here is a digital doodle i did in corel painter

this is something i doodled while watching the cubs game. i really need to screw around with painter and photoshop and gimp more so that i can figure out coloring and layers and stuffs.

okay. its been awhile.
new stuff includes me leaving grad school for the glorious life of the unemployed and potentially freelance artist (so i am going to be moving back home). this school just was not right for me. we'll see if i find a better one. anyways i hope everyone had a great fourth of july. i spent the bulk of mine watching baseball and eating beef. and then watching some pretty awesome scifi pilot for a show that may be on fox in the fall. it was called virtuality. then i got caught up on the new season of burn notice (i thought maybe i would take a nap with it on but it actually held my interest). then i just watched cloverfield which is exactly what i thought a remake of godzilla should be like so it was pretty good. i am working on a bunch of drawings and hopefully i will finish one of them sometime soon. i promise the next post will contain some sort of image (hopefully one of mine) and i plan on posting again before i move.
be seeing you

everyone should watch this cartoon.

i hate having to do stuff

man. isn't it a pain in the ass when you have to do something? anyways. i am doing much better physically from the car hitting me incident. my leg only hurts sometimes instead of always and i got a scar above my right eye that sort of looks like an anarchy sign. i highly recommend the film i love you man and i also sort of recommend monsters vs. aliens for awesome animation fun. anyways i should be doing some of the stuff that i don't want to do. oh, man. i also joined the over medicated masses this past week. anti-anxiety... maybe it will stop me from flinching as cars drive by.
i will see you then or at a later time

my face

i don't recommend getting hit by a car. but it could have been seriously worse.
it also really sucks cause you figure that once you get hit with a car you kinda figure that is the most annoying part but you forget about all the stupid ass paperwork bullshit you have to put up with.
seriously kids practice pedestrian safety

thud

so just as i thought i was getting myself back into gear making work and just sort of getting myself back to the realms of normalcy i had today. earlier tonight i got hit by a car while walking. i am fine. i got 7 stitches in my head and i have a bruised leg (which hurts far more than my head). i didn't get a concussion. i didn't break my leg (which is wear the car hit me). i got a fracture in my sinus (where my head smashed into the road) and i didn't even break my glasses. that is the part that gets me. i had a pair of glasses break once in a pillow fight but getting hit by a car doesn't even scratch em. anyways i have a feeling that this accident might slow me down a bit. thankfully i have a week long break coming up starting on the 5th so i'll use that time to heal and recharge.

apparently my drawings are not good. thank you for telling me something that i already knew. how about something helpful next time.
it might not be the best thing that the thought up above is one i have frequently after critiques (the one good thing to note is that this is usually said early on in the semester and most often by faculty that have not worked with me much)
so there seems, to me at least, to be a slim possibility that i change their minds later on in the semester. but most likely i just wear them down so that they can no longer muster up the energy to complete a sentence
