yo-oh!


didnt really posting last week... been grinding on drawing, 
and life! 
the summer has been good, 
and i just need to stay in the moment. 

above is some random stuff.
i decided to draw on this comic pad i had
for the longest time.
i always wanted to make my own comic cover,
so here goes!
i think i will either:
a) redraw with better proportions and inking
or
b) redo in illustrator + colors!

i really want to get better with vectors in general,
so i think imight go in that direction.
im having fun just fucking around with drawing in general.
also have been getting inspired by
some artists on behance and dribble.
(cant forget to shoutout cghub and deviantart)
maybe ill post some of my faves on here on the next post to show
what i am looking at!

as i sit here,
im waiting through 2 tornado warnings
2 flood warning throughout the day.
the sky is BLACK.
yo damn.
but shout outs to random east coast weather.

been listening to:
m.o.p. - first family 4 life lp
 jay-z - the blueprint 3 lp
jay-z - in my lifetime vol 1 lp

production!



productive today!
i find life goes in cycles.
i had a major revelation yesterday,
and realized something major.
life changing.
i can recall major life changes like
moving to the three cities i moved to.
but also it was
finding running and yoga,
realizing myself through work and self reflection,
and lots of thinking.
all of that stuff has been valuable in my life,
but one of the most valuable lessons ive learned
this weekend was:
getting rid of the word "try".
 its the hardest thing ln life to do.
(at least for me)

my tendencies
(if you havent noticed)
is to start a whole bunch of shit and not really finish.
im not sure what it is that makes me stop.
but im determined to figure it out.
OR
switch it so that my projects are smaller
and more managable with the time that i have.
i think im going to switch it so that i have more mangable pieces.

the project i have going on are not going to stop.
instead im going to do smaller versions of each
so that it is easier to copmlete.
once again im trying to achieve too much in so little time.
currently listening to:
vado - slime flu lp
large professor - professor at large lp
masta ace inc - slaughtahouse lp

wack list 2012:
I AM NOT FEELING THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW.
rick ross - god forgives, i dont lp
nicki minaj - roman reloaded lp
drake - take care lp

not to really hate on new rap....
but damn. they are making coaster rap right now.
below:
large professor featuring cormega and tragedy khadafi - focused up
so ridiculously hype.
i love the deeper cuts on albums that not really talked about.
also,
masta ace featuring eyecyurock, uneek, lord digga + dj premier- saturday night live
masta ace featuring paula perry, mc negro, ignorant mc - slaughtahouse
so dope.
it basically called out the crazy murder rap of the times.
hall of fame rap for sure.
up there with my other 'ignorant' personal favs:
j-zone - 5 years
black sheep - u mean im not

enjoying summer, but still working on stuff.

recently been working on my painting skills
and slowly getting a look i like.
since i havent done it in so long,
its like coming up with a new style all over again,
and finding myself as an artist.
(which is great!)

the video editing has come to a screeching halt.

but itll be easy to get back into once i do!

current projects:
scarlet painting
 new 52 wonder woman drawing
2011-2012 videoz

currently listening to:
40 cal - mooga lp
mobb deep - hell on earth lp
funkdoobiest - which doobie u b? lp

below is from the newest funkdoobiest which went under the radar.
it sounds like thier original stuff which was awesome back in the day. 
to compare

 "i flip do some kung-fu
