unexcused absense

so yeah, I apologize for the last weak ass post but, I've been busy with school and finals. but with all the bull out the way i've been rewriting the second and third chapters. I'm trying to make a coherent story and I wont rest till i get something good. With that said I'm gonna update and hopefully this update streak will last through the school year till the launch of dormant??
heres to hoping.

Remember, Remember

the 5th of november the gunpowder, treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun power treason should ever be forgot.

Long time eh?

I planned on posting on the 1st of November for a fresh begining but there was really nothing that happened or mattered enough for me to post. Today was the same. I'm having a hard time making my drawings more dynamic. Some time of artist block I plan on waking up early and just sketching it out for a while. Hm today what I do nothing I ran and im happy im making progress its good to see improvement from time to time. I did a charcoal drawing for one of my classes in the bitter cold and My best friend whopped my ass time and time again in smash. Besides that nothing new. Come to think of it, I saw a documentary on Jack Kirby he was the best at what he does cuz he worked at it. http://paulanski.com/index/Ffkirby.html heres the link. Whoever you are I hope this inspires you not to give up as it did with me. That is all off to bed and drawerings in the mornings. Good night San Diego

Nocturne

So I tend not to sleep as much as I'd like to here I am yet again. The week is almost over. I made a new header and I kinda like it. I've been using 2 types of pencil to draw one for concept another to get down good lines. Even a lil bit of photoshop although really its only text. Im gonna draw more take an hour or two each day. see what I can do. So far I'm happy that I've updated 3x this week. The next step is to have a drawing of the day or something but lets just see how far this goes huh? I'm still debating if I should use the wordpress comic press combo or if I should use dreamweaver. I shouldnt worry though I've got alot to learn in terms of well everything. So yeah on that note good night I suppose? Heres to hoping for a sunday post.

Long day

I've been taking a begining drawing class and well its midterm time. I wrote a short story called 8 minutes. Which took forever then drew out some character concepts. There was so much preparation it didn't hit me how long it would take to actually draw all the panels. I divided 18 x 24 paper in 2 so i got about 4 comic pages but it took most of the night to get done. Its been a long day and I am extremely tired. But with that said I am happy that Im updating atleast 2x a week. I wanna keep it up. Also I wanna quit the Criminal Justice route and Go here. http://www.scad.edu/sequential-art/index.cfm sucks that I've already invested my life in this bs. Well Im gonna go catch some Zzzs cuz im tired as hit. Hopefully this weekend I get to put in more work in photoshop. Well with that said nite.

Return to Innocence( enigma)

Well I meant to post this on sunday being the beginning of the week but I've been lazy. and that has been well the thing with me for sometime. Ive become complacent although Ive achieved nothing. I want to make Dormant Happen yes I just capitalized that H. I don't know how long it will take but I'm gonna get it done. Ronald has a phenomenal story and its coming together quite nicely. I'm at work though. I lost 2 story arcs because of a washing machine mishap which made me realize although the digital format is nice. It's not the end all be all. I'm gonna try to update this blog atleast 2x a week. Hopefully that gets me in the frame of mind I will need to update a comic bi-weekly. This is what I want to do even more so than what I'm doing in school. Well thats enough but, last week I picked up Applegeeks Vol. 2 and a Moleskine note book to write my notes in transition on the bus and stuff Dormant will happen. Till next time.

Impetus..

Well today is the first of July so In a sense, i'm try to get back on my grind so to speak. I don't want a new start because, I feel there is no sense in wiping clean all the mistakes. Looking back on the mistakes I've made... I can't laugh but I can learn. Anywho today was pretty sick. My first time working two jobs. The irony of it all is that I didn't have a job to begin with and now two. So Yeah I'm going to do that. The rant earlier about making mistakes is me hinting about how happy I am in the city. And I would not have had the chance if I hadn't messed up. I'll elaborate on that later on.
Lemme just give you a rundown of how sweet my day was. 8:15 my eyes open 8:16 I realize that I have to be at work for the first time at 8:30...fuck. I put on a nice button down shirt some slacks and head for the Bus which happens to be waiting for me at the bus stop. I get to work at 9:11...balls ... so as I sit anticpating being fired from a job before I even got to work there for a second time( one of the MANY mistakes I hinted at) a ray of hope flickers through the window the manager shows up and tells that the woman who was doing the orientation was late...later than me...YES... After all the training. I went to see Justin and realized that I was late for my second Job...Great..Took the F all the way to West 4th and for lack of better judgement took the C train I saw this old guy sitting there and I ask him If the Train was headed to nordstrand. He said that and that was that ...or so I thought.
Sitting there on a local C train while possibly late..I heard you from Africa... I replied to the man yeah...then a moment later he yelled West Africa? and I was a lil bit more suprised but went with the yeah....he said Ghana?Right? That suprised me..and from there we began one of the best random subway conversations I've had... It was cool seeing my culture from a different perspective.. He told me how he loved the palm wine and the beautiful women. He told me about the 70s when he was twenty he has seen most of the world. Told me he went to nigeria but It couldn't compare. We laughed about Star Beer and Fufu. He said the first time he had fufu he cried.lol.(I'd later come to find out he was a professional chef.) He told me about his radical days one in particular that stood out. At a checkpoint in Nigeria him and some friends were trying get rid of some weed in the car so they ditched it last minute. At the checkpoint the guards were laughing cuz they saw it happen. The guards explained they were looking for weapons an not drugs..when he asked for it back they laughed even harder and said no.
His name was Vernon and this was a random encounter but it is because of days like these..when I'm tired beat down and downtrodden. I smile I realize how much I love this damn city.
