te stick #2!

got a good run in

on this drawing last weekend.

(above is progress from thursday)

ive added a bear, and working on a bulldog.
time for more animals....and work on stylizing them.

on some other ish,....
i bought another street fighter 4 tournament edition stick!
it came directly from the capcom usa online store,
and got it THE NEXT DAY. WTF!!!!
so now, ive got a stick at work and one at home.
(how gay is that?)
soon i will rule the world with my (weak sauce) street fighter skill.

^above^
realized i didnt show where
i stopped on the last drawing.
after this drawing i may go back and finish this,
but somehow i doubt it.
i didnt like the overall quality,
and thought i could do better.
i think too much time has passed and
cant get back into the groove of this one.
all of the drawing definitely represent
a period of my life and what is going on...
on alot of the drawings i can recall what happened,
and in some ways its a journal/diary.

anyways...
my xbox got da 3 light red ring of death.
i was really bummed out,
but i got more time to concentrate on drawing...
which is what i should be doing anyways.

anyways, i started cleaning up the xbox accesories
which is where i kept my zapped camera and lenses.
i noticed the camera had power. (what?!!!)
my camera had been dead for at least 2 months.
so i turned it on and BAM! it works!!!
i dont have to get a new camera and
now i can put financial focus to the computer.
(high five to god)

i have a new focus for photography,
since i had this downtime without my camera.
i spent the time reading up
on some of my favorite photographers.
(martin parr, stephen shore, joel meyerowitz)
ive some ideas as to what to attack for my next project(s).
time to get buzy over the summer,
and come up with some documentaries and
some thoughts of vancouver life.

currently listening to some gangsta ish:
ganksta n.i.p. - the south park psycho
(the most hardcore gangsta album ever lol)
geto boys - the resurrection
(remember office space? smash that ish!!!)
n.w.a. - straight outta compton
(if it aint ruff, it aint me)
ice-t - home invasion
(yea ice, ice m. f. TEE!)
tim dog - penicillin on wax
(tell 'em whos stompin'! f*** compton!)
slayer - reign in blood
(just for more angry ish - angel of death!!!)

part two!

got a bunch of tips over at the comic con,
and some new ideas for drawings.
theres were lots of unknown artists,
who were great to talk to about getting into the industry...

got a bunch of books out of the trip:

shane glines' book - cartoon retro 1
stuart immonen's book - centifolia
dave johnson signed print
snk art collection book
function junction 1 book (a collection of japanese digital illustrations)

punch-out!

because i forget these things....
the company i work for made a little game called
punch-out!!! for nintendo wii.
the game is baller!
and a throwback to the classic punch-out.
im happy to have worked on it for half a second,
and pumped that its finally out for people to enjoy.
(sorry for the late notice).
on the punch out website!
im happy that my pixelated loading character made it on there.

anyways,
before i start posting the next set
of images from the seattle comic con,
ill throw up a current state of the drawing
ive been working on.
im starting to draw more animals.
so far: a dog, pidgeon, and a cat.
next up: maybe a bear, squirrel, an eagle.
this drawing is turning out alot better than
the last one...im thinking of actually redoing the last one.
(even though im already 60+% done that one)

- mike huddleston page from gen 13

number 4!

been a long time,
but i hope to post now on a more regular basis.
(for reals this time)
the reason for NOT posting is
because of my computer is sooo sloow.

anyways i started on drawing number four.
im having alot more fun with this one over the other ones.
the size of the characters and also a new plan of attack
should be fun for this one.
also,
im going to make some smaller drawings,
and....color them?
gonna give it a shot,
lately ive been into markers again.
there was a big sale over at the art
store and they were blowing out tria markers.
i also plan to get a set of copic markers (wtf).
who knows if this fad will die out like it did during college,
but im giving it a shot.
i didnt think id get back to drawing on a regular basis....

but here i go again....
