Hey folks, sorry for my usual absence, things have been messy on my end. My scholastic workload has been fluctuating, some of my most anticipated video games are all being released at the same time, and I've been smashed in the face by (in order) a cold, a sore throat, and now the flu. I do not know or care if the flu is swine related, it's the same thing anyways. I should be on my feet sometime this month, and I have some fun (for me at least) printmaking projects to show off.


In other news, I'm getting a little depressed about the level of my artwork. I don't feel I'm at where I should be for someone less than two years from graduating. I'm hoping to step up the amount of drawing I do after my recovery in hopes of gaining back some confidence.


And finally, here's a Japanese Jazz band I finally tracked down called The Thrill:

They did the music for Blue Submarine #6, an anime mini series that's one of my favorites. A lot of anime fans regard the Cowboy Bebob soundtrack as one of the best jazz soundtracks ever, but I must respectfully disagree and say that this band is far superior.

  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: The Thrill
  • Reading: a book about narcissism
  • Playing: Borderlands, Demon's Souls, and MW2 tomorrow!
  • Eating: not much
  • Drinking: lots of water

:iconneverything:
hey Nick!
I believe you commented on my friend, Monarchism's, account about a picture of a girl who may have taken life drawing with you at Long Beach? Yep that's me, Anne! :D. Small world! Your work looks great by the way!
:iconvaxillus:
Haha, glad I got it right, I was worried I'd come off as a creep or something. And thanks! I've been unable to find a summer job, so I'm trying to improve over the summer. Hope to see some of your stuff up here too, at least assuming you were planning to put anything up.

BTW, how'd things go last semester?
:iconneverything:
hahaha pretty intense, as always. did you take rendering yet? it excruciating, but what doesn't kill you will definately make you stronger! that said, i had a pretty rough semester workload wise, but managed to pull through. learned alot! :D. and you?
:iconvaxillus:
Urg, I took rendering, and hated every second of it. I took it before in Industrial Design, and had a far better teacher, which made it not exceptionally challenging, but very tedious and excruciating. Glad you made it through, I have a feeling things just keep getting busier, but once you make it through the technique courses and start dealing more with subject matter, I'm sure it gets to be less tedious.

As for myself, I've been doing well. Last semester was a lot of fun with Yu Ji's Intermediate (read beginner) Life Painting. It was tough, but I felt like he was one of the best teachers I've had, and I've improved immensely thanks to him. Next semester will be busy, but I'm finally taking illustration, so it should be a lot of fun.
:iconneverything:
gah, i've been wanting to take yu ji's class so bad. i didnt get in this coming fall semester, but hopefully i'll get in the semester after. i'm taking illustration too! i have reese. what about you?
:iconkrystalthebluevixen:
