new bold

i rented and watched "thumbsucker" today. very good film. all music was done by the Polyphonic Spree, with additional songs by Elliot Smith.

Is art distracting me school, or is school distracting me from art?

or is something else distracting me from both?

but each gate will open another.

Flight Volume 3 will be out June 2006. everybody get excited.

sorry i haven't been posting anything substantial lately. i'm too lazy, and most of my artistic ability is being taken up by favours to people, and the sketchbook journal which is coming along very nicely.

man i apologize too much.

scripted lies

I think that sometimes there comes a moment in our lives when we wish things could just be a bit more like television. I know televsion isn't like real-life at all, but I believe that sometimes we just wish something we said was the perfect thing to say and not sound like some cheesy line.
Or you're with someone special and you just wish that you could say something totally sporadic, but important to the moment without them reacting like you're a total creepball.
The setting would be atmospheric, and the perfect song would be playing in the background just loud enough for the audience to hear the lyrics, but also be able to hear that one thing you've been dying to say all episode. Then after you've you've strung the perfect set of words together, the person reacts exactly as you want them to, the music grows slowly louder, the screens goes black, and the executive producer's name is displayed.

but life is not like that. and we have to ask ourselves, would we really want it to be?

mostly trouble

Today i cleaned out my closet, and that took me most of the day. it was tres messy. it was like looking through a five foot by five foot by two foot time capsule. I came across so many old drawings, and doodles, and many other little trinkets of my childhood and highschool career.
The coolest thing i found was my very first sketchbook.

Yesterday was a long kinda weird day. i was done school at like 11 am, and had nothing to do afterwards except get into trouble. which i did.

there'll be comic soon.

worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.

So it's a been a while, eh?

sorry my computer hasn't been working so it got sent away and now it's back, and it's fixed. i hope you can read the writing in the picture. if you can't it basically says that i'm starting a sketchbook journal. i'll post the entry from each day on here. it'll mostly be drawing of people, objects, places, etc. The idea was inspired by Craig Thompson's "Carnet de Voyage"; a sketchbook journal he made during his time in France, Spain, Morocco and the Alps, while researching his next graphic nov: "Habibi".

anyways, the last two week have been pretty uneventful... sorta. I got into the Bealart program, and i'm pretty happy about that. There isn't much more to say. i'm not a fan of advertising my life on the internet, except maybe through a comic if the mood strikes me.
