Prints Charming

Earlier this year I participated in PrintZero Studio's Exchange 6. This group annually collects editions of fine prints, Exhibits them, and distributes them out to artists. My lithograph was on this panel at the bottom, third one over. It was an abstraction of a curtain and telephone. Anyway, you can Check out lots of the other cool entries on their photostream here.

I'm looking forward to the LAPS Exhibit opening reception this Thursday. Was just recently accepted in their society and now I'm allowed to be all in the know of printmaking events going on in CA. It was all just hearty laughs at me before.

The postcard for the show is here, with a little preview of all of the pieces in the show. Come check out the art in person if yer in the area!

All the info on the back:

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.

Through the Blizzard Again..

Aug. 20-21: Blizzcon '09. This marks my second attendence and also, recalling the writing about my first Blizzcon reminds me this blog's just about 1 year old.
The Convention in review...fun, engaging, informative, and..well, not as hype as the year's past. Don't get me wrong: The hall was packed full and expanded, energy and excitement from the major fans(and cosplayers),there was PLENTY of hype-worthy info on the next upgrade to WOW, in the form of 'World of Warcraft:Cataclysm'. But...well, it's been a slower(or perhaps much quieter)year of development for Blizzard. But hey, fans were still happy. I was definitely satisfied with minor tweaks and the new class(the Monk) for Diablo III, and meeting Felicia Day of The Guild fame was sweet. And last but not least...seeing Ozzy live!! Prince of Darkness still got some bite in him. Here's to next year...Which definitely promises to bear much more in their developments.

Goin' to War

Evo2k 2009? Plenty of hype, crazy all night. I don't have the words to summarize all of the excellence, so I'll just leave you a shot of me and producer Yoshinori Ono. It was great to meet him again, andI dunno how many guy's chests he's signed, but mine's on the list. The man is happy all the time! He graciously accepted one of my New Warrior tees.


And as if Evo weren't enough, what d'ya know bout this?
http://www.warzonetournament.com A big annual tourney back in Socal? Feels so right. It's a good time for fighting games.. And I'm there, y'all.

Trying to Lose?

Over the past couple months I was taking on a few artistic projects...Heck, more than a few. I was trying on more than most should aim to, it was like setting myself up for failure. Learned Flash animation(will post the final project sometime), createded on a small line of SF shirts(still in process), continued development on The Fedups project, worked on printmaking.

One of the pieces I spent too much time on is the lithograph below. It started with my wanting to add a piece that would compliment and expand my body of fineprints. When I get around to it I'll try to get you guys some peeks of a few other prints in the portfolio.

Trying Toulouse, lithograph on Rives BFK, edition of 20.

I'm older and wiser now!

It's May already? Geez. I really need to send out 2008 Christmas presents.
Past few weeks have been filled with Printmakings, misc projects, Street Fighter and sleep. I'm getting spoiled these days with being able to get full nights' sleep.

This past Wednesday I had some printmaking work up for Art Open House at the ol' GWC in Huntington Beach. Working on a sick lithograph I'll have up here for you to check out next week. Definitely. Cause the semester's just about to end.

Also've learned a lot in Flash CS4 in the past months. I'm currently in the middle of an animation short which should win me an academy award. Well, no, but it's going to be pretty awesome. I'll leave ya with some tantilizing still shots. Check back for the eventual finished product!
