++ Back to What You K N O W

Just a little update

Not much really happened

But let's see where this gets us

~~~

So after this whole convention and artist alley thing happened, I've pretty much been drawing everyday. I want to get back to how I used to draw, not necessarily the technique but the familiarity i had. I used to be able to pick up a piece of paper and sketch happily what I had in my head, but now its a bit harder than that. I'm getting a bit rusty, I hope. I mean, I technically haven't been drawing for a half a year and a bit on paper, so of course I'd expect something like this. Too much digital i think.

Anyway, not much else worth noting happened, except working a crap-load. Ugh, it's getting a bit much lately, but I'll cope with it.

Hmm, let's end with a little "25 random facts about me" thing a friend gave to me:

1. Most important thing in my world is my family. Friends are family too!

2. Music and drawing are my life, dancing is my wife.

3. My favourite colour is red.

4. My goal is to own a multi-million dollar earning company.

5. There's only four people I'd turn gay for in this world; Usher, T.I., Robin Thicke and Me! (No I'm not gay you ASS)

6. I'm a deep thinker. I can spend days thinking on the most random of things; from what I want to eat tomorrow, to how life began.

7. My mind is creative, it's just that my hands don't listen.

8. I learn new things everyday. Even the smallest of things can give the biggest of lessons.

9. Still misses Japan.

10. Sometimes I think I'm too smart for my own good.

11. I'm only doing this cos I'm THAT bored.

12. I wait all day, then I wait all night.

13. I'm soft and smushy on the outside, but on the inside I'm a mother fucking killer.

14. I keep a lot of things to myself, A LOT.

15. I never show how pissed I really am. I always stay happy, even on the shittest of days.

16. I've always craved to get into a fight. I sometimes feel like I just want to fuck someone up.

17. You don't want to see me when I'm angry.

18. If I ever get angry with you, you really must've done some fucked up shit to get me that pissed.

19. In my whole highschool life, I've only ever been truly pissed at someone once. Every other day I spend smiling.

20. I forgive people easily. The person I was pissed at that one time during highschool, I forgave the next day, we good buddies still =]

21. When it comes to friends and family, I always remember things to the littelest thing. When it comes to school, I forget the minute I walk out the class.

22. I used to have a lot of dreams when I was younger. Nowadays I hardly ever get one.

23. I'm an aspiration type of guy. I always make goals and do my best to obtain it.

24. I love cats! But, I'm also allergic to them... T__t

25. I'm glad that this things over and done with =D


OKAY ANYWAY, I'm now honestly thinking I should delete this later. HAHAHA

Haha, that wasted too much of my time

I could've done something more useful to me

Well, I'ma go shower now anyway

Today was fun

So much to say

But I'll keep this one short...ish

~~~

As I mentioned yesterday, I went to the con today! Hahaha, wasn't expecting much to come from today, but in the end I really enjoyed myself. I'm not the type to be really into the stuff that happens at a con, like the cosplays/screenings/sales/competitions, but the thing that really caught my eye was watching as artists drew their customers.

I spent a majority of my time there talking to the artists that were selling their stuff there. I really feel inspired to look at the works of these people. I really admire how they can do something like that. How they draw these pictures and get them professionally printed to sell at the con. It may not be career thing, but I really enjoy looking at those that take it as a hobby and genuinely love drawing.

I really wish to be in that position one day.

Two artists that really caught my eye was a 24 year old guy and a 16 year old girl. I talked to them two the most, and learnt a lot of things from the. The guy was doing portrait drawings for his customers whilst the girl was selling postcards, prints, stickers and other things like that. I really like the drawing style the guy had. It's something similar to how I want to be able to draw, so I'm currently keeping a close eye on his progress. The girl is a real inspiration. She's so young and she is able to manage her own stall. Also, I actually really liked her drawings, ended buying quite a bit from her, hahahha. I also managed to grab both their emails, so I'm happy about that.

Okay, so now that you know I spent most of my time at the artists section, let's move onto what I bought there.



First, I bought quite a few things done by the local artists here. They really inspire me, so why not? I bought 9 postcards, 2 posters, 1 original drawing and a local artbook. I am really proud of buying the GunGrave Artbook! I've been a fan of Yasuhiro Nightow for a long time! I love his Trigun and GunGrave series. He served as one of the inspirations during the time i was still learning to grasp my drawing abilities. Hmm, oh and I also bought a DVD called Takeshis', a movie made by Takeshi Kitano about himself. I am a huge fans of his movies and I own a boxset of all the movies he's directed up until Zatoichi, his 2003 feature film which won numerous awards internationally. Takeshi's came out in 2005, so I haven't got it yet. I'm really looking forward to watching it. Oh, also, I really loved his "Dolls" movie. If you haven't heard of it yet, I suggest to look it up. It's a really touching story(ies).

Okayy, I guess that's enough or today.

Hmm, was that short?

Maybe not short enough??

Pfft, yeah I tried my hardest, so it better be short!
