Well, blog, long time no see. How have you been?

I've been pretty good. I just got a new laptop recently. It's the greatest! My fish almost chocked on a rock today. I had to pull it out with a pair of tweezers. But now she's fine.
Oh, yeah, and I'm also totally freaking out about Double Fine's new game, Brutal Legend
I even made a wallpaper for my new laptop using some of the concept art they had on the site. It's pretty rad, at least, as far as I'm concerned.

I have a few more pictures for you blog. I hope you enjoy them! An original dude of mine.
It's a G man from Psychonauts. I thought I'd put together two great games.
Count Bleck from Super Paper Mario. Another one of my paper collages.

Well, catch ya later blog!

I didn't even have to camp out!

July 2nd BITCHES!
I giggled all the way out to the car.
NUMBAH WUN! WHOOOOO!

I don't think anyone even knows about the early showing around here. I just showed up today to ask when they'd be selling tickets, since I heard people here saying their theaters were already doing it.
Then I saw the sign and they said they were selling them for the 2nd right now. So I bought 2, and lo and behold, I got the first 2 tickets!

Because everyone needs some sort of random crap hanging on their wall.

It's meee!

2007-04-07T06:18:00.000-07:00

I’m going to go and see the TMNT movie again today.
It’s pretty beautiful out today, too bad the temperature isn’t reflecting that. *sigh
It should be warm out, it is April for crying out loud. Oh well.
Oh look, it’s a picture of me. My ID for my Deviant Art page.
I have no neck, yes. And my Shadow is a dark, floaty, shadow being.

Hey, go see a movie...

2007-04-01T19:33:00.000-07:00

Like TMNT... because it's really awesome.
Here's some art, for old time's sake...

Paper Milla's Dance party! A paper collage piece. This is Milla, from the most excellent game Psychonauts.

Paper Monster dance party... Maybe Milla should join them. Oh man, I bet that would be a rocking party! These guys are totally original! Whoo.

Paper Optimus Prime. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Optimus is obviously a Transformer.

It’s Link from the Legend of Zelda. I used my paper collage technique to make all of these pictures.
I’ve really improved since the last time I’ve updated you, my sweet little blog. I've missed you.

Let's never fight again!

Jack Sparrow is a fricking PIMP!

2006-07-10T12:42:00.000-07:00

If you haven't seen that movie, stop reading this right now, hop in your car and go see it, NOW!

Transformers movie anyone?
Looks awesome, and I can't wait until next year. I'm totally going to geek out all over the place!

I'm almost done with Metro Arts. We made a children's book about junk in our area. It's not that interesting unless you live here. I'll upload some pictures later.

Until then, here's an alien I made.

Long time no blog

2006-06-13T11:20:00.000-07:00

Yes, with the absence of decant internet I've been a bit absent of late myself.
Hopefully my computer shall stop being a cow and let me upload something.

Not much to report.
I got some pet rats. I'll get to see my dad finally after a year. I started the Metro Arts program and pretty much run the show. LOLZ, just joking.
I'm going to start work on my Psychonauts inspired outfit soon, I hope. I'm really psyched! I've got all the fabric, I just have to make it... And all the accessories... Like a stuffed turtle. ^___^x

Damn, this is a little bit old.

Le sigh The final day...

2006-05-02T09:29:00.000-07:00

With good internet. *cries*
I'm going home for good today. I'm done with all my finals and I'm ready for summer. However, with going home I'm losing some of the best internet I've ever had. I don't wanna go back to DIAL UP!
So anyway, I'm certain to be on the internet a lot less... and my new found love, my art blog.

Next week sometime I'm probably going to start working at Game Stop again. *squeee* And then later this summer work at Metro Arts... hopefully. I don't know if they picked me yet, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. Let's just say the interview went well, and Jim (the interviewer dude) talked me into applying for a senior job instead of just the pee-on job. lolz.

Anyway, I'm going to have a busy summer, and hopefully if I have time, and my computer/internet doesn't shit all over me I will be adding more pictures. YAY!

Well, I hope for the best for everybody and have a great time this summer!

And what is summer without a little fishing?
Done with watercolor and pen.

Illo. Friday... Under the sea

2006-05-01T07:41:00.000-07:00

Done with watercolors.

And that's about it...

2006-05-01T05:07:00.000-07:00

Today I go through my many finals. I'm not worried about Art or English...But Math and Ethics are another story. I've already pretty much made it up in my mind that I've failed those classes...I just hope I'm wrong. I can't wait to get out of this shit hole!

I had my interview at Metro Arts and I think it went really well! At first I was just going in as just a regular apprentice, but when I was being interviewed, Mr. Allan wanted me to be a senior apprentice... He said it was because of the outstanding leadership skills I had last year. So, yeah, I'm uber excited now! I'll get paid like 200 dollars extra now...so that makes a paycheck of 500 dollars, YEAH!

Then on Friday, the great ACen starts! I can't wait!

Well, here's just a random old picture for youse guys...
About 3 years old, and I won like 3 ribbons on it in an art competition. [print]

Another day closer to freedom...

2006-04-27T11:29:00.000-07:00

At least until school starts again next fall....BLEH!

Just something more to put in my blog. I don't really have anything new so this will have to do. I did this about a year ago. The scan couldn't do it justice, sadly.
This looks really cool under a black light. I used watercolors and black light paint. Twas much fun, yes. It's one of my most favorite pictures. And then there's my Psychic Bear... Good old psychic bears. Another one of the many reasons to play Psychonauts. BLARG! PSYCHIC BEARS!
This was on my friend's front door... and then he took it down....now I don't know where it is. Poo poo.
Oh well, I guess.
Hmm.... I'm trying to think of something else to say.
Oh yeah, moving's a bitch.

Illustration Friday's challenge?

2006-04-25T10:52:00.000-07:00

I'm not quite sure what this is, but this kidd seems to think I should join in...so, here's my robot! LOLZ. He's so happy!
I did this in about 5 min...with crayons. I must be back tracking or something.
Damn, that's one shitty scan. I'm not to sure how to fix it... crayons must be to light to show very well... oh well, it's just a doodle.

[EDIT]Ok, ok...Here's a better one! Awww, he's giving himself a hug!

Damn I love this show!

2006-04-25T09:27:00.000-07:00

Just a music vid I found on YouTube. I just love the music they used, and it's timed so well!
Avatar the last Airbender is one of the best shows on TV right now. I only watch TV two times a week, once for Avatar, and then for Ghost Hunters. Hey! That would be cool if I could find some Ghost Hunters on YouTube... I'ma gonna check!

Damn... Nope, just some stupid music videos that make no sence. They've got music like someone from the show died or something.

Doodle-Do

2006-04-23T18:16:00.000-07:00

I got some new crayons today, yes, I said crayons. They're these neat new "Twistables, Slick Stix" kind, and man, are they sweet! Needless to say I've been playing with them all day!

Yep. Good times, good times.

LOLZ!

2006-04-21T04:58:00.000-07:00

I'm so giddy! I get to go home today for the weekend... And I actually got a comment on my blog. *tee hee* It's funny how something so little can make you happy.But it was also a comment from someone super cool.
Anyway, here's another one of those cut out paper pictures. This time it's Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Whoo.

Makes me smile...

2006-04-20T12:17:00.000-07:00

I was shuffling through some of my drawings from last year and ran across this. I still think it's adorable! [Print]

Art Blog.....WHOOO!

2006-04-20T08:14:00.000-07:00

Yeah, that's right, hitch me up to the popular bandwagon, I guess I'm in for the ride.

Well, It's my first ever Blog... Every one else seems to think they're so great, so why not.And I guess it's a good place to put the pictures I'm most proud of...

This is Agent Sasha Nein from the most excellent game Psychonauts!
I made this by cutting out different types of paper.

This is yet another fan art from Psychonauts. This time I've drawn some Nightmares.

This is my own design... The Graffiti Reaper

That's all for now I guess. You can check out the website for the designers of the Psychonaughts game here-> Double Fine And it turns out that my favorite artist from Double Fine also has an art blog! Scott C. Totally awesome! ^__^x
