what... a... night...

First off I wake up at 8:30 in the AM and I get to work at 10 in the AM...

After working for 10 hours on one 30 minute break (my choice) I figure I'll leave a little early and try to make it to the comic shop before they close... so I leave...

Get out to my car, and it's not there...

Towed... I'm already on the phone with Gretchen so I tell her and she volunteers to come pick me up.... so she does, but not before stopping off at my house and getting some of my car papers and info. She picks me up and we're at the lot and in a LONG line by 9:20pm or so. Another hour goes by before I even get into the fish house like thing they have constructed outside the entrance of the building....

lots of time goes by and I don't even get to the desk before 12:30am.

I didn't get out of the lot until 1:15am.

And now that I'm home, I have just enough time... TO DO NOTHING!

cept watch heroes and go to bed...

found this

I was going through some old files, trying to clean up my computer a bit.... and look what i found...

I may have more to come... we'll see.

dust off those 3d glasses

Still playing with my Star Wars toys.

whipped this up in about 3 minutes.... fun stuff... wouldn't mind perfecting it on a landscape though.

Just a reminder...

Just incase you forgot... Batman is the shit and Green Lantern is lame, in my opinion

:)

Quick art

Yesterday my friend Dan instant messaged me and said "give me something to draw, QUICK". Right off the bat I said superhero, then changed my mind to Robin... just Robin... sidekick...

Then I figured I'd do the same, so I asked him what to draw and he chose my least favorite super hero... Green Lantern.

and here's what came of both:

I did green lantern with yellow paint on him because, well, his weakness is the color yellow, and that's pretty lame...

Had I known dan was goign to go all out on his, I would have spent more time on mine probably.... but here's what the first round of Dan's looks like...

I post this only because he hasn't updated his blog in a while and his art needs to be shared with people.

Look what I got!

I met a new friend threw Craigslist.com and he sold me some very awesome star wars figures at an amazing price.

left to right: Hoth Han, Obiwan, Ton Ton (ton ton rider is next to him), Luke, R2-D2, C-3PO, Emperor, BOBA FETT!!, Darth Vader, Luke, Han, Leia, Sand Person...

Also a Boba Fett Pez dispenser, a slave one and a speeder (both in crap condition so he gave them to me for free) and a Boba Fett Mighty Mug (Been looking for one of those for a while now).

The guy's name is Andrew, I met his really nice family and he showed me his star wars SHRINE. Super Cool. We talked star wars for over an hour I think, then we looked at some of his star wars books. We talked art and photography for a bit and then I begun my journey home.

If anyone is in need of anything star wars, this would be the guy to go to.

Thanks Andrew!

Nightly Brigade

Night One: Dan's House.

Dan invited a few friends over for a night of video games and poker while Chevis was out of town. These friends included Pierre (Awesome French guy), guess what he teaches, Shawn (idk how he spells it), teacher of Chemistry, Tim, I think he teaches something too but I forget at the moment, and myself... a bunch of teachers and a nerd, makes for an amusing night.

We started off playing the Wii, mostly Guitar Hero with two guitars, drums and Microphone. Then we moved to Texas Hold 'em. Dan ended up winning but the game went on until 3am or so. Which is right around when everyone else left and Dan and I went to bed, FUTON FTW! I was notified by Dan the next morning that Daniel had woken him up at 5am. And the little guy wasn't feeling well. :( How he didn't wake up during all the games we played is beyond me.

After Breakfast we hung out for a bit before I had to rush off to get ready for work... That's right, I said it... WORK...

Someone's got a job! Which Brings me to Night two...

-------------

Night Two: Animation with a Vengeance.

The second night of my newly acquired job in animation using Adobe After Effects. I worked one 3 hour night before from 7 to 10 and we went out for drinks after, by we I mean my boss, Michael, and Lloyd (a coworker from my last animation job).

ANYWAY, today/night was my first stretch of work that really didn't have an end in sight for some while. We are working on some videos for a church. Videos they can show to their young followers before they get confirmed. The videos are pretty straight forward. 2D animation with pre drawn figures.

Today I got in at 3pm, and tonight I got out at 1:10am. An hour in there for Dinner and BAM, you're workin' a full shift on a sunday night. Too bad I missed the Pro Bowl. :(

For the next week my hours look like this:

We'll see what happens for the week after that, It all depends on whether we pull in a few more hands to get the job done... get it? HA HA... it! (Harvey Birdman FTW!)

The Company I'm working at, by the way, is owned by Michael. It's called Dizilu. If I play my cards right I'll be the first full time employee...

Here's a few pics of this small but growing office:

In this picture my back is to the corner, there's a small space heater next to my right leg. A window on the right, doorway on the left, three computers and some chairs. Home away from home.... although I must say, the only real downside to this whole thing is that I work on a PC... >:( but "boo hoo" poor me... I'll get over it.

This picture is from the other side of this space. again I'm in the corner but to my left is the point of entrance. Next to that, also on the left, is a small refrigerator and sink. All this place is missing is a couch for nap time!

well, it's 2am and I'm beat...

OOP! Almost forgot! Picking up the Gretch Monster from the airport tomorrow night. She's coming in from Arizona.

"To the Bat-mo-bed Robin!"
