GNAW AT YOUR FACE!

I'm always so late with finding out about certain things...movies...comics...break-ups...and music...but MAINLY music. I just found out about this Danger Mouse and Cee-lo project Gnarls Barkeyl...MAN, is it awesome. If you're late in finding out stuff like me, I definately suggest checking them out.

This was just something I did to eat up some time at work...I'm still not great at getting the likeness of a person down just using these simple shapes though...ah well.

Odd Couple.

Although I've got ALL these great pictures and things to post up...I have yet to get around to it. I'm terrible about that sometimes. Anyway, this is something that I'd been messing around with at work and just thought I'd put it up.
I thought they were neat cause they're sorta the two "extremes" i take my drawings alot of times. Still though...I could have sworn the colors looked alot different before I made it a jpeg...CURSE THIS LCD~!!

Hopefully I'll load some more stuff tomorrow.

Man, that's alot of walking...

So, I didn't get to post it as soon as I'd hoped but here's the stuff I did on my rather short "sketchcrawl" around atlanta. As I figured, everybody ended up canceling...whimps. Anyway, I kinda like how some of them came out but I think I need to start useing more pain on my brush...everything still looks really washed out.

I thought I was doing pretty good at this point, but I still think I was trying to get to many details and not enough mood...or something.







Honestly I wasn't trying the whole pen over watercolor thing at first but when I'd finished this one with the city scape and I couldn't tell WHAT the heck I was drawing I figured I'd try it out...I'd seen a couple of other people work this this, namely Alina Chau, course I'm not nearly as good.














By the end of the day I think I'd been walking around town for about 7 hours...I was sorta lazy to of been around for that long and only done THIS much drawing. I think next time I need to pick a better section of town that has more stuff to catch my attention.

What's all the Fuss about?

So, this post is two things...one, it's a lesson to me that I need to find a way to calibrate my monitor at work before it's to late...my colors are coming out ALL wrong...and two, I just figured I'd post up something. These are two popular fellas from two different shows that are probably going to be the talk of many a "fan-boy" as to who could beat who. If you don't know who they are I won't bore you with details. Anyway, I always felt it was funny that they oddly enough look alike...just one's older then other. Oh well...

This is going to be one FUN weekend...I hope.

I'm SO excited for this saturday...actually, this whole weekend (including Monday, oddly enough) is going to be so exciting. Saturday is the start of what I hope will be a long running of "SketchCrawls" here in Georgia. I'd finally talked a couple of friends to joining me out to just walk around town and draw. It's going to be hot, it's going to be long...I'm hoping it's going to be a blast. I'll admit, the fact that this isn't San Franciso will probably make it less then AMAZING as very little happens in Georgia unless it's planned well in advance, but...who cares?...It should be fun all the same. I'm hoping to have batteries and a bigger memory card for my camera for saturday so as to have a couple of pictures of the whole thing.

Course, I'm sure ALOT of people are going to cancel last minute as usual.

But that's okay, cause if saturday doesn't go as well as I'd hoped, Monday will make up for it. Jetix is apparently premiereing "Oban: Star Racer" and I can't wait. Originally it was a concept show that a french studio called Sav! The World (http://savtheworld.com/) came up with...and I'll tell yah...when I say what they show was ORIGINALLY going to look like I was drooling all over my keyboard.



Sadly, as it happens sometimes, the concept was far greater then what was possible. The studio later decided that making the show 2D would save money and time. Of course I can understand but...DAMN, what a let down. Oh well, I've been waiting to see if the show is actually at all any good and if they can still blow my mind away even without everything being 3D (now only the vehicles and backgrounds during the races are computer generated)...



I tell yah what though...it STILL looks pretty good from what I'm seeing.
