SKETCHBOOK BATTLE!!

Yo. I took pics of a bunch of my pages that I have done so far for the Blackbook Beatdown, son! Peep that! Gangsta typin' right now for no reason.

I did this a couple weeks ago but I just put it onto cd then onto the computer and did all that fancy conversion-ness to get it onto soundcloud and the blog. SO enjoy. IN OTHER NEWS...the digi-recorder has this plastic scrolling piece...and it is now dysfunctional which practically renders the device USELESS as there is NO WAY to perform certain actions such as audio scrubbing, scrolling easily through tracks, SELECTING VIRTUAL TRACKS FOR MIXING(!!!!HUGE!!!) and lots of other stuff. SO...GIANT SAD FACE.

Time Well Spent

What's up?! I chilled in the Anatomy class yesterday, then I went to a couple hours of the workshop afterwords. It allowed me to draw in many different mind states. Everything from warming up and feeling all rusty, drawing while casually talking, getting silently into the zone, feeling like I suck ass, deliriously making sloppy lines to experimenting and possibly getting lucky...

So I was hoping you all could help me out and tell me which pose YOU like best! And oh yeah...I posted something I did in my sketchbook for fun the other day...

Oh and just so you know, there is one drawing in ink that Sheff did to help me out on a pose! Thanks Sheff!

I also uploaded some stuff from my Designing Comics class with Jerry Miller. He is an awesome teacher. Very professional and serious but he gives super helpful critiques and he isn't boring! There are also a couple pages from my sketchbook that I am still working on.

Some things I recorded last month. Check it.

KA-BLAMMO!!

Here's how my pages are looking for the sketchbook battle so far. Some random sketching, a Basil Gogos master copy, a landscape of a photo I took, a bunch of equipment and this dude Arthur Lake who was around in the Zephyr days of Dogtown. I had to tape in a piece of paper to finish the deck on this one. I touched up the page with Bruce a little bit so I took another shot. I still have space to fill on the one with the guy and the lamp post. I wanted it to be observations only...but anyway...the requirement is 50 and I've almost got a good five going after the first week. FULL STEAM AHEAD!

Goodie Bag

Here is a mix of random things I have done lately. I entered the sketchbook battle and have begun my first actual page. I did some comic assignments in class and decided to post those. Then there is a birthday gift that I painted for a friend. Very experimental stuff there. And Oh yeah I need to add these two stupid things...

Breaking - By David Michael Thomas

I recorded this song last month and I have always been wondering if there is some easy way to post audio tracks onto my blog or any website for people to listen to...well thanks to my homie SAREone it finally hit me in the side of the face! So check it suckas!

...uhpdate!

Yo. Did some sketches in my new sketchbook. Walking Dead studies, and some rocking pics of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez from The Mars Volta, one of my favorite guitarists/bands ever. Scanned a couple things I forgot to post from my old sketchbook, and uploaded another Flash short that I did for fun.

Uh...

Yo. I've just been taking it easy this break. I did some random paintings and I bought some new materials to mess around with. I used one of those Faber Castell Brush Pens for that couple with the orange background. I took some pictures at the park and decided I would try to paint some trees. I don't do landscapes much...it's all weird and sloppy. I also got started painting one of the life drawings from my sketchbook onto canvas. And then just for fun, (even though I did these weeks ago) here are some Flash lip-sync experiments.
