Me and these guys threw a halloween party this year! It was my favorite party we've thrown yet.

( Tons of photos here. )

So yesterday me and a few others took a few hours in the afternoon to just ride around and take some photos. We ended up snagging a private tour of a local book printing company and checking out the state capitol (something I haven't done, even though I've lived here for over five years.) I came across some neat stuff / found type. I'm also moving away from flickr and using my own website to try and host/organize files, since I'm paying for it anyway.

I was talking with wankingwombats this morning about photography and, as much as I like it, how it's not really my bag. I feel like good photography is just really, really intimidating...when I look at professional photography in a gallery setting, I feel like my stuff could never hold up against it...mainly because I know so little about it. She stressed that I'd feel more comfortable if I just gave it some time, but I'd like to keep focussing on my drawing. Even though I'm nowhere near where I want to be with that, I still feel like my drawing work is fun and interesting at least. That doesn't mean I can't keep photography as a hobby, though.

Here's some photos from yesterday.


I think this would make a decent album cover.

Also, I made this for Shannon a few weeks ago when one of her teeth was not treating her well.

Shannon went out of town and I took care of her cat, Clover. Well, she took care of me and my LJ comments.


This is my mom on the dock at her place.


Vaughan and Ryan at Mellow Mushroom. I met up with them after the bike ride with Steve and Eric Garcia. Mike and Mallory were there too.


This is Clover doing her best impression of a burrito.


I visited Jon in Orlando.


Before we hit Jax for her Derby bout, Shannon and I went to Steinhatchee. One of the derby girls hooked us up with a free marina cabin for the night. She also paid for our dinner and 4-5 games of pool.


This is the view from the front porch of the cabin.


This is the view from inside the cabin.


I sketched a little before the derby bout. These are character concepts for a show flyer.


They had a standup Donky Kong machine. I still can't get past board two.

It has been an excellent year.

Mobile uploads from last night. I'm annoying.



Hey, I'm a real artist now. I hung this in the BFA gallery with no approval. I am a real asshole since no one is going to take it down and paint over the ink that I got on the wall. I mean, someone is going to do it but they're not going to be happy about it. I'm just like Banksy. I'm just like Banksy. I also signed it for some reason. That's dumb.



Why did I wear that shirt. Anyways. I ordered some LONG ISLANDS last night since Nick introduced me to them and I know their, uh, efficiency...and I can say that in Nick's short time as a bartender he made a better one than all three of the ones I drank last night. Either the kid's got a gift or he was just being a friend.



This photo has tags on Facebook, but fuck it, let's do an old-school LJ-style role call for this one. Left corner going upwards, motherfucker, we have Whitney, Steve, Holly, Kevin, Chris, Brigette, and Ryan. It was Ryan's birthday yesterday. Holly made him brownies. Aw, man, we should've called Eric Garcia. Looking at this photo reminds me that there is brownie all over our kitchen floor. I have blood under my fingernails.

I took a bunch of photos at Kevin and Holly's this weekend! I'm too lazy to post them all at once, but I'll post the one's I decided to black and white tonight and the color ones tomorrow. Please note: I'm aware there is little consistency of the black-and-whiteness of these photos. It's been a while since I just played around in photoshop, so I took the opportunity to do so.

Kristen Garcia, Nick Williams, Michael Harrington, and Marc Davis enjoy the "drink of the party," the Marc Davis.

This weekend, Kevin and Holly had a house party. Some photo's were taken. Some of my favorites are under the cut, but you can click HERE to check 'em all out!

Daniel Deinhart smashes a watermelon.

It's been about 3 weeks since this happened, but I finally got around to uploading the photos I took before kingbob45's psuedo-Japanese themed going away party. There's a lot of good watermelon smashing shots, I suggest you take a look!

photo from yesterday. more to come later...maybe.

it was really hot.

Ok, so here's the first still of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark from the new Iron Man movie.



If you're not familiar with the character, you may be wondering why Stark is wearing a shirt with a rhinestone flower on it. The answer? I don't know. I don't fucking know. I can assume that it might not be a flower, but a device attached to keep his heart pumping (somthing the chest piece of his suit used to do in the comics), but why it goes through his shirt? That's a mystery to me, dudes and dudettes.


Still! I'm way pumped about this movie. :D

I'm getting ready to go camping. A small goal of mine is to sleep outside of a tent for one night, under the stars. I hope everyone has as good a weekend as I surely will!

If you have toys at your desk, I suggest you position them in ways to solicit "laughter" or "giggles." Then, take a photo.

MegaCon was a blast. More photos and stories later, I'm sure.
