Freakin hello to you boys n gals, summer break is going by awful slow... and thats good for me HEH. Did another lil live art show last saturday and put together this lil monster for the owner, it was fun to do but the damn paint would not dry fast enough, i figure cuase it was a bit damp outside and i was watering down the acrylic a lil more too iono. Anyways, he seemed to like it, but you never really know whether or not they love it until you hear from someone else who knows them personally and is willing to tell you the truth.
Workin on putting together VOID 4.0 now, its gonna be a damn pain in the ass for sure, toast has been pretty much rebuilding the site from scratch since our lil incident back at the end of 2006 was caused by some lazy coding on his behalf, or some shit like that. Either way, he's putting massive work into our lil baby and she's gonna come out like a fucking superstar later this year FO SHO. That guy is a fucking MACHINE lemme tell you.
Still pushing along on the lil project i got going for a special lil anthology, which is due at the end of july so i really gotta start feeding more coal to my engine, specially with school coming up in 2 weeks.
Cant wait to get back into the mix though, i feel so empty without constantly learning new shit... I mean there's always your day to day "oh i didnt know that! you learn something new everyday" type of events in your life, but i'm talking bout the stuff you learn in school.. the really awkward stuff you already knew, and yer relearning...yes i'm tired and i'm starting to talk stupid shit. Well whatever, all i know is that i'm sitting on a fatty 4.0 gpa right now, and I have yet to tell my momma bout it, i'm sure she'll find something to bitch about though HA.
Finally done with spring quarter at school, hopefully i walked away with straight A's, but i fear that i got a "B" in fundamentals of art, lame i know. But man sometimes relearning all the basics and doing things that arent new to you can be a real drag si si :\
Working my lil arse off getting shit together for this summer now that i'm on summer break.
I have three weeks to finish up my entry for an upcoming anthology, and get some more sketches done to put together a hot lil sketchbook for the cons i'll be hitting up in the following weeks.
Last night i had a fun time doing a live art show at a quaint lil lounge/bar a few minutes from my house. I jammed out this piece while listening to the dj power of Rick Fabris ( http://myspace.com/rickfrabris ). I learned a few things tonight bout painting which was fun, one thing being that i love painting on hard pressed wood stuff better than canvas. It doesnt have them nooks and crannies, its really smooth so i get some flat textures.. or something. Anyhow, rick kicked up some ideas of maybe coming out there on a weekly basis to do live art and getting a lil dough for being there. Itd be nice, even if it was a free meal ha!
Busy busy 3 weeks coming up, cant wait to post some shit!
I been sitting on this story for damn near two years and i finally it started to stab at my ass enough to where i couldnt stand it no mores! That and i've been achin to use/learn this nifty japanese brush pen i picked up in Seattle a few weeks ago. I'm not really putting much effort into it, as i'm just tryin to a) get the hang of the epic brush pen, and b) tryin out some sequential ideas. Dont really know how long i'll drag this out for, but i've got a somewhat short story arch planned for it so we'll see what happens.
Page 5&6 were totally inspired by Goseki Kojima (Lone Wolf & Cub), i've been reading the book every so often when i get a chance...so his work is really stickin in my head right now.

End of the quarter is lil less than 3 days away (this coming wed, the following monday and next wed), so i'm gearing up for what i hope wont be too tough of a slaughter house test frenzy. Since we fell behind in fundamentals of art, the teacher has decided to cross off our final project and instead make the drawing of the hallways the final project... with some added objects and what not of course. I was really looking forward to doing what had originally been planned which was a big extravagant interior of a room.. although i probably would have done a large city scape that i could use in tout le monde or some other project in the future. Oh well!
Math promises to be an easy test, as the "hard" test we already took (or so she says)... so i'm looking forward to nailing up a big A+ for that class on the fridge door. Psych might dip down to a B+ as i'm a borderline A- right now. Itd be really nice to be able to see my name on the honors/dean's list... something i've never experienced. I wont lie, its not so much for my gratification, but for my mom... i was never that great in school growing up, so now maybe i can make up for that. Now that it counts i figure.
*fart*
I've had the overwhelming urge to do some animation lately, so i finally took some time to myself and went at it with no worries on who would see it or what they might say. In other words, its got its massive flaws hehe.
I've been wanting to put together a lil animation to play with the "onion peel" button for quite some time now, since a buddy showed me the button... such a genius feature.
The end of second quarter of school is 2 weeks away, freakin crazy. Shit goes by so fast, and its awesome. I love the way they set up the quarters, we have a test every 2 or 3 weeks, so shit really stays fresh in your mind... that or i'm actually smart? HA, either way i'm getting A's in all 3 of my classes so i'm extra excited.
I hope to push out the rest of my lil 18 page project during my lil 3 week vacation before quarter 3 starts... hopefully i dont sleep in too much, i really dont like sleeping. Well scratch that... i love to sleep, i just wish i didnt have to. Its such a waste of time... with exception of transferring short term memory into long term memory of course.
sleep, you bastard i love you.
