Prone to do things

It's 2 in the morning. I could write that anytime I'm in an inspired mode of working. I've wished I could be more productive and engaged to do things at a timely, normal hour, but hey. Best to embace it and so what I do.
I've had the opportunity to get involved with the Fighting Game Community and contributed FNN to the socal area, and it's been growing since late December '09. Next month will mark its final sessions(whether temporarily or indenfinite) and we're wrapping up with a big event! This has been an experience and labor of love. More info and if you'd like to attend, here.

This summer I'm putting my foot down and stepping forward from Goldenwest College, in hopes to begin studies at Cal State Long Beach. GWC has been incredibly rewarding and convenient for about 3 years, and I'm set forth for further artistic challenges. I'm thankful for the art I've been able to work on here as well as a recent Ken Kirslake Student Award from APA by nomination from Professor Conley.

Finally, my company/project thefedups.com has been under dormant stages for a long time but will be official soon, and I'll be pouring myself into that. Five gallon buckets. 2 AM. I'm prone to do things.

Everything, just over time.

I've been up to much as of late. Or, I've been up TOO much as of late. Which ever it is, here's the quick run down:

Continued ideas in printmaking work. 'Delicate Ladies'? 'Japanese Ericks'? It may not make sense now, but you'll know soon. Picked back up progress with 'The Fedups', though substancial content remains far away. Worked with Darrick Lazo in creating a solid entry for corporate video contest at work(The results have yet to be released). It inspires continued video work.

Submitted lithographs to Los Angeles Printmaking Society’s 20th National Printmaking Exhibition and got two pieces accepted! The show will be opening next month!
Last week the huge japanese gaming news site, Famitsu featured an interview with Ono, who was revealing info on the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4. He sported the 'New Warrior' shirt I gave him at Evo2k. Sick!!!

Details on a next shirt design are underway.. Competing in a SF4 2v2 tourney in Santa Ana in a week. Training underway...

And that brings us up to date. I've been fortunate to have a lot of good stuff going this past month. Things I've aimed for that have accumulated overtime. Now, it's getting late in '09, which means it's time to kick into gear some work for printmaking. Sheesh, that's a lot in such short time.

I'll end with a few collabs I've done with Chris Kato. A little bit of things I hope to continue, unless the art world tells us that's enough.
