 February 29, 2008 | category: fashion More character design inspiration. One of the best lessons I learned in character design from my teacher in college, Mike Genz, was that everything in the world was made up of a combination of 3 shapes: circles, squares, and triangles. Gareth Pugh Louise Goldin Maison Martin Margiela [...] February 28, 2008 | category: my work I was watching this video on youtube and was completely inspired to clown the crying clown boy in cartoon form. I plan on taking my sketchbook to more public places, so count on more entries like this in the near future. This is by far one of the best things about drawing. Mwhahahaha. [...] February 28, 2008 | category: animation My friend Alex posted this on his blog. This is an amazing piece of animation. I really enjoy the design and style of timing that was used for this project. Fantastic! It was originally made in french. If you want to see the english version go here. [...] With the accelerated versatility of technology and its increasing use in the field, an interesting and concerning reality will be here well within our lifetime. Robotics in combination with bio-technology are what seem at a high forefront with the human species. I see a more drastic merger of the sciences in the future.

Dr. Seuss mesmerized generations (and continues to do so) of children with numerous books filled with his unique drawings and memorable rhymes. Horton Hears a Who!, one of his most popular titles, tells the [...] February 25, 2008 | category: movies One dream of mine since watching movies was to have a starring role as a zombie. It would be a delight to stumble about while drooling without being looked at in disgust for it. Did you ever notice in a zombie movie there is often one “special zombie” that never gives up? Ah yes, [...] February 24, 2008 | category: personal I was at Target yesterday walking around because I needed to get new 9 volt batteries for the fire alarm and my clock. Something that I do if I have the time is stroll through the toy section to see what new craziness is being released to entertain the kids. The wife and I have a growing collection of toys and plush animals, so we both have to limit what we get these days. There was one nerdy toy I couldn’t resist getting. The Spheron Race Car. The wheels are metallic and attach to the chassis of the car with magnets. Pretty cool. It comes with a little display ramp that the car sticks to with its magnetic power. If you push the car down a bit, it releases from the vertical platform and launches at incredibly smooth speed across the floor. It was only $5, so it wasn’t too bad an investment on an innovative concept. Check out these pictures I took after getting back home. Maybe you’ll be convinced of having one as well and joining the ranks of the true dorks.
February 23, 2008 | category: website It’s taking time, but I’m finally starting to upload images of selected gallery shows and events that I’ve participated in over the years. You can check out what images I have up so far by clicking here. I’ll be updating it regularly from now on, so this will be the only multi-event update. February 23, 2008 | category: my work My friend Greg Hardin hosts this sweet drawing forum over at Drawergeeks. It’s pretty cool because he started it to give studio artists an outlet to draw for the fun of it, just like scribble-time at recess! Yeah! The drawing theme for this week as “Monsters Under My Bed” and I started thinking, what [...] February 22, 2008 | category: games What’s better than Super Mario World ? Not too many games in the spiral galaxy….unless it’s Super Mario World: Hacked. I have to give the people playing this game credit, the patience to succeed in this version is an ultimate test of focus and will. [...] February 22, 2008 | category: politics / economics If you live in the US and are paying attention to economics, you know that the value of the dollar has been dropping. In fact, it has down nearly 40% against the Euro since 2001. Is this a thing of concern? Some would say no, and that it is a down-swing that will inevitably [...] February 21, 2008 | category: paranormal My friend Joe sent this article through a message board today. This was very interesting and sparked a discussion amongst us about the issue. It’s widely reported that people have the experience of “waking up” in the middle of the night to some sort of dark presence and a weight on their chest…unsettling. Science, the spiritual, or a combination of both? Read on and decide for yourself….
