You know how you can recall being really little? And it's not really a full memory, just sort of a recollection of people towering over you and couches being fortresses you could scale, perhaps even being afraid of falling from a seat? ...I've been drawing before that. And ever since, it's just sort of stuck.

Then came instruments, trombone in elementary, keyboard in jr. high, guitar declaring itself king of the hill in high school, harmonica on my own time, bass and drums whenever I can get my hands on them...I guess singing was around since I could recognize a song as a toddler.
:headbang:
MUSIC makes the world go round, it's a part of all of us, no matter what specific sounds we choose to listen to. :horns:

:spotlight-left: :spotlight-right:
ACTING...you see your older brother in a high school show when you're a few years old, and then subconsciously you're catapulted into a world you never knew would keep you THIS busy what with performing, directing, training and designing all over the place nowadays just so you can do what you love and find a way to feed yourself.

For the record, I still have a hard time looking at myself on screen :film:...plus I sound silly.

:painter:
Painting has always sort of been around since they said, "you can draw...help us out with this!"
"...but...I...don't paint..."
"Come on!" :sprint:
Before you know it, you're the one doing all the scenic art stuff for your shows. Nowadays I love getting work where scenic design and painting are involved.

:camera:
Photography, my philosophy is shoot first ask questions later :firelite-photo:...I just need to get a new camera (miss you Olympus)

Costuming, it started as a tech class and turned into a line of work. And yet even before that I remember looking at costumes on screen and thinking "I want THAT costume! (and not the 'cheap' version you can buy localy in town)". Thus, the costumer in me was born.

What can I say? No matter how many ventures I take on, I truly feel i'm an artist at heart, I dig it, it's pure magic! What's better than sharing a little bit of magic?

Keep on keepin' on fellow Deviants!

Oh...and I like Milk...:milk:...and Batman...:batman:...wow, they actualy have these? Huh...go figure!

WOW!!! When was the last time I made a journal?

Sometimes I wonder if I do this for you [the Watchers] or me as a sense of keeping a landmark of where I am in my career.

So what have I been up to? ART CLASSES!!!. I've been longing to take some classes that would really give me the chance to learn leaps and bounds of info that would give me tools to help me improve my art. In the end the more you draw and the more you practice the better you'll get and that's all on you. But why not take a lesson from a master or two to make sure you're doing things right? :)

Over Winter 'Break' I did a few shows:
Directing - "Caught In the Middle", "Sala de Amour y Guerra" (both debuts) "Off Off Broadway" (table read) & "Drac In The Saddle Again" ...again :)
Acting - Black Comedy (finally got to play Brindsley)

Most of you are aware I'm heavily involved in Theater. I have been since 7th grade. But I've been drawing all my life. I remember getting a C in art because I didn't like doing certain assignments. I tried taking an art class (3D Modeling) in college a while ago back when someone else was in charge, it didn't thrill me. But ever since Bob (our Dean) hired Phil things have been soaring in our Computer Graphics lab! Classes have been popping up left and right that I thought I'd never be able to take. Here's what I've been up to.

    LAST SEMESTER
    1. Fundamentals of Cartooning - Kirk Sivertson
    A great class with one of the coolest instructors. Excellent assignments, cool lectures and he quotes Jack Nicholson, a-lot, particularly his Joker.
    2. Illustration - Jim Dowdalls
    We met Fridays for about 7 hours, 9-4ish. Great intense class that really taught me tons of rendering techniques essential in taking the time to create a full illustration for art. Also with one of the coolest instructors you could ever have, and he plays cool music for studio time.
    3. Sketching for Animators and Illustrators - Marshall Vandruff
    Just when they couldn't get any cooler, Marshall enters the room. Where has this man been all my life!?!?! He's a mind that you could pick for hours with a wealth of knowlege. Sketching met from 12-7pm on Saturdays (and I didn't regret it at all, I'd do it again) and we drew, and drew, and boy did we draw. All about sketching, loosening the arm, quickening your strokes. And, Marshall taught us tons about story and development as well as delved into some of the 'learning from the masters' teachings. Marshall is a big deal and I sort of just fell into the class of my own accord. One of my happiest scholastic decisions ever. I will have class with him again! Or just lunch to talk about why Clockwork Orange is a mistake.

    THIS SEMESTER
    1. Electronic Paint - Phil Dimitriadis
    I'M LEARNING HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP!!!!!! I am so excited to finally learn how to use this new-fangled technology ya'll bin talkin' bout so much :cowboy: . Also, we're using cintiqs!!! I actually used a cintiq last semester at a buddy's place - my first time on any tablet of any kind (which I know is a bit of a hindrance when you have to step backward; I used a regular tablet the other day and it was a little tough).
    2. Sketching for Animation and Illustrartion - Phil Dimitriadis
    Same class but not really. We meet for 7 hours as well, Phil has us sketch but structures his class differently (stands on a table with props and does poses for us to study and sketch) and the knowledge and experience he has from the industry is priceless.



So, I've been thinking about posting things I've been working on recently. I realize there's a whole backlist of stuff I never got around to submitting but maybe that's ok. Perhaps I'm straining the artistic mind when I load it up with "Oh I have to do this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this....". That's not good for anyone. If any of you do that, stop it! It's bad for you.

Hope you're all well. Special shout out to my sister ~LadyduLac Miss ya!
