Sleep? Na, bro. That ain't me

This will not be a very coherent post, so be forewarned. I can't sleep, and it's 4 in the morning. While I would usually have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head, I'm left instead watching strange animations and rap videos on youtube. Here's a fake law and order episode that I wrote, filmed, produced, directed, financed, and edited for the Shrunkenheadman club's DDAY 2013. Hopefully it will be finished uploading by the time you sleeping people are awake.

I did my first serious digital painting some amount of time  ago. It's my friend Geoff Nakanishi. 

Go to his blog. Bask in his glory.  http://grnakanishiart.blogspot.com/

He was playing Team Fortress 2

I obviously still need practice. I pushed the green too much near the eye, and I'm still crap at blending.I'm stoked about that nose and the fact that it looks more or less like him though.

Ugh. My brain is dumb right now. I feel like I'm in finals again. Only there's infinitely less coffee in my system. I'm off of school for the summer, so I will have a lot more time to play. 

I also may be getting an internship this summer. So that's cool too. 

I just want to lie down in puppies and sleep right now.

Let's make this happen.

Painting and Stuff

I went plein air painting yesterday with my partner in crime, Sam Fish. 

We found a nice empty field filled with dry grass, cool trees, and piles of garbage. 

Our paintings that we did perfectly showcase one of my favorite things about art.

 This is my painting.

This is Sam's.

We were in the same place at the same time on the same day using the same medium, but we came out of it with two completely different paintings. I saw a whole scene whose feeling I wanted to capture, whereas Sam saw something in that tree that he liked, and tried to show the character of it. 

I love how much variety there is in art. Each artist sees, hears, and feels something that they want to remember and communicate to others. I guess you could say that we're all on the same road going to different places *strokes beard philosophically*.
