California or Bust!

Looks like I'm heading on the road this time next week. Heading out from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, for this two day seminar on Flash 8 Character Animation Chris Georgenes, Friday and Saturday, April 7 and 8. It should be a great learning experience and a good excuse to go to L.A. for a little while. So if anyone is attending this next week, feel free to give me a hollar. Hopefully, I have time to stop by and see my old buddies at Animax. I better start practicing my gang signs*. Word.

*note: In no way, am I affiliated with the Crips or the Bloods and in no way condone the organization or the violence associated with gang activity. Peace in the Middle East!:P

Its Late...and again I am wide awake.

I did this one actually a couple of days ago. Its late and I am so wide awake right now. I've been going to the gym late at night so I seem to have a little trouble winding down to go to sleep.

Mo' Doodles

This is just an attempt to put as much on one page as possible...And yes, again another sleepless night.

Dooda-Lee-Doo!

Yeah, so I got rollin' with my new sketchbook. Its just a little 5x7 sketchbook. I'm pretty much focusing this book on just stress free doodles. I don't give a crap what these drawings look like, just little doodles here and there, just to get me drawing again. Here is a couple of pages I started last night, when I was suffering from a bit of insomnia.

Its Not Even the Lack of Trying

I know, I know, why do I even bother having a blog anymore? Its true, I haven't been drawing as much as in the past, but I think as an artist, I am having a disaster as far as my own personal art. Maybe, its the fact, that I do this for a living or maybe I'm just not really inspired by anything or any one right now. I could be tired of seeing the same old stuff, the same styles. Everybody drawing the same. Maybe everything has just become generic. And everything has gone bland. I try to draw and all I see is the same stuff I've been seeing. Nothing special, nothing thats breakthrough as far as my own personal standards go. God, I think I'm just sick of the same old shit. I don't know, maybe I'm just stressing a little too much and causing myself to have some sort of artist block. God this sucks. The fire is still burning inside, just don't have enough to kindle that flame. Maybe I am just so preoccupied with life and I just don't have the energy to persue my interests. Not that I am not happy with life, I love where I am in life right now. Theres the baby, my wife, our new house. Maybe, I'm just bitching too much.
