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 #281 - Jairo Santos


Jairo as he was preferred to be called was always strong academically and wasn't in the slightest way possibly endowed with adequate motor skills. He got picked on and bullied all the time. His father decided at an early age to get him into self defense classes. Not that karate crap or in fact any Asian fighting, in the arrogant Brazillian way he knew there to be only one true martial art for his son and that was the only thing that a descendent of João Pereira dos Santos could practise.
Jairo was awkward and uncoordinated but like his academics he persisted. He took great pleasure in learning the history of the 'Secret Fighting' style, known nowadays a 'Sexy Dance Fighting' Capoeira was one of the pure things left in his country.
So, he studied and studied and studied. He obtained his doctorate at the Pfizer University of Rio, Pfizer had setup base there to tap into the copyright and patent free 3rd world country back in the late 22nd century. This was the world's top University when it came to genetic engineering and Jairo was top of his class, he was also now an accomplished Capoeira Mestre and had already taken over the local academy, he was 24, a Capoeira Mestre (the youngest in the last 300 years) and a Dr of Genetic Engineering.
What Jairo did next would change his life forever, he wanted to start his own Gym but lacked the startup capital, so through his contacts at the university he got in touch with Dudley Upright, the Brazillian head of the Pfizer brand, they liked to take the best graduates into their employ and would pay quite handsomely. Jairo had a plan though, they would allow him his Gym and he would allow them a genetic factory which he'd run gratis. There were only two conditions, firstly that he could run his gym every night and secondly that he worked alone.
They agreed.
In his first year Jairo manufactured 137 fetuses for Pfizer for which they would perform their testing, as Jairo had cloned himself he didn't see the harm in it. In his second year he became the Celebrity Baby Farm that he is today. He doesn't get any of the profit whatsoever but he does get to keep his gym going which is all he cares for.
