Dear Friends of Jano,

I think I reached the point in my bizarre adventure where I am going to start calling ya’ll Jano’s Acolytes or JanoLytes for short.

Yea,I think i like the sound of that…I think.Give me until the next issue and I will know for sure.

This is it, this is the last issue of 202 fucking 1. This year has been arduous for no real reason at all. Just so abusive, almost as abusive as Big Mom on One piece. On kami, she still terrifies me. That bitch was killing her own children because she was hungry, countries wrecked because she had a sweet tooth…NIIGGAAAAAA!! But I finished the Big Mom Arc and just finished JuJutsu Kaisen less than an hour ago. Definitly late to the party on that, but i liked it.

Side Note, I legit don’t want to see anymore animes with the 3 man team format like Naruto. *side eye.

All anime tangents aside I blame all the retrogrades for the this year, I do. That is my ninja way…well ninja witch way.

Despite the turbulence I somehow got my book in a store, created my online boutique (I got earrings now bitches), and finally got to the final level of my comic series. YAAAAAAASSS Final arc time.

*Geek masturbation time.

Nice to know came out of the fire and flames with new Stands forged.

Oh Jano, was that a Jojo reference?

Why yes, yes it was.

Legit hoping next year I will make more progress in terms of completion of my book, and reaching those level 2 products i wan to make.

Jano,Wait what?

Huh? Time for Adventure time come on tell a friend.

This story started back in 2013 on Tate Street near UNCG.

Really? Like really fucking really? You have to start at the beginning, way back, back in time.

Yes, actually no. This story started back in 2008 when I was poking random girls on Facebook for no real reason. No there was a reason, i was socially awkward and had time between class. I poked someone and her and I became friends. At some point I met another dude through her and him and I became friends.

Actually this dude is how the Luke Cage saga occurred. Damn its wild what friendship were born because I poked someone on Facebook. Simple Times. Simple fucking times.

See Janolytes this is why history is important, especially for the sake how these shoots occured. Context Motha Fucka’s, Context.

Back to this saga.

So aforementioned homeboy had a Bday party and her and I met. Fast Foward to December 2020, yep last year. She asked me how much I charge for photo shoots and i told her. She told me about an idea she had for a birthday shoot she wanted to do and of course i’m down, esp if I’m getting paid.

Y’all getting paid for a skill you have is a great thing. You can do things like eat, buy stuff to make your heart happy, or use it to fix your car….something that happened allot this year….so fucking much.

*Deep sigh.

We both decided that we will do it in 2021 because 1.I had a super slave amazon holiday schedule and 2. her schedule and she wanted to drop the Covid Lockdown 15. Which i fully get. I think i gained more than 15 last year, but I’m pretty sure i sweated it out in Jeff Bezos Slave pit.

Spoiler Alert, this is a pretty non dramatic issue. It may seem like its a Game of Thrones Saga, but nope. Not at all.

Spring came along and we started to plan possible dates. We decided on the last weekend of April. I had scouted the area where i could shoot her downtown. Initially she had said Raleigh or Greensboro, but in the end we chose here in Charlotte. Which was probably for the best considering at this point my car was acting so erratic.

Terrifyingly Erratic.

I found a location, emailed her a picture collage of the area I was going to shoot her and she was excited about the potential. The weekend came and she let me know when she left Greensboro. I started to get ready and eventually headed to the location. The most dramatic part of this arc was the parking situation. Her Gps sent her to a different location. At some point her and I found each other and we walked to the location, which wasn’t far. This was our first time seeing each other since…..Summer 2015.

Man being an adult sucks, you go years without seeing your friends because of Sponsibilites.  I feel your pain Angelica Pickles, I feel it.

Anyway, my home girl had a spectacular scarlet ensemble. YAAAAAAS. Spectators complimented her as we walked around.We  covered a good amount of the area in an hour. When it was all said and done I walked her to her car, and she drove me back to my car. We talked about possibly doing other shoots, art journeys, college experiences  and natural hair products.

And that’s all folks.

I told ya it was a pretty chill saga….well minus when I tried to upload the pictures to dropbox when i was done with the edits. Why was dropbox being a cunt? i don’t know.

Anyway to see the images from this literal Walk in a downtown park (or uptown park, whatever) click here.

With that being said this wraps up the issues for 2021 of Jano’s Bizarre Art Adventures. I still have a few more stories from this year, but they will have to wait until next year.

Because monthly tradition is important.

AYO, these essential oils are starting to take affect. I’ll see you Janolytes next year. Safe to say I have decided on  dubbing you all Janolytes. I feel like i need to make a shirt of that now. I do.

Ok i’m out now.

unspecified-3Dear Friends of Jano,

NIGGA ITS HOT!!! Like Disrespectful as fuck hot. Oppressively hot. Do I even need this skin hot. Put Deodorant on your genitals hot. Field Nigga slave empathy hot.I’ll def take this over winters frigid ways but holy fuck, is it this heat wave that necessary for the culture?

This issue is coming later than usual this month because honestly I didn’t feel like typing. I didn’t. Not to say that I haven’t typed anything this month, but it wasn’t anything lengthy. Ya know nice little blurbs, nothing more.

Anyway here we are finally.

So back in the Days of the Dead issue, I said that the initial shoot I was going to talk about had to be delayed because my coon college friend didn’t have one of  his websites ready. Well it’s ready now and I can commence talking shit about him, and the photoshoot of that April Saturday.

But Jano didn’t you say you are friends?

Spoiler Alert, you are right. But every since I’ve met this nigga back in my  2nd semester  during Spring Semester 2003 at UNCG,  he has talked more shit than I thought humanly possible. If I had a Myspace style  friend ranking of people who talked shit, he would be in the top 10. So I’m allowed to talk about this big nostril, cone headed, Vegeta Bashing, shit talking,  blasting rappers that irk your soul (Damn Gucci Mane), detritus, diseased country bama, scum of the earth. This nigga would have you feeling like you may wanna follow in Hannah Bakers footsteps.

But despite that, he is a very gifted negro when it comes to the trombone.

Damn Jano, are you satiated yet?

Right now I am.

At any rate, My homeboy Brain called me one day and asked me could I do a photoshoot for him for his new music website. Look at Niggas following their true passions in life, even though they are exuding scum essence, YASSSS.

Sorry, not sorry.

I gave him a price, he agreed and we picked a Saturday that worked with our schedules. Legit 2nd photoshoot I got paid for last year, sadly it was also the last but whatever I could finally put some toward my tattoo fund.

So fucking close now. So…fucking….close….

I drove to Greensboro hoping that it doesn’t pour down rain anytime soon. It was cloudy as fuck as I was driving up there. Legit it was more shady than anything that has ever came out of his mouth in all the years I’ve known him.

Damn there I go again. I promise me and this nigga are actually Kool. On God.

I get to his place and we head to a park that I legit never went to or heard of any of the time I lived in Greensboro from 2002 to 2010. We arrive and we see all these white kids dressed up.

What white nonsense is this?

Then it hit us its Prom Season, OOOOOOOh that shit. But its legit pretty crowded, so we walk to where  little white children are sparse to none. Luckily it was a big park. He tells me he has never modeled before, I tell him to play his trombone to relax and honestly to pretend I’m not there. It honestly went well, considering I wasn’t familiar with this park at all and he never modeled a day in his scummy puss filled soul life.

Everything was good until it started pouring down raining, and that far distance we walked to get away from a bunch of acne faced teenagers we had to run to get back to his car. You ever see 2 people run in a torrential downpour, hoping not to ruin their equipment, and not slip and bust their ass?

It is probably funny as shit watching, but being in said downpour nope not so much. No such fun exist.

Anyway, the rest of the day involved us going to meet up with some of our friends at some place. I legit promise every white boy at the bar my friends and I  ended up at looked like they idolized Brock Turner and  had rape intentions. I don’t apologize for that shit, I don’t. If you are mad you probably ain’t shit and think that violating ass cunt was justified, kill yourself creepy bastards.

To see some of the images that occurred before we got rained out, go here. And if you need a trombone or piano player, or a music lesson check out his website. And if you need to purchase an instrument check out his new store site as well.

See this nigga has some value in life after all.

Moral of the Story. Be careful of how much shit you talk to your friends because one day you could be exposed for filth on said friends website.

There is probably another lesson about following your dreams and passions, but eh not today.

Anyway  I’m all typed out for the month.  I’m gonna go play Final Fantasy 7 until next time.Damn Cloud, your backstory is tragic as fuck.

Dear Friends of Jano,

Well here we are the last photo shoot of 2016. The last time I meaningfully picked up my camera that year.

Wait what?

Yeah I’ll get to that in a moment.

Wait Jano, you are doing 2 issues this month?

Yeah well, I realized when I was in the cotton field today that March will have a few things I will debuting Sooooooooooooooo figured I’d do this one now.

Alright are we done with the questions? We are? Ok good.

Back to what I was initially saying, this was the last time I meaningfully I picked up my camera that year. Around this time I was STILL unemployed, Spoiler Alert I didn’t get a job at all that year. Through a litany of events which I don’t feel like typing, I started going to a bunch of networking events….which literally was a waste of my fucking time. OMG, all that social anxiety and awkwardness for no reason whatsoever. Anyway whenever I went I always brought my camera to photograph the event, cuz ya know habits. And at some point I legit thought about selling my camera and saying frag it all, yeah shit was pretty dark at that time.

Yea fun.

Anyway at some point one of my home girls I went to college together at UNCG with told me that her and her husband were expecting their first child together and was having a gender reveal party. And since this was important to her and she has fed me so many times since Oct 2007, no really she has fed me a lot. OMG Jano would have starved sometimes if it won’t for her.

Anyway.

I showed up and did what I do best, observe through a camera lens. At some point the gender of the baby was revealed and she had a……..yeah you’ll have to click here to find out. I will say that I am very happy for her and husband and the lives they are creating together.

Spoiler Alert, that is probably one of the nicest things you will ever hear me say.

Anyway as I said this was the last time I meaningfully picked up my camera in the cunty year of 2016. And with that I can let this year go finally, yaaaas closure.

Next issue, no actually all of next month will be flashback free. Do you remember how a few issues ago I said sometimes I was doing the Sonic Cd, past, present, past format. Right well we are gonna be in the present for all of next month. Then come April we will continue my photo journey into 2017, which won’t that bad…..wait….yea we will get to that in time.

In other news, last night I finally saw Thor: Ragnarok. Loki is still probably my favorite character followed by Thor’s mannerisms. But OMG Tessa Thompson in Valkyrie’s battle costume was amazing to me when she walked off the ship with the fireworks.

YES LAWD *said in Anderson Paak voice

But now that I have seen that I can journey to Wakanda Saturday and see the new Black Panther movie. Legit wasn’t going to see it until I saw Thor. I don’t give a damn if they individually don’t link for the sake of the whole cinematic Marvel Story I can’t skip movies. I don’t know shit about Black Panther but I feel like this KillMonger will be my new favorite villain.

Ok, I’m done now, I’m off to do art related things since I don’t have to wake up early as fuck to pick cotton tomorrow. And remember class always and forever, Fuck 2016.

Inimicus promo

 

Dear Friends of Jano,

Damn its December of 2017 and I still haven’t found any fucks to give. Has anyone seen my fucks? No? Ok thats fine, but I did rediscover how much I love Gym Class Heroes. I need a new CD in my life like now.

This issue is way later than I planned, but real shit I haven’t felt like typing lately. I haven’t. *shrugs* Waking up before the sun and picking cotton at the new plantation I am shucking and jiving it takes it toll on me. Yes, I made several references to picking cotton. Welcome to the Jano Ryusaru show to those new in the audience.

Today we rewind to August 2016 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

But Jano why are we in Greensboro?

Because that is where I spent 8 years of my life, 7 of which at UNCG. Ahhh memories of random moment, friends and academic rape. So….much …….fucking…..fierce academic rape.

Huh sorry.

But a friend who I met while in college decided to follow his dreams and become a writer. His name T. J. Morris and had released his fourth book called Inimicus. Spoiler alert, he named one of his characters after me. Thats right, Jano. Go ahead and rub your plumbus in envy. Do you have a character named after you? Huh? What? Ok.

Unlike previous times I was able to attend his book release party since I wasn’t slaving away in a cotton field. The event took was chill as fuck. It took place I wish I knew existed when I lived in Greensboro. The serenity of the garden was sincerely sway and soul soothing. Plus it is always to see friends who you don’t get to see that much any more for a myriad of reasons and hear about their life progress in so many ways.

Spoiler alert: I miss the simple times of college, minus the academic rape.

Anyway check out some of the photos from the event here. And also check out his website here. You won’t be disappointed with his literary works.

In other news I can finally start coloring Act 2 of Azure Ascendance.

YAAAAAAAASSSSSSS, coloring coma time. No for real i’m excited. More excited than I was when I saw the Infinity War trailer. OMFG.

Now back to playing Sonic Mania. I promise you I am setting the record for suck in the Flying Battery Zone. This stage was not this fucking hard in Sonic and Knuckles.
