The Cake's a Lie!

The onset of obsession starts with that insatiable desire to have more of whatever it is you desire; addiction being the sufficient term. It begins with that thirst, that lust if you will, that cannot be quenched. Next you begin to seek out any (and I stress any) other outlets to get just a tiny taste of that fruit. Finally, you push past your own laziness, and pursue your hunger by fulfilling it with your own devices, one's own creativity. Thus, fan art is born.

That said, this leads me up to my post. Yes, to fill that void that those genius men and women at the Valve Corporation have created, I have turned to fan arting Portal. And this is merely the calm before the storm. For I feel the ripple effect take hold of the artist within causing me to create more until I am able to grasp that sacred chalice known as Portal 2.

So, I guess I can sum all this up as "Thank you Valve for delivering a fantastic game."

Disclaimer: I know I'm super behind and just got around to playing Portal. Although, I'm partially glad because I did miss this meme being over used. But at the same time that is part of the experience, no? So, I'll continue to perpetuate it.

My Roomie

So, this is my roommate, Michael Ryan. There are many Michael Ryans out there, but this one is one of a kind. He's been my best friend and brother for the past 6 years. And in all the years I've known him, I always fall for his secret weapon... pulling his finger. I'll let you marinate on that for a bit.


LOL He's an amazing animator and even better friend. I did this in a line of cartoons I'm doing of my friends. Here's first of many.

Hopp OUT!

A Regular Habit

This tends to be my state of mind a lot. I feel that the "Regular Show" on CN is my life in a nutshell, well cartoon to be precise. I actually just finished a storyboard test for the RS so here's hoping. I'd love to get on that show. It's so geared toward people my age. The pop references, the slang, the average epicness of every day life!

I was just musing recently how CN has changed so much. It almost feels like it's the Nickelodeon of old. Where as Nick has become what CN was back in the days of Dexter, PPG, and that ancient legend dubbed Toonami.

I SO miss Toonami. Bring it back!

Ok, I'm done.

Budding New Year

Wow has it been that long?! A year. Sheesh. Gotta get acrack'n. Been super busy getting my first storyboarding gig and trying to make ends meet. But I'm back and things are looking better. I picked up some Illustration techniques from the amazing team I worked with at Zoic. Super talented artists! So as iron sharpens iron I managed to pick up some skills thanks to them.

And on to the main event. This is a hair beret design I made as concept art for a video game I'd one day like to create. I'll follow up with more concept art soon. Enjoy!
