Bah Missed A Post Yesterday

Mmmmm........ gotta say I've been pretty busy lately + distracted by stupid stuff.  So I ran out of time to update my blog yesterday, damn it.  First unintentional skip since I started blogging again.  Been trying to set up this site for my mom about Agel.  It's sorta like health supplements but in gel form (taste like grape jam).  That and I was updating my portfolio also starting a new freelance job.

Though I have to admit, the majority of my time went to stupid stuff like playing Plants vs Zombies.


It's kind of like a tower defense type of game, except zombie only travel in straight line and you have to guard 5 lines to prevent zombies get into your house and eat your brain.

My other distraction was Kekkaishi manga.  I've been reading it for a while but since it wasn't popular the release was slow.  I recently found an updated site so I start reading like crazy again, read till 5 AM yesterday (sorta why I didn't have time to blog).  Watch, this series is probably gonna get popular later.  See I always do cool stuff before it's popular like reading Bleach and Naruto and listening to emo music.  I'm just too cool so people want to follow lol.

Here's Kekkaishi, and apparently it's made into anime now too.


So funny thing is, I guess even though I took a break on World of Warcraft.  I still find other stupid stuff to do so I'm only slightly more productive than the time when I was playing WOW.  Sigh... maybe I need a break from internet or something.

Here's Agel.  Think of it as really expensive Coolaid packaged health supplements.  I'll put up more information about it later.


Alright, tomorrow I'll have work on the freelance stuff and keep updating the blog about Agel, so gotta sleep now.

Goodnight !

Portfolio Update

So I finally updated my portfolio pages.  Honestly it's such a minor update I don't know why it took me so long to start, though after I started I literally did it in 1 day.  Now I can start applying for jobs again, and I'll just get my updated demo reel in later this week.

Oh and as I stated, I was kind feeling crappy last week.  But I don't know what happened, somehow I feel pretty good now lol.  I mean I'm still as lost but I guess I'll just figure things out as I go.  But I find music and movies had always helped me getting over emoness.

This reminds me, I find after i stop playing world of warcraft.  I've become slightly more productive, thought still not as productive as I wanted to largely because I just use the time to watch movie instead haha.

So this weekend I saw 40 Year Old Virgin



And The House Bunny.



Both movies are pretty hilarious.  Though I have to admit, I downloaded these two movies because I became a Kat Dennings fan after seeing Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist.  That and I guess I sort of always wanted to watch these two movies anyway.

40 Year Old Virgin was pretty hilarious and sad at the same time.  Because personally I do think I am quite horrible at dealing with women (though probably not as bad as that guy in the movie).  So I really really hope I won't end up like that.

The House Bunny is alright, sometimes it's funny sometimes it's funny in a sad way.  Honestly I feel sorry for the actress in this movie because they have to act really really dumb for certain parts of the movie.  Though after watching The House Bunny, now I became a fan of Emma Stone (LOL I get distracted too easily).  Seen her from Superbad, then recently Zombieland, and now The House Bunny.

Now I still have Harry Potter The Half Blood Prince and 500 Days Of Summer (suggested by Mujia) to watch.  This reminds me that time where I saw 6 movies in 2 days, that was fun.  Should probably do that again when I get a chance.

In anycase, I should probably sleep now.  Still got a lot of work to do this week.  Didn't get to sketch today, maybe I'll try to see if I get time tomorrow.  As for now...

Goodnight !

Twilight Spoof + Mujia's Bday Celebration


Mmmmm gonna be a rushy post tonight.  Cuz I got home so late and didn't have time to think about cool material so I'll just post this.  A funny picture I saw on my friend's Facebook.  Blade vs Twilight, time to finish the teenie money making franchise.  Hahah thought it was pretty funny.

As I mentioned earlier, today is the day we celebrate Mujia's birthday.  So I had to go to tennant's house to carry the log we chop down from backyard to frontyard in the afternoon.  Probably walked between front and back yard like 30-40 times back and forth.  Then went to Eaton Centre to get present for Mujia only to find out it's sold out (fail).  Then we went to AGO (abusing the free admission), then went to Made In China for food, then Just Desserts for cake.  Pretty fun night though I'm like so tired after I got home.  And my legs are dead from walking so much today.

But yeah sorry my brain's kinda dead / fried tonight so I guess I'll write more tomorrow.  Should just sleep now.

Goodnight.

MG Goku Gundam



Apparently Bandai has decide that Master Grade Gundams are not cool enough anymore.  So they made a Master Grade Goku !!!  Haha that's kind of funny because it's built the exact same way.  From the picture in the background you can vaguely see the "tree" that you use to cut off pieces and snap them together to make models.  Wonder how this will turn out haha.

Another random note, so apparently one of my younger cousin (grade 9) has been skipping school for about 2 weeks now.  And when we asked him why he keep on saying "I don't know".  So as of now we still don't know why, I wonder if something happened at school.  Probably have to talk to people from school to find out.

So my aunt was asking me to see if I can talk to him.  I mean I did try but all I get is still "I don't know".  Though this reminds me, I wonder why people ask me for advice or assistance sometimes.  Back then my friend would talk to me when he broke up with his girlfriend.  But I always thought, what do I know about relationship (been single forever).  That and I'm usually in a worse shithole than the person asking for advice.  Just find that ironic.

Sorry about the posting this week, at this rate I don't think I'll get to draw anything until next week.  But hey I'd still post other random stuff, just won't be about my drawing.  So tomorrow is going to be a long day.  Gonna have to go buy present for Mujia (oh shit I think she reads this too lol sorry I am the last minute kind of guy), then have to carry the tree branches out for this house my mom's renting out now before the yard waste collection on Thursday, then we're going to AGO (cuz it's free on Wed), then we're going to have dinner to celebrate my friend Mujia's birthday, then possibly desserts after.

In anycase, which means I should sleep soon I'll need the energy tomorrow.  That and I've been trying to chnage my sleeping pattern lately.

Goodnight.

P.S:  I hate sales people with passion.  Next time they ask me if I'm interested at something remind me to tell them FUCK NO.

So I Saw Zombieland Today



Well originally I was suppose to see it with my friends.  But it's getting closer and closer to sound like one of those things we talk about but will not actually happen.  So I end up seeing it with my cousins instead.  Yeah movie on a Monday night is kinda random but I guess I just didn't want to stay home.

So... the movie was alright.  I think I got ruined by the review again, was hyped up so much that I was expecting more.  It's really just an alright movie but nowhere close to being the funniest movie of the year.  But at least it's another movie I can relate to (why do I always relate myself to some dumbass main character types).  Though I do agree that I wish one day I can find the girl that I can take home with (the main guy said that).  I wonder when that day will be.  Maybe when 90% of the population are dead then I'll find someone.

Oh one of my friend mentioned before that she thinks I'm too perssimistic.  But it's really not that I'm too perssimistic, it's just that I'm always too optimistic so I just get screwed over.  So now I try to be more cautious (aka prepare for the worst), that's all.

In anycase gonna try to sleep early again.  Slept from 1 am to 1 pm yesterday.  That was fun, gonna do that again.

Goodnight.

So I Still Haven't Found The Meaning Of Life



So a lot actually happened this weekend.  There's actually a lot I can draw about but I don't know, some subject conflicts with the new ethic I'm trying to pull so I can't draw them anymore.  Maybe I'll draw them out later if I change my mind.

As of now I just want to sleep early for once.

Goodnight.

Andre's Off To Find The Meaning Of Life Again

What the title says.  Hence he will cheat today and post old drawing.



Something he did last summer.  Some of you have seen it already.  Here's version 2 of the same drawing which he likes better but most people would just think it's because the girl look fatter in version 2 and Andre is a chub chase anyway.



Anyway, as a general rule Andre is too busy to draw on weekend.  So hopefully Andre will find the meaning of life over the weekend and start drawing again before Monday.

Goodnight.

No Shonen Jump This Week.... Errrrr I Mean Drawing

I don't know kind of feeling tired today and was in the process of working on portfolio so I didn't draw anything today.

But I feel like I have to post something each day.  So here it is... in love and memory of Jon Suh.



Goodbye, and goodnight.

Ugh I Suck At Designing Template Cont

So...... after struggling for so long and copy this guy's style I still manage to only pull off a half assed template.  Oh well... at least now I have something to update to... sorta.  Here it is.



Yes I actually have to draw poop for work, how awesome is that.  Though I'm not using that for my actual portfolio, this is just for demonstration.  Though drawing this for work was kinda fun and nasty at the same time.  Oh well ~

Oh, so yeah another reason why it took so long is cuz I had to pull out Illustrator when I work on this.  Just simply can't draw a fine line freehand with Photoshop.  That and I haven't use Illustrator in ages so it's a lot of playing around.  Still not good with it yet but at least I made something.

So today I went out in the afternoon.  After I come home from subway which is around 5:00 PM.  I notice there are police out there blocking the streets outside Glencairn Station.  So I asked them it turns out someone got hit by another guy driving a stolen car.  Man that sounds horrible.  But I'm sorta suprised.  Though this area is occupied by rich jewish people.  Didn't expect this kind of stuff to happen in this neighbourhood.

Shitty part is, since they blocked it off, I have to walk allllllll the way around to get home.



LOL ok even though it's all the way around I guess it's still not that far.  I sorta live really close to begin with anyway.

Here's another pic with the police, didn't want to stand too close taking picture in case they're like "yo wtf you doing".  So here it is.



So while I'm out taking pictures, figure I'll take a pic of my neighbour's house being build.  I swear Canadians build houses too fast, it's like building lego blocks.  I don't even build gundam models that fast.  This is the before pic, which happened this summer.



This is after they semi tore down the old house.  It's about mid summer when they did this.  So probably only been like 3-4 months and now they have this.



Oh so for those who want to be my neighbour just buy this house after it's done LOL.  But yeah anyway, 4:00 AM again soooo I'm gonna sleep.

Goodnight !

Ugh I Suck At Designing Template

So... I've been slacking off for about 2 months now since I'm off job.  Figure it's time to really pick it up and start looking for job hardcore now.

Originally I was sorta just lazy and also use the excuse that since I can't post stuff I worked on until the show airs on TV (cuz it's company property).  So I haven't really update my portfolio at all.  But it actually aired this Thursday 8:30 ET on channel APTN.  Meaning I can't use that excuse anymore and should really post the stuff up.  Though I want a white background so my old template will no longer work meaning it's time to make a new one.

First I'm debating if i want to re-use my old logo type of thing, I mean it's sorta cute but at the sametime it kinda convey a bad image lol.  It's like a perverted pig reading XXX magazine while being dead?  or angel, I don't know what I was thinking when I designed that.  I mean ok I will openly admit I'm a pervert but I'm not sure if I want the company hiring me to know that too.  Though I guess they hire me for my art skill anyway.... soooo....... I don't know..... pending decision.......



Ok this should really be black but I don't know why it's showing up as dark brown/green but it's 3:35 AM now so I'm really really not gonna fix it.

This brings me to another point that is I really really really do suck at designing templates.  I was playing aroudn with it all nigth and couldn't come up with anything.  So far I'm thinking something along the line like this type of stuff.



And maybe just design the edges like that and leave the middle blank for me to show my art work.  But I'm still working on it as you can see it's 3:35 AM.  Originally I want to finish it before I sleep but I'm giving up now I think I'm just gonna finish it tomorrow.

So sorry for those that actually read my posts.  No funny drawing for you today cuz my brain is fried and it's too late at night.  Tonight felt like the night before a major assignment is due.  Where I think I should work but is just too tired to do so nor motivated to do it.

Oh on a random note so today I just found out there's actually people reading my posts now.  Damn now I can't slack off anymore LOL.  But yeah initially I stay away from naming specific people just because I don't know who reads my blog yet.  So I always mention "my friend" or "this person", but now I don't really care anymore so I'll use their actual name from now on.  As it already happened in the last post.

Anyway, hopefully I'll get the template done tomorrow.  Also hopefully I'll actually get to draw something stupid too.

As of now, goodnight !

Halloween Weekend

Hey so this is the Halloween weekend, been a long and tiring weekend with a lot of activity (even though most are not really Halloween related anyway lol).

In anycase, so I end up not dressing up even though I said I might dress up on my last post.  I guess because something came up so the Halloween party at Bonnie's was in jeopardy, but it end up happening anyway though at that point I was too rushed to think about costume so I just went as is.  In the end we all just went to Bonnie's and eat hot pot and watch stupid video and look at silly pictures (by silly I mean gross).

On a side note, Felipe just came back from his Hong Kong trip and got me a interesting sourvenir.  It's something I found online randomly and showed him, then he somehow magically actually found it in Hong Kong and got it for me, that was pretty cool.

So here it is, the pig lighter.


Here's the back side of the pig.  If you ever run out of fuel, just shove the fuel can up its ass and it's gonna be all good again.



And here it is, in all its glory.



Flaming nostrils !!!!!

In any case, back to the party.  So as I stated earlier, after the hot pot we start watching random videos.  One of the video we came by was Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  We started watching the episode with the Gentlemen demons that silence everyone and take their heart.  Though I never knew how popular these guys are.  There's even lego toys made about them.



Though through out the night we keep cracking jokes about them.  Since they float, so it look like they're just travelling on segway and gliding along.  For those who don't know a segway is a transportaiton device that balance itself and if you lean forward it will move forward.



Though I found a random stupid funny picture online which I think is awesome and a lot cheaper than the actual segway (though it might not do its job).



After that I start noticing those guys have the most retarded facial expression.



The guy at the back have their mouse open so wide that it look unnatural.  It's like as if they stuck watermellon in their mouse.  So in the end I come up with this conclusion:



Kind of a rushed drawing because I'm really tired after the crazy weekend.  But hey at least today's post is long isn't it haha (although still only 1 drawing).  Anyway, I'll improve the drawing quality tomorrow.  As of now sleep sounds like a really good idea.

Hopefully I'll actually get to dress up for next year's Halloween.  Until then...

Goodnight !
