This is insane man...or This is insane,man they are both correct anyway

@Someone Someone "This man is insane" means the person is crazy. "This is insane, man" means an event is insane, which technically isn't correct because an event can't be insane, but socially it is an acceptable saying.

James finishes the drawing His friend: yo did you see the new Star Wars movie

[@user-vr5zk9ox8d]

Sherry Steindel Lol, they aren’t even worth sketching... in fact I greatly despise how they are created sordidly from sloppy story writing and poor characters to the agitprop propaganda transposed into the plots and themes. Ugh, not even to mention how they basically ripped off the older Star Wars movies and then just tweaked them to semi-fit the scene. I’m not even saying the original movies are perfect either, but at least they made more sense.

Thanks so much for all the support over the years :) If you like this vid please check out me drawing AVENGERS for 250 HOURS - for my Mom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJbGq5WhnKZsmNk FYI for those breaking down the time - 400 hours is the actual time amount of footage that was shot - I got this number from my timeline in my editing software - this number does not include the countless amount of reaserch and presketching I did before starting each piece and editing the individual videos after I was done each piece. The extra 50 hours was for the digital coloring. All this time I was still teaching at two different colleges for a total of 20 hours per week of teaching time - factor in holidays and a week trip to Star Wars Celebration that year, that's why it took 7 months. I do have a playlist of vlogs I shot during this time - go check them out to have a better understanding of my weekly grind:)
