I Love Soccer!






I love soccer. It's one of my all time favorite sports, now. You can play it any time of the year, in any weather, and it's a game anyone can play. I think that's it is a little under-rated here in the US, mainly because our US team isn't number one, and that saddens me deeply. They should still get the media attention they deserve. Hopefully these very ecstatic players can get more interest in the sport, and create a more deeper sense of soccer awareness. I know I've been moved and inspired by these very aggressive and dedicated patrons of the sport. On that note, I think we need a change. These uniforms are perfect examples. They are aerodynamic, have enhanced mobility, very lightweight, and makes playing one-on-one more sensual. You really have to feel your opponents movements in order to defend efficiently, and forget about grass, it just hurts more when you fall. Mud is way more safe.



Eight Ball! Mailbox! Scissor! Bomb! Diamond! Mailbox! Mailbox!



O, man. One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. To be honest, I thought I wasn't gonna do a blog today because it was a severely lazy day for me. But this warranted a blog. The interpretations of the fonts were unique and creative, especially Futura. And definitely, Wingdings haha. It was an okay clip up until the Wingdings scene, then it got hilarious! Well, my point of view anyway. The only negative opinion I have is that they didn't include Papyrus, Helvetica, and Caslon. Would have gone a whole new lvl... haha and I like how Futura is wearing nothing but blue spandex, green shorts, and the Green rangers gold vest thingy, haha. Would have been fun to see Hobo font, also. Mailbox! Open Mailbox!

Not feeling well...


...hard to be poetic when you got cracks in your chest where your heart used to be. Stupid monkey.

So Your Falling?...

...if it's because of a girl I think it's a good thing you haven't hit the floor. Otherwise, "keep falling".

Something Fishy with Cognitive Psychology!


I drew a fishy! And a pretty darn good looking one, I might add. Today's class wasn't too bad. I like that she wants us doodling to stay focused. From her point of view, it probably looks like no ones paying attention, but I guess you do what works, or MAYBE, she doesn't like looking at our faces as she lectures... Hmmm, that's a concept right there. But there is scientific proof that doodling while being lectured increases alertness and the ability to retain information. Mainly works on the really boring things where you start to daydream.

Check it out for yourself. No BS here! http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/02/27/take-note-doodling-can-help-memory.html

Pervy Monkey!



This is kinda like a safety blanky for me. I take it everywhere. It's been with me in almost every competition in and out of the country. It's my pen baggy. It holds nothing but the essentials in writing, drawing, or doodling of my thoughts. And on the PLUS side, it's got a funky monkey on it! Japanese graphic design are really somewhat perverted, but it is funny. How else would you illustrate "Happy Ends", than with a monkey and a smiling juvenile taking a shower? Goshi! Goshi!

Pics of the day?


Ok. Granted that its midnight and technically these pics were taken yesterday, I'm still gonna go ahead and post'em as is. Sponge Bob. Found him in my backpack. The best "Animal" crackers I've had in a long time!




I call this the Design Tornado! Pretty much consists of everything I've done in Ai thus far, maybe a little less. I cleaned my desk one time before and lost everything. Now it's just "organized mess". My pica ruler is in there somewhere.
