2009-09-12T19:42:00.000-07:00

i was sitting at my sister's boyfriend's house, he has a daughter that draws and she is constantly asking me to teach her how to draw... I'm not much of a teacher so i tell her just keep drawing, just keep drawing... so i sat down today and drew her on request, so she could copy the picture and work on drawing faces. so i drew the picture of her, then my niece sat down and said draw me next... if i didn't leave the house when i did, i would have drawn 6 people's faces... bah!~

Haven't seen anything from me in a while?

HEROES!!!

2009-02-21T14:26:00.000-08:00

How come no one told me that Heroes was the greatest show on earth??? i was sitting here today watching the first season... i think i got through 5 of the disc already... And also; how come no one told me that it was addicting??? any who, i was watching it and pretty much anything i watch i analyze... so i thought that it was ridiculously close to how we should be as Christians... we should come together to try to "save the world". When its just one of us, its a BIG task but when we fail not to assemble our selves that BIG task is still big but easier to conquer. we have a lot of work to do in so little time... this "bomb" is going to explode and there will be no one there to stop it if we don't get on our JOBS. Lets become those "heroes" that God destined us to be and save the world!!!

Be Blessed and Die Daily!!!

Just something fast

WHAT IN THE WORLD

2009-02-17T14:56:00.000-08:00

He is not a super hero... he is just a kid with an abnormally shaped head and a peg hand... i had fun drawing this... i have made it a point to draw every day, no matter what comes to mind, just draw it.

Kungfu panda?

2009-02-16T13:06:00.000-08:00

once again i was going thru some of my old drawings and i came across a panda i drew... it was a Kung fu panda... way way way before the movie came out!!! i always had a theory that there were spies set out to look over all the known artist's shoulders in the world to see if they have any great "new idea"... things that no one has yet ventured into. and I'm guessing my theory is correct! or all great minds think alike... this has happened to me once before... DARN YOU SPIES DARN YOU!!!

Jesus was pierced for us

2009-02-14T15:46:00.000-08:00

He was beat He was torn till He bled
Some one please pull them thorns out His head
He was pierced in His wrist pierced in His feet
satan laughed as Mary wept
now picture this happen over and over again
us repenting yet stepping in the same sin
did He die in vain
did He not leave His love on the blood stain
look at America the pitiful
the evil corrupting all its people
its critical we reach out to the masses
grab them out of the quick sand, the world that's the trap kid
but the fact is we're all acting like savages
piercing Him in the side again
we might as well have been the ones pressing the crown of thorns on His head
nuff said

2009-02-12T07:38:00.000-08:00

OLDIES BUT GOODIES: A Look Back

2008-12-18T09:19:00.000-08:00

I was going thru my box of drawings today looking for a super girl i drew for somebody...
but unfortunately i couldn't find it, so i have to start from scratch :(
...but i ran across some art i was proud of at the time and looking back i realized i came a long way...
but i still have some growing to do!

for this one i was trying to come up with a superhero for myself...
just never figured out if i had powers or not... did i just fight to fight, was i a vigilante?
and the beast in the background is my friend "sidekick"...
he actually morphs into that beast when our lives are threatened...

this one i drew while still in college...
every body knows what happened Sep. 11th...
i was sitting in the class room when i saw some one run by yelling and crying as though they had lost their ever loving mind... they ran in the class and told the professor to turn the television on... and boom...
the twin towers were hit... many people at the college were from NY and still had family there...
all i could do is drop my head and pray for the families...

turtles are my favorite animals to draw...
maybe because of my nickname? i dunno...
but i don't know how long ago i drew this one...
i still like it

yea, this was a CD cover i did for somebody i use to work with... i was 17 i think... but the guy stiffed me on payment...
i drew it for him gave him the file and he left town and i haven't heard from him since...
i think the story is;
he got fired from the job i did freelancing for and never wanted to come back... well a loss is a loss...
what can you do, i still have the original!!!

teacher...
