4 weeks left for school

time passes by so fast when you have too much on your plate...

easter weekend @ wondercon

Wondercon weekend did damage for my pocket, books are my vices. i simply CANNOT stop collecting them. HELP.

a drawing from the sustain figure drawing class taught by Francis Livingston, the model Angie, was actually Filipino+white but i was inspired by the Princess and the Frog panel @ Wondercon that i decided to apply some New Orleans into the drawing :)

life after spring break

wait.. what break?!

lesson

i'm bummed today.. :( i didn't get a job i was sure i could do well in.. my bad for assumming art directors who have seen my work will be able to know i can draw 'non-cartoony' figures with all the posts that i have of my figure drawing. it's disappointing.. but life has to go on.

Who has some pb&j to offer?

p.s. the colors look funky today..
#1. i had a bad setting for the camera
#2. sad day for me :(

i attended class today

its a rainy day here in the bay area...

2nd semester in grad school

i might have said this before, but GRAD SCHOOL IS INTENSE! so to make life even more challenging for myself, i'm planning to present the concept for my thesis this summer (!!!!!) this presentation usually happens after the 3rd or 4th semester... but i think i'm ready. I'm in the process of brain-storming for an epic story idea right now... boy! that has been quite an ordeal. if you have a cool story for me to create concept art for, HOLLA!

that's when a life-drawing class with Francis Livingston comes in handy, it balances the stress of writing a story.
