updaytzzz

hey doodz.  got some sketchery and doodle-ation goin' on i figured i'd post.  these guys can be found under the sketches section on my new and improved PORTFOLIO BLOG!!! (link also in top right corner.  neat huh?)  if you've got anything to say about the portfolio blog, i 'd love to hear it - kinda thought it was cool myself that you can look at EVERYTHING without clicking on a single tab or link or whatever.  but yeah, sending out applications for jorbs and all that - it's time to move on!!!

on the music side, been making some playlists i can just cycle through at work...  got about 20 Atmosphere songs i've had on repeat for a few weeks straight now.  figured i'd share some.  you can't really top sincerity, in drawing or music (or anything else) and these songs are packed with it.  don't know many other rappers who do it quite like Slug (he just might be my favorite) even some of the more dark stuff he does can still strike a chord because of how SINCERE this dood can get.  match that with Ant's sick production abilities (coincidentally probably my favorite producer too)  and you get some REALLY good music.  these are some of the more positive one's (to me) that hit hard.
Yesterday
Little Man
My Notes
Get Fly  (LOVE the outro.......)

and this NEXT ONE is just too good.  while going to school, i ran into quite a few people not from Utah who were always quick to drop judgement on the state and generalize the entire inhabitants - so this one i kinda feel is like a nice burn on people like that..  heh.
Say Shh


also real quick - check out ANTLER BOY AND OTHER STORIES on kickstarter!!  my drawing sensei from about a year and a half ago is KILLING it over there.  like comics/cool stories/rad stuff in general????????????????  i do.  totally getting the book.

I drew JACK (as in "and the Beanstalk")

i should have drawn a picture of Jack squatting, just as a special tribute for that idiom.. but i digress.

HERE is a bunch of concept art i've been doing in a sweet class, taught by the one and only Jake Parker (who also happens to be THE man, and all around awesome drawer of stuff) where we're basically redesigning Jack and The Beanstalk. We have a huge list of characters, props, environments, story moments and stuff that we choose from, and take them all through quick passes to final.

so WATCH as the quality of these designs go from better to worse, as i am posting them grouped, but in reverse chronological order. lots of fun.

first up, Jack. prop is one of the Giant's butter-knives i thought would be cool for him to use as a huge sword.

just figuring out some props to go with Jack





The Giant






The Village (jack's house is WAY in the back on the hill as it starts to slope down)



Jack about to climb the beanstalk, leaving home for the first time
