Hello 2008!

Click on me!! the image above

it might be useful for some of you.

wow, another year gone by. now to think of new year resolutions, luckily i fullfilled most of my 2007 resolutions. i like to keep it small and realistic. woo hoo, thanks to all that visit my blog, i look forward to creating more art.

Oh Snap!!

Confucious can suck on my left nut. who the hell wrote this fortune? LOL, even my own fortune cookie makes fun of me..damn cookie!

two thing at a time.

This tree is practically done, i think i may spend a few more hours smoothign out some of the details. so far , i think it turned out ok, well, what matter is that Kimmie like it, next year. we will get started with the actual tattooing. sorry about the water mark , hate to see it on someone eleses back before i actually get it on Kammie's back. it is a nice change to draw a none human forms, give me an opportunity to practice, quite frankly i get bored of drawing human figures, I think i ll try and dress them up with more sophisticated clothing and stuff. .This one is ok too, not really sure if i like the color combination,,,regardless, must finish what i started.
This one is turning good, i m still tryign to come up with cool back ground idea, maybe not a land scape but a structure of some kind.

for the next week i will be focusing on two painting, i think it would be wise to do at least 2 drawing at ones, that way when i get bored with one, i can alway jump to the other, I will have one in colors and one in color that way i will have good balance of color and gray scale practice. .. now to stay focus...

youger years

I used to had the Hots for her, I think her name was Allison Sher...something. She had some issue though, ..I tried to be there for her, i think she really appreciate it, we use to hang out every night....good memories, ...I think she probably thought i was a weirdo because i never try to initiate any sexual thingy with her. lol, she would try to throw hints here and there . hehe, actually all the time..but i always played dumb....chit, thats why we were never together ...oh well, it was probably for the best, in the end she turned into this...will i don't want to say it.. I perfer to remember good memories, still remember the first time we meet and the last..If I ever come across her someday, i would love to at least say hi and hear all bout her life stories. Its nice to have someone's images and memories burned into your mind...its hard to explain, but ..you know what i meant, she may be gone but the memories will never leave me.
It was funny when i told my friends that she left me ...(well, ..we were never together officially, but i did cared alot abouther at one point) because i didnt' want to sleep with her. ...they would laugh because usually its the girls that says that. ... .by the time i told her how i felt about her, it was too late....well, it s never too late for love...but at that time it was best that we just pick up and go our own seperate way... love...always end in tragic.. ..
its funny to look at old photo of myself, the one on the left was me at 19, it was taken at Waimea High schoool graduation in Kauai. while visiting my buddy Ryan in 1997. . ahh, i miss those younger days. ..and the right one is me now 10 years later, ...thanksfully it doesn't look like i age much.
woo hoo for Asian gene.

revisiting old stuff...again

of course we have this one, i went ahead and gave it a 16x10 format, so far i think the composition works ok, . i wanted to give it more of an Asian theme as far as the background element goes.

I was bored

eventhough i haven't done it in awhile, luckily it still sticks with in my head.
my first attempt, to try and better the original pose. i haven't drawn anatomy without life reference in a long while, but this one i was pretty happy with.
Tonight i came across this drawings, which i thought i d lost forever, so much dvds here can't seem to find anything i need. I love looking at old stuff, and see how far i d come. This was done back in 2001, with pencil and then my attempt to color it in Photoshop. Cammy is her name, a character from Street Fighter. her anotomy are way off, her face are way screwey. oh well,

Feeeling sick

tHE TREE are coming along nicely, I learned alot from doign his tree, It is almost done, I added a few brances that are pointing directly toward the camera , give in a bit of depth, not sure if you can see it. this tree give me great oppourtunity to work on something else other then human which sometime can be boring and redundant
I voleentered to work for the 4 nights this week, its not that its hard, but every morning when i get up i feel ALL sick and stuff. , but i did get alot done at work , i love my job, for thepast two days i d been working on this drawingS. its looking pretty good. the pay is not that great, but i do get to do what i want though.

was bored.

Needed a break from doing my other drawings, it's nice to let lose, i called it"I'm coming for you"

new technique,

applying new techniques.

this suppose to be Camilla but i couldnt' get her eyes to looks right, ..or it may looks just fine and i m just seeing things, ...after staring at the monitor for hours on end, my eyes have ways to play tricks on me, someitme i can't even tell whats right from wrong. maybe its time for a break.

not sure,if it s new or not, just figured out how to better control the tools, i only used two different tools to create this piece. ...her nose is off set a bit. dang it, oh well. trying to adapt someone else style and add a little bit of your own touch. my philosophy in art is to not set your mind to just one particular style, flexibility is key. I know many artist out there that are like that, it s not a bad thing, but i think you ll have better chance of scoring more job. ....I guess i m ...not sure what i consider myself, ...I know i m not a fine artist...maybe i m more of an illustrator. ...bahh, too late, i m going to bed.

To get list

Things I like to get but probably can't afford.

-30"LCD, as i get better with digital painting, it would be easier to have a hung monitor so that i can see all.
-new graphic card, with a monitor that size i ll need a pretty good video card to run it, think Dual link...i think most new graphic card have that.
-a 1000 gig hard drive or 2x500 gigs hd, need more room for all this porns. :P haha,
-1 2 gigs stick., mind as well max my ram out at 8Gigs.
-Quad core processor, INtel QX6600 . would be sweet to run the quad at 3200x4. it would be even sweeter if it = out to be as powerful as running a single 12800 MHz cpu. I can only dream.
-a new girl-friend, i want one that doesn't require a lot of money, and one that wont bring too much drama into my life. luckily Hana's been pretty good at introducing me to her good looking friends. last week i went to hang out with her and meet her friend Tamera and boy she is pretty, i forgot whats the next step is...I think i suppose to ask for her numbers ? ..or should i just ask her to marry me? ..now where is that menu.

-master the art of tattoo, still working on it, a little slow, but it is going. it ll be some distance before i get there but i have a good feeling that it ll be worth the wait. until then..all i can do is keep trying.

- Autoclave- need this to steralize tattoo tubes.
-untra sonic, also need this to clean tubs.
High quality tattoo inks, this aren't cheap but i will be needing it if i want to keep going.

I think those are pretty much what i need/want, now to come up with the cash...

more practice

This one is turning out good as well.
This one is actually turnign out pretty good, can't wait to color it.

Life drawing,

decided to do something different for change, I used black can Canson paper, black and white prisma pencils. Finally got around to go to the art shop and pick up a back board, size 18x24 . approximately 2.5 hours. She's not wearing any top piece , it was painted on. if you squint your eyes and stare at he neck piece for a bit looks like it actually pops out. pretty sweet.
