hello again...
to this journal of artistic venting/ ranting.
Show some art?! behh... i'm at this
moment where i have nothing but epic tattoo pieces in
the worx. I've been working my ass off - continuing plenty
of my studies - in other words drawing hawt womens many
times over and doodling very random/ odd/ things. Perhaps
i go about things wrong - then again, i have been enjoying
the progress in my art.
But yeah - i have a couple people asking me to send them some new art - but i pretty much have been overtaken/consumed with everything tattoo.
I can't complain - tattooing treats me well - and i keep learning.
Was it needed to have to of gone to collage??? Let alone somewhere rediculously priced as SCAD?! well - in the light of the great people i have met - i'd pay double that, maybe more....if i could. Now paying that, well that's another story >_< who the fuck has 100,000+ just sitting around to spend on an education???
Well - i guess i'm just one of the many who have helped bring down the economy. but in my defense - school should be covered via govt funding IMO... but thats just me and a few others who think such.
Ahhhhh.... but i sure am enjoying the cool arts out there! I picked up some pretty fresh x-men comics today - i like this work by Scottie Young and the run here by Bachalo. At heart i will always love x-men - i'll just turn away and ignore the fact that marvel is almost all business these days - as much as they put a front on that they care about quality - well - it's the bis of comics. I just don't think it's handled to it's best. but i'm a critic (if you dont already know) and there's just so much SHIT - pulp bullshit being spat out - like diarrhea; it's pure nasty, watered down shit - AND it comes out faster than i can ever keep up with, let alone even give the writing part of it a chance. Come on...like every major line now has all these mini off shoots, and interlinked sagas and blah blah blah
Hey - YOU guys over in the comics field - the mainstream, even with all their big holywood break throughs, are going to continue to seperate the comic book reading community to the few if they just continue in this fashion. Quesada, and a handful of other guys i have met and chatted with...They seem like very cool people with very cool lifes and involvement - still though - Fix your shit! I want to see comics do well - but for christ sake - it has to desearve it. At this moment = it's no wonder why kids would rather blow their money on video games, manga, or clothing instead. >_<
*sips RedBull*
ummm....yup
Thats about it for now...
i got to get back to designing
some pieces for the coming week.
Take care my friends ^__^

Been a while since I was regularly reading American comics. My buddy up in New York state got me involved in some pretty decent series. I got back into superheroes when civil war hit. It was a pretty decent series, but the follow up sagas really blew! I felt like I was being used. I gave into these characters and wanted to see how they would pan out in the upcoming series, only to be fucked around with by these shitty ploys to steal my $4 for expensive toilet paper.
I did however enjoy reading some x-men teams (I enjoyed how it was set up that each x-men title was like an away team), but after being away from the American comics scene for so long all the shelves in a comic store look like a blurry vomit of color. All I could say was, "what the fuck happened?" and once again I gave up on individual issues of comics (aside from a few special ones).
Bla bla bla!! By they way, most of these successful superhero movies are pulp as well. They all seem like the same wire frame, different textures. Whatever, they're making money and selling lots of toys, that's what really matters right. (Kinda excited to see a Capt. America movie, though).
Been ranting in your tread for too long now. Wish you the best mate!

indeed - a blurry vomit ov color. And yes - i could have upgraded my toilet paper choice in light of the horrid Dracula comic i was fooled into buying.
Yeah - i must admit i'm more drawn into the mainstream by the artists such as Young and the like. But it pisses me off they have so many ploys to try to get you to pick up other series. Or even switching an artist in issue 3of4 - wtf - i don't even care about the story now, because my eyes cant stand sub-par filler artists.
anyway ~ it's all biz in the end. ^__^
