what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #275 - The Viking Senator


If you are in politics, it’s known you are bad-ass and have an army at your beckon call, whether that be the Chems of the Newppies, the Mafia, the Yakuza (now defunct), the NEWSAMs, or the USSF or a group of Mercenaries.

Mart as his name suggests can trace his ancestry to the Norsemen, his army are the most feared in the melee arena, the true strongest men on earth. Ny·norsk as they refer to themselves have retained the ancient genetic make up of the Vikings and are so ruggedly adaptable to any terrain they are feared like no other. In fact, if you know they are coming for you and you don’t leave, they’ll wipe every trace of you from the planet. Then get drunk and dance the night away.

Ritualistic killers without remorse or fear.

Morten Magnusson was the leader of Ny·norsk and a close friend of the Nevada Senator so when Mart placed the help call out Morten gladly picked up the reigns. This war would be ugly but that's exactly how Mart wanted it, those swine in the NEWSAM had murdered his only son and they would pay.

The NEWSAMs though were no pushovers, they knew that they couldn't stop Ny·norsk in a ground battle so they retreated to their stronghold in Montana. The NEWSAMs were big, in fact next to the Hindus, Muslims and Catholics they were the 4th largest religious groups around and had easily the biggest band. the NEWSAMs were 25 million strong in the New USA and would be a nasty nemesis but Mart had planned it that way, the Ny·norsk carved through every local branch in the country turning the skeleton staff into skeletons. It took 2 years but they finally had the NEWSAMs isolated to their stronghold in Montana, this is were Mart played his masterstroke. Nuclear Weapons had all but disappeared in the early 2200s so a weapon of mass destruction was out of the question. Mart's cunning knew no boundary, he brokered a peace talk with the NEWSAMs within their stronghold, the deal was that he would come alone, in his capacity as senator he had the ability to enter these negotiations with an element of trust by the NEWSAMs (this was still their only weakness).

Once inside the compound Mart explained to the leaders of the NEWSAM that they would all be extinguished for what they did to him, Mart explained that it was personal and that he himself would take the responsibility of the ultimate revenge. You see, the pin that he wore on his lapel that looked like the insignia of the Nevada Senate was in fact a nano tech GPS locator. Mart had been working with the Newppies for the past 4 months to develop this tech, the Geo Thermal Dynamics farms were at this moment channelling all of their stored energy straight upwards, bouncing that energy across the Newppie satellite network and at the moment Mart said his goodbyes and then pressed the button on his lapel pin all of that energy shot down from space into that massive compound in Montana, in the blink of an eye the entire compound and every soul within it became ash.

Mart had cleverly set it up to make the NEWSAMs seem like they did this to themselves in an act of defiance and therefore lost their religious license in Nth America for committing a political assassination and mass murder.

the NEWSAMs were no longer the 4th largest religious group, in fact they'd dropped out of the top 10 behind the Snow Crash Sumerians and just below the Scientologists.

Buddhism was now 4th.
