Ready! Steady! GO!

School is going pretty well. I love most of my classes and slowly I am getting the hang of using photoshop/illustrator, i just gotta keep practicing and not getting frustrated with them and quiting! I am not a quitter! I am a do-er. Something like that. For my rendering techniques class,we are making our own superhero. here's my sketch of it. 

My powers are the ability to see through objects and hypnotize others. Codename: Spex. My teacher told me I need to redraw it and make it focus on the glasses (which the powers come from) because right now, you focus on the suit. I am going to look up a bunch of "Superhero Poses" because I have no clue on what I want my final drawing to look like. Going to spend wednesday going through all my comics and books. Fun times.

I have also been doing alot of drawings out of magazines and random images I google. I have one drawing I'm working on which maybe used for class:

This is the first drawing. I am going to redraw it and if I like how it looks I might use it for the Rending Techniques class for our 2nd project. 

Here's some other sketches:

All I do is draw and waste time on the internet. Oh and making my way through Battlestar Galactica and Lost.  I lead such an exciting life haha. However in a couple of weeks I'll be heading to Chicago for a couple of days. I haven't been back to chicago in like almost 2 years. I am really excited. Will take lots of pictures, since got my new camera,which I love. 

When I come back most of my time will be spent on school,drawing,looking for a job and more drawing. AND I get to finally see Matthew Good! I think I have been waiting since I was 15 to see him live. Should be an amazing time!

Let's Jam!

Starting off my 2nd week of school. So far it's going pretty well. I need to get some books. (Hoping to find some at the library so I don't have to pay for them. The Library= the first textbook renting place.) Oh yeah I get to learn illustrator. So excited because I have been wanting to learn it but I am a visual person, I learn by demonstration more than anything else. Which is why I am glad to have an instructor to teach me,I was not going to learn on my own.

Been doing more thrifting. The Salvation army near the Agora has all the great finds. When it gets warmer, I am going to wear more dresses and skirts. I am getting really tired wearing pants. They have become such a hassle. I have been looking for old vintage dresses and some mod type styles. I also need to get some pencil skirts and a couple of blouses. This is a pile of dresses I recently found at good ole Sal

Oh one is a blouse. (the green and white one)
Next week I am finally going to a Dr.Sketchy Night and I am going to check out the vintage shop below the beachland.
Speaking of music venues,I went to the grog shop and picked up my ticket for Ted Leo!

It will be a great show yes,yes! I also need to buy my Matthew Good ticket and I might see Cursive as well. 


I need some live music in my life!


So I got into Anime and Manga when I was 15-16. I landed a job at a library and was friends with the teen librarian who sugguested manga to me. I started reading Battle Angel Alita and Akria. I'm a huge fan of Battle Angel. (I have recently had a huge desire to re-read the series plus the continuation with the 2nd series. )and Akria is the must read for any Manga beginner. However cartoon network exposed me to one of my all time favorite Animes,
Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy is full of drama,action and characters worth rooting for. There are so much anime that is full of crap (i.e Ikkitōsen  which is just a fan boy's wet dream.) and having waaayy too many damn robots. (lol anime stereotyping  but it's true.)  

Anyway Cowboy Bebop is wonderful and much needed series for your anime collection. 

Later,Space Cowboys. ^_^
