Suck it up.

2011-08-11T15:52:00.001-07:00

Everyones so whiney lately! 'Im so tired' 'lifes hard' 'cry cry'. ..suck it up. I'm all the things too, but i try not to let it ruin every single day of my life. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Dont sit around complaining all the time, you're becoming a drag and no one will have any sympathy for you if you don't make any efforts to improve your own situation. Takes some vitamins, slug a red bull and move

Help us get to Calgary Expo

2011-07-26T20:21:00.001-07:00

We are taking a big leap in our Comic Convention adventures. This time we're diving into Calgary Expo. We've heard great things from other people who've attended the Expo, and we're really excited to take our comics there! By the time the expo is here we should have ghost tales and maybe even Hello Albertosaurus at least available for Pre-order! Excite!Now there is a small issue of funding. It

Business Plans

2011-03-01T11:54:00.000-08:00

You know, I'm fed up with working for people who don't appreciate my dedication and work. I'm always throwing myself into my jobs, dedicating so much passion and energy into supporting that company and my work to be completely under appreciated and never get anything from these jobs. No more! I'm going to shift that energy into my own work. In Vancouver, Business licences expire every year on Dec

2011-02-14T22:22:00.000-08:00

Well, despite one "complaint" (first I've ever gotten on any of the classes I've EVER taught) I think my class is going well. I think the complaint was more a lack of reading comprehension than a real complaint though. Whatever, I've gotten more positive feedback than bad. I'm often skeptical of people who say they're teachers taking a class like mine. I feel like they're going to just take my

I've got one BUSY month going on! My Copic Class starts tomorrow! There is still time to register! I'm a little nervous, but then again... I'm not. I've had such a good response to my blog, and my many tutorials out there I'm sure I can make it worthwhile for the students. I am also teaching a second class through my work. I'm going to be teaching Acrylic Gel transfers In North Vancouver. If

2011-01-10T22:10:00.000-08:00

.... I've done nothing. I've been playing Michael Jackson: The Experience every spare moment I can. I'm so addicted to the game, I'm just glad it's a lot of physical activity I'm addicted to for once. It's great. small cramped apartment makes it frustrating though. I got a burn on my thumb that didn't hurt so much when it happened, but once it started to heal up and turn into a scab, and then i

New years is only one thing for me this year! a 3 day weekend WOO! Mums in Victoria right now, visiting with Aunty Dewey. Wonder how Deweys CT scan went....

"I love that you are armed with Copics and not afraid to use them.. you will pull out colors to color things and I am like sayyyy what.. then it turns out so cool looking. When I grow up.. I wanna be like you and not afraid to step out of the box and grab colors that I normally wouldn't and just play." - Tracy SSometimes people don't realize how much of an impact their comments will have on

Life Drawing Models Needed

2010-12-13T17:10:00.001-08:00

Opus North Vancouver is looking to hire Life drawing models of all genders, shapes and sizes for un-instructed life drawing sessions to be held in 2011.Clothed and nude models are needed, as well as props and well behaved pets. The sessions are not instructed so the model would be self directed regarding pose lengths, props, etc. Models would be expected to provide artists with a nice variety of

Tattoo, accomplishing nothin'

2010-12-13T15:47:00.001-08:00

I'm getting This dino tattooed on my arm this Friday. Varian's going to do it for me. After work sometime. Should be interesting...I've also jsut dyed my hair pink without gloves on. my fuchsia hands are really distracting as I type, and Veggie keeps licking them. Must be the fruity scent. I'm trying to write a resume, while Erica is working on my cover letter for a temporary position in the

Headphones

2010-12-12T11:34:00.001-08:00

I need suggestions for great headphones (in canada) for less than 50 bucks if possible.I've gone through so many in the last couple years it's not even funny right now. I had the skullCandy Low rider headphones for a while - my first paid the connection to the jack part got a loose wire so it flickered the sound - repeast scenario for 2 more skull candy headphones. then I had one Skullcandy pair

Christmas shopping!

2010-12-10T17:17:00.001-08:00

Just got back from a big ol' christmas shopping adventure!we went to Lougheed Town Centre to do some Christmas shopping for mum and ended up buying more BIG presents and her stocking is still empty. so we're still at a loss for stocking things and funds run low... Tomorrow we are heading down to mums to get her tree set up and we're bringing all the presents over there too. we forgot to mail

4 days off, slaving away

2010-12-09T18:13:00.001-08:00

Busting my butt lately getting ready for my Copic Classes. I have to have most everything ready by the first of January since that's when I really start advertising and accepting students. I'm making banners for the CDAC, a poster to hang up at the art store, and the quay etc, and then of course, the videos, and art work for the course. On top of that, I need to create a supplies list and other

Copic Classes

2010-12-06T17:41:00.000-08:00

In early 2011 I will be starting Online Copic marker classes on the CDAC. I will strive to make them universally applicable to all purposes not just illustration or crafting. They will be entertaining, stimulating and informative, and I think they're a pretty unique angle for markers.For the most part classes will be affordable, 1 month long, have at least 1 assignment, free digital images, and a

Body worlds sketching contract?

2010-11-29T15:08:00.001-08:00

Hopefully tomorrow afternoon I'm heading to the Body Worlds Exhibit in Science world Hopefully to do some sketching but this thing you have to sign in order to sketch has some pretty... alarming requirements. These last 4 for example: 1. The Institute for Plastination (hereafter referred to as “IfP“) shall grant the artist/art student, upon presentation of a valid I.D. and/or student card

Headache

2010-11-22T13:38:00.000-08:00

I'm burnt out. I have had a headache since I woke up - not uncommon. Yesterday I worked the Frame sale (normally my day off) and while it wasn't the worst experience of my life, it certainly wasn't the best. It was Freezing cold (I'm still trying to raise my core temperature), Filthy, and crowded.my jeans are terrifying with how much dirt is on them, I have a ton of mysterious bruises that showed

Good Times

2010-11-08T14:06:00.000-08:00

3 Day weekend! My stat for remembrance day is this weekend, so It's very nice! Next weekend my mum is moving into a new apartment so I have a 3 day weekend then too, but it's hard work days off- not quite the same. Yesterday I got the bulk of my Christmas shopping done. Jake and Fin are done as done can be, Kirsten is done, Temple & Jeff are sorta done. Know what I'm getting, just a matter of

This woman is So clever.

2010-10-30T18:39:00.000-07:00

Lady: "These books that were on your shelf here and here " *gesturing to the sketchbooks - some colours are 50% off, others are regular price* "I'm going to take them off your hands for 5$ each" (car Salesman tone)I looked at the shelf noting the MAJORITY of her pile is the colour that is NOT clearance, and thus is actually $12 each, and only about 7 of the ones she had were actually

Guess what? No, thats not helpful

2010-10-27T17:22:00.000-07:00

Recently I've had several people innocently try to lead me down a path of what they would preceive as a successful route for my carreer. Let me clarify something to you non artists out there. Every artist has a style, theme, niche whatever, that they are good at, enjoy doing, and excell at. That goes for every person on the planet - some people do well in some areas while other do well in other

My Desk - Copic Cases

2010-10-16T22:23:00.000-07:00

Don't doubt my nerdiness.I just spent ...oh, about an hour with tape, and rubber making a Copic display case, LOL.What I did was tape the 2 72piece hard cases together, then using Amazing mold putty rubber, I made a foot on the front of it, to be places right behind the grove where the lid sits. This makes it lean back on an angle so the markers don't tumble out.The Various refills are 2 bins

Bummed!

2010-10-14T18:32:00.000-07:00

Lame! my class I was going to take, The graphic memoir at Emily Carr was cancelled because not enough people enrolled. Lame, I was looking forward to it. Well, that jsut means I'll be going full steam on hello, Albertosaurus. Going to go make a tutorial. COPICS! OH YA! I Love that X-press it blending card so much, but the shipping on icopic.com is insane for Canadian orders so I sure wont be

Another day, another fire alarm

2010-10-07T18:06:00.000-07:00

I think if we worked out an average, there would be around 1 false alarm in our building a week. That fire alarm goes off so often. No one in our building goes outside. The odd time I've gone down there are maybe 4 people down there, and most look like they're just coming home and were forced to stay outside. Really, it's plain ridiculous. At any rate, 2 people have stopped following my other

Something I enjoyed today

2010-10-05T23:41:00.000-07:00

So At work, we put our bathroom out of order permanently due to 5 or so massive blockages in the toilet causing overflow. So either customers are abusing our good nature, or the plumbing is failing. Either way, we can't spend our days pulling customers shit out of the toilet every day - as a result it's out of order. There's the back story. It's relevant. A customer comes in today, and asks for

Productive day

2010-10-04T18:51:00.000-07:00

Been Fairly Productive today.I cleaned out the area that could possibly considered my bedroom if I had one. Then I rearranged and cleared my desk off so that I could use it as an art table as well as a computer desk.So now I've moved my speakers to the side, took some of the boxes off the back that were making a raised shelf, and pushed my monitor alllll the way back, put my lamp in a useable

Sleeeepy

2010-10-03T23:37:00.000-07:00

So tired D: I've got a nasty cold I'm trying to ignore. I'm doing a lot of life replanning. Conflagration for one, has taken a back burner for a while while I rethink it. Given the lack of good help from people, and the grisly failure of getting help from the few who do volunteer I am not going to be able to make Conflagration into a film. I'll never be able to make a proper go of it in as a film

UG! the last.. month or so has basically been hell. I'm stressed... we have one week until the convention and we're our of screw eyes to make more Tik cell charms I'll paint up what we got but I'm a little concerned about stock. I think we need more sketchcards though... ya anyways. Going to meet mum and temple in the morning for some breakfast at ihop. Then moms going to Avram's wedding with

the internet

2010-07-19T23:20:00.001-07:00

WOW! I was just reflecting on how LONG I've been on the internet, and one Point of reference I have for my time is when I created the Quilting bee. Some of you might know it. It's a cutesy little thing that expanded into a really big sort of social network. I created it Feb 18th 2000. That is 10 ...nearly 11 years ago! I remember having to give it up to people who could maintain it full time

Staff show.

2010-07-11T12:42:00.000-07:00

So last night was the staff art show. It was wonderful. Jeri sold a few comics which was nice, and we got to see everyone's work. It was really neat :D each staff member had 5x8' of wall space to post our outwork however we wanted. This is mine and on the right is Kitty's wall space. We each put up some art work and sketch cards. No one bought my sketch cards of course, but Kitty sold 5 comics!

canvas roll WOUND

2010-07-07T17:09:00.000-07:00

I dunno if anyones ever seen the large canvas rolls where you buy canvas by the foot? they have 150feet of canvas on them and some of them can weight... well A LOT! Margot and I were trying to put one of these rolls up on the rack today. of course it was a heavy weight (10 Duck canvas) and it was a monsterous roll. so we got it on on the table, shoved the pole through the spool and we lifted it

Stormy

2010-07-05T18:36:00.000-07:00

Jeri and Mum took stormy to the vet in Surrey on Saturday and had her put to sleep. I'm feeling pretty guilty about it since she was so sick, but she was still mobile and stuff. it felt wrong. people always say "you did the right thing". How the fuck do you know? Anyways, I've been live streaming like crazy lately. and I figured out how to manage my library, so all my multiclip files are all

LiveStreaming and Good times

2010-06-29T09:27:00.000-07:00

So, after watching Touched Venus's livestream broadcasts, I decided I wanted to do it myself. I've done several now, and it's very entertaining.SO far I've done 2 Marker walk through and animation walk through! It's much easier to broadcast from the screen than from the camera, that's for dang sure! Eventually (maybe this Sunday) I'm going to get a new camera so I can offer clearer traditional

Markers and sick days

2010-06-17T18:36:00.000-07:00

Hee, so we get 3 pay cheques in July, which means one is "free" (meaning we don't have to pay rent from it) and since it also sort of corresponds to the inventory sale at my job at Opus, it was a perfect opportunity to spend tons of money on markers. I have 44 Copic Markers on hold! Hee! I also have a cutting mat which we badly needed, a smaller drawing board (my big one has resin all over it,

Who's Bad

2010-06-06T11:53:00.000-07:00

My Mum and I went to see Whos bad at the River Rock Casino yesterday! It was really amazing! The performers were very passionate. There were 2 big screens on either side of the stage that played various clips of the real MJ including Captain EO, The Wiz, and moonwalker as well as his videos and some stuff I suppose they put together. The whole thing opened with a video set to Oh Fortuna which

New layout

2010-05-31T10:23:00.000-07:00

I got a little crazy on blogger, and redid the layouts of 2 of my blogs; This one, and Experimental Guru. I think they look pretty swell :) SO since.. Friday evening we've had no access to deviantART. I contacted Shaw and they said that it's a known issue and they're working on it. Ya well, that doesn't really reassure me too much... but whatever. There's nothing I can do about it, but what

Keeping up on blogs

2010-05-21T18:17:00.000-07:00

I wish there was a way to follow PEOPLE as opposed to following just BLOGS with blogger. For example. I have 4 blogs, so if people want to follow ALL my blogs, they have to follow each one, instead of following just me. Maybe check boxes? Anyways, I get a 3 day weekend this weekend, and I'm stoked for it! God save the Queen :D I'm trying to make a better effort to follow other peoples blogs.. .

Zoo trip

2010-05-10T10:33:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we went to the zoo! Mum, Jeri, Dewey and Darnell. It was a combined Mothers day, Darnell's Bday, and our birthday trip. It was awesome because it was sunny and bright so all our pictures were turning out wonderful! Darnell was more excited than we were so it made it more exciting too! I think we got to see every animal this time, even if the Eurasian Lynx was a bit aloof. We went by his

Birthday Weekend in Stanley Park

2010-04-11T18:10:00.000-07:00

we spent the day in Stanley Park and the Aquarium with mum today. It was much much fun but I forgot to put my memory card back in the camera before we left so I didnt get many pictures ROFL. We went into the 4D theatre which was really cool. I love getting sprayed in the face and punched in my back while watching 3d Movies. It was fun. I'll be renewing my membership in a couple weeks when we go

Conflagration Tattoo

2010-04-04T21:17:00.000-07:00

This is going to be tattoo'ed the length of my arm this month! I'm getting my quote, and making my appointment on the 11th. I'm scared of the cost HAHA! What do you think?

Easter and copics

2010-04-04T12:08:00.000-07:00

So I registered and paid for the Copic Certification course. Man they only give 3 days of a window to pay once you've been accepted, which is tough to do for some people. With all the holidays my money transfers have all been delayed so I had to ask mummy to use her credit card. The course cost more than I thought but my job may pay for it. Get reimbursed. We'll see. May 30th, I'm excited.

oooof

2010-03-24T18:27:00.000-07:00

been in an oddly comfortable position most of the day. I sit on a cushion on a short coffee table because I have no chair for my computer, but its hard on my back to not be able to lean on something, so I propped up some boards reclined back and put the tablet and keyboard both in my lap and Viola! I finished scene 6 for the Tik Short. WOOT! as soon as I'm done rambling, I have to tackle those

Watching a cat die can sure make you think...

2010-02-24T18:42:00.000-08:00

... what a hypocritical society we are. We end an animals life to be "humane" because its pointless to suffer with no hope..."yes we can extend her life for a year, but she will be in pain and it's cruel to let her suffer" they say, but at the same time people with terminal illnesses beg for death and are denied the "humanity" we give to cats and dogs. In the same breath people put so much more

Checkers

2010-02-19T19:28:00.000-08:00

So last weekend mum phoned us to tell us that she called the vet because checkers was looking a little under the weather, losing weight etc. and it turns out the Vet has known since November when she had surgery, that she has cancer. Frustration aside, we now have to take checkers in on Sunday to have her euthanized. We've all (me mum and jeri) had a really hard week of crying and thinking about

Robert Carlyle

2010-02-12T17:09:00.000-08:00

Woot! today was a weird day! First of all my special order of 5 packs of 11x17 Aquabee marker paper today (dropped a chunk of cash on that LOL) I've stocked up because my store can't special order that size anymore. I have 6 packs of 50 now. So ya, Robert Carlyle was in Opus today! It was awesome. Kitty rung him in and he was very nice. It took me a while to know who he was. Jaime was talking

Eye ball Turmoil

2010-01-17T19:40:00.000-08:00

So on Wednesday I flopped in bed, and something rocketed into my eyeball. it irritated so bad it made my eye swell, and a blister form on the surface of my eye. The next day I ran to the optometrist right after work and he said I had a severe allergic reaction to whatever flew in my eye. so I cant wear contacts in that eye until my next appointment on Tuesday. So I've not been able to animate

Stuff and such.

2010-01-05T20:37:00.000-08:00

SO, I've become a busy bee! Mostly I've spent way too much time moderating groups that really have very little activity, but I'm wanting so much to play with my groups that I fiddle around all day. #Daqueran I've been working a lot on the animated short I hope to have done by mid Febuary. It features Tik and for the first time ever, Daqueran! And Daqueran is going to talk! That's pretty exciting

Finally :D all settled with new computer

2010-01-01T18:44:00.000-08:00

Phew, I finally got my computer! Its an HP, with a 1 TB hard drive, 6gb ram, and a nice monitor and a soft keyboard! I'm so happy. I've been installing all my programs. right now downloading itunes and Quicktime and adobe reader so that my Toon Boom can work and I can set up my itunes account. Installing Zune software and backing all my music up on my portable hard drive so i can move it to the

FIASCO

2010-01-01T15:57:00.000-08:00

Theres no other word for it. Getting this computer has been emotionally, mentally and physically draining. So after we bought and exchanged the first one, they wouldn't test it in the store for us so we brought it home and sure enough the second computer had the exact same problem! so back we go (It's pouring rain and a long walk with that HEAVY computer!) and this time get a refund! Fed up. So

GRRRR!!!! computer Strife

2009-12-31T22:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, so against my better judgement, i bought a gateway computer. Half because I was in a rush and the store was closing but half because it was a great deal, and it was really the best specs of the whole store. Seriously quad core 6 gigs of ram lotsa hard drive space and a good video card - it was a sweet machine! and Windows 7 to boot! Perfect. got it home, didnt work. 2 system restores later

The main Event!

2009-12-28T16:31:00.000-08:00

Phew, Finally back home! Got a great haul of stuff this year! WOO! Right now I'm making a big pot of soup and a big pot of stock as well since I got a set of 4 big stock pots. Tomorrow I'm going to make a Lasagne with rotini instead of lasagne noodles (kinda like a casserole) and bake it in our great new toaster oven that Temple & Jeff bought us. I also got some great red jammies, red house coat,

Christmas Spirit tested

2009-12-22T23:07:00.000-08:00

Had my merriment put to the test today. got to surrey to mums house,then out the to grocery store, then back to mums and on the way back to mums she phoned me to remind me to bring my ID to get on the plane. Thats when I realized I didnt have it. Westjet (plane company) had a 2 hour phone hold time and that was out of the question so I phoned Kelowna airport to try and see what could be counted

Goodbye Vancouver

We've got mum a couple things but most everything we have links to her main present that we don't want to give away HAHA! Tomorrow morning we run to

You Know You're an Animator When...

2009-12-20T22:00:00.000-08:00

You think about the how many frames it would take to animate when you see your friends walking A bouncing ball is much more complicated than it looks Besides the 'compelling storylines' anime really does suck MAYA is not just the name of a girl you know Same goes for BRYCE When teachers draw stick figures you doubt their teaching ability... When you are used to hearing gasps when you tell

feel like poo.

2009-11-10T20:03:00.001-08:00

UG, I feel like death. I have this nasty sore throat thing. i've had it before. its agony. Our bunny died as you know, and my friends mum died this morning. I'm so sad for her. My mums cat Checkers had a lump form on her tummy, then it got red. Mum took her to the vet and they wanted to charge 1000$ to just check if it was cancer and mum wasn't willing to do that, but then checkers chewed it

life and such

2009-10-27T20:16:00.000-07:00

Well, the day before yesterday our rabbit died. Little Ukio (aka Hitler) woke us up at 3:30am with a lot of noise in her cage. Given her weakened condition I knew she wasn't up for playing so I got up to check on her and when i reached in i grabbed her ear and tugged on it a little to see what she was doing (in a nice way- she used to like it) and she didnt move and she was cold. Jeri was awoken

Chrome

2009-10-05T22:03:00.000-07:00

SO I'm back to using google chrome again. Its much faster than firefox, and if that wasn't enough (and believe me it is) its also more... what's the word... I dont know, but it doesnt fuck with me like fire fox does. I've only really used FF this long because of the fact that I had all these fire fox extensions that I used for dA but since I'm barely ever on dA anymore really I dont see the point

Run for the cure

2009-10-02T20:27:00.001-07:00

So my big sister temple is Running for the cure to breast Cancer. Some of you know (most of you don't because I don't tend to make a spectacle of these things) my Aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and she's been going through the worst hell I've ever seen enduring the chemo and all that. I'd really appreciate you guys donating to my sister run! She's running for my aunt and also her dad she

The New Canada line Skytrain replaced the B-line bus and so now there is a skytrain going right to it. they have a huge Daiso there and a Beard Papa's! So it should be fun.

Christmas is coming up fast for people who make their gifts, so this weekend I'm starting on them. Temple is all sorted out.

The verve Gallery Auction has ended and my painting sold as the highest bid!

digital painting?

2009-08-23T17:39:00.000-07:00

I thought having a shiney new tablet might be super inspiring but after 2 weeks of owning it I had done nothing (traditional or digital). Then today i said "fuckit!" and started playing with it and boom, I'm starting to be happy with the result of what I'm doing. Its a painting of MJ, and its digital, but those 2 things aside, I'm pretty pleased (not that I'm against painting MJ but It's just

art block

2009-08-11T21:06:00.001-07:00

I am so tired of this 2 month long art block. I've done nothing but sit in front of blank canvases and listen to music. Thank god for music. I think I'd die without it. I don't think I realize how important music is to me until its all I have left. Losing my Abba CD has pissed me off so much. I hadn't transferred all my music to my laptop when i bought it a couple years ago and for some reason

Annoying Day

2009-07-09T17:22:00.000-07:00

Oof. The week hasn't been so bad overall, but today just annoyed the shit out of me. Monday I had to go to the warehouse for 'training' which is really a formality at this point since I've been doing the job for 6 months or more already. I just learned a little trick or two. It was definitely satisfying to see how happy the warehouse staff is with my work :) i got lost on the way because its in a

Bye Bye MJ

2009-06-25T20:48:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm definitely hurting after hearing Michael Jackson Died. 50 isn't very old to die suddenly like that. So Sad. I heard at work and it was horribly distracting all day. I ... Think I'm a celebrity killer... - I was watching and obsessing over Steve Irwin when he died - Bought several Heath ledger movies and was greatly anticipating The Dark Knight when he died - Was obsessing over Roy

Turned out Mytoons took a nose dive so my favourite place to upload animations is gone. Found out because someone reported that the Trailor for Conflagration was a broken link on our site. so I re-uploaded it to Aniboom. Aniboom is good and fast but not as cozy as mytoons. I'll miss them :( And No I have no intention of Uploading it to dA. The uploader is too slow, and without a loading bar or
