My New Obsessions.

Why don't i live in Midwest city???

and IM A FUGGIN' NUGGG NUTTTT!

Holy Crap!

I do drawings

I know that I have posted some of my work up here before but as I said in a previous post I want to start displaying some old stuff. When it comes to art I have been seriously neglectful over the past year so I am hoping this will challenge me to get off of my ass and start doing more work. If anyone has any comments, ideas or criticisms (Its my fault I chose the friends I did) feel free share.



This is a really old drawing circa 2001 maybe. It is a 15-20 minute piece done as an exercise that I thought came out alright. Its two overlapping poses. For those of you that have seen my stuff before you know that I separate tones into planes and this is obviously no exception.



This one is was most likely done the same day, or at least in the same class. What really sucks about these sketches is that they are dudes. With their clothes on. No, but seriously you learn next to nothing about drawing the human form when your models have clothes on. I didn't get to do that until a couple years later. And the one model on the left is actual a women. Nude drawings a few posts later.

Keeping up with the resolution

I was about to get ready for work when I realized that I had not made a post in a couple of days. Mark said he would be very angry with me if I did not stick to my resolution. I really have nothing to post about so I will give you guys some links to sites that I find interesting.

First is ConceptArt.org which is full of art by freelance artists. This stuff is pretty much amazing and really inspiring. Second up is another art site, but this time for a specific artist that calls himself eBoy. His art work is very detailed in the same vein as Geoffry Darrow but with a 10 year old boys sensibility. Ok, I have to go to work and listen to Preston (sorry about the spelling errors) complain about ass-hole customers and watch Henry try to tackle Hudge if he sees him. Bahgwap.

Butternut Reduction



I totally lost it when he says "butternut reduction".

This one is really good also, watch the whole thing.

300

No, not the movie but close to what I currently weigh. Time to get back down to my fighting weight. Im back on the plan that helped me lose 50 pounds 3 years ago; diet and exercise. Don't ask me to go out to eat with you because I will spit salad on you. I think I will give the 100 pushup plan a try and start the couch to 5k plan again. Im also going to try to start going to Aikido more than the once a month that has been the norm for almost 2 years now. I have no idea why I stopped training, I never felt better in my life physically, mentally or spiritually. The diet part will be much easier than the exercise part, plus it will save me money. You do not want to know how much money I squander on eating out.

I got my bike back in working order today so lets go ride. It cost an arm-and-a-leg but it looks and rides much better than before, and no its not a "fixie". Not that I have anything against those types, Im actually friends with tons of trendy fucks young hip people. No but really, anything that can get people out of their cars onto a bicycle is fine by me.

For those that care, the pinhole camera pictures did not come out, Mark thinks the hole is to small. don't say it, just don't. So he will make the hole bigger, (again, keep it to yourself) and try again.

Starting next week I am going to begin to post images from my portfolio of work, for two reasons.

1. Apparently a lot of have no idea that I am an *ugh* artist and that I have been drawing almost my entire life.
2. Feedback. Tell me what you think.

This experiment is hopefully going to motivate me to do more work, regardless of the negative/positive feed back. In theory after I run out of pieces that I want people to see, I will do more because all 10 of you that read this will want to see more..........

now for a topic related video:

aikido kid versus fat kid

The pinhole adventure

Out of chance I ran into my friend Mark today while I was on my way to take pictures for a class project. As it happened he was doing the same thing, except he was doing it for fun and, he had a home made pinhole camera. Mark made had made it himself from a quaker oats can, black spray paint, black duct tape and an aluminum can. Oh yeah and a pin. If your interested here is some instructions and galleries. It took the better part of the day but he took 10 pictures of various locations. Big Hudge is going to develop them tonight in his bathroom darkroom so expect to see the results after I scan them in tomorrow. Im excited. Aside from that it has been a normal day, school, pinhole camera, food, coffee, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, I also brought my bike in to get it fixed so my friends would start hanging out with me again.

Oh yeah, Carmelo's spawn should have been surgically removed from his wife a couple of hours ago, its twin time everyone! Congratulations Woptazza your a daddy! I think I will be buying them this in celebration of his journey into the unknown with strange new creatures. Oh yes, we have a new president, here to a new era and to new life! What a great day.

fuck it.

Ok, so I never came up with a resolution this year because I have yet to think of one that I might actually stick to. Until now. I will resolve to update this blog at least once every other day. There, I feel better already. Also, thanks Asa, your trickle of posts have been about the only thing keeping this going, oh that and Johnmanrules.com (not a real site....yet). So lets start today shall we! In local news I have finally been mentioned by Miss Defame herself!

"I wish Face had a better nickname."

Yes! But right above that.....

"I wish that BBQ bar would quit playing live Hip Hop on Thursday nights and just stick with their tried and true jukebox."

Awww....But I like hip hop! Yea hip hop! You sound like Rymar MeghanDefame! I can move on with my life now.

Heres an interesting article for you bike nerds, this new do-hickey, that I am sure Preston will try to pre-order after reading this, projects the image of a bike lane behind you as you pedal. Now only if it would project a giant middle finger instead of a cyclist stencil.

So a few of you I told but just to make it official I would like to announce my new project which will be the construction of something similar to this:



This guy built his own for about $3500, but as you can see he did a double sided cab where in my case it would be only one sided. His monitors are sony HD 40" where as I would just stick with a 32" vizo for half the price. Wish me luck on my ultimate nerd venture. Also, mine will probably not be as near as fancy, or as expensive. Any one know how to model plans in 3D? And on final note, for those of you who do not already know, Rymar has been writing an awesome blog that a lot of mommy and daddies have been reading, so check it out. Well, thats that and now for the mandatory video post:
