New year, rocky start

My computer is very sick. It's likely my hard drive will have to go to computer heaven. I have no idea when I'll get it working again- I can only hope it'll be soon. Until then, I'll try to post my work done with traditional media and eventually get back to work with digital. Fortunately, there's still plenty of time to make 2010 a great year!

Warm Wishes

I hope you all are enjoying your holidays! =]

The side of Humpty Dumpty we never knew...

Carnival Fantastique

I’m done with the semester- or is it just done with me?

Who knows?

Tree House "Final" pass

Yay! Overall, I am pleased with how they turned out.



When I have time, I want to add more polish but, for now, here they are.

My first pass on my tree house.
If you would be so kind, crit please.

Library

I've been spending a lot of time at the library lately. While I love the vast supply of books, I can't really stand "old book smell"- too much of it and I physically get sick (nausea). Anyways, here's a sketch I did there a year ago.

Hayao Miyazaki

(deep in thought, his signature guttural groan)


On Saturday evening at Berkeley, there was a conversation/ interview with animation legend Hayao Miyazaki in the flesh.
Just being in the same room with Miyazaki-san was inspiring enough. The whole time he maintained a great sense of humor.

I sat six rows down from center section, which given the size of the auditorium was a pretty good seat. The girl who sat next to me had flown all the way from Fullerton for this. We were both joking about how horrible it'd be if some tall person obstructed the view. Of course as it turned out, this GIANT sat right in front of her.
Awww (but fortunately with some awkward angling of the head, she saw the stage just fine)




Ohh... a night to remember

Gasp!

What?! It's been over a month since I last updated?! How did that happen?!! Ugh I'm so ashamed... I won't let that happen again.

But (I think) I've been productive.




(Self explanatory I hope)



Backside to an envelope. Quick drawing.



And here's part of the a project I did last semester. They're mini bras made from pink ribbon and the "coat hangers" I made just last week from paper clips. Cute right? Hehe.

[old] Random Doodle

I like to draw odd faces when I'm bored. (Like most artists) I have tons doodles floating around on random bits of paper, napkins, notebooks, and in this case my sketchbook.
