My second image.


Guess who's hands these are in this picture. You have to guess first before I tell you the answer. This is another assignment from CG 101, we had to get a black and white picture and add color to it in at least two different places. The finished result was to make an advertisement using as little words as possible or none at all. I think it's obvious of what's being advertised here.

Moving foward in life.


I'm back! and I finally have my first image up. Thanks to the suggestion I received about putting up my artwork. This was one of my assignments from my Computer Graphics 101 class, which was to draw a picture of a computer and make an advertisement from it. This computer is completely hand drawn on the computer using Adobe Illustrator. Of course, this picture just gave e-Machines computers some free advertisement. Some more artwork is on its way.

I have been so busy with school that I still haven't read the last five chapters of The Boy Who Heard Music, but I did stop by that blog and I noticed that Pete isn't taking anymore comments. Damn! To those who found me through there, I still look foward to your comments, and I'll try to keep up with blogging. Anyways, I am most definately going to the Art Institute. Just two weeks ago, I told them that I changed my mind and won't be going, but after that, I told them "nevermind." I was just scared because I am about to take the next step in life. Going to this school will help me get my degree faster than community college and I will be able to move out of my parent's house.

A Change of Plans?

I'm back! I have been so busy with school that I haven't had time to update, or even read the new chapters of "The Boy Who Heard Music." I have missed four chapters and I need to catch up. That's what happens when you have to do homework instead of going on the internet. Also, I was nervous about reading what comments I would get on my last post. I was afraid that y'all would think I'm crazy. OK, so about what I said about becoming a session guitarist, I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I was so excited about learning new things on the guitar that I thought of it as another career option. I mean I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Now I have a new direction I can go to get my degree in graphic design, I might be transferring to the Art Institute of Los Angeles, leaving behind the community college that I have been going to for too long. (I would've graduated sooner if only I hadn't dropped out of too many classes in the beginning.) Although I am doing a whole lot better now in school, going to this new school will get me my degrees faster, and the classes are more geared toward my major. When I do become a graphic designer, I will continue to paint, draw, and take photos, art that is done the old fashioned way without computers. This will be a way to do art for expression and not for the purpose of making money. I will continue to practice my guitar to play better. About designing guitars, I would still like to do that. I got an interesting comment from Simon Townshend saying that I should be designing them for the lesser or unknown guitarists, and you know what? He's right! I was not thinking clearly at that time. It was an ambitious idea to design for the already famous guitarists, but they already have enough design guitars. Thanks Simon. Well, that's enough for now. Hopefully I'll be back soon.
