Music and happenings

Hey!

I scrounged up some courage and submitted a song to OCREMIX. Dear god, I am nervous. They are pro and are gonna tear me apart. Feh! I feel confident though. I put a lot of effort into this track and really think it turned out nicely. Check it out. It's from the FFX ost. Enjoy (and give me feedback!

I also uploaded a few random songs I had lying around on my computer.

In other news, my online portfolio is nearing completion! I should have a nice, clean website to showcase my illustrations and music by reading break! So hold out for that!

Checkerpop and CUP

Oh yeah. Denver and I have been doing a comic each week and it's been going well! Check them out here. A comic each week! A nice colourful website! What more could you ask for?! WHAT?!!

Also, I am at UBC right now attending a CUP conference! It's kind of fun so far. I will post again with details about the various workshops and tutorials (and crazy photos).

Here's just a sample of line art on one of the pages from the 3rd volume of Checkerpop! Click to enlarge!



Had a lot of fun up late drawing this one. Denver and I basically finished it but our printer blew up! We are now considering a few different options for printing. I'll get back to you when we know how we'll be printing.

In other news, Van comicon was a good experience! Our comics sold out save a few copies! Met some interesting artists and had a radical time!


Some interesting characters there for sure! The pic above is from a cool dude/game designer (Ian Christy). More of his photos of the con here.

I have a million other things to say. We are chillin' at Nigel's listening to him mix dope beats and I'm going to pass out now!

Bye friends!

The con went well. Sold a bunch of comics. Had so much fun. Spent way too much money on the whole ordeal.


Wanna thank everyone who contributed to the comic book as well as everyone who bought a copy or said nice things about it!! :)



So much fun!

I will be using my tumblr account as a sort of music blog thing. Either that or myspace. But I don't have a myspace account, I have a tumblr account - and it allows me to upload music in an attractive format!

So,

GO HERE: ---> MUSIC

I will link frequently.

Things.

This album is up for download here. Go listen to it right now. Uematsu will blow your mind (once again). Even that album art, damn yeah. I have been listening to this one religiously for the past few days. My taste in music lately has been very odd. I've been rotating between this, Death from Above 1979, and some CSS. The ipod shuffle kind of forces me to mix things up.

Speaking of music, I am in the Black Stilt doing some research before work; they are playing The Slackers and it's making me happy!

Fun Times.

Recently I decided to polish up the website (and by polish I mean bring it to a functional state...barely). I think I will be using this page as my (sketch) blog and spot to archive some cartoons. Well, this and deviantart.

That aside, NEWS!

We are going to the Calgary Comic Expo April 26-27!!! And by "we," I mean the "team." We went last year and it was amazing. They had some big names on the guest list and it kinda rocked the universe. This time, however, the importance of the people attending will blow your mind. Like, holy shit. I can't believe it. This list will make you shit your pants.

Go here for all the juicy details:

We have a table there and will be selling shit. I will update later with details and shiz.
