nearly complete

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I started this 3 months ago.  Since I’ve been working I really haven’t taken the time to finish it.  I work on it here and there.  I’m nearly finished though, but not really.

wacom intuos 4

Today I purchased a new Wacom Intuos 4.  Big upgrade from the Wacom Intuos 2 I’ve been using for the last year or so.  Ideally, I would have liked a Cintiq, buuuuuut I’m not ballin’ like that.  Maybe I’ll try and get one for my birthday at the end of the year.  Maybe.

It’s been confirmed that Japanese hip-hop and modern soul producer Nujabes has passed away.  He died in a car accident February 26, 2010.  Sad news to me, as I’m a big fan of his music.   (more…)

vallejo = home

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

If you live here in Vallejo then you know that things are gradually getting worse.  The city is bankrupt.  There’s a rise in crime, dropout rates, foreclosures and unemployment.  With all that aside this is home.  I’ve been here my whole life.  I’d like to get out but I’d also like to stay.  I’m tired of this city but I also love this city.

Vallejo is my home.

Kia motors

Kia has upped their game lately. They got the right advertising company to promote their 2011 Sorento. I’m not a big fan of SUVs but they made theirs look really fun.  The characters are all popular children’s toys or tv show characters.

I noticed the Redford Sock Monkey, and Muno the cyclops first. Among the other characters are: a teddy bear, a robot, & a hairy thing.  The site gives bios on each character and it’s interesting to see how they came about.


Anyhow, they succeeded in making the car look fun.  To elicit a feeling for an object is good advertising.  Bravo.  If anyone knows what studio is responsible for the new ads, please let me know. Thanks
