I'm on twitter.
I KNOW. Look what the internet has done to me.

Wow. It's been awhile. A few things:

1) Spring break is just around the corner. A few friends and I are planning on a short getaway to San Diego -- see the sights, go to the beach, draw, and eat good food.
2) Illustration West 47 exhibition at Nucleus Gallery this weekend. Definitely want to see this. Headed by SILA (Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles...not New York!). I remember submitting something for this show but not hearing anything back, haha.
3) VAMPS...VAMPS! Hyde, what has happened to you? I'm conflicted. On one hand I love how VAMPS' material is reminiscent of Stereophonics, but there's nothing particularly original or innovative about Hyde's latest endeavors. I have to say though, VAMPS provides fun beats.



Not related to Hyde...I had no idea Shiina Ringo came out with a new live DVD! It looks intense...although one of my favorite performances is The Onion Song with her brother. Super cute~

4) Tagged by persephonec.

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
B) Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

( Ack! Here we go! )

And I tag:
megu_megu, moonface, blackwave, daisypunch, kastiworks, irksnapple, archica, babilu!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the "1994 Unaired" pilot of 24.

Working on layouts and compositions for short stories. It's very time consuming, but I love it. Starting next week, I'm going to tackle a 40+ page mock up of a graphic story. All this hoopla always makes me hungry. For example, today at lunch I bought the large size cup at Yogurtland as a challenge against a friend. But I lost...with high chances of a rematch next week. I don't know if this is a good idea or a bad idea, but it's a fun idea.

I managed to get a hold of a few David Wiesner books: Sector 7 and June 29, 1999. Both very endearing and imaginative with attractive color washes. There is one book that I really want to get my hands on, and it's The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznik:


I just love love looove how it throws novel and narrative illustration and silent movie-esque elements into one pot. And it's a historical fiction story based on George Méliès...Selznik really did his research on this one. It's also going to be adapted into a movie, which should be very interesting.
(also, lol at the interviewer in the video clip.)
