I'm such a Bum.

I'm really bad at being consistant with posting stuff. Lately I've been such a bum about doing work. I've been chilling out since it's technically my vacation. Mostly catching up on video games. I played through Uncharted 1 and 2 this past week. Those games are awesome. They also kept me from working on Name Game... which is not too awesome.

What has also kept me distracted is this..





That's right. After months of planning I FINALLY built my PC. This little baby includes, AMD Phenom II Cpu, Radeon HD SAPPHIRE Vapor-X graphics card, 8GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws RAM all incased in a sexy NZXT case. I call it the Citadel Core. I can't wait to start animating and gaming on this thing. Unfortunetly I'm still waiting on a friend to get me a copy of Windows 7 so I'm running a crappy copy of XP. But at least it's built. As you can see it's hard at work loading all my games on Steam..

Oh and here's some art too. I don't know what they are yet, but they'll be something soon.

Christmas 2010

23 inches. Santa did good this year.

Brainwasher

The past few weeks have been a lot of work. Finals, moving back to New York and other random shenanigans.. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Daft Punk. I think it's mostly due to Tron: Legacy... which was enjoyable.. Not the best movie but enjoyable enough. In fact Daft Punk is pretty much what got me through finals all together. But now things have finally calmed down a bit and I'm ready for Christmas.

Here are just some random sketches of what I did when I should have been working on said finals.




And some dragons because.. well I just saw How to Train Your Dragon for the first time not too long ago.





Also on a side note, I just saw my favorite band, As Tall As Lions, perform their last show ever. They are breaking up which makes me super sad because they were one of my biggest influences as an artist. They are also from Long Island, which warms my heart in all sorts of ways. So just when I thought nothing of worth could come from this god forsaken island (since Teddy Roosevelt) I can breathe a sigh of relief whilst I listen to them.

This is my favorite song by them, Ghost of York. Everyone should listen to them.. EVERYONE.

My Brain Hurts..

Finals have been kicking my ass in all sorts of ways... but there have been a few ups here and there. The two highlights I believe have been seeing the movie Tangled (which was shockingly amazing) and watching a lecture by Sir Ken Robinson about Divergent thinking. He's a smart cookie, that one..



Thanks Sir Robinson.





And in case anyone was wondering....

A Thanksgiving Moose

This Thanksgiving was a rather odd one. Normally my mom, my sisters and myself drive 4 hours to upstate New York where we have a home made Thanksgiving dinner with my Uncle and cousins. This year my sister and I joined my Dad. That was fine, but we went out to eat a restaurant. I wasn't too happy about that... but at least I got to draw the moose head hanging over the fireplace while we waited at the bar.


Drawings I did at home while watching Spiderman.. I'm getting too excited for some of these new super hero movies coming out.



Sack Boy faces!



Life Drawing stuff

Anticipation

I can't wait to go home again. Baltimore is a crappy city with all of its crime and parking tickets.. New York is the place to be.

I have a stupid Scanner....

Sorry it's been a while. The scanner part of my printer decided to stop reading to my computer a little while ago... just the scanner part, not the printer... I don't get it either..

Anyway, here's some sketchbook stuff that's been piling up since late October.


Some stuff for my Life Drawing Project. Text is from "Letters to a Young Poet" By Rainer Maria Rilke. If you haven't read that book yet, do it. Everyone should.






Bird Studies



Other Various Doodles...










More soon to come! I don't have much time to wait for Blogspot to take forever to load pictures so I'll load the rest later. More Name Game sketches are coming too.
