How am I? Pretty chill, if I don't say so myself. I'm taking an "Introduction to Maya" course for my winter-session class, which I'm half-way through now. Ya ya, "What the hell do you need a course for, that shit be easy, blah blah"... Well, forgive me for being retarded. ANYway, with any luck I'll muster up enough skill to start putting some 3-D artwork here. Don't cream your pants just yet, all I'm making now are furniture models and "landscapes"-- but, before you know it, I'll put up something really kick-ass. I promise.

Anyway, here is some music that you can download for me:

Zero Seven- Down-tempo/Acid-Jazz/whatever the fuck you want to call it, I like it. This recommendation came from the acclaimed David Yip, who has a penis that is so large he can blind God with it.

Love- Good rock band, but hard to find. I mean, shit, how many different song titles and bands have the word "Love" in them? All you need is Love, LOVE. Love is all you need. Noah gave me this one. He has dreds.

Badly Drawn Boy- Sort of ecclectic, but some of their songs are some of my favorites now. Just trust me.

no phrasing... no words can describe my relief. Okay, it was fun and I learned a lot, but damn did this semester hurt. I think I honesty did something permanent to my nervous system with all the coffee I ingested over the course of the many, many all-nighters I had to pull.

Now I can sit back and chillax. I highly doubt any artwork will be put up over the next 20 days or so, I don't even have access to a good scanner anyway. BUT, when I get back, there will be more-than-ever awesome art for me to put up because I'm taking 3-D modeling courses with Maya next year! yeeey!

I am currently in New York City right now, my home town. This is the first break I've had in 2 months.

When you think about it, art college is really just a really fancy trade school... it's just that our trade has a bit more respect than say, air conditioner repair. I have studio classes that last from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, for just one class. I have class assignments that last for 4 weeks of development. This place is hell.</i.> Fucking Brown university, 5 blocks away from us, Ivy-fucking-league, doesn't have to work this hard. They have their own BAR on the campus grounds for christssake. They have like, 10 fraternities, 7 sororities... We have a fucking lego club. If you had some strange misconception that art college is somehow more leniant than regular colleges, than you can give yourself a dummy-smack.

Current projects:
-A stain glass window for 3-D class. I'm working with glass, metal, LEAD, hydrochloric acid, GLASS... when I bought the glass, I kind of felt stupid for having just purchased 5 new ways to cause serious bodily harm to myself.
-Drawing 100 hands for Drawing class. I can't even think of 100 different poses for my hand, let alone 100 different ways to draw it.
-Doing-whatever-the-hell-I-want-as-long-as-it's-huge-as-fuck for 2-D class. This assignment is AWESOME. I get to do whatever I want, yeeey! My picture "Plastic Pipe Dreams" is the assignment, a dedication to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (the book that Bladerunner was based on? ring a bell?). The catch is, I have to blow it up to 6.4 ft tall x 2.5 feet wide, and print it out. Theeen, I have to cut out shapes from acetate and make transparent holographic/glass affects ontop of the print so as to incorporate a physical medium.

I'm behind schedule on my comissions for customers... I'm really "distracted." And yet, despite parties, Morrowind and watching sexy women on TV, I somehow am able to squeeze out another Deviant. Almost inhuman, no? Impossible? Fantastical? No, no... procrastination skillz, my friend. and that's with Z.

I stayed up again. I woke up at 7pm yesterday. Shit, just as I got my sleep schedule back on the ball, it topples again like a sad, disfigured clown. Most likely my crash time will be in the next 2 hours, posibly forcing me to miss my friend's going-away party. Such is the fate of Devon.

Here are songs I recommend:

GABRIEL, by LAMB- If you're a guy, you might feel a little gay listening to it, but I reeeaally like it. Then again, I wear my hair in a pony-tail...

SUPER BON BON by SOUL COUGHING- Can't diss Soul Coughing. Listen to this song on your headphones when you're walking down the street; you feel like the man of the hour.

NEEDLE IN THE HAY by ELLIOTT SMITH- You might reco'nize this song from "The Royal Tenenbaums" soundtrack. It's a really cool song, but sort of depressing. Not NIN "Hurt" depressing, but meloncholy sort of depressing. Oh, just listen to it.

Okay, so i did get into RISD. Right now I am at my friend Vinny's house in Brooklyn. It is as boring here as it at home. I feel like I want to slit my wrists, just to see a different color from my grey and dull existance. Please, kill me.

On a lighter note, we're going to see a video. It will be the highlight of my fucking day. A DVD, no doubt... with surround sound. Yey.

When I go home, I will stare into my lap and contemplate on how infinitely shallow the world is, and then sleep. Hopefully, I won't wake up the next day. Bye.


... And Vinny says Hi. He also says he's on crack today. He is currently convulsing , covered from head to toe in his own vomit and prancing around with a mexican tequila hat on his head. It hurts me to look at him so. Now Vinny says, 'fuck you.'

Woot. I got accepted to the School of Visual Arts and Parsons, now I'm just waiting on Rhode Island School of Design. I'm also getting a lot of scholarships in, so that's cool too. I doubt I'll get into RISD because of my grades, but you always have to have something higher than what you have, in order to look forward to.

I'll post art soon, I promise. It's just that I'd rather put up only quality color work rather than drawings, and color work takes a lot longer to complete.

Ciao fer Now.

I'm in school right now. I just did a fuckload of work that has prevented me from sleeping for over 40 hours. I need sleep. Badly.

I've had over 600 mg of caffeine within 5 hours, which I believe is just under overdosing. I see colored spots in my peripheral vision, and I am fading in and out of spontantaneous delirium. My body is trying to reject the excessive amounts of hazelnut coffee I've ingested, making my stomach want to lurch at random. I need help badly.

Oi vey. I'm just procrastinating now, I should be doing my Western Philosophy homework. Oh, fuck it. I'll do it in the morning.

My friend David Chen told me a joke once:

"What did the raver say after he ran out of drugs?"
"What?"
"This music fucking sucks!"

AHAHAHAHAHA....ha........ha... well, it was funny when I first heard it.

Anyway, apparently I'm not done with all that "college shizzle", and I have to do this God damn book lay-out for a client by March that will take an eternity to complete, so apparently I don't have any free time. I hate responsibility... someone fucking kill me.

P.S.- I promise never to use the word "shizzle" in any of my journal entries, posts or further context ever again. I am sorry.

I'm finishing up with college interviews and all that bullshit, so now I have more time to do what -I- want to do.

I don't know if I should bother putting my pencil drawings here yet, I haven't decided.

I've had this account since March 7th apparently, but I haven't bothered to put anything on it until today. My bad, I'll try to be more enthusiastic about it now. About Me: I'm a Highschool senior student who lives in New York City. I like to paint pictures using airbrush, burn/dodge, eraser and other tools on Adobe Photoshop 6.0. I mostly draw characters from stories I've of my own creation, or random sketches of aliens, women and various mythical creatures. I want to be an illustrator when I grow up. The end.

On another note, I just turned 17 on December 31st, and I got a new HD screen for my computer. Yippie.

I'll try to put as much work up as possible, but I'm going to limit what pictures I post- as apposed to previous gallery host sites- to more "advanced" pieces, rather than pencil sketches. I hope you enjoy my work, but I will take any criticisms you may have very seriously. Thank you.
