Updates from this semesters 117b viz dev class taught by Ruben Perez.

This project's about The Addams Family's German cousins, but unlike the addams the cousins are somewhat ashamed of being monsters. can't tell? they have already started coming to terms. The dad's retort, i really wasn't born this way.. His head was encased in amber at one point and the genepool decided to carry it on. The wife is a harpy and that home in the mountains is originally hers.

I constantly found myself scrapping and reworking EVERYTHING I did all semester. i'm never satisfied, but that shouldn't stop me from moving forward. i have to work on timing. it really is

the key

I vill find time to paint the little girl's room but for now, here we go :)

Over the summer, I got an opportunity to work with a theater production here at SJSU. the production is a play called, Wonder of the World, directed by the lovely Jessica Salans. I went to see it opening night and it is ridiculous absolute fun.

I did these two posters for it as well as a postcard and portraits of the cast. I am so glad to have met everyone on the team!! and I'd love for more collaborations to happen in the future

caps off to you guys!

Found this lying around on my desktop and realizedd.. that I'd forgotten to post this! Our art 114 animation group last semester tried to do an art exchange. We picked names out of a hat and did a little something based on the characters from their animations. Eunice i choose yooou! oou

Her animation was about a fish who steals a smooch from some sexy lady on the beach. In the animation the lady finds it repulsive, but I turned some cogs for this one hoo hoo hoo

glad you liked it eunice :}

2010-07-07T15:23:00.000-07:00

gorgeous gorgeous daylight, owns me again. No matter what, I can't seem to catch the illumination I feel from looking at the actual scenes.

Some pleinaires from last week. First is done in Photoshop, second with acrylic.

and an update! Finally some breathing space before diving back for finals. These have been some of the most exhausting/amazing months since... preschool. one of the first trees I did for Bunny's class. it's a personal favorite

only okay, i know. But man, did I learn a lot.

it's been a great semester but it's not over yet. lay the bread out now, but we should toast later. ehe.(you can slap me now)

goodluck with finals all

I explored the wonderful world of ballpoint bics. I never got to updating during that time, so here we go finally. oh and.. whole wheat rocks. it just does. Thank you Trader Joe.

Spring [break] is in the air! Have a good one, all. Some figures to kick it off.

big torso, wittle legs. that seems to be a trend lately

as an update about schoolwork~
comps were due today. For the first time ever, I didn't go late into the night cramming for an art project. WOO

It's okay to look at the surface, the shape of things. sometimes it will draw you in. but eventually you want to feel it too, like it's actually something real.

more sketchies

2009-08-01T22:52:00.001-07:00

more sketches. at borders and then on the BART
and then the rainbow.

2009-07-08T14:54:00.000-07:00

i've been doing more doodles, which isn't all that good cause most of them are just floating heads or torsos. I got Bobby Chiu's artbook, Guy Sketches, in the mail the other day and I'm looking through it right. oh my god, I LOOOVE the way he draws faces. there's a lot of variety in them, which is something I can't quite get in mine. So i start copying them because I love them so much. Bobby's my heroo oo o.
I add a couple of my own. the pencil ones are the faces from his book.

more sketching at the library.

take it easy

noooo

2009-05-26T13:26:00.000-07:00

my friend has been bothering me to put up my crappy final comic so here it is in it's wrinkly and craptastical glory.

My first all nighter of the semester was for this final comic, UGHH. i kept making mistakes, whiting them out, then making different mistakes on top of thatASDFGHJK

on a lighter note, as I was looking for references for fish tanks, I came across this thing which is a table aquarium. how. do you change the water for this thing? A friend of mine told me about his dream home having aquarium floors. I would rather vacumn.

you guys better be having good summers.
