Old Habits die Hard.

Hola,

So awhile ago, I said I would enter for the MORNING contest, but once again, I have backed out, but hear me out first before calling me a giver-upper.

Recently, I went to comicon in nyc (see previous post) and like I said, I felt like a piece of shrimp in a vast ocean, better than last year when I felt like a piece of plankton shit, but anyways....

I recently met up with an artist I met at comicon who goes by the pen name of Mayshing, you can check out her works here:

Overall, it seems the problems in my art always center around one thing: patience.

So the badnews is that I will not submit what I have to the contest (maybe next year), but I will continue with SPOON and continue what I am drawing since I am having lots of fun with it. The art I plan to put up will be cleaner and better, I promise!

NYC COMIC CON 2011

This years comic con was somewhat of a disappointement, mostly because I only got to go on a Sunday rather than on a Saturday...=/.

I wanted to AT LEAST get my BONE book signed by Jeff Smith, but he left early and was not there on Sunday...and Hiro Mashima, creator of FAIRY TAIL left already...even though I am not too happy with his manga, he is still leagues above me.

Speaking of leagues, I went to the anime fest artist alley and met the creator of FLIPSIDE and got my art critiqued...let me put it this way.

Last year, I felt like a plankton in a huge ocean, this year...a shrimp. A LITTLE better.

One huge discouraging feedback I got was that getting my own table next year with the level I am at would be an utter waste of money...haha. But luckily I did create some contacts and tomorrow, I hope to meet with an artist I met to critique the shit out of my art...hahaha... So maybe..MAYBE I will have to delay serialization for another year...we shall see.

NYC COMIC CON!

That time of the year has rolled around again and I will be attending this years comic con as a regualr person lol. I am planning to be there all day Sunday, so if you want to meet up, just shoot me an e-mail and hopefully we can hang out! This year, I planned to show some of my drawings to more people hoping to get a better reaction this year than last year.

Hopefully by next year, I will have my own table with serialization coming...so if I meet you there, I can show you a sneak peek of what I have drawn so far!

So hopefully I will see you there.

Younger kids are more talented than Me.

A self portrait one of my students drew of me....


a modified Charles by a student named FFFFFFFFRANKY!

So as you can see, my job is quite fun...at times lol. i have met two students today who are around the 8th grade with some scary drawing talent!

Anyways, I have decided to abandon working on the current chapter I am working on and continue with the chapter I was working on before since the deadline is pretty close and finishing this new chapter will take a long....very long..time. Due to complicated angles and sceneries I have in my mind, lol. But do not worry, all of these chapters, I plan to release in 2012!

And if you have not already, check out our podcast with the author of PARADIGM SHIFT, Dirk Tiede:

BEING PRODUCTIVE...SORT OF

TOTALLY AWESOME.


My bros playing SMASH




Me working while reading PARADIGM SHIFT and smoking hookah lol




On weekends, I usually spend a lot of my time with the bros...sometimes doing nothing lol. So with my busy schedule, I try to fit in drawing whenever I can. I also finally managed to get around to reading SCOTT PILGRIM (I know...I'm behind) and finished it and it is epically epic. I could never get into it originally due to the art, but once I got past it, it's pretty epic. Even my girlfriend got into it...even though she said she liked it more than SPOON...-__-;

So as some of you may know, we have a pretty cool guest for out next podcast:

So look forward to it!

Where am I?

Hello!

So I have moved out of my parents home and am living on my own...kind of. I am living in another college house with two other roommates, which all seems weird since I feel like I am moving back to college, rather than moving out to become a working person in society.

I took a job at a prviate school teaching fulltime, the pay is not amazing, but I can definitely suffice. Along side that, I have obtained another part time job as an after school tutor, so hooray for me!

As for SPOON, I am still working on chapter 1 on super awesome paper and am trying to draw as much as I can in one day, so I will keep you all updated with cool pics of my new room!
