Sketches for the sake of sketches

It feels good abandoning a need to do pretty and just do what feels good… What a stupid sentence.
I like the new iPhone os 3.0. Camera is much better now.

Wires

Even with no scanner readily available, the blog has gotta be updated.
My dad bought a cool tv and hid all the wires away to preserve the aesthetics. It looks great but I couldn’t help feel that at some point I will start to miss the look of wires everywhere. Like craftsmen enjoy being flooded in their tools to get a feeling of really being in there, I guess there’s something personal about being in your ow. Personally designed zone with wires and cables everywhere, all connected to an active purpose.

I’m still drawing my comic, very slowly, one page at a time and I’m writing a review of Contact, a fun and deep Nintendo DS adventure. But I have to complete the game first.

Soul Bubbles and LBA fanart

A little piece.

Sketchianism

Iphone photos (edited on the phone aswell) of sketches.
Laziest time ever. I read books and comics and draw. Somehow this is an optimal life, but this city is so dull. Can’t wait to start university.
Still drawing comics. Very inspired by Haruki Murakami right now and visually by Fred Gallagher and Yukon Makoto. You gain such a huge respect when you try to do it yourself. But still I try to remember what I’ve always been critical of.

Art – Underappreciated Body Parts

Been trying different stuff. I usually don’t make a lot of finished pieces, and even when I do, they still look like sketches. But I hope that works to my advantage. At least I like my style so far a lot, I just wish I was better at drawing. But I made three pieces for a theme, “underappreciated body parts”, toes, ears and knees.

 

 

 

 

I have other things planned too. More art, more comics and I hope I at least finish SOME of it.

When I made my portfolio, I shouldn’t h…

When I made my portfolio, I shouldn’t have been so nervous to go my own way, or the way I thought sounded like the reasonable way. I should have let the life-drawings talk for themselves and used the acting section to show creativity and life. Given hell to the quality and just focused on speed, humour, drama and ideas.

Wise fruit, slippers & knees

I was too insecure to make my portfolio how I at times new it should have been. If I tried again, it would be admitted. I should filled the pages to the brim with characters acting. Far-out and fucked up situations. Flipped the bird at pretty pictures.

Mocca Comic

I think I quit twice on this one here. But even though I lost interest and wanted to move on, I kinda like that I just finished it and and post it.

Baaaah…

I’m starting to hate what videogames are, have been and are continuing to be. The terrible writing, the constant need to cater to wide targets or conservatives. And the constant push for better technology. Playing Mother 3 and Soul Bubbles made me feel better. I guess if games like that realised every one in a while it’s fine but it leaves me with little hope for the future.

April Blogging

So life has to move on. “Is it the right choice not to try out for animation school again?” I keep asking myself..
No? Being as I was so sure, and all the people who used to be unsure even became sure aswell, perhaps I was rejected from a different school than the one I thought I applied to. I changed and grew a lot to apply this time. Is it possible that if I change, perhaps enough to get admitted into school, drawing will have become something which no longer pleases me visually and artistically? Or am I simply trying to reason out of defeat?
What I’ve come up with so far, are a two things: I think illustrations please me more than animation. And neither Miyazaki nor Takahata studied art or animation. I think Miyazaki studied sociology or something like that, and Takahata studied French litterature. And even Murakami studied ancient Greek theater. So why shouldn’t I be able to study Japanese and still be a writer or an auteur or something third?
