MURK AVENUE

Been slaving away on this animation idea I had for the last 3days, This is only 15 frames of a section of my animation played back and forth. The full animation is longer and the way I will be doing the coloring is the whole reason I am doing this so I hope you like my end product in a few days.

My email to ABC’s “Shark Tank”

Dear Shark Tank Investors,

My name is Donovan Strain and I would like to first give you 10 reasons why sleeping on a trampoline is better for you:

1. Cost Less than “normal” beds (economic!)
2. Like jumping on your bed? Nothing is designed better for that then a trampoline
3. Looking for comfort? They’re like hammocks you can’t fall out of
4. They take sex to a new level (it’s like knocking boots in outer space)
5. Very Spacious (ménage á 10 anyone?)
6. Forms exactly to YOUR body…every time!
7. Well Ventilated (stays cool and also drains any spill you have)
8. Due to its woven polypropylene design it’s impossible to get infested with bed bugs
9. Great conversation starter when you bring that “special someone” home
10. With “normal” beds having only 2 sides you have a 50/50 chance of waking up on the wrong side of the bed everyday, while a trampoline circle shape has 360 sides, giving you a 1 in 360 chance of waking up on the wrong side. Averaging only ONCE A YEAR!

Problem? No one makes sheets and blankets that custom fit any trampoline!!
Solution: My brand Tramposheets Bedding will conquer this with a huge line of special sheets/blankets/comforters. We are looking for a $300k investment, to mainly make the product since we don’t actually have a company at the moment.

Hope to hear back soon,
Donovan Strain

P.S. Did you get my last email about my new improved way to so called “kill two birds with one stone”? the Exploding Stones?

My thoughts on losing Derek Fisher

For those that aren’t Laker fans or fans of basketball enough to understand what’s been going on for more than just Lebron’s Decision or Blake Griffin dunking over a Kia, the Lakers have lost a major part of its franchise. Looking at Derek Fisher career stats you won’t see anything impressive, but Fisher is that ‘invisible stat’. The heart statistic, the focus and LEADERSHIP statistic. Though as a realistic fan I know his physical ability (worsening every season as the oldest Laker on the team) isn’t able to keep up with most players he’s put up against, I still wish there was a way for him to be on roster, even benched, his ability to play his role getting his team to focus and a bond with Kobe like no one else in the Lakers organization it is just too unfortunate to see gone and not be able to retire at home with. “So what? He’s good friends with Kobe and got seniority, and? He doesn’t have stats!” Fish has one of the biggest stats you can get, the thing every single player is after, Championships. 5 Rings, 5 LAKER Championships. Here is a little perspective so you understand how BIG 5 is: There has been more than 11,000 Players to ever play in the NBA, out of those 11 FUCKING THOUSAND…only 25…TWENTY FIVE, have achieved 5 or more rings. Currently there are 427 active NBA players, out of those 427 only 49 have rings, out of those 49, 39 have only 1. Only 5 active players with 2 rings, 2 with 3 rings, 1 with 4, and TWO with 5. One is Kobe Bryant (5^th All-Time Scoring leader). The other is Derek Fisher. Derek is in the 00.2% of players to EVER have that many. Looking at the others with that many or more, Kobe, Pippen, Rodman, Jordan, Russell, Magic, Kareem and so on, they place so highly in their own statistical all-time lists, but where is Derek in any of those charts? Was he just at the right place at the right time? 5 times? Something that’s only happened to 25 people in the history of the NBA Derek just happened to be there on accident by showing up on time to the right game? If it was that simple then why hasn’t Lebron won any rings yet? The most physically dominant player currently in the NBA, his numbers don’t lie and has had MORE than enough chances to win that ring, multiple times making the finals but couldn’t close the deal. Lebron, Dwight, Rose, Melo, Durrant, all so much better statistically then Fish so why does he have them and with how average his skills are do we care to keep him? The facts are there. Derek was that team player to keep everyone’s heads in the game, the guy that could pull the clutch shot when it was needed, one of the only guys that knew how to translate Kobe, the guy who you need on your team just as much as you need an All-Time scoring leader. A true captain, a true leader, Derek Fisher is a huge loss to the Lakers Franchise and contributions to its history are forever engraved with the 5 extra banners they got to raise from 2000-2010.
