...and this one is for my homie.

Yesterday I had to put my dog down. His name was Dugan, but I called him Dugey, The Duganator, Dugalicious, Dugey Von Stugey, and Duganstein. He is/was a silky terrier who lived to be sixteen years old. Wow. It was time for him to go. I loved him very much. I got him when I was in fifth grade. I'm also posting this woman in a veil. Classic beauty. Thank you.

A is for Adam and Adam is remembering

Okay, I'm trying to see how this whole thing is working because...(drum roll) I am going to try a consistant sketchbook for the summer. Meaning everyday I will draw, doodle, sketch, ink, paint, apply sometype of medium to my sketchbook for the remainder of the summer. It will be difficult, maybe. I don't know, I think I'm up for the challenge. What do you think invisible but super interested people out there?

Above is Ashley Wood (incredible) and Kinsey (fantastic). Just a small portion of people I consider my "Illustration Arsenal."

Oh, and Flight of the Concords is my new thing right now.

Finally

Finals are over! Hallelujah. It is a sweet feeling to know that I can go home this week and draw for my own enjoyment and giggles. Which will give me time to focus on the comic Kevin Leigh Watkins and I are putting together called "When Angel's Aren't Looking." He already wrote the story awhile back and now we are collaborating on transforming his amazing short novel to a graphic novel. It won't be easy, it will take some time, patience is a must, but we are strong and we will be victorious.

It's interesting, after everything that has happened to me in the last three years I have found that I'm now...boring. I'm serious, I've become lame. After the monstrosity of anullment I was pretty well connected on the inside and was ready to take on the world from the outside. Dating was easy because I knew what I wanted; and I have found it perfectly. But I think the wear and tear of school and deadlines has drummed me into a absent-minded machine only bent on completing the next task put before me. What the craP! I'll figure it out and work through it with my Creator. This is my small rant.

Waiting

A huge weight has been lifted. Praise the Lord! All I have to look forward to know is an Astronomy test, finish my metal plate for Printmaking, make a collage, and fill out this paper on Pricing and Ethical Guidelines. Not too much in the life of a Design/Illustration student.

Senior Show A-Comin'

It's thursday and my senior show work needs to be printed, mounted and ready to frame. Wow, this freaking semester has gone by in a cloud of mysterious smoke. We hang the work this weekend, and the show (First Friday Artwalk) is next Friday. Very exciting but I wish I wish I wish I had more time to work on it. As it is it looks like really good storyboards for a sweet story. Not to worry though, this summer is the summer of redemption, new opportunities, and losing copious amounts of belly jelly. Looking forward to it.

DSVC

Just got back from the Design Conference that was in Dallas, TX. It was inspiring. Having been there the prior two years not much can really be learned except exposure. For me, that was exposure to Letter press, motion grapics, software like Massive and After Effects, job hunting, doing what you love and getting paid for it, and buffet style banquets. Coming back I now have some research to do on three potential companies I would like to work for, bands I have never heard of that people either let me listen to or made posters for, and updating and maintaining a blog/portfolio. Busy, busy, great.

1st time

This is my first post. Nothing important is going on except that I am sick of being sick. Can't wait for the weekend. Pink-eye is for the birds.
