Ladder 49

Just realized this is my 50th post! Normally, from a hack like myself that shouldn't be a big deal, but i remember saying this was gonna be something I took seriously, then quickly dropping it like a slippery fishy. That's in the past, and there's a couple people I owe to that little push I'm getting, a couple are loyal, cool, and very stylish followers.

So, some more doodles

doodle doo

I'm actually getting more drawings done at work then at home. Lame.

Anyhoo, these were some pen sketches with a hint of PS. I wanna do more of these, keep that raw quickness...in this case that's a good thing. Har.

Angry Wirds

It's incredible, the different facets of information flowing fact or fiction unfiltered through our earholes these days.

I didn't see how quick it actually happened, I think I kninda ignored the process until it became so commonplace in our ADD society.

I'm usually a step behind with these things, anyway. I got my first computer when I was 17, so i got used to not having to be up to date on everything right away.

No one takes time to process things anymore. Every waking moment is spent on an electronic device of some sort.

Studies show, spending time to reflect on things that happened throughout the day is important for your memory.

Wanna lose some good memories cause you couldn't put down Angry Birds for ten minutes?

Fuck outta here!

False Advertising

Lately, I've been finding myself being more critical of advertisements . Everything, like billboards, commercials, flyers. Everything about them. Not in a real bitter way, but I can't help but imagine what the ad agencies were drinking during their brainstorming sessions. Having run into a couple people over the years, that notion of 'enhanced perspective' isn't entirely far off.

I'm hoping maybe to make some kind of contributions to, or at least learn more about the process since it's really begun to pique my interest these last few months.

Maybe in three or four years, I'll be the guy at the agency saying 'Oh Come ON!' at the roundtable demanding change and throwing all the crap off the table in disgust.

Or, maybe in time, these same ads will start to ferment and become classics far ahead of its time and I just didn't get it.

Then again, I'm not much of an Andy Warhol fan so what do I know?

Feels Good Man!

riding the waves of serenity lately, and I don't plan on getting off my damn board...rental fees? I'll pay em late then, on my terms, and on their interest if they're interested...

Anyways, I added this one dude on DeviantArt who was pretty entertaining. He didn't draw, he just wrote out Haiku everything, even his responses to commenters. We exchanged in haiku, it was...beautiful. I really think if people don't fight it, their quirkyness will come out and show who they really is.

And like Alan Moore said, " Toughing it out doing something you love, even with little change and hustling on the side still ends up making you better off than 99% of the people out there ready to take the ol' rifle up the ol' tower."

Well not his exact words of course, but with added spice. Get the picture?

YAH TRICK YAH!

Is the cameo hairstyle making an unrequisited comeback, amongst the backpackers?

Not that I have a problem with them or like the choice of moniker, I'm a big Kanye, Big Sean, J.Cole fan (associated with the term), I'm just wondering if its been making waves (heh) and I just haven't been noticing it.

Lemme know when its okay to let my one strap of my overalls down.

Jacob's Dream

You know when you make a conscious effort towards progression? Not only in art, but in life, trying to keep in mind the past present & future and how we tie into everything?

I think pondering the questions are just as important as getting the answers, but maybe that's the wannabe metaphysicist in me.

We're like coin-ops, and while we may get another credit when we're done, there's no guarantee you'll be able to play the game on the same generation of consoles, or remember the previous iteration.

So while we're in it, explore, learn some cheat codes, and try to imagine you're avatar turning towards the screen and saying, " I know you're out there, and thanks for the 1ups, son!"

Yup, this is what happens when you're researching existentialism with the PS3 turned on XD
