For my last 2 days off I decided to go on a mini trip to Hangzhou, which is quite a large touristy place with a nice history and lots to draw. SOmehow though when I got there I just wasn't as inspired to draw as I thought I would be so my sketches are pretty bleh and not many. And craaapp...I'm reverting back to scribbley scribbley as opposed to the new clean lines Sheridan taught me to draw. Gotta work on my short pose life drawing.

And yeah, had a TON of fun with the painting. Going to make many more like it I think. Working in acrylics as watercolour is quite fun.

I've been drawing lots but a bit too lazy to update my blog so here ya goes. Enjoy!

I'm DONE!

I don't have too much to say here, but after months of procrastination, I sat down for 16 hours straight to redo and finish my site! My favorite design so far. CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT!

Licky Fun Time & My First Published Shit!

So I originally wanted to call this entry "F%&$ This SH$%" but decided against it as my busy working weekend did improve near the end. The above illustration depicts an average shit day of work, and no, I am not really exaggerating any facts in this picture. There was a kid hanging off by his teeth on my arm, and a bunch of girls who hug you all class, and the kids who make other kids cry and...ugh. Kids. So innocent and yet so devilish. But they provide excellent inspiration and I learn something new from them every day I guess. And is that shirt not amazing??? I don't actually own it but have seen about 2 walking around town and really want to find it. Yes Engrish. I'll find an actual scanner to make this image worthwhile as my camera yet again decided to screw me over..Any who on to bigger news! Dun Dun DUn.....

Ta DA!!! "Applied Arts" Magazine released an article about Sheridan Fundies and featured my ugly mug and some of my work and an interview!!My first um..press release I suppose. I'm pretty pissed off at myself for submitting those particular pieces as samples of my work cause in retrospect they are still kinda meh.

An Update from China!

Hey everyone! Haven't updated in over a month so I figured I'd let all of you know what I'm up to. None of these sketches are really finished except the last one, but I figure it's better than posting nothing? Unfortunately even though I do have plenty of time, I haven't spent a lot of it drawing as people are still getting to know me, taking me out, coming over, etc. Not much time to myself yet really. But I had a few quiet days where I went on a hike to a giant ass mountain 20 minutes away, brought my watercolours and sat there sketching for a while (last image). I haven't yet built up the courage to do the same in the city, especially as every time I stop, someone pulls out their cellphone camera and it gets pretty damn annoying. But overall life is interesting as one of the only foreigners in Taizhou. My city, Huangyan, is only about 1 million, the teaching job is...heh, a job, and the lonely life kicks ass. Now I have to kick my ass in shape to keep up with all my talented friends in animation!

pr: sorry for the blurry quality but my camera is not the best and I don't have a scanner here that works well..

The Daily Life

So now that my pre-China prep is going smoothly and Im down to shopping more or less, I've had lots of time in between waiting to meet people, riding the subway and buses, and just wandering around and trying my hand at water colour sketching which is one of the styles I want to use for an illustration book of China I want to make during this year. Or at least Taizhou where I will be living. A week and a half left till a new life begins! Which means no updates for a while until I can buy a scanner over there. I'll put up some more stuff before I bail I promise!
Major apologies on my current scanner, it sucks as when im scanning anything other than printer paper...

Because I Suck

So..I have no new revolutionary art to show,as I am working my ass off coding my new site, so here are some of my last life drawing sketches from Sheridan (yes I snuck into costume extra life) and WIPs. Enjoy!
