Ember.

I watched City of Ember about half an hour ago. I'm just so fascinated with the concept...a city underground. Simple robots and whatnot. I'm sure Emberish things will be occupying my sketchbook for a while, lol. Giant rats, and giant cats, more lightbulbs than you can count...generators, V.I.B's (Very Important Boxes). I suppose I'll have to read the books first. Maybe someday. *laziness*

Jesii.

Put this together Tuesday, because I was very sick, and very bored. I call it, "Return of the Jesii". The star wars pun very intended. Maybe one of my better attempts at collage. Sorry Ali, I tried to find a pineapple :]. Dang fruits get away from me every time...

Stephie's B-Day Present

Well, a few weeks ago Stephanie told me her birthday was monday, so I promised her a gift. A pritee drawerering. The picture is blurry, because I was in a hurry. And on a sugar high. I talked with her, and was told that she loves it! That makes me feel warm inside like fresh buttered toast that just fell on a linty floor.

I love british comedy...

If ever, through some terrible, hideous twist of fate, I must teach a sex-ed class, this is the video I shall show.

Maybe Tomorrow

Yes. I know. I changed the name of the blog. AGAIN. I don't really feel like typing up my squidbaby poem, so I'll probably do it tomorrow. I'm lazy. Sometimes. I've subscribed to some new podcasts, because I like podcasts, and they give me something new to listen to when I paint or draw. I'll try to put new posts on here at least once a week, so do what you have to to get me to do it. You know, poke me in the eyes, jab me with sticks, threaten me with blunt, shiny objects. That stuff.

Sorry for my blogging neglect...I've been busy with school and art stuff and various other things. In other news, I've written a very bad poem all about tentacle rape and squidbabies. I shall post it sometime.

Time fer the next installment in my "Great Masters" series. Next on the platter, we have a sample of radish garnished Adam Rex, best served with a side of baguettes and clowns in trees. He is, perhaps, the only artist I like who works a lot in photoshop with a tablet as well as traditional illustration. When working traditionally, he uses oil paint on watercolor paper that's been given a few coatings of acrylic matte medium (this prevents the oil from seeping into the paper, which would ruin it forevers and evers.) I've tried this medium of work myself, and I must say I like it so far...though I would prefer to use a faster drying medium like liquitex or alkyd oils. For his linework, he either uses photoshop and a tablet, or good ol' ink and brush. When he inks traditionally, he uses just brush and ink, no pens. He has quite a style to him, though. His oils be sumptuous in color and texture, and his linework be fluid. He is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestseller, Frankenstien Makes a Sandwhich, And other Stories You're Sure to Like, Because They're All About Monsters and Some of Them Are Also About Food. You Like Food, Don't You? Well, Alright Then, and possibly my favorite alien invasion book, The True Meaning of Smekday. He too, lives in Massachusets and has a backround in Magic the Gathering. In fact, he and Master Diterlizzi know each other. Fairly well. I'm detecting a pattern here....
