I...

Never finish anything. :p





I need to finish more things. Also work on my composition among other things. My mind is racing like a million miles an hour on shit I need to "finish" artistic wise. College is coming up and hopefully my transfer to University. I feel like I'm still in a "cartoony" age even with my portraits. :/ Not bueno.

Stay up.

I don't know...

Why I usually wait for like one whole month to update this blog. :p I'm starting to fall out of the "internet social circle" anyways. Blah. I hope to update soon but I haven't done much of anything as of late. I haven't drawn anything since the last time. I've attempted to paint some portraits but thats ended terribly. :/ Nonetheless the band I play drums for (Which has the dumbest name EVER) is actually doing quite well. We're supposed to play at some club. 1919 or something like that. And that could possibly lead to us getting to go on tour! Oh my. BUT! Like I've been saying we need to write our own songs as I'm tired of Incubus covers and if I have to play HEY YA! one more time I swear I'm going to kick in my drums and never look back.

I'm just ranting though. My mind longs for a relationship. I haven't had a meaningful one of those in a while (two years coming up on three). :/ lets see what college brings.

Nonetheless so we're set to play this gig, we've gotten more studio offers. HOPEFULLY we take them. I seriously want to get into a studio. But I don't know.

I need to focus on more obtainable goals ie ART. My love, my passion, my desire, etc etc.

I guess thats it. I'll update this more often hopefully.

Stay up.

I suck...

As an artist.


The end.

Stay up.

Nyan-Nyan

Like that one Yu-Gi-Oh card I liked for some reason...



I really need to learn how to draw backgrounds. :p
I wonder how Reiq does it?

Stay up.

WIP

I've been neglecting my tablet (and art) a lot as of lately. I'm very divided in my time. :P I need to focus if I'm serious about College. Which I am.

I've been widdling away at this for a while now. I'm actually getting sick of looking at it but I need to finish something so Blah.

UPDATE!!!

Time for an update.

A lot has happened recently so lets try to tackle these in some kind of order.

COLLEGE: I DO still plan to go. Its just not this year. Like I'm going to take my basics at TCC this year (that ways I can weasel out of having to take SATS and then I can just work on my portfolio easier. So yes, college is still a plan for me. I did get lazy and stop working on my portfolio since my last post. Hell I haven't drawn anything since then either come to think of it...

RELATIONSHIPS: As far as I know I'm still single. And still searching. But a relationship isn't really at the top of my priority list at the moment.


MUSIC: This is my current project. So Saturday night/Sunday morning (10:30pm - 3:00am) I was in the middle of downtown (not really the middle of downtown but on the corner of Houston and 3rd) Playing as a temporary drummer in a band. On top of making a nice amounts of money. We got offered 1000 dollars to play at a club in Denton. But before that we got this offer from this guy dubbed "Hollywood" to record a demo. He liked our music playing enough that he was in fact serious (I thought the guy was bullshitting us but he called yesterday) and apparently we're set to get some studio time! But I don't know it seems like we're on the road to stardom to fast and easy. I mean shit really? Record deal anyone? Anyways so we exchanged info and Sunday I get a text from the lead guitarist telling me that "Hollywood" called him and said he wants us to record. Go figure. Then two chicks come by and they're all like hey we're from artsfifthavenue.com and we want you guys to play for us. I'm like whoa thats two offers!!! She was asking me about teaching drumming to youth but I'm not one for teaching. As I'm no Chad Smith myself. Nonetheless so she gives us her card and we get her offer. THEN the big 1g offer. So it all started with these black guys walking down the street and us playing a cover of Talk Show on Mute by Incubus. And they're like, "Hey kick us a beat" so all of a sudden me and Rudy (Lead guitarist) are playing them this beat and they kick like this 10 minute long freestyle battle. It was amazing yet scary at the same time. Never before had I seen so many black people gather around. I figured the cops would shut us down. But nope they didn't. I really wish I had recorded it. So anyways they're freestyling like there's no tomorrow. And after they finish the guys like hey how much would it cost to get you guys to come and play for our spot in Denton. And so Alfonso (Lead Guitarist/Vocals) is like "Like 1000" not being serious. But the guy took it serious and was like, "Like 1000 or 1000?" so this epic conversation ensues about how much we're going to get paid and the guys like "cool cool" BAM 1000 easily. Just for kicking a simple rock beat that I learned when I first started to play the drums. And thats when our band name was decided. Tree by the Street.

Nonetheless this weekend was amazing. I actually can't wait to go back and do it again next weekend to see what kind of bank we roll in and what other offers come in. As far as I know though we're set to record sometime soon and maybe actually get a track done. I seriously need new cymbals and drum heads before then though...

ISSUES: Speeding ticket. 96 on a 60. Cop only got me because I thought he was an ambulance. :p that tickets going to be expensive but I'm going to pay a traffic lawyer to take care of it for me. I'm going to be flat broke after that though. :/

I guess thats it. I should really draw more often. I'm going to start drawing more often actually. I miss it. I'm sure it misses me.

Anyways its 5am so I should probably be trying to get some sleep or something like that?

Stay up.

Its that time again..

When I wait until last minute to go to college and in some miraculous way manage to put together a decent portfolio in time to register only to get denied my student loan. Just like last year. Anyways this year I've got lots of schools in mind and I'm lowered it down to my top 3.

Only problem is 2 of them require SAT1 scores and I've never taken SAT's yet alone prepared to take them. :p Hell I can barely add to save my life so yeah not possible. But I'm determined to get outta here and explore the world so this is portfolio piece number 1. I'm going to be cheap and use some of the ones I did last year just to catch me up. So we'll see how it goes wish me luck!



Fuck I hate doing portfolios.
This picture as the others are more than likely going to be undergoing serious renovations to ensure they're done to my utmost ability.

Stay up.

The...

KIT.







>:)

It needs new cymbals though because the ones I have now sound like complete shit. :/

Stay up.

I remember when I was younger and my counselor would ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" me being the dorky little kid I was and obsessed with Bust-A-Groove would always respond "A nascar driver or a dancer!" which would usher me odd looks but what did I care? I was young and carefree or stupid if you wish.

Funny how as I look back on my youth and where I'm headed now I realize that when you're young things are more simpler; and when you're older they become more complicated. Responsibilities, fulfillment, wants and desires all come into effect. When you're younger you're almost carefree. Like swinging on a swing set but you're legs aren't long enough to reach the ground so you just sway to and fro, back and forth, the world beneath your feet, your mind carefree.

It was good to be young.
I can now honestly say "when I was younger" and it have actual meaning.
I wonder what life has in store for me now...
I wonder where tomorrow will take me and where yesterday has left me...

Its time to start making things "happen" and not wait for them to happen.

Got a long way to go, this is just the milestone on this crazy adventure called "life".


Happy 20th Makasu

Stay up.

Great way....

To start off the new year but completely wrecking my body... :/

ALAS as my last name has some terrible curse on it and anything thats bad seems to gravitate towards me like I have my own orbit or something another.

I slip.

And completely mess my body up.
Stomach was all cut up, hand are completely fucked. Just typing this is putting me through a lot of pain. Elbow dislocated. Leg cut up. Surprisingly enough though my pinkie didn't break. Which I figured it would because its all cut up but thats it.

So now I have 4 holes in my hand and then some. My left hand got off lucky only two holes in it. The right though. Nu-uh. 4 holes, torn up knuckles, cut to shreds pinkie, hole in my wrist [[wtf?]] and palm scratched to high hell. Oh boy oh joy what a great way to start off whats more than likely going to be another shitty year.

I need to start doing college prep as I have plans to attempt to attend Uni. sometime this fall. "Attempt" being the key word. But with my hands all mangled up likes like all the drawing is on halt.

Albeit this happened on the 31st. I walked into work, blood everywhere. Like I had just survived a Quentin Tarantino slasher flick or something, AND STILL HAD TO WORK! Ain't that some shit? My job is very discriminate against race. :/ If you're not Thai you're not shit. You don't get days off to play "soccer" you fall, you still have to work. And oh boy oh joy don't let you get injured. Just slap on some gloves and you're good to go!

I need a new job and fast. Music store is hiring so I'll put in an application there. Maybe I can score a drum kit off them for cheap or something. Hahaha.

ANYWAYS all that aside I'm all bandaged up, still have to work, still car less, girlfriendless, and anything else bothering me. Go figure. Story of my life.

So this year is starting off bad. Last year did too [[IE gf running off to get married to 10 year older guy. Also revealing that she's pregnant by him. Whilst I was none the wiser.]] Yep so lets see what this year brings.

Here's something I was working on but I couldn't get it to look right so now its just shit.

I SERIOUSLY need to practice anatomy...
