hitting my late night limit

busy beeee

2012-01-18T00:25:00.000-08:00

i am drawing and animating alotfor work, so....ummmmmm

it'ssssss abstract? switching from photoshop cs 4 to 5, and i was reconstructing and moving some brushes.

PS 5 so far.... is kinda slow. but i have also nearly filled my hardrive, so there's probably more to it than hardware.

SKULLBLIN

2012-01-07T18:24:00.000-08:00

i just remembered, and i made myself finally finish it

i also liked the silhouette and saved out a thing while colormasking.

MY RIDE IS HERE

2012-01-05T20:40:00.000-08:00

i'm waiting on paper work until i can drive a new car, so i got this far on a drawing while waiting for my ride.

i hate rib cages, i always always confuse myself when i get involved in drawing rib cages

IS SOMETHING WRONG????

2011-12-13T01:39:00.000-08:00

GHAAIIIIIIIIIH!!!
there isn't really anything behind this. i just started reading the Akira manga and got over excited, and it came out during a cool down drawing.

1 book down, 5 to go! and it's AMAZING!

Mechplane

2011-12-07T20:59:00.000-08:00

have been fussing with these on paper for a while. i went crazy with the color dodge brush!!!

after putting all that confusion in the color, i think i just like the last one with nothing.

moldwort

2011-11-09T23:02:00.000-08:00

hoping to work on 48 hour film tomorrow night, buuuuuut.....i might just sleep and sleep and sleeeep

single celled dragon

2011-11-09T00:28:00.000-08:00

i gotta work, but i needed a minute. i wanted to add teeth, but 10 minutes is enough.

i wanna draw transparent stuff.

48 Hour Films

2011-11-05T15:15:00.000-07:00

gonna do one this year.

theme is cactus!

i don't think Cactusaurus is what i'm gonna be doing, but probably something related

maybe a cactorse or something

2011-11-03T22:34:00.001-07:00

we get free yoga at work on some days, and wednesday morning is the best because there are fewer people around to see you in silly poses or falling on your face....

gonna do my best to do a little 48 hour film this weekend, gonna work a little too from the looks of it, hopefully gonna watch Perfect Blue before it's overdue.

hmm

2011-11-01T12:46:00.000-07:00

found this on my desktop

from a while ago

some while

WHERE ARE YOU GOING

2011-10-18T01:02:00.000-07:00

went on a hike with friends yesterday, chased a big fat alligator lizard. i didn't catch it though, because most all of my encounters with these guys as a kid were bites, so i chased it for a while.

Noel almost caught a snake too, but it snuck away too fast.

there were tons of dogs.

skullgoblin

2011-10-10T20:48:00.000-07:00

beer-music crawl tomorrow!

and wednesday! probably noth'n on wednesday!

some spare time

2011-10-04T23:40:00.000-07:00

gonna be bowling tomorrow night though, so i might not come back to this till next week?

i ought to get back to posting once a week, so i'm going to cheat with this.

on top of primarily drawing skulls, warriors, and devil things, i've been looking at waaaay too much of this stuff: http://sambosma.blogspot.com/

MAN

manomanoman! that style makes me so happy!

I'M BACK

2011-09-06T15:52:00.000-07:00

messing with color dodge. gonna try again later.

SCREENCAPS

2011-08-14T14:32:00.000-07:00

i love screen caps. mac makes things TOOO easy.

not much to post, just some goofing around overtime stuff. might load some flash sketches later, i know i have alot of those......ooorrr, i can commit to finishing that second drawing......or do work, like i'm supposed to....

huh....

2011-08-06T23:16:00.000-07:00

nope. not today's. i'm busy.

VELVET BELLY

2011-08-05T23:11:00.000-07:00

#5
velvet belly lantern shark.

i did want to put some more time in it.

but i'm tired.

and i'm not working tomorrow.

and i'm sleeping in.

and i'm gonna drive myself home in a second to fulfill that.

and i might be drawing shark people next week.

BROWN BANDED BAMBAM

2011-08-04T21:28:00.000-07:00

#4:
brown banded bamboo

pixelshit!

david and parker were playing and singing over an ancient and tiny synth. it was amazing. so i got pixels in my brain again.

been a while though, i forgot all the rules!!

LONGNOSE SAWSHANK

2011-08-03T21:03:00.000-07:00

PELAGIC THRASHER

2011-08-02T21:57:00.000-07:00

#2:
pelagic thresher shark.

interresting brush, btu i've lost it already. completely forgot where i found it.

SHARKWEEK: HAMMA' HEAD

2011-08-01T20:50:00.000-07:00

#1:
great hammer heads.

i should have gone with my original plan to draw shark people. but that would have been EASY.

so here are 2 dumpy sharks instead.

SHARK WEEK

2011-07-31T13:19:00.000-07:00

you know what that means.
expect a drawing everyday.

there's no assignment today (or yet) so here's a something.

guy on the left? been through alot in one day. probably smells delicious.

Orlando Bloom

2011-07-24T14:04:00.000-07:00

he's been around next door doing something lately.
i saw him this morning, kicking his motorcycle around in a circle. i know he had a bluetooth, but i liked that i couldn't see it.

i felt rude staring at him, too.

back to work!!

end point

2011-07-24T13:19:00.000-07:00

messed around with it enough

got to work for a little bit now

STARTING POINT .2

2011-07-23T20:17:00.000-07:00

trying something new?

drawing people and robots AND guns......and in a way i'm not used to, but i think i like it so far??

now i'm going to go eat dinner and draw something else, and color this tomorrow.

WEEKEND OVERTIME

2011-07-17T21:04:00.001-07:00

this is what i do at my job now.

have really dumb drawing wars.
all the time.

this last one was tough, had to get those layers right.

actually, i did get my work done this weekend-and i'm overtiming to save up vacation days for ENGLAND!!!!

YES, ENGLAND SOON!

but i can't think about that just yet. i need to go home and eat dinner and bug my roommate before she goes to sleep.

SICK DAY

2011-07-14T15:11:00.000-07:00

and i forgot how dumb my home-working setup is

the tablet's on my knee, actually, but the hotkeys are still at an obnoxious angle and distance.

HALF CAT

2011-07-12T22:46:00.000-07:00

so on sunday, me and my housemate go to get breakfast down the street. on one of the side streets, we look over and there is a half of a cat. stopped all conversation points on the way to breakfast and on the way back.

so, it came up again today, and i drew it, and hopefully this is what was happening to half-cat.

yep, this is my drawing for the week.

late nights, unfinished

2011-07-06T09:55:00.000-07:00

Chainsaw devil!

2011-06-30T22:01:00.000-07:00

ah-HA!
blogger was broken for me last night, but now it's working! what gives??

anyways, i brought my PS brushes from home, so now i'm really stuck in the studio forever.

a friend proposed chainsaw horns; so thus. i was going to finish it tonight, but i think i'm going to be responsible and go back to work.

happy 4th! i get a new prescription and frames this weekend!

Blogger is being weird

2011-06-30T22:00:00.000-07:00

hopefully this posts as a test?

OVERTIME

2011-06-19T17:51:00.000-07:00

overtime turned into a whole lot of watching internet videos, researching cold fusion and the origin of Battles, and animating alot less than i was hoping...
some drawings, too. i like the flash brush now. now it's mastering the pencil. it's so fickle! and it feels worse on macs, what's up with that??

i really don't know what the color is like anymore, some screens is blaringly oversaturated, but on my cintiq and laptop it's still a got a dusty quality.

but yea.

2 WHOLE drawings this week!! i'm on fire!!!

Space business

2011-06-18T22:40:00.000-07:00

drawn on my laptop a while ago, some random stuff.

bittern?

2011-06-08T23:33:00.001-07:00

found a brush to mess with, i dunno...

Baboob

2011-06-05T17:32:00.001-07:00

a typo i'm gonna leave as.

drawin in flash, workin' on the weekend

drawing something that still has an under-bite and angry eyes, but is not a reptile.

Tumbl'n

2011-06-04T18:40:00.001-07:00

http://tumblgarden.tumblr.com/

i made it. it's a weird place...

drawing posts still happen here.

ONE DAY

2011-06-04T15:30:00.000-07:00

yea, one day i'll have time to come back to this.

i'm making a bad habit of screen-capping stuff, especially in flash.

gonna make my tumblr today, too. keep putting it off.

Jerrab

2011-06-02T19:41:00.001-07:00

busy busy this week

drew this in the margins, everything else is on paper

drawing a character with green and spotted pajamas, but i keep thinking of really dumb spotted things.

late night critters

2011-05-26T23:26:00.000-07:00

from a few months ago i think

the fugly guys on the very bottom are new, but they're fugly.

Cave Spider

2011-05-25T21:37:00.000-07:00

i said i would draw one....

cave spider is much easier than tailless whip scorpion.

sososo, i drew a bunch of bugs and a lizard, but they are on paper. sorry.....

life is pretty rad and busy right now, i'm in charge of a small project! i'll tell y'all about it when i can!

and this song here has become pretty much a constant backdrop, i can't get enough of it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sokz0oy7wo

i hope no one can hear my headphones, cause i'm probably driving them crazy

mechanical things

2011-05-20T23:43:00.000-07:00

feeling abit of a drive to draw more mechanical things after beating Portal 2. except i had meant to do fanart for it, and forgot....maybe later.

a weird robot and some shitty flying car thing. i want to fix it...but it's late, i should go. ah, i forgot a bit of the robot's leg too

you know, i figure if i can keep posting at least once a week, that'd be pretty rad. i can definitely keep this up. who knows, i might improve?? i definitely want to fix that car....

Vinegaroon

2011-05-14T20:39:00.001-07:00

found a brush i hadn't used before, and it handles quite nicely on the bamboo.

practice'n! the vinegaroon is pretty awesome, so i gave it a shot. on a half of it at least.

next time, i'll either draw a whole one or a tailless whip scorpion or something

Titbloginc. post

2011-05-13T22:13:00.000-07:00

the theme is ....hmmm, there was a word for it that someone figured out, but i don't recall it.

the theme is to draw something that is performing an action redundant to itself. if that doesn't make sense, then an example would be "a bicycle riding itself"

i ate an orange today, so thus.

not much time spent though, i need to do some more work tonight.

2011-05-11T00:28:00.000-07:00

touchpad!

2011-05-06T00:55:00.000-07:00

i totally rediscovered my paint texture brushes...ever so slightly....

both too lazy to grab the tablet, and curious how it felt to draw on a touch pad after so long.

feels bad.

gave up on the back end.

people and flash

2011-05-05T00:07:00.000-07:00

trying to improve on drawing people and in flash
so that dialogue test i was wanting to do will have to hold off, something big just came up.
weee.

but here's a late night drawing, i kind of needed a cool down after today. he's supposed to be leaning on something, but i didn't know what to put there and then i forgot.

also, i think that's the best drawing of a gun i've ever done. ever, man. and i got it wrong even, now that i'm looking at the reference some more....it's missing a bit just around the index finger....

but anyways, it's bed time. good night

but wait, also-OPEN SHOW!! it was so awesome! my year is graduating and that's weird! and i'm too tired to elaborate i guess, ever sentence i try typing ends up in a confused sort of blur....

in any case, there was some amazing stuff. i got to see people i hadn't seen in ages, i hadn't seen the school in like a year and a half, and there're some real talented underclassmen and grads. i want to make a film tooooooo, but i can't right now. maybe later in the summer.

okay.
goodnight.

scribble

2011-04-19T17:57:00.000-07:00

from yesterday, i forgot to post it.

looks like measles instead of freckles.

11 second club

2011-04-19T01:16:00.001-07:00

definitely gonna give it a shot.

the portly guy isnt gonna do much, so i probably won't pay as much mind as crazy demon faced guy

i kinda wish i had toonboom on me, but we'll see how this goes...

2011-04-18T22:16:00.000-07:00

i think i'm gonna try 11 second day again

or just a dialogue test with this month's audio

WIP

2011-04-15T21:52:00.000-07:00

i was gonna finish it, but now i'm going to a midnight showing of the Shining. so later again

here's a most of something i was working on, based on some gestures from Dr. Sketchies. maybe i will scan the gestures to go with it.

tomorrow night i'm going to the Adventure time show at gallery nucleus!! and i'm probably gonna buy something i don't need too!!

late night

2011-04-13T22:42:00.000-07:00

drew a lady too, but that's not done 'cause photoshop crashed on me.can't say i remember the last time that happened.

i will try to finish the lady drawing before the weekend.

in the future, i am suddenly finding it hard not to spend money on things like shoes and posters and new car door handles while i save up for the new computer and a Cintiq 4.

i want it!

but i want Tom shoes too!

and new door handles!

oh well, good night

2011-02-26T15:23:00.000-08:00

mess'n

want to animate this in some way

LOL

2011-02-25T23:22:00.000-08:00

Karaoke night again, but now i'm gonna go home

i'll try to finish this someday

20 second film

2011-02-22T21:00:00.000-08:00

for 5 second film day.

this should actually work this time around:

5 SECOND DAY, 2011 from Marina Gardner on Vimeo.

i got to use the big editting bay for some sloppy sound effects, and that was awesome.

2011-02-21T13:27:00.000-08:00

here we go

2011-02-17T23:42:00.000-08:00

did i say i was going to update friday? hahaha! haha...

i meant tomorrow-friday.

maybe.

i will be preparing for 5 second film day over the weekend, so there might be an update in there.

2011-02-09T23:13:00.000-08:00

firing up the scanner.

posts friday, i got to sleep some

2011-02-05T00:17:00.000-08:00

some stuff i had off hand, and i'm sleepy so i'm making this quick;

i don't remember drawing this, but clearly it was after i watch Neon Genesis this summer and got a little obsessed with it. so beautiful, so freaking confusing!! then i heard Rebuild was supposed to remedy some the confusion, but that was mostly worse cause everything was different but the same and there were whole chunks of the original show tossed in and some chick who was stupid and made no sense.

anyways, i got a little mech0-obsessed for a moment. i also clearly didn't have enough love for it to color it properly.
and this guy's from a page of beasts, just the most finished of them from a late night at work.

i'm too tired to think of anything else to add, i'll be posting again later this weekend.

happy chinese newyears and weekedn everyone!

2011-01-29T12:05:00.000-08:00

hmm, still figuring this out
it doesn't seem to be playing the file though...

beeehhhh

2011-01-28T00:38:00.001-08:00

this is ...closer

kitty pitty by ~okavango on deviant ART

weeell, if you click on it it'll take you to a simple loop i did earlier before leaving work. still haven't figured out swf. embedding.

it was a cat, but i wound up liking it better without ears. so it's more like a legged olive with a tail.

animating with the pencil tool in flash is actually kinda difficult, since it doesn't follow the path you lead all the time.

2011-01-27T22:39:00.000-08:00

late night tonight at work.
i drew some cats and a thing in flash.
goin' home early tommorrow.

i love when cats get those crazy eyes and do something bizarre. why do they do that? what prompts a cat to run up and down the hall, chew up a plant, then do a backflip off of a couch? it's a wonderful mystery

W.I.P.

2011-01-15T03:02:00.000-08:00

quick cool down for the day, i don't quite enjoy drawing on a bamboo anymore. i'm ready for a Cyntiq workspace.

then instead of finishing, went and watched a bunch of random videos.

another Fraffle at Titmouse today (or yesterday) which was great, saw new episodes and projects, first finished episode of the project i've been working on was shown, someone brought in cookies which were delicious, i ate Lemongrass Vietnamese food.

did some drawings, watched a shitload of nonsense videos, amongst them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWTzWlMAt1Q

at least i wasn't playing minecraft?

2011-01-12T00:04:00.000-08:00

my home internet has been down since friday, but now that it's up again i am too sleepy to do anything right now. going to try to post later or this weekend.

since i didn't have internet to distract me, i cleaned and rearranged my room this weekend. i have 3 bookshelves now! they're not really assembled or hung or anything, but i have them!

so if you drop by, i hope you have a good week and hopefully i will post something before the end of the week.

goodnight

2011-01-03T22:59:00.001-08:00

trying out flash players and junk for blogger, so far found out about Google sites which are nice.

i don't want to get into coding, but maybe it would be worth learning? at least to have a little player ready to go...

oh, and the above is abit from a film i worked on for a friend for their thesis film. it can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MexMKn_VfWA

yea i know this film has been don't for several months, bleh....should have posted this info sooner.

in terms of any drawings coming up, i have alot of papers i should scan. tonight, though, i am cleaning my room a bit and tomorrow i am doing laundry. so not today or tomorrow, but soonish.

i did draw alot of stuff at a party newyearseve, but i forgot to grab them.

2010-12-31T01:21:00.000-08:00

still having some difficulty drawing, so i went through some of my folders and found this;

it was pretty much fully sketched, i don't know why i have so many unfinished things.

found ALOT of paper sketches as well but i really don't want to hook up the scanner.....meeeehhhhhh....so much effort...

it was late when i found this too, so i didn't color it, just lined it and filled in a couple missing bits.

i shouldn't have done that either, i have to get up early to go take care of some car business.

this is a weird drawing. i do like the feet and hands, it's just everything else in the middle is weird

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

2010-12-24T10:07:00.001-08:00

IT'S A DRAGON!

i have to go soon, b ut i had a little extra time to do something, so i made a shitty drawing.

is it floating and he's not sure about eating it, or is he spitting it out? i'll think about that later

2010-12-20T21:01:00.000-08:00

Titmouse Christmas party time. i drew a thing instead of doing karaoke.
his front feet look kind of floaty there...i should have fixed that probably

white elephant parties are always amazing.

2010-12-09T01:34:00.000-08:00

nope, haven't slept yet

INNER WARRIOR! last weeks topic on the Titblog, but i didn't get around to finishing it till now. getting used to drawing on a bamboo again...

and even my inner reptile hunting warrior needs glasses.

2010-12-08T22:08:00.000-08:00

HELLO AGAIN!

i offer this as a returning gift for what i hope will be a more productive year (in terms of blog postings)

(this was a test of a new paint setting in PS5, which is pretty cool despite being mostly impractical in a work setting)

and with the mention of new things, i have recently begun working at Titmouse Inc. it's been pretty awesome so far.

i've also moved to a new place recently and my room is still unorganized. so right now i am battling a dangerous urge to tidy and organize by posting this blog post then getting back to drawing.

but i really want to cleeeeeaann....

SO, if there isn't a blog post in a bit, i either started cleaning instead or forgot.

or went to sleep.

so yes.

i hope to be posting regularly very soon.

2010-08-14T23:09:00.000-07:00

i have not posted anything in a long time....

giving TV Paint another go, aaand... meh.

i drew the dog with my eyes closed because Ethan was making fun of me for some reason that i have forgotten.

alsoooo, this is great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu0qtEwb9gE

i love this video so much.

ehhhh, i have a bit more work to do so i will do that.

the only news other than that is i recently bought a bio-diesel compatible car and am visiting Canada next month. i love my car, and am looking forward to Canada very much.

i apologize for this dismal little scribble.

2010-03-18T20:57:00.000-07:00

i did something!

i maybe have some time i need to use up this weekend, hopefully that will work.

allan is so talented, he drew the amazing guy

2010-02-14T16:40:00.000-08:00

huh, i thought i posted this but i guess it didn't stick...

anyways-HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEARS

i guess; drawing this is the only really good thing that happened today. i think i will go home to try drawing some more now

2010-01-25T20:42:00.000-08:00

so suddenly i am a background artist. i thought it would be alot harder than it is, but i think i did okay today. learned quite a bit...

doing that also inspired me to finish some more things that have been floating around, like a couple of colorful RT monsters...

very colorful
i think i like designing and layout better than animation now, it's a little more relaxing, probably because i don't have to think about flash complications.

2010-01-14T22:11:00.001-08:00

found this in one of my folders and decided to wrap it up.

first off are a couple Rising Tide related things, the bug one i guess i never posted here, and the other is from a couple weeks ago-but i forgot to post it too.

i hope everybody had a good holiday, i sure did! 3 whole days of snow made me feel alot better...i think part of my drawing slump was not getting away from Burbank.

so today and the past few days i have been thinking more and more about the Fu dog and fish-monkey-blue guy, and even though work is looking a little overbearing this coming year, i want to try to finish a short film with them. at the least a little test. i have alot of other things i need to clear away first, but i still want to do it. so, here's hoping!

happy new year!!

i saw 3 whole days of snow, it was great and it was snowy!

here's hoping for a good year, and hopefully more drawings that aren't touchpad drawings

i am still having a tough time not only drawing but finishing anything i start drawing, so here are some rejected robots from "the space film" from my sketch book. i don't have a scanner, so i redrew a few of them in photoshop. it seems to be all i can muster for drawing, because i started several RT monsters and some dragons and can't seem to comfortably finish any...

2009-12-09T01:12:00.000-08:00

hang'n around at work....this new thing at work is about wrapped up, and i've been hanging around in case something needed some animation tweaking. whilst waiting, i drew this:
which is fanart for this: http://bestiario.org/web/media/19/preview/index.php?id_proyecto=19
then i did this, to see if i still knew how to use photoshop, because i have been animating in flash for about 5 days straight now. photoshop is a total breath of fresh air.

i also decided to start signing my work again, but i can't remember why i decided that...

okay, good night

2009-11-28T22:44:00.000-08:00

the coloring, the more i see it, is atrocious, but this was very very very very relaxing.....haaaaaaa..........

getting ready to go home so i can come back in to work tommorrow...or maybe i'll sleep here....hmmmmmmmm.......zzzzzzzzzzz........................

2009-11-28T19:22:00.000-08:00

surprisingly, it has not happened in 2 whole days (KNOCKONWOODKNOCKONWOODKNOCKONWOOD)

yes, have i ever mentioned how great Flash CS4 is? how nice and stable it is? how useful 3d rotation and bones are? i haven't? woah!

it gets the job done, though

2009-11-27T16:25:00.000-08:00

i really want to be drawing right now..... finishing the unfinished RT robot and drawing something more detailed than this:
work is completely spooky when nobody's here.... i haven't decided if it's just a naturally noisy building or if it's full of spooks.

i do love this weird brush i just found in Photoshop

back to work...

2009-11-22T18:51:00.000-08:00

the 48 Hour showcase was yesterday, and although the shorts were phenominal, it left me feeling extremely artistically frustrated (i think the combination of superior films coupled with my team's incomplete film tripled with having to work on a project i really don't want to work on today)

so...i took a moment to draw something i might try to animate in photoshop. i still am considerably intimidated by the notion, but i've been wanting to do it for a year.

but i don't know yet, i don't know quite where these are going and i still have at least 3 little projects set aside already and i should clear them up first.

oh yeah, and the 48 hour film...i'll link it when it gets finished, which may be soon.

2009-11-20T18:54:00.000-08:00

all of the things i've been drawingon the computer lately are dragons or various reptilia, have you noticed?

the top is my Left 4 Dead icon. the dragon was actually drawn in Flash several months ago, but i set it aside and forgot it.

i've only been drawing people this week and i'm thinking of buying a scanner for myself, the 48 hour film is about finalized-and the final thing will be shown tommorrow, going to a birthday party tonight, and working all weekend.

2009-11-18T20:20:00.000-08:00

was wrapping up 48 hour film stuff, buuuut.....yeah.

speedy scribble, i don't know what he is.

work is crazy and i haven't recovered from 48 hour films yet, so i haven't even had a chance to play Left 4 Dead 2 (probably tonight).

i will link the film once it's over and done, it has dinosaurs and the moon and a nerdy sun and kittens and violence and an eerily epically written sound track. yooooou will see.

2009-11-13T18:41:00.000-08:00

IT'S TIME!!!

had some time today for some drawing, and this is it.

hung out and saw alot of Calarts folks this week, that was cool. also bought Robocop 3 and Hotshots for cheaps, and saw Star Crash last night. Star Crash is awesome. i still can't figure out if the robot couldn't bend hus elbows because of the costume or because that was his acting choice as a robot.

there is also Rock Band at the office now. it is very very noisy...and lots of fun.

2009-11-05T19:33:00.000-08:00

qiuckness for monthies, which may (more than likely) be going to go on a little break. probably not forever, but a good piece of time since everybody is preoccupied

2009-10-31T18:38:00.000-07:00

happy halloween!

possibly going to Santa Monica or to a Candy-Movie party....ooor even to see The Room.

halloween costumes i've seen so far are Tommy from the room, a guy from Twin Peaks, Meg from Hercules, and the guy from Die Hard, and a priest i don't recognize

2009-10-30T19:34:00.001-07:00

hi yall! i actually have been drawing alot lately, but it's all for secrety-work stuff, so i am sorry to say i may not be posting for quite some time. but here is this amusing drawing of a stegasaurus!

maybe for this month i will tell you about my week instead of posting drawings! like today, i am going to someone's birthday and tommorrow a Halloween party which will be fun. On tuesday, my dying cell phone was finally put to rest by the Washing machine, which marks the end of like...my 7th phone now. the previous phones have been stollen, mysteriously lost, broken prior to my having them, or dropped in puddles or exploding soda cans. this new one will hopefully not have to suffer such fates, but looking at previous events...

this week i watched 2001 Space Odyssey and Mind Game, and i very much like and hardly understand both. i would like to read the 2001 books...

i am also trying to not play Left 4 Dead for the whole week. i've gotten pretty far, but the coworkers make it pretty tough.

lastly, last weekend i had a "big" road trip to the Mojave preserve as well as the Arizona State line (we didn't have enough time to get into AZ unfortunately). it was extremely stress relieving, and maybe i will post the photos once i get them scanned, that way you can see some sand dunes, some crazy kids on a bunch of rocks, Terrence and Marti.
the one weird thing about the desert is it is full of tires, glass, and panties. i am not sure what makes it a good place to dump your undergarments...

now i hope everybody has a good halloween and weekend and a next week! i will try to manufacture some non-work-drawings if i can...

2009-10-18T18:38:00.001-07:00

something, i dunno...

going to see Where the Wild Things Are soon, maybe i will get some inspiration?

2009-10-18T01:08:00.000-07:00

also, in the act of redesigning/organizing my blog, this was briefly entertaining.
i apologize for how unprofessional my blog layout is right now, but i am sleepy and must return to fix it later

oh yeah! tonight i went to see the Girls Drawing Girls show at Hayena(or some other spelling?) and hung out with Calarts chums and got some coffee at a mexican restaurant whilst purchasing 2 small canvas paintings of delicious meats. i am going to hang them on my wall! i also bought a magnetic Jesus Dressup, so that i may have more magnets for my fridgidaire! and tommorrow(or today i guess) i hope to see Where the Wild Things Are to top off a fine weekend.

in other past events (which i always forget to report) i saw Zombieland which was awesome and i bought the Metroid Prime Trilogy...which i really shouldn't have because i 1: technically have the trilogy and 2: find it highly distracting from spare-time-drawing/working.

i also need to catch up on some drawing and painting i actually need to get out of the way, but there are no places to buy nice paints here in Burbank-that is unless i am missing a brilliant art store near by??? maybe?

2009-10-18T00:51:00.000-07:00

i've definitely hit some kind of art block, so this is all i got: a couple of Monster Blog sketches can't quite seem to finish...or start

and then this was a left-hand-lunch sketch. bonus Calarts points if you can name the guy there.
the clowny-guy is actually a coworkers drawing, so i can't take any credit for that guy.

i feel obligated to post something that's not Fanart i guess. and i think i'm gonna change my layout again soon.

2009-10-11T21:34:00.000-07:00

i'm still going to keep the pokemon blog separate though.

2009-10-11T21:29:00.000-07:00

so i folded my fanart blog, because i just have too many blogs going (and i also decided to take the layout and apply it to this one) so here is some fanart spam from the past half a year

more in the second post...

2009-10-09T20:17:00.001-07:00

monster blog!

2009-10-08T20:35:00.000-07:00

something random and Monthies (there's Marti again...)
i'm gonna do my monthies this month!!!

2009-10-07T20:20:00.000-07:00

soooo here is a game joke tied with an inside joke/project that'll be out and about soonish.

Marti is a marshmallow dispenser who just wants to give people marshmallows, but nobody wants them...
and then i was trying to do something serious and productive, but i've been a little artblocked lately, so...yeah, Marti appeared again...

i'll put something else there later i guess
