Projects

I took some time this week to start packing up my studio for the move. There are something's I will not be able to take to Texas with me. It sucks but I can sacrifice some studio space for a new place and new people. I also took the time to work a few projects.

I finally painted my longboard. I used the idea of the yellow bird that I did an illustration of not too long ago. Over all if think it turned out great.

I also started on a new painting of "The Gods". I did not like how the illustration on paper was turning out so I took the old painting of the god of capitalism and sprayed over it. So far I just have the layout and figures sketched out.

Finally I did a quick sketch of my comic characters in pen. I like the raw look of the gesture type sketch. I did not use pencil by I wanted to see how they would look just sketched out in pen.

Busy Bee

The past month has been rather crazy. I started taking two online courses. One is on the basics of adobe creative suite. I have a basic understanding of illustrator, photoshop, and indesign, so so far it's pretty easy. I'm looking foreword to learning how to use flash and dream weaver. The other class is on advertising and public relations. It's pretty self explanatory and basic common sense knowledge of how advertising works.

Besides that Jackie and I have been trying to figure out if we can make a move down to Houston, TX. We are both excited about being somewhere new, somewhere that provides opportunities for us to grow (unlike the town we are in). Hopefully we can both find jobs down there pretty soon.

So take all the excitement of college classes and trying to move, on top of the joys of living in our place, makes for a rather hectic month. By joys I mean utter frustration. We've had to have our furnace worked on twice and something happened either with the electrical or the Directv box that caused two TVs to fry. Fun stuff to say the least.
