Crazy 4 Cult 2!!!

I Know this is late, but hey, i just got time to post it. So here it is.. Last friday i went to a gallery opening in west la. It was for Crazy 4 Cult 2 at Gallery1988. It was a really fun show. All the artwork was dome by artist interpreting their favorite cult classics. I love alot of the movies that were shocased in the work, but i have to say that the peice called "The Hit List" and "Buffer Overflow" weremy show favorites. I took a bunch of pictures so if you want to check them out, i have them on my flickr.

Friends

I love hanging out with friends. There are people you're cool with, and then there are friends. People that you feel comfortable with, people you don't mind hanging out with for a whole day and still do absolutely nothing. Celebrating Ice Cream Cake day, and National S'more day (next yr), and all other real and made up holidays. Going to (Angels) Baseball games, and staying for extra innings when others leave. Friends are what keeps my sanity after running my brain dead with architecture and graphic design. I feel lucky that i have such good ones, and although a small group, they're always there and always fun. To you all, Thank You.

ROCK THE BELLS!!!

So I went to Rock The Bells this sat. My brother got me tickets for my birthday. It was one of the best shows I've been to lately. Nas, Mos Def, The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest, everyone was great. Although it was hot, the show was awesome. Taking a break from the main stage, we went off to see the Cool Kidz, Tyga, and the Kids in the Hall. All in all it was a good time. Now its off to see Ozomatli at the Hollywood Bowl.

3d Modeling - BLENDER

i know i havent posted in a long time, but im now getting started on some interesting things.

so.. ive been playing around with an open source program called Blender. Its actually pretty powerful. Although there is a bit of a learning curve, thats because it dosen't look like any of the other programs ive used (3dmax, rhino, cad, sketchup), but so far its been real fun. im looking forward to posting some of my renders once i get the program worked out. If you wanna try it out go get it, its free. www.blender.org also check out some of the cool things people have done with the program.

Spring....

This means BASEBALL!!!! I love this game. So many memories as a kid going to games. Hot Dogs, Crakerjacks, peanuts, and now, in my adult days, BEER!!! Going to the ball park is so much fun. The game has the power to go from drab and slow, to uber exciting in just 1 pitch. I've gotten to go to my first game of the season, and although my team lost, I still had a blast. Go ANGELS!!!

Photography

I've been taking pictures with my Nikon D40 for about a year now. I would still consider myself a beginning amateur. But, I guess I just haven't spent the time to take the pictures I want. I've taken some ok pictures, but none that i really have gone.. wow, thats good. And then, one fateful morning, before i left to work - eureka!!! I got a picture that I'm truly proud of. I think that there might be more in the works for me. And now that I have the time to learn more, I think I might be able to come up with more quality shots. So heres my first picture I'm truly proud of. And believe me, this is the first of many to come. :)

Pin Ups and Illustrator

So... seeing as I have some free time on my hands, i think I'm gunna take a crack at using Illustrator more. My cousin is a pretty good artist, although her artistic efforts are cut short by her parents. She has recently been doing some Pin up girl art. It looks pretty darn good if you ask me. I think that if she went on to maybe digitize the sketches she might be able to get more out of it. So... I'm taking a shot at making her pieces of art, into really nice, editable line art. If there are any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment, i could use the help. I'll be posting up some before and after images soon.
