Fast Forward

Hi all, well I just never really got around to scanning anything but, here I am now!

The new Spring 2012 semester has started and everything has been pretty good so far. I just hope I don't burn out. 

In my Intro to Illustration class, we need to keep a sketchbook comprised of mostly observation. Here are some of my favorite pages.

...I need more color...

A Spontaneous New Sketchbook

Towards the end of Finals Week, I made somewhat of an impromptu decision to buy a new sketchbook. It was big enough to draw on, yet small enough to carry on fairly comfortably. 

What was interesting about this sketchbook was able to whip out some good sketches, way better than before. Or maybe I just got all of my bad drawings out for the moment. Haha :)

Gotta keep sketching!!!

Rayman

So I was browsing the net, and once again I came across Rayman Origins. I realized that I really, really like the art style of the game, not to mention the game itself. Just watching gameplay videos show how smooth and great the game runs, plus it's artwork is quite gorgeous. 

Some of the artwork!!

I am a little tempted to get this game, but considering I have some others to work on I guess I'll have to wait.

More artwork can be found here!!

Also, I would like to share this interview from the director of Pixar's newest short film, "La Luna."

Super excited!!! :)

Previously on......Part II

1/11/2012 EDIT: It took a little longer but it finally came!!!

Thanks sis!!

On the 26th, a few of us spent a day in San Francisco. It was quite fun and it was the first time I took the BART and rode in a taxi. 

We should do it again sometime! :)

The next night was a small photo shoot at Santana Row and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It was a great and fun night as well.

Hmm....I think I should start taking more photos to document my adventures.

Sketchbook stuff to come soon!!

Stay tuned!

Previously on.....

A multitude of events have occurred fairly recently that I am truly blessed to have been part of.

On December 11, I was baptized at San Jose Christian Assembly along with my friends Aimee, Christine, Kelly, and Pamela. 

Pastor Jason and Pastor Alice gave each of us a new bible as a gift!

Here is mine

My name was supposed to be engraved on it, but the material didn't exactly "agree" with it. Oh well it's still a cool bible! :)

About a week later I believe, The SJCA crew ended our semester bible study with a Winter Retreat at Seascape Beach. May I say it was quite beautiful.

More photos here.

A week later and it's Christmas!!!!! It was great to have been home and spend time with family. We had hot pot!!!

....and for dessert, my mom's homemade flan! There isn't any other way to eat flan! (No offense to other mom's flan.)

Three of my Christmas presents this year:

 From my parents and younger sister,

From my roommate, Johnathan 

...and from my other roommate, Sean!

Thanks everyone!!

Hi all, so I've been busy with school and stuff, especially at this time around with finals. And that means no sleep.

I just wanted to share this with you! :)
