no drawings or videos to post!

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,

word on!

got some drawing done in the last little while.

been happy that i got some traction on that front.

also bought a new wacom tablet

(intuos5 sml)

need to get used to that since ive been on cintiq since i got to the states.

 

been sad for some of my homies who got layed off recently,

or had some serious shit go down in thier lives.

 i am thankful for everything i have,

but at the same time i know friends are bleedin out there.

if there is someone you know out there

that is hurtin,

just show some support.

people out there like to disappear when shit hits the fan...yo fuck that.

at the same time,

if you are bleedin,

shout out to your peoples for help.

sometimes people just dont know.

for example,

i dont live on facebook and twitter.

i like to holla at friends and see how they are for reals,

FUCK lookin at 1 sentence posts.

social media is...so cold.

on some other shit...

just bought nas - life is good lp today.

seems decent so far.

i wanna speed them up and get them to....under 2min?

and maybe commentate over them.

i just have to come up with intro,

and maybe figure out how audio will roll.

ill continue to post progress,

and make this a real project.

5000.

 

 

 

canada!

canada day!
i love me some canada,
and it is my first away from it.
one thing i learned out here,
dont take anything for granted.
you dont realize what you miss until you do not have it.

just being in canada meant alot.
alot of people in the states are shitting on obamacare,
and i realize how much canada rocks with healthcare.

i just finished a scorpion image,

need to work on new shit.
more fighting stuff is coming,
maybe back to the big one...who knows.

im also workin on 3-4 video projects....

right now it is in a super raw form.

i need to create intros, edit audio,

and some other cool additions during these videos.

maybe its because im trying to do this all at once,

instead of one at a time....

but my attention deficit disorder is really shining through.

im slowing grinding at all of these projects,

im not really bored with any of them,

so there is a good chance

 that these will get finished.

moment of silence to:

radical entertainment

(damn another vancouver development studio in pain)

big huge games

(but now epic games baltimore! some light out there)

day one studios

(shout outs to those guys, another murland studio)

damn,

im hoping things turn around in the industry.

i hope everyone has hope, and is well after the massive shake up.

buzay!

been super buzay lately. 

ive got ^this^ done in the last little 

while which shows

how much craze is goin on right now.

im glad that my life has changed so much in the last 7 years. 

before i would just live at work, 

and i would be buzy from that.

but now its more about expanding horizons, 

and living life. 

 im so happy right now, 

and appreciative that im wasting less time in my life. 

that said, im trying not to whine or shit on anyone out there. 

times get hard, 

and people need positivity rather bullshit these days. 

why add to the hate train? 

shout outs to peoples that are still down with me. 

its SUPER EASY to be "out of sight, out of mind" 

but my true peoples stuck around and put up with some shit. 

also, i hopped off the facebook train 

and onto the real life experience train. 

im glad to see someone i havent heard from in a long time. 

i dont want to know all the shit they 

are up to before that. 

when i see em, 

i have something to talk about. 

and they have experiences to share. 

and ill keep it that way. 

i loved me some facebook back in the day to connect with old friends, 

and i am thankful for that... 

but time to keep it movin.

for me:

 my first cassette tape was licensed to ill.

my first 2 cds ever were licensed to ill and mama said knock you out.

those 2 albums got me through high school and college.

ive bought every beastie boys album at least 3 times.

am i a fan? kinda.

damn im bummed out.

its funny how last sunday

i was listening to that mick boogie mixtape,

and now mca is gone.

i spent the last couple of days listening to my rare vinyl,

and albums while drawing.

i gotta say,

i was looking forward to the next beastie project...

or hoping they would release hot sauce pt. 1.

fuck.

while collecting my vinyl to take the pic above,

i forgot about how much exclusive stuff they had.

and if you are wondering,

YES i tried to buy everything in doubles.

(its a dj thing)

last month i found 'the mix-up' on vinyl,

which was the last full length album i needed.

now time to find a double!

(same for 'to the five boroughs')

love american style, was cool and had super rare shit...

b-sides galore.

i was a proud owner of a shitload of singles

and exclusive japanese versions of albums.

for 'ill communication' LP i gotz:

ill communication cassette

ill communication cd north america

ill communication cd japan (which had a shitton of extra tracks)

ill communication cd north america #2 (cause the first one was so scratched up)

ill communication vinyl

ill communication vinyl #2 (always get doubles)

root down single cd version 2

and thats how it was FOR EVERY ALBUM.

i have lots missing,

and would like to get them all...

damn they cared for fans.

extra stuff if you really looked for it.

fuck.

but to see someone go...man its tough.

i felt this way when jam master jay went.

another legendary group that will not be the same.

yo shout out to mca.

ever listen to an album and know exactly where you were when you first heard it?

ill communication - was skipping high school,

walking home with my yellow sports walkman blasting that shit.

a week later i got accepted into college.

i blasted that album that whole summer in celelbration.

alot of aa batteries were killed.
