Father's Day comes twice this month.

Today is my Dad's birthday. Again. I am sleepy and tired, I did not know what to draw so I drew a mermaid taking her daddy shark out for some lunch.

I saw that Indiana Jones movie. Will someone please splice THIS with some Crystal Skull clips? I am too busy/lazy to do it, and it was the only thing I could think about through the whole movie! I kept expecting them to look over their shoulders! I went with some friends to see that movie. There was a commercial at the beginning of the film that had Michael Bay in it exploding stuff, 'cause that's what he does. Some of us were joking about it in the theater, and later found out Michael Bay was sitting directly behind us, since his buddies were clapping during the commercial. Weird.....
Still haven't seen "Iron Man"! >:(

Orange and Blue

They are my favorite colors. I read somewhere once that this combination represented insanity. Don't know if it's true.




It's been getting hotter in LA. It's smells like disgusting burning garbage. Bleh...

Generic little girls must be destroyed!

Little Girl: "Get me out of this crappy wonky drawing!"
Shadow Fire Beast Edwardo: "Get this crappy generic girl out of my home!"



This was for a friend's Bday. It is a Spring Hare. They are REAL!

Here is a song I like very much! "Don't You Know", by Fantastic Plastic Machine ft. Clazziquai Project

Month old marker doodle of a random face.


Went to the dentist, thought I had a cavity. Turns out I was brushing my teeth wrong, making them sensitive. Only I would be capable of brushing my teeth wrong. They are healthy though.
Hung out with friends today, they are nice. They gave me Mario Kart! Yay! No time to play! Boo!!! (maybe Tuesday...)
Going to the beach tomorrow with Mary, maybe I will see some crabs, sand dollars, and seagulls.
A show got picked up! More freelance for me! YAY! May even have time this week for my own projects! This will be a good week! Exclamation point punch!

Special link of the week: Tecmo Secret of the Stars"
This was a game my brother and I played one summer, long, long ago. It sucked horribly, so bad, that we couldn't stop playing it. The Engrish was amazing, the plot made no sense, the monsters were completely stupid, and the box art was special in it's own way. We used an Etch-a-Sketch to keep track of where we were in the dungeons. We got close to beating it, but finally got bored. There is actually a naked lady towards the end you have to fight, but I doubt anybody else made it that far. Tecmo should have stuck to football games. By the way this video is great because the narrator has a fantastic accent.

Monster

Something happy next week, no matter what happens.

Little Misunderstood Things

Weekend freedom.

Power in Numbers 3

It's that time of the year again. Power in Numbers 3 is Saturday 7-11pm, April 12-28. This year money raised will go to the
Make a Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles. Pieces are all 5x7 and each will be $100. Go to www.gallerynucleus.com to see the cool artists submiting art!
Below is my stupid, cartoony, immature piece. I haven't had alot of time for anything other than freelance lately so that's all there is. His name is Dainty. Dainty Giraffe. Hopefully he doesn't end up in the dust bin some where and actually raises some money. Or he will be a failure of an angel giraffe.


Here is a photo of my dog back home. She has a sheep on her head. Poor abused puppy!

I went to the Swallow's Parade at San Juan Capistrano last weekend. It was awesome but I forgot my camera. There was a bull walking down the street with a man standing on him. It was crazy!! Oh well.

Sailor Barfday

This was from the week of birthdays awhile ago. One of my friends is a walking encyclopedia on Sailor Moon. I am without the monies. So I made this instead of buying nice chocolates, bubble bath, or toys. It is wonky. Blah! Next post will not be bad anime fanart/FArt. Here is some awesomey Sailor Moon art by Miss Katie Shanahan. March must have been Moon month.

Look what my friend Lori found in Tokyo, SUPER MOOGLE!!! RAWWWWW!!!

Fly me to the moon

I drew these for a friend's recent birthday. She collects some of the toys, so I thought these might be nice for her depressed children collection. Staying up drawing these brought back alot of memories from art school. It's funny, alot of people assume all we watched were "The Jungle Book" and Nine old men animation, but we were introduced to "Evangelion" end of our freshman year in 1999. A group of us borrowed the complete series from a friend and watched all the episodes in less than a week. The next fall, we watched "End of Evangelion", and the nerds debated what the whole thing meant. One of our story teachers used to bring clips in from the anime for various examples. There is some amazing animation in the show, and alot of media references it nowadays.
Gainax is producing four movies retelling the story, the first one was released in Japan not too long ago. Here is the first trailer and the second trailer for "Rebuild of Evangelion". I think WETA may still be working on a live action movie based on "Evangelion". Good luck to them if they are, they have a huge task in front of them.



Banana Cat!

Springtime!

I hate peeps! They are gross! People give them to me every year, but usually they end up in the microwave or hiding in my cubbard. I found some once that were a year old, they don't last forever like Twinkies, they turn into rocks! When I eat one, part of me dies.

I went to a bridal convention Sunday with my friends who are getting married. We were joking that it was going to turn into that horrible Sailor Moon episode and that the Negaverse villians would be there to drain our energy. The convention was pretty horrible. Ugly wedding dresses, bad dj's, bad wedding photographers, and no Tuxedo Mask in sight. It was still a fun day though.
Here is that particular Sailor Moon episode by the way, in all it's horrible English dubbed glory:
Wedding Day Blues pt. 1
pt.2

I am doing some fun freelance. Five year old Brianne is very happy.

Secret link! Skippy Fanart!

St. Patty's

Wear some green! Don't want to get pinched!

Mostly work, some play.

Stuff from about the last two years. If anyone knows what shows these are from, go outside and get some sunshine already! Jeez! I'm going to bed!






When life hands you gophers, make stupidity.




Derrick Wyatt designed Sari. I just got to put fancy clothes on her.



Pretty sure Chris Hooten colored this and made it look nice. Couldn't find my line art. :(


"Congratulations! You made it to the end of this post and found the princess! Now what are you going to do?"

Blah blah blah blah.....blah.

Starshine

New portfolio front page? The background scanned weird. The black sharpie used for some of the space reflected back at the scanner.


In space, no one can hear you scream.


Abby is leaving town tomorrow for a new big important job. Last week we hung out with a bunch of friends. These were her suggestions on where to have a friend's wedding. We'll miss you Abby! Hooray for email! (these drawings suck!)


Elephant seal choir.


Purple dinos in love for long lost coworkers.


Later.

Alabaster 2.0

Saturday was crazy!!
I got to go to a birthday/going away party, but two of my friends got engaged before the party so at dinner there was alot of free ice cream and the restuarant made them wear funny hats! I took photos of the people wearing the hats, but if I posted them they wouldn't be my friends anymore. Everyone is becoming an adult. WOW! It's weird I've known these people for at least ten years, when we would have NERF wars, stay up all night in the computer lab trying not to cry, getting lost in LA.... times haven't changed much. Maybe they aren't adults, yet.

Someone emailed me wanting an Alabaster drawing. So here is some weirdness 'cause I didn't reference the old drawing like I should have.





Went and saw "Cloverfield" Saturday too. I think the monster's name should be "Cookie Pie". He should have also looked like a giant cookie/pie ice cream eared puppy monster. Alabaster isn't the smartest cookie it seems.


If Cookie Pie bites her, she's totally going to 'splode. Lactose intolerance.
wooooooooooooooo.............................

That day with the hearts, chocolates, roses, and diseases...

This is poo poo.

Things that happened last three weeks.
1. Lost a whole week of doing freelance from horrible obnoxious chest cold. Still sound like the coughing lady from "Mad TV". Got to watch season 2 of "Avatar" though, slept alot. Not a complete waste.
2. Apartment manager remodeled my bathroom. Lost half a week of that 'cause apartment was full of cancerous fumes.
3. Someone may have been trying to steal my lowbeams off my car. Spending tomorrow getting that fixed.
4. Crashed the Annies. Drank their wine, ate their food, and watched their cartoons. Left before the three bears showed up.
5. Had dinner with friends last night. Britney Spear's paparazzi boyfriend was sitting behind us being an ass, so we got no service. What a bunghole. Stop ruining good restuarants!
6. Finished my freelance list plus some. If you haven't gotten stuff yet, give me until midnight. SRSLY.

7. Jeaux over at Frederator emailed me to submit something for their current contest. Had less than a day to animate something. Here is the development art and film. Go here to see the rest of the submitions and vote for who will win a PINK Nintendo DS.... >:D


Watered down monkeys... "Sweet Monkey Love"

Super Star Sprinkle Asthma Attack GO!!

All hopped up on Albuterol and Nyquil, hot dog water of the demons, as opposed to Ambrosia, nectar of the Gods.
Here is some important stuff:

1.The fund raiser for Soren Rogers went really well, and they are having a party for the last night of the gallery show. It's still at Monkey House Toys in Silverlake, CA, on Saturday, February 2nd, at 3pm. I think they may still be accepting donations and more artwork for the final event.

2.It's almost time for Innerspark applications if any highschool student is interested in going. It's alot of fun, you learn ALOT in a month, you get to use actual animation equipment, eat gross Calarts food, order pizza from Ameci's instead and make the delivery guys mad when they don't get their huge tip, go to museums, studios, guest speakers, radda, radda, and etc... Anyway, applications are due February 29th.


My lungs are full of gunk. It's disgusting. I couldn't focus on anything all day, but I had to sit still. Yay for asthma!!! Colors.....

A couple of days ago I finally discovered the "Yu-Gi-Oh: Abridged Series". There are currently 26 eps. Now it all makes sense...

That song that sounds like Aqua...

You know the one.

I am sick today. Bedtime. Maybe I'll post something with effort, heart, and the right number of fingers later. Maybe.

Computer is fixed!

The monster computer is working again! Nice friends came by, we went to Fry's, got a new graphics card, and now ol' Dell is working better than ever. Yay! Here is a would be thank you dance from Skippy if he could dance on two legs.

Pink and green pixels are no more!! Hooray!! Bad animation to classical music! Boo!!

Grape Babies

There is a fundraiser for Soren Rogers at Monkey House Toys in Silver Lake, CA this Saturday night!
Soren is a little boy who has had to deal with many seizures in his life so far, and his family needs some help getting a very expensive wheelchair lift on their van. The fundraiser is this Saturday, Jan. 19th, from 5-9pm. There is going to be a ton of amazing artwork, food, drinks, so if you are in the area, please stop by! Also, if you'd like to contribute to the fund, but can't make it to town, you can donate at Soren's website.


Here is my late piece down below. It's small and colored on brown fancy recycled paper which makes it look weird. Scary Grape babies getting a bedtime story. It was drawn outside of a coffee shop. So it smells like caffiene, car exhaust, and marker fumes. Don't ya want to buy it?



A few weeks ago a couple of my friends got the "Gunbuster vs Diebuster" dvds. We had a geeky drawing party and ate beard papas. They started out as bad sketches, and then the markers took over, like a horrible virus. Look at the disgusting Nicola head, floating in space for no reason. Everyone has really long monkey arms. Barf.

Speaking of horrible viruses, I saw "I am Legend". It would be cool to be a zombie.
Barf.

I found some Gunbuster videos.
Here is the trailer for "Gunbuster vs Diebuster".
This is an amv someone made with "Gunbuster 2", it's spoiler heavy, so don't watch it if you don't like being spoiled.
