reflecting upon scribbles

Y-No PNG

Ugh, the scanner is sooo…eh selective? It appears to crash when I select the format to png, I’ll have to stick to the default until I decide to save up for a new one. The re-installation of driver is not worth it.

So I spent one night scanning and the other just touching up these things. I also had a few old pieces to include.

Learning the Ropes

It’s been over a month, am I really that preoccupied?

…seems like it.

Went to my first convention as an event staff at the Art Auction, I was amazed on the degree of cosplaying that was going on. Everywhere I turned there was someone rocking a neat costume of their favorite character. Honestly, I did way more observing than I did interacting, I always seem to do that when I first start something. Testing the waters I suppose. Luckily I did strike up a few notable conversations, mainly about the art business and what not. But that was like three lengthy ones? Haha, I still need to work on random people talking skills if I’m going to get anywhere with getting my work out there. Although, I’m so glad I’m more familiar with the downtown area of Phoenix now( and a decent sushi place to boot!). The funny thing is I was really worried that I would find myself hopelessly lost throughout the day, but that wasn’t the case.

I’ve been doing some sketches, but the printer is being a pickle. I also have dozens of commissions, but the buyer requested me not to post it out there since she’ll be using it for he e-book. They’ve been having me draw fairly interesting creatures; I’m curious on what the e-book will hold at this point.

Yeah… not enough photos, I was too busy gawking at everything!

Doing some Research

I’ve been questioning a lot of things these days. Man, you can only imagine how much hours I’ve been using up only looking for answers to those random questions that appear. There is just so many things school doesn’t tell you, and I find this information a lot more interesting and useful too.

Then again I’m not a big fan of the public school system; it’s basically a creativity depressant for me. Must be the distaste of being told to do something I can’t see myself using anytime soon, heh, sounds like a bad video game tutorial. Don’t you just love those?

Found some time to scan some of my recent sketches.
