mocca fest

hi people,
it's that time of the year again, you might be noticing less posts. MOCCA FEST is this weekend. We will be there at table E9 (it even sounds cool!) with shallowpocket shirts, magnets, figurines, prints, postcards, original art and the newly printed book, MY ILLUSTRATED BLOG. The blog book will be available for the low low price of 1 dollar. i know 1 dollar? J have you banged your head on a door? yes, yes i have, but that in no way affected the price of the comic. Or maybe it did. either way, you win!

ps. i love you.

I just got this, I'm not very good, but it's fun and I've always wanted to learn.

Why it matters.

There are three reasons why you're reading this blog.
1. you just stumbled in by accident following links.
  2. you're a friend/ future friend/ former friend .
3. You're interested in how a "sketching" blog looks. And the work intrigues you.

The work is me so I can't talk about the work without telling my story. Drawing is how many of us meditate (sometimes yoga, ... poorly). A calm comes over me when I draw ( I draw all the time during my commutes), but at the same time it helps me focus (like green tea for the soul?). Drawing helps me through difficult times (oh boy did I have a lot of that this past year) and never lets me down. The fact is I've been able to draw (sometimes well) for most of my life. Drawing has always given me joy. There are no limits, you just need inspiration and if you try hard enough, if you put in the effort and see your mistakes, and correct them when you notice them. You can make it happen, don't you wish all of life could be this way?

Ok, Sometimes I have an idea and I'll work on it until it's out of my system, then a few years later, I'll work on it some more. I've done this drawing off and on for about 7 years. This image is a mix of zbrush, photos of textures, photoshop, and maya. The theme is Natural Technology.  I kinda like how it turned out but I'll want to fix it when I see it again taormowe.

bonus!
