Kodak DC 210 vs Nikon vs Canon vs — Does it even matter anymore?
The first digital cameras I used were the school’s Sony Mavicas that stored images on floppy discs and the Apple Quicktakes. It wasn’t until the affordable Kodaks came out that I finally got one of my own. My dad bought me that Kodak DC 210. It was on discount for about $400+. I was in...
Figure Drawing – 11-31 – Atlanta Artists Center
Charcoal and Canson Bisque and Newsprint and the Music I like to listen to when I draw.
18 x 24: iPad as a Digital Portfolio
Thoughts on custom tailoring my various tablets for presenting work, and finally putting a stop to traditional printed portfolio binders.
Hey Kids!! Comics!!
When we were in high school, most of the art kids wanted to draw comics. We thought it would be so cool, if any of us got into the industry. Most of us parted ways after high school. Some got married, others ended up working in the factories and restaurants, but all...
Ashes
Well…I guess this is one way to end a series or body of work. First off I would like to apologize to anyone affected or traumatized by fire, it just felt like good closure to get rid of the weight of these drawings by turning some of them into ashes. Please don’t think that I’m...
Digging…
Digging, it refers to DJ’s and Turntablists going through crates of records, looking for samples and other inspiration to create their music / artform. I guess that’s why I’ve been on my vintage theme. When people want to get into photography, they always ask me what camera to get. It’s a bit more complicated than that… ...
You Can’t Go Home Again pt. 2
I draw, I take photos, I write about things. Most of the time it’s about silly and inconsequential stuff. This is another part in a series where I go back to visit places where I’ve lived. Even if for a short time, these places tend to resonate into our adult lives. You can read the first part here. Thanks...
You Can’t Go Home Again
I’m sure most of us have mixed emotions when it comes to thinking about the places where we grew up. In movies and tv, you see it a lot, famous people and athletes returning to their humble homes with a lit match or a bulldozer in tow. For regular followers of my work, I’m sure...
Same as it ever was…
I was never the type of artist that had an amazing traditional sketchbook, the spiral bounded diary of sorts that you didn’t want people to see, but in actuality, you kind of did. My books always had torn out pages, barely legible writing, and other poor attempts at witty sayings and bad poetry. In browsing the archive to transfer it...
Manophet: Lonely Buffalo
I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman in Laos, Manophet, whose life story is pretty amazing. As a farmer, monk, soldier, singer, translator, teacher, and father, his life was full of triumph and tragedy, that should make us all think about our own selfish desires and priorities. I’m saddened to hear that he passed away due...
A Mess of Things…
…Season 5 Finale…well, this one ends sooner than I’d thought…thanks to everyone who have followed along over the years. This time I truly feel that it’s time to hang things up…try and forget about this “theme” and begin a new one, or perhaps just do nothing at all. I’m an artist that never really kept up a...
↑,↑,↓,↓,←,→,←,→, B, A, SELECT, START
Been cleaning up, i.e. throwing away junk, and I came to all my old videogames. For old times sake I hooked up an NES to the projector and played a couple of games. Of course it acted up in the beginning and took the breath on the cartridge trick to get it going. I...
…things that have been on my mind…
A few weeks ago we went to visit our old sponsors. It's something most Lao people are familiar with, having an American family adopt us or help bring us over from the refugee camps. Over time, we grew up and moved away, while most of them passed away.
