.  The video was made to be a joyful celebration of his life.  Enjoy.

it's not available on mobile devices due to a copyright on the music we used but check it out when you're in front of a desktop or laptop and you'll be all good.

What can I say about Jenna Marbles...to be honest she sorta defies description, but I'll give it a shot.  Truly a YouTube Icon JM, to me, defines the Be Who You Are Without Apology mantra to a T.  No subject is off limits and her opinions, while shocking at times, are absolutely honest and extremely entertaining.  Thank you Miss Marbles for being who you are.  You are an inspiration to many.

Next up is Ray William Johnson.  He's been a YouTube celebrity for years now and if you haven't watched his web show Equals Three then you're missing out.  RWJ reviews viral videos and leaves the links to all the vids in his comments section.  So many people have had bumps in their viewership due to his reviews.  He's expanded into having his own production company Runaway Planet and now does a podcast regularly with his partner in crime (and a YouTube celebrity in her own right) Anna Akana where they discuss all sorts of stuff...funny..and serious.  A truly funny man and well worth checking out...

Thanks Ray.

sWooZie

One month down and eleven to go.  I've brainstormed tons of themes for this project, but honestly there are a few I am looking forward to with much excitement and a few I'm still on the fence about.  YouTube Icons was one of my first theme ideas and I almost tossed it out cause it's a bit intimidating to try and draw someone you don't know without offending them by making them look too fat, sick, or ugly.  But I didn't toss is out and after having drawn four so far I'm pretty happy I didn't.  For each of the Icons I picked I went back and watched a bunch of their videos.  Videos that inspired me to start up my own YouTube Channel.

The first Icon I could remember getting hooked on was Adande better known as sWooZie on YouTube and in the pro-gaming world.  He started off by vlogging about his life as a pro-gamer and got a ton of followers just from that notoriety.  However, he quickly spread to other fans as people shared links to his extremely entertaining videos.  He's done stop-motion, animation, how-to videos, and much much more.  He's a wonderful storyteller and his charming personality and insightful ideas are always positive.  If you have a moment go check him out but I warn you.....you may just loose a few hours of your life to laughter.

Hawaii 5-0
 #nopantsontv

Alright in my defense I was sort of out of sorts this past Friday.  Not only was I crazy excited to see myself on Hawaii 5-0,

 but my external hard drive decided to die and I had no back up for the 3 years of work I had saved there.  Stupid I know and I really want to say thanks to my wife Nikki for helping through my mourning period, and to Todd for doing what he could to attempt to recover the files.  This means all of the tools I'd collected &/or made for my videos and photographs are gone.  Family photos and vacation videos all gone because I was dumb and didn't have a back up.  Lesson learned for sure....

 I must start again and build new tools and props. 

 So on a day of big highs and lows I drew the doodle above in honor of the positive part of the day.  Then I went and drew the bread at our table during lunch at the Old Spag Factory the next day.  Not realizing that a new theme started on the first of the month...lol so I drew twice on Saturday but chose to add the bread to the end of the food themed week...

Here's to moving always onward and upward without regrets.

Happy Doodling and for Pete's sake back up your files people,

Chris
