I've definitely been watching too much Zombie Lincoln :I

First real snow of the season, and I had to jump at the opportunity.

I made my first brush and I feel cool:


tips/awesome resources/whatever helpful info about illustrator would be nice

I am, and always have been, an artist. Everything about art appeals to me: inspiration, conceptualization, the often overlooked sensation of a pencil scratching against the grain of a piece of paper, and most of all earning the unmatched feeling of pushing yourself beyond your previous limits to reach something greater.

Among the earliest memories I have of my childhood is of me watching the Jetsons and Scooby Doo on Cartoon Network at the age of three. Cartoons were fascinating to me, and by the age of five I started having thoughts about creating my own. It was an inner itch that would flare up whenever I watched my favorite shows. Inevitably, reruns became frequent and while watching the same shows over and over I began to make the mental crossover from watching cartoons to studying animation. The mechanics behind animation became my focus. How are cartoons made? That became my question, and my way of answering it was a matter of watching cartoons over and over, reasoning through concepts like "frames" and the "illusion of motion." I did not know the terminology, but I understood the concepts. At around that same time, I took an art class in which I was taught how to make a simple two-frame flip-book. I remember my subject choice being fish swimming among waving seaweed. Other than simply drawing, making these simple flip-books became my main preoccupation. It was not long before I began doodling all over my homework planners and creating fifty-page flip-books featuring simple stick figures dancing, fishing, or exploding.

I continued to draw, and improve my artistic skills, but the idea of actually finding a career in animation did not make itself completely clear to me until I was In my sophomore year at Penn Manor High School. I took a computer animation class instructed by one of the most influential people in my life: Mr. Shawn Canady. He gave me the fundamental knowledge, the encouragement, and the freedom to create my very first animation: a two minute forty-five second short labeled For the Ducks. It had a simple story, and the animation was crude by professional standards, but it was mine -- I had finally created my own cartoon. I had spent hours of constant work creating that animation, and there was not anything professional about it, but I loved it. To me it was absolutely the most beautiful piece of work that I had created to that day. I went on to take two independent study in computer animation classes with Shawn. During that time he pushed me toward a greater future. He encouraged me to test myself through competitions including the TSA competition for animation and game design, both in which I earned first place on the regional level. With his help, I also entered into the PA Computer Fair where I achieved first place in the category of desktop publishing. I had figured out exactly what I wanted to do with my life.

I believe that in order to get the most out of life a person has to do what they love, and have the raw effort and passion to take themselves as far as they possibly can. I absolutely love being an artist, and passion and determination are of abundant supply in my life. I have no doubt that these attributes will drive me to a great future. I will push myself to create today what I could not create yesterday. I aim to earn that feeling of surpassing myself everyday, and I want it to do it in a place that will keep me driven toward challenging myself: Drexel University.

don't fear the reaper

Dear diary:

I showed up to work today and as soon as I got there they told me to go home. They said they tried to call and left a message, but I didn't get it.

So I go there, and I figure, whatever, I'll make the best of it and at least just pick up my check. I go to cash my check and I find out that for the past 4-5 months my bank has had the wrong social security number and they have to fix it, which only took about five minutes.

I ended up depositing $777 and change into my account. I left the bank and stopped at McDonald's where I got a Big Mac value meal for $4.24 with a Hi-C orange to drink.

Today was a good day.

I suck right now, but I have high spirits!
Any resources, tips, personal experiences etc -- anything helpful would be appreciated from anyone who knows how to handle a bass.

Plus, I just wanted to let the clock crew know that I got a new bass and am now super stoked about playing it!

I got my dad this:


My mom's got a wii fit coming her way sometime after Christmas, when I can actually get the damn thing from a store that has it in stock.

I got my best friend something really cool, but I don't want to post it just yet lest wondering eyes find their way to this thread >>
Also I made them a cute flash

and a cookie scented candle for my secret santa at work -- they asked for either a candle or dish towels, so I went with the one that involved burning and scents

and had this!


Outstanding and affordable at ~$8.95

The dish is from a sushi menu, and is called "Desert Island."
Shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and eel
Each roll has a very satisfying crunch to it because of the tempura batter.

The restaurant is called Wasabi, and they have a pretty fancy website as well at http://www.wasabius.com/

1.5 slices of swiss
4 slices of peppered turkey breast
2 slices of honey-oat bread
some mustard in an "M" configuration

served with a Coke and a shortbread cookie

I'm in heaven

also I drew a fishy c:

Before I left for work, I noticed the mooi lighting outside my window, and I just had to take a few shots. This one came out the best of them all.

To make it clear: this IS natural lighting; what you see is what I saw through my camera.

boom baby
