As promised

2010-11-03T01:53:00.000-03:00

Hooray another update! This particular drawing is for Lauren and was inspired by an old lady at Subway. I've never seen anyone so excited about Subway like that old lady was. Frig she was hilarious. My hand hurts from facebook tetris so that's as far as i got with this drawing. And now... for some much needed sleep.

Thanks to all who voted for me! I got honorable mentions! It's a little disappointing to not even win a mouse pad, but I appreciate all the help from everyone. Particularly: Lauren, Alex, Kristy, Garrett, Mira, Ben, Damian, Kuya, Andrew, Tom, Ken Ken, Jeremy, and whoever else helped promote my poster through their blogs, and facebook.

Here's another pretty picture as a token of my appreciation.

another sketchy sketch... still at work... gonna go home now...

2010-07-05T14:00:00.000-03:00

trying to sketch with blocks of colour instead of sketchy line drawing... gotta perfect a good way to tighten my paintings without having a too refined look. maybe i'll experiment with different brushes next time.

All packed and ready to go!

2010-06-30T12:17:00.002-03:00

gonna move to a different apartment tomorrow! what a great way to spend the holiday! hahaha. actually it's not so bad. i'm really looking forward to it. goodbye smokey apartment and hello non-smoking apartment! i wont be next door to the thai food restaurant tho which is the biggest downside. i'll have to walk a good 5 minutes to get there now. XD

the new layout is a fresh start. it's definitely got a ways to go still tho. i've got more ideas i want to implement. it's hard to work on the blog when i don't really have a computer. stupid broken laptop. i mean... it works and all but the gpu is so effed that i can't do much... the screen is so dark and my poor monitor is all by its lonesome. anyway hope everyone likes the updates. happy Canada Day! and happy birthday to my Tita Mila.

Blogging Again

2010-04-24T11:58:00.001-03:00

So anyways... i got a sweet new monitor and its colours don't suck hard. So now.. i'm gonna try to digital paint moarrrr. It's been a while so i posted an old low poly 3d thing i worked on a few months back. The other thing is just a quick 10 min sketch which i'll probably keep working on. It also serves the purpose of testing a new project i'm working on (more on that later). Anyway. Enjoy! More to come.

Life Drawing

2009-09-04T21:06:00.000-03:00

My coworker Katelyn mentioned a place 20 minutes outside of Charlottetown that does life drawing. It was fun life drawing again, but i'm really rusty. Poses were 10-30min long so i experimented with the same pose 2-5 minutes at a time. Only a 2 hour session tho which is kinda short but, i'm glad to get this going again. Probably gonna go again next week!

2009-07-30T16:41:00.001-03:00

Just a doodle. Felt like this page needed some art. Even tho it's just a doodle. It's raining in Charlottetown right now but that's okay!

Gotta keep posting

2009-05-06T02:17:00.000-03:00

Been relaxing at home quite a bit... haven't drawn in a while since i had to unpack and set up my workspace again... still haven't completely organized my stuff. here's a wip to keep myself posting... just a thumbnail for now... i wonder how everyone else is doing with all this free time.

Cleaning day

2009-05-01T14:44:00.000-03:00

time to get packing... and cleaning out everything. so much stuff to clean! so much stuff to pack! it feels weird not having anything to work on... so i'll just keep busy with some drawrings.
