Jack and the Beanstalk - FINAL

2007-12-12T16:58:00.001-08:00

After many, many, MANY hours later...I ended up with this. Frankly, I am really happy about the results considering that I am not a painter, but more of a drawer.

2007-12-12T16:55:00.000-08:00

After nailing down the composition that I was satisfied with, I went ahead and did some clean up by adding detail.

2007-12-12T16:46:00.000-08:00

The project was to create an illustration that depicts a scene from either Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and G, or Jack and the Beanstalk. I chose Jack and the beanstalk and this is one of my earlier ideas in its RAWEST form.

BLACK FRIDAY 11-23-07

2007-11-24T11:14:00.000-08:00

What would you do for a $300 laptop retailed priced at $500? or a video game that is difficult to find, but yet have to compete against a hundred other people for that last copy? Well, I ended up lining up in front of Circuit City the night before Black Friday along with a few friends and relatives of mine. The night was cold, but fortunately we did not have to wait THAT long (2 hour wait) compared to hardcore consumers that camped out in front of Circuit City TWO nights before it opened. Anyway, once we got in, we got most of what we wanted: DVD's, video games, and other accessories. Unfortunately, I didn't get my wireless router. There were many people, but not as much as I had expected. The experience was a different one, there was trash all over the floor and if there had been at least 50 more people inside the store everyone would be trampling each other. Overall, it was a memorable experience full with eager customers, tedious waiting, cold weather, angry people, and plenty of money spent...And I am ready to do it all over again next year.

Asian Club Logo

2007-11-17T20:52:00.000-08:00

I am responsible for creating the high school Asian club logo. And this is what I came up with. I have made other sketches, but I think that this is the one that the group will choose. P.S. I purposely obscured the text so that it looks like asian text.

This is an image I made using Photoshop. Since I am in the newspaper staff now, I am required to draw polital, or sometimes random images for the team. I have recently seen the movie Superbad and I thought it was just hilarious. So one day I decided to draw the main characters Seth and Evan on my sketch book. I liked my sketches so much that I scanned it in and edited it on Photoshop. I dedicated many hours on this image, but I enjoyed doing it. This is the end result, whatcha think?

First Day In Class

2007-08-23T13:28:00.000-07:00

This is my first day in my Illustrations class. I made this BLOGGER account, but I realized that I used to have an account here, but I guess my old account just disappeared because I haven't used it in more than 4 years. Anyway, I know this class is going to be interesting, and I will be learning a lot of useful information from it.
