ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! schools drawing to a close. i havent been doing anything really job wise. i have a lot of stuff on my mind right now, and lately ive just been doing some digital paintings to really clear my head. its going ok. id love to take up plein air painting. oil paints and everything else is quite pricey. hella belated bday present???? lollerskates. well once i scrounge up some money, maybe. for now my computer is fine. for anyone who goes on here try to guess who the bottom guy is. no one will get it cuz its a really bad rendition.

hi friends. its been a pretty boring week but im sure work will pick it up. just here to drop some thumbnails of a possible matte painting i hope to complete. well i have to because im taking a painting class so, im hoping itll be fun. so here yah go, and the last one is from a family get together i went to. i have such an amazing family, i feel so lucky to so have some awesome people around, even though i dont see them as much. and i have the cutest most brutal nephews, and i will fight anyone that argues this( and get my ass kicked).

bad ass uncle.. nuff said.

i love my moleskin...

2007-07-13T20:50:00.000-07:00

and my moleskin hates me! ive had it for less than a week and im almost done with it. went to disneyland yesterday and drew stuff. it was fun, just hanging out with friends and going on thunder mountain 4 times and almost getting thrown out.

on a more serious note, ive rediscovered the greatness that was Mr. Rogers, thanks to Dylan. He still so powerful in my adult life now where i really feel the pressure of reality sink in. Ive felt that ive taken a lot for granted these past couple years, and now that school is coming to a close, all i can say is that im scared. Truely frightened of what the real world holds in store for me. I've always felt safe inside my home cuddled away in my bed, but sooner or later i must get out there and live out my own life, but that first step will always be hard. I guess, i just dont think i can do it. Then, i see this video of Mr Rogers good bye, and i see a best friend that i havent seen in such long long time. Someone that i've need for soooo long to tell me how unique i am, and that there will always be someone to guide you when the world seems so cold. And it brought tears to my eyes, because i saw how much he cared for me. I really felt that he was talking to me, and i just want to hug him and thank him for how much hes done for me as a child and an adult. but with that, i cant take my family or friends for granted. They have always been there for me, but lately ive just been so stubborn and self centered to realize that. i need to get off my high horse and start letting people in and in turn i just want to be a better person when i set out on my own.

thank you Mr Rogers

school starts tomorrow, im really tired of this place, and im glad and sad that ive got one more quarter to go. as far as this break has gone though, ive been productive, but i dont think in the way that will help me with school. but fuck school yah know. ive been painting, sketching and trying to do some 2d animation. i havent touched any 3d crap, and at this point im pretty much over everything ive done last quarter. not to say that im proud of the stuff ive done up to this point, but i kinda want to start fresh, but i have no time for that now, so ill just suck it up and go back to my old stuff and try my darnest to polish the poop out of those. good luck.

well for now, heres some watercolor garbage.

for fun

2007-07-03T19:18:00.000-07:00

im bringing back the hobo in a big way. well not really but, this was fun. the girls kind of a dick in this one though. shes got a little attitude on her, but it'll work in her favor in the long run. but the little ones need to be checked every once in a while, and our homeless friend knows this.

we who wait

2007-07-01T15:50:00.000-07:00

become terribly impatient. i love annihilation time and jay reatard. heres a drawing i did at el cajon. i like it

stoopid

2007-06-30T02:18:00.000-07:00

it sucks to be lonely sometimes. my dam has broke and im back into this pit of self pity and the only thing that keeps me going is music and animating(which i dont do enough). oh well, in a week ill be back to my hateful lazy ways, and look back and find all of this self pity and loathing, retarded and unnecessary. poo

the mirror series

2007-06-25T00:27:00.000-07:00

so i took down the mirror that has been hanging on the wall forever, in the most useless spot and just laid it against the wall. it doesnt look pretty just sitting there, but theres more of use now, that being my artistic expression, whatever that is. heckle...so here it is. a few of hopefully more, of this new series of mine. i still need to put up my toilet sketches.

no hyphy

2007-06-24T13:47:00.000-07:00

ever.. here are some sketches from weds sketchcrawl with friends. and the last one is a random page from my old sketchbook. surprises are nice. and i need to explore the world i live in. for a guy living here practically his whole life, i know nothing about san diego. what an ass.

finally punk.

2007-06-23T19:25:00.000-07:00

maybe not but these ladies are pretty awesome.

keekle

2007-06-21T01:10:00.000-07:00

hmm.. break is good. trying to have fun and be productive at the same time. sketchcrawl today was amazing, thank you watanna and ryan for being completely real dudes and drawing the day away. i got some ok sketching done. hopefully ill find the strength to scan them in, but for now i have this digital sketch i did at tea and more.

observation is key, WEIGHT + BALANCE = POSE
i wish i can skate sometimes...

if i fell...

2007-06-06T19:14:00.000-07:00

it would probably hurt. well, its been a while but ive been working crazy hard this last months, and id love to share some still froms my 3d studio teams short "beggar"(i guess thats the name). these are looking pretty good, but i feel the whole thing seemed rushed, 10 weeks. or maybe were all just lazy bums, i dont know. but the story could be a whole lot better, i feel thats our main weakness. not properly developed, just came up out of a whim and some shitty sketches. it wasnt even properly storyboarded. most of the shots and ideas were made up on the fly, which can work sometimes, but as students its not an excuse. and now we have a week and a half to render the whole thing, and its been hell using mental, but since we have no story, might as well make it look pretty!!..hahah(tears..). im just glad this quarters almost over. time to dedicate this coming break, resting up, learning, animating(2d hopefully), and funzies..maybe for realzies.

argh

2007-04-09T22:18:00.000-07:00

well heres another post. ive been really pevved on an animation ive been working on and this doodle pretty much reflects it. and the other is of a monster boss.

bleh

2007-04-02T01:16:00.000-07:00

spring break was nice..some ups and downs but now i must go back into the down that is school. ive somewhat kept busy during break and did some animating and drawings..hopefully ill scan some sketches from disneyland weekend that i liked( which is few). but for now heres some coward samurai crap.

fat chicks suck..

2007-03-26T14:25:00.000-07:00

most of them at least. its been a pretty busy spring break so far and its only been like 3 days. fat chicks..booze..dancing to god knows what.. more fat chicks..gallerys..books..etc! i got the anient book of myth and war and three trees make a forest and they are both totally awesome!!!..i thank my friend eric for going with me to la for the gallery and watanna for letting my loser ass hang with his buddies...so heres some crap ive done recently..from the comments i see that people dont give a poop..so poopy poop poop butt. laterz

pump up the digital dump

2007-03-21T00:51:00.000-07:00

more stuff.. trying to add more texture.. im getting more comfortable with this idea of pigments of light so maybe i have a chance in this crazy art world!..syke!!! oh well.. i hope you guys like as much as i dont!

tuff tukus

2007-03-16T18:25:00.000-07:00

well ive been pulling these out of my ass lately so i might as well put em out here. i SHOULD be animating but these were way more fun. ooo and i saw the cartoon modern book at barnes and noble..possible birthday present :D aug 23!!! hahaha. the book kinda sparked the kid painting. if anyone has seen the movie M, than youll know the last painting of him hiding from an angry mob of crazed criminals(cuz he kills little girls... oh peter lorre). everything else is pure poop

uh yeah uh.

2007-03-15T20:50:00.000-07:00

2007-03-11T01:58:00.000-08:00

ive gone pretty crazy about my character animation final that ive done a color script of it to find the mood and what colors work and heres what come up. keep it sweet and simply.

its been a while...

2007-03-09T00:39:00.000-08:00

since i posted so i feel i need to do so. nothing much going on though. ive been drawing lots of hands and i hope to put some of them up once i stop being lazy and scan them..so for now heres a little nugget of poo i did the other night. enjoy

peter lorre is god

2007-02-27T02:25:00.000-08:00

this is a really late update but heres a dialog test for my character animation class. this isnt the final, and theres more tweaks i need to do with the mouth. so far im pretty happy with how far i took it. id love any comments or critiques from any weary wanderer. also its not suppose to be that dark but thats youtube for yah!

2007-02-19T10:51:00.000-08:00

heres some character concepts for hobo jo. i really like how these came out especially the bad kids so MAYBE!.. ill stick with these and try doing some animation with them. ive been getting back to hand drawn animation and ive been having some fun, so ima try to do more. these are for business of animation by the way and it is a terrible class.

speedly boop bop

2007-02-16T22:18:00.000-08:00
