ZOMBIES ATE MY DOG, WHO ATE MY HOMEWORK

These 9 pictures are the pages from my second comic book assignment. We had more freedom then the first project. Let me know what you think. Oh, and have the merriest Christmas. Be safe you any of you are traveling.

HOLY MOLELY

It's all over folks. This kid is no longer matriculating. The day of Graduation seemed like any other day to me at first. When I started telling people I work with that I was graduating that day I received hugs and handshakes from everyone. Then it finally hit me that this was a pretty important day and high acheivement.

The Ceremony didn't take too long and it was fun joking with the Design kids before and after. Then I ate dinner with my family and God family which is always a hilarious time of joking and sharing stories. And then they gave me my graduation gift. It was amazing. They gave me the entire Ghostbuster cartoon collection on DVD in this sweet firehouse box. Literally, I can not think of a better gift to an ex-obsessed Ghostbuster fan. I only say ex because most of my Ghostbuster toys are lost or broken, and I don't have the time to devote to creating sweet ghoulish Ghostbuster senerios anymore. I'll post some old pictures of me in my Ghostbuster jumpsuit.

After that Paige and I watched "Lost" with another couple. We are almost through Season 2 now; very exciting.

THEN, Paige and I met up with another friend to watch "Hook" at the Palace. The movie is great, but what made it even more funny was the over-weight man snoring during all the quiet parts. He would wake up during the fight scenes, but as soon as the volume came down, and the actors were talking in serious tones it was like, "Que the snoring." Everytime. At the end of the movie the whole theater was cracking up over this guy's habitual snoring. I would have said something since I happened to be the closest to him, but he keeped making me laugh.

Saturday was the annual White Elephant gift exchange with my family. This has become a very competitive fun game for us. In fact, it's an art. Our Grandmother always hids a $20.00 bill in an indiscrimant object, while other put in good gifts and duds. Not to mention we have two reacurring gifts that come back every year. One is a ceramic pig and another fairly recent one is this softcore video. The video was hidden within a "Batman: The Dark Knight" DVD case which Paige ended up with. What a huge letdown. Getting your hopes up to getting the sweetest movie of the year only to find out it's 80's porn.

Sunday was also amazing. Paige and ate dinner with a friend I met this semester in my Team Sports class. We met a larger group to see "Seven Pounds." The movie was great and it turns out one of the larger group of people was an old close friend of mine I haven't seen in a year or so. Suffice to say this weeked was awesome, completely blessed by God.


A is for Adam and Adam is an official graduate suckas

THE END OF AN ERA

The night I have longed for several times through my college career, the last night of project making. I'm putting the fine tunes on my comic book projects to turn in tomorrow for my LAST FINAL EVER. Well, I'm sure it's not ever. I'll probably go back to school later because I really enjoy school and expanding my brain. 

I graduate on Friday and it is weird. 

A is for Adam and Adam is running off of 8 hours of sleep in the last 2 days

PAST MEMORIES AND NEW INSIGHT

Hello all. first, the quick ink drawing I did was to loosen up my tight style. I have a feeling I have a lot more work to do to do that.

Second, I've had a great week. I had the chance to connect and catch up with an old friend. His name is Victor and he is the bomb. He's the most loving individual you will ever met.

Also, something very exciting has happened. My cousin the famous Las Vegas lounge singer Chance Thompson is selling a personalized, autographed photo of himself on e-bay. I believe the funds are going to a charity for Christmas. So check him out at this LINK.

A is for Adam and Adam is ready for school to be over

"LET IT RAIN!"

First, and foremost, I am trying to keep a consistant blog now by posting past work and current projects. I originally set up this blog to document my quest of drawing everyday during the summer.

The works I am posting today I did sometime ago in my Design 250, a.k.a. Self-Portrait class. And yes, I do think of myself as a lion. This is the class where I fell in love with scratchboard and pen and ink. Incidentally, the two mediums I hated the most in High School. There's some pastel work and colored pencil, but the fav for me is pen and ink.

Last night my girlfriend, mother, foreign exchange student, and I went to see The Hughes Family perform Christmas songs at the local Mormon Church last night. No one from my group is Mormon, but Paige's family is. They were fantastic. It's a family of five (only four were there) and it was angelic. Also, we heard SIX perform the day before and they were amazing too.

Who out there has odd family traditions? Send me a comment. I want to see if your family is as weird as mine.

A is for Adam and Adam wants Christmas cookies in the shape of a pine tree, with and without frosting.

"MY ABSENCE DOTH NEGLECT NO GREAT DESIGN"

Merry Christmas all. Well, tonight was my family's annual Christmas ornament hanging time. The cutie is my girlfriend the one and only Elizabeth Paige B. The blonde is my Sis who is a Graphic Designer. The dude is her husband who I caught with an old, confused man look on his face. 

The other picture is a Lithograph I just finished in my printmaking class. Lithography is a pretty sweet medium. It's messy, but sweet. The drawing is not of my own concoction. The artist who drew it is Rafael Grampa. The man is a visual genius in my opinion. 

Congratulations to my friend Matt Gallion and his new wife Hillary. Sorry I could not be there to celebrate with you guys. Goodnight.

A is for Adam and Adam's mind is on inner growth and finals

HIATUS

Sorry. Here's my first project for my comic book class. It is a folk tale about a buzzard. Who doesn't like folk tales about buzzards?

A is for Adam and Adam is back.

BLOG

It's late, and this is me eating my intestines. Yep.

A is for Adam and Adam is forgetful, a lot. 

Here are some things I am working on. With school I am not going to continue a drawing a day like I have been. Instead I will post my sketches and final projects from school. These illustrations are preliminary pen and ink drawings for LifePoint Church's new website that will be up and running in a week or two.

A is for Adam and Adam hates allergies. In fact, he wishes they would dissolve into a misrable, groesome death

IT IS THE TIME FOR...

First off, I wanted to note I have the coolest girlfriend. One, because yesterday we had to go into the Mall. I hate going to the Mall because there's too much going on and I get distracted and disconnected easily. But before we walked in Paige and I decided to speak in accents. She had a British accent and I butchered a New Zealand accent. We definitely turned some heads and woke people up from the drone of their jobs. If anyone asked we were going to tell them I was raised by Australian missionaries and we meet on a mission trip, fell madly in love, and the rest is history. 

Two, she is a helpmate that I can see myself with forever.

The top image is a scan from the current issue of CMYK. The image featured is from my best friend from the Design Department Ben Grove. The dude is amazing and he did this piece like two years ago and he has only gotten better at it. He currently works in St. Louis with Cannonball. The dude is a hotty so ladies if you are in that area check him out.

Here are a few drawings to wet your whistle. Last night our new foreign exchange students came over for dinner. My family hosts two foreign exchange students and take them out to eat, watch movies, and chat it up with some crazy good tea. They are two very sweet Chinese girls. 

School starts again for the last time for me tomorrow.

A is for Adam and Adam is centered but unfocused (which is changing)

THE VOTES ARE IN!!!

Thank you all (one person) who participated in my little contest. My friend Matt Gallion who got the question right. In return he requested to have a picture of a militant penguin invading the camp of supposedly superior polar bears. There you go Matt, I hope you enjoy it. 

The Lion picture was inspired by the collaborative comic book "5." It is named so because five different artists put the piece together. The are artists are as follows: Becky Cloonan, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba, Rafael Grampa, and Vasilis Lolos. It's a fast read because there are no words, but the art is gorgeous. What is also amazing is I got it for free. I pre-ordered the special edition of Pixu which is another collaborative comic book by the same artists minus Rafael Grampa. Both comics are great. 

Olympics is still amazing to watch.

BIG QUESTION. I don't mean to stir any feathers but I want to know what you think/believe. If you are happily married on earth and have accepted Christ as the Savior will you be married in heaven to your earthly spouse? The question and has been haunting me for a day or two now. 

The spider picture was inspired by the sky last week. On my way to work I looked up and saw these dark clouds holding the sun while it burst through their hands. 

Watch for more "contest" posts. I have a challenge already given to me this week by my girlfriend. It's a secret, and if we pull it off it should be hilarious. Night.

A is for Adam and Adam is still matriculate. 

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY I HAD BLOGGED 50 TIMES HERE

First off, who is watching the Olympics? Freaking amazing. All of it. The world's best of the best competing and breaking records! This is the first Olympics that I have gotten in to. I wish they would play the Judo competitions on television though.

Not too much going on here. My drawing today is inspired by objects I found today. In fact, I will give a prize to the first person to post a comment naming the round object in the picture. The prize is I will draw whatever that person wants, within reason, on the next post. So, there you go. Spread the wealth and the knowledge people. You're beautiful and goodnight.

A is for Adam and Adam is glad he has a life besides competing on an Olympic level

Hey guys. Sorry for the gap. Talk to you all later.

A is for Adam and Todd Bentley is full of crap
