Seeing Prince of Persia and St. Trinian's this week gives me an overdose of Gemma Arterton .

A NEW TOY

Now its time got serious. I seriously need to put in some serious work. The end of the year is looming and I'm having a mid-20's crisis. Now I've taken a serious step in moving toward, what might be called an artistic endeavor. My illusions of grandeur have gnawed at me since graduating.

Taking the advice from this Blog entry by Comic Tools Blog I purchased an external hard drive with a 1TB capacity - i hope thats enough-.
This wont only be serving my dive into the visual narrative art, but also to serve my amateur photograph.

With all these items in place I am left with no more excuses for idling about.

But even with all the technological advances at our disposal, we should remember that the tools are merely slaves to skill.

Not Funny! They must know I'm actually TEAM JACOB!


MONUMENT TO IDLENESS


Today was the deadline for submissions to the Wacom Anime and Manga Contest. I was to finish [even sloppyly] my entry tonight. Oh well, all that i can see now is how to finish it properly rather than rushing through it. It started out with the theme of escape, but then my ideal compositio seem to be beyond my technical skill as a draftsman. Take two would be a conceptual self portrait, until that seemed a bit too stiff. Until i hit upon the concept again of freedome, using the space in full and incorporate every theme that has inspired me. From Belldandy and her sisters, from dragon ball z to Pokemon, from Sailor-moon to Slam Dunk. Sigh


Tonight though was a night of celebration, as a friend said a cheerful goodbye to the office. He is now in the last few stages to becoming a full fleged Architect. We wished him all the best, luck and hope he treats us to more beer in the future.

Two beers seem to be my quota these days as it has been a long time since the High School Days of yor drinking every day, a case of beer between four people. Those days seem like a blur. I guesse it was to be, considering the amount of aclohol we ingested.
