Mojave and birthday card

One sunny warm Sunday afternoon, my super good friend and I were on our way back home from our great weekend adventure and passing through Mojave, CA. 

We saw something that was very amusing on the sidewalk right on the US-14.

Several mannequins, lower torso only, wearing different panties were displayed. I asked my dear friend to stop her car a bit so I could take a photo of her standing in between those since they had space. Occasionally she could be not cool and refused my brilliant idea. 

To make it up, I made this for her birthday present wrapper last week with her in her outfit on that day.

I didn't dare to go all the way super curvy sexy, afraid if she would be upset at me! :p

Happy Cakeday!

A Cake-tile birthday wish for MJM so for real everyone giving him cakes. Virtual cake is counted, I say. Keeping the birthday boy from cake overdose.

#JenErich2013

Just this past weekend my good friends Jen and Erich got married! Woohoo!

I knew them since my early days in college and couldn't be happier to be there to celebrate their moment. They're really cute and it was such a beautiful wedding!!

Revisiting their concept.

Birthday Card for a Super Cool Dude!

Distraction from projects, or good distraction cos I had fun. Although I obviously had no idea what I was doing here! A birthday card for a very good friend of mine but I don't think I captured him well :/ 

One of the top coolest dudes I've ever known, full of energy and very inspiring!! Always great hanging out times and he taught me to do tubing at the river last Summer. He would share me his most honest thoughts to motivate me to make good work, and things to look at, including the animation in this animation show by Gainax. I tried to draw him in that show anime style but I didn't succeed to completely get out of my comfort zone. Anyway, this drawing is also to cheering him to finish his personal animation short on top of his longgg hours and days of profesional work.

Another Moleskine Cahier cover.

Happy birthday, Super Adam!

A couple years ago Adam gave birth to Jeff the Robot, and his friend, a boy named Mo. So I drew a fanart and added the creation process on the covers of a moleskine sketchbook I gave to Super Adam Holmes for his birthday today!

I wrote with ink on the inside cover, hence it is a real deal contract with my impossible-to-copy-signature, that if within 6 months he fill up all of this little sketchbook pages, I'd get him a piece of cake. To think about it, that's totally too long of a given time, that made me too generous!! This sketchbook is small! I'm now regretting it but I already wrapped it up. Well, the size of the piece of cake wasn't stated... heheh.

Anyway, if you haven't seen Adam's film featuring Jeff the Robot, you definitely should check it out here! He finished this film while also being our loyal TA, in fact, he was our TA for 2 years in a row (total 6 quarters in a row). He really was a super TA and saved some of us who had problems throughout our filmmaking process. 

He's also a very good friend and an amazing artist/designer too! FYI, he wears those type of glasses that totally makes him look like Clark Kent. My classmates made a legit Super Adam TShirt this past summer, and for sure I own one too :)

Thank You - Telluride Film Fest 2012 Trip!

I was selected as one of ten UCLA FilmLAB Fellows for this year's Telluride Film Festival! 

It was an extraordinary, one of a kind experience, and I can't express well how much grateful I was to be there, getting to know and hanging out with other UCLA grad students that only two of them I knew of their existence before the orientation meeting, the faculty advisers also everyone I met there and grabbed drinks with :), and of course all the films and wish I got to see more films! 

Here's an article that summed up some of the highlights of the experience.

Telluride is such a gorgeous little town among the mountains of Colorado, and even though I got extremely exhausted after the trip, it definitely was my vacation of this year! and the new place I got to see of this year :) 

Now I've been back being with computer inside buildings :( 

Huge Thanks to everyone who made the trip possible and being part of the terrific Labor day weekend!

guitar and couple

I turned this in as a homework assignment for my figure drawing class few weeks ago ^__^ It's a great class :)
The idea crossed my mind while I was doing layouts and backgrounds and listening to a piano instrumental piece.
I thought I'd try to do something different from what I usually do.

Masks

An illustration that I rushed in a night :/ and turned it for a class homework last week. I knew I could work on it way more, knew where the not-so-good parts >_< but deadline was deadline. Based on a quick doodle I made while in class last semester. I posted that doodle in one of my older posts.

Have you ever experienced that feeling?
