Thanks for everyone who faved or commented on stuff while I've been gone, I don't really use DeviantArt at all anymore except for the rare occasion that I do something that I'm very proud of. School pretty much keeps me busy and it will be especially so next semester (fall 08) as I will be spending so much time between student teaching and (hopefully) being an RA.

Anyways, just wanted to update being that my last wassss Halloween?

Thanks for all comments and favs and watches and what have you, I appreciate it all even if I don't get a chance to comment back to you, and I will try my best when I occasionally check in to get back to people.

Sooo yeah, blast from the past time, time to throw up everything, things drawn on lined paper, things drawn with references to other drawings, things drawn literally completely identical to other people's drawings. Because while honestly it's kind of stupid to copy other people's art, (I realize this now.) there's no reason to be ashamed of it because it literally is a learning tool (and an AMAZING boost of confidence, which we all know that we need sometimes)

Alright, let's see where it goes.

lots of page views
i am cool

except not
not by a long shot

thanks to everyone who like my art and for the people who make beautiful art of their own.


and to hell with the rest of you
(just kidding)
((not really))


love you all and thanks for everything ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8879541/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8879541/ Fri, 26 May 2006 01:27:50 PDT Which was better?
Hard to say, the Walkmen show was just a no bullshit concert filled with continuous musical goodness as well as an occurance of indie concert mosh (almost unheard of, but usually happens wherever i go)
The Sunset Rubdown show was awesome because sometimes Spencer Kreug is in 3 bands, and sometimes all of them are ridiculous. Also sometimes you have to sing a song outside on the steps, have it heard by Spencer Kreug and then have him open the show by covering it.
Sometimes.

In a word both shows were RIDICULOUS. Fuck all you indie kids who think you're above dancing at shows, wherever I go you better believe its gonna be a dancefest. Music is beautiful and again it angers me that Deviant Art has no section for music. Because apparently music just does not fall under the catagory of art. ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8748114/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8748114/ Fri, 12 May 2006 09:28:14 PDT ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8671642/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8671642/ Thu, 04 May 2006 12:16:34 PDT not really art
it amused me though
i'll take it down eventually

most people probably won't get it though. I don't think DA nerds overlap with cs nerds.

anyways, that was a good streak of headshots by me though ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8656756/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8656756/ Tue, 02 May 2006 21:05:15 PDT

1)Futurama - It NEVER gets old. NEVER. Each episode is so jampacked with jokes that each time it gets better and better. Family Guy on the other hand uses shock value jokes so it gets old fast. Plus Zoidberg is the single most lovably pathetic animated cartoon character ever.

2)Cowboy Bebop - Yeah its anime, but its so much more than anime. It does exactly what it set out to do. It created a genre all of its own which no show since has been able to recreate. Every character in the show is three dimensional and has depth. In my opinion one of the best shows period.

3)Mr. Show - For those of you who haven't seen it, go do it right now. And watch any episode all the way through, because if you stop anywhere in the middle, you'll be majorly missing out. It literally is a stream of consciousness except of comic genius. Similar in fashion to Monty Python but the jokes tend to be more intelligent.

4)The Boondocks - I honest to god feel like the world would be a better place if more people watched this show. Some of it may seem to liberal, but that's often just to contrast with the world and to make a point. The MLK episode and the last episode of the season were both amazingly powerful and funny to boot. Truth rings in the frames of this show. It doesn't get nominated for the NAACP image award for no reason. Watch it. If you have half of brain it will hit home.

5)Harvey Birdman - Possibly the best parady show ever created. The attitude and unique style of the show is fantastic not to mention the amazing starting concept. Watch the intro carefully and it will be one of the funniest things ever (well it was for me because well timed rape jokes are AWESOME) Needs to have more episodes created.

6)Pinky and the Brain - One of the better shows I had ever seen EVER. Plots of world domination are good enough on their own but when mixed with antromice it just becomes something entirely different. Such a simple concept, such an amazing creation.

7)Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Great show but at times is very similar to Family Guy in that the only joke that they could think of is to make something ridiculous happen. Thankfully that doesn't happen as often as it seems.

8)Robot Chicken - If anything comes close to the genius ridiculousness of Mr. Show, Robot Chicken I would say is it. The small segments all for lots of jokes and usually they're pretty good (note the usually) Plus claymation is the shizit.

9)Late Night with Conan O'Brien - Conan is the man. Period. Plus new episodes basically every night is a huge huge plus. And the bands he gets to play are amazing. Its such a nice feeling to watch indie bands get some air time on TV. Hopefully though he doesn't lose his flavor as he moves up in the late night schedule.

10)Family Guy - Great show, but comes in last on the list because new episodes have been going down hill and the almost constant use of shock value jokes and randomness. Very funny the first time, but constantly decreasing joke value from there. Cannot watch any episode more than 5-6 times without getting sick of it. Seth simply cannot compare writing skills with that of Matt.


Incase you hadn't noticed I don't like that many live action shows. Or non-comedy shows. Basically if I'm watching tv I'm trying to avoid drama not get my fill of it. Also [adult swim] is the absolute shit. 12 oz mouse would have a place on my list but its hard to get a feel for the show after so few episodes. Anyways, that was amusing. Off to the outdoors.

Also, for some reason people actually seem to be visiting my page a lot more than they used to. Don't know why, but whoever you all are, you're awesome. ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8464153/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/8464153/ Thu, 13 Apr 2006 22:36:50 PDT it pwnz teh nubzorz

I've just been inactive for... well for a long time
anyways, no real new art to post, because well unlike some of my douche friends, I don't have the privledge of going to a school dedicated to art because I wish to get a job when I graduate. Anyways, yeah, just letting you know I'm not dead. I've been working on some music but for some reason deviant art does not deal with anything of that nature, so meh.

anyways, apparently i get more page views when i'm dead then when i'm alive. I guess I'm emo like that

So here's the list of the editted deviations. You can check them out if you want, if not its cool.

[link] Savior of the bored (which looks much better now)

[link] Gift to Tracy (which looks moderately better. The contrast is nicer)

[link] Gangsta Mashi (which looks somewhat the same, but it has a bit more depth now)

[link] Seeking Truth (this is pretty much my absolute favorite drawing that I've ever done. Has much more depth, looks cleaner and is overall better. Check this one out if any of them)

[[EDIT]]
Because of a lot of commentary about my commentary, I decided to do something like a survey. Basically, I want to find out what people consider to be an art photo versus what is total bullshit shots. So basically I went around the campus and took photos of everything i thought was borderline, and after 150 or so shots, I have weeded through them and am now going to post them as deviations. Please comment on them whether or not they should be considered art. Note that there is significantly less photos posted than taken because a lot of the photos included architecture, so I decided to not use those because people might think that it is about the architecture as opposed to the photo. ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/7290856/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/7290856/ Mon, 12 Dec 2005 11:07:57 PST ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/7184681/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/7184681/ Wed, 30 Nov 2005 10:54:27 PST ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/7017243/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/7017243/ Fri, 11 Nov 2005 10:05:04 PST whatever ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/6520228/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/6520228/ Fri, 16 Sep 2005 20:19:46 PDT
some parts could use more shading but I don't think I'm going to bother

school is going well and because I go to a real college as opposed to arts college like my douchey friends I don't plan on drawing too much

so I hope you're all doing well and I'll see you when I see you

just posting some of the things that i did over the summer
don't have time to post a lot

the functional scanner certainly makes a difference

anyways, I'm 18 now, (WOOHOO) my birthday was yesterday. I could post something and call it a birthday special but I'm not exactly filled with the desire to do so, so i probably won't. Being 18 feels the same as being 17 anyways.

Tons of people have asked me to draw them things... I'll get to it eventually, hold your horses. I'm lazy, its summer, whatever. I will do it though. Especially the fixed tattoo design, because that seems like fun. Anyways, so comment if you want, whatever. Thanks for reading this if you did, I know most people don't read journals anyways, I know I only read like 3/4 of them....

I'll get around to the art stuff eventually, go away. If anyone wants to see me draw something, you comment here or you can talk to me in person.

anyways, so happy july 4th everyone, I hope you all saw some fireworks, but if not, you can check out Electric Dandelions to see what I saw.

I have a slight dilema. Basically, I really do draw a lot more than I take photos, and I would like for my DA account to reflect that. However, I have a ton of photos that I want to put up because I think that they're fantastic...

so help me out here people, should I not care about the ratio of photos to drawings or should I hold out for a bit till I post more drawings or should I take the time to convert them to drawings?

This is a ninja picture I did from a while back when I liked GI Joe (this was a long while back) Anyways, the next picture will probably be Mashi although if I can get some of the lined paper work transfered I might do that instead. *shrug* whatever

wow I don't know why I'm getting pageviews considering that I have yet to really post anything GOOD... Whatever, it works for me! Thanks for the hits people, rock on

For Deviat Art Veterans, I could use some assistance in terms of how to get a clean transfer of an image onto the computer utalizing a digital camera (4mP) and no fancy art programs (I use MSPaint, lol) Everything comes out dark and I'm losing clarity as well as detail...

Another problem is the fact that a decent amount of my good stuff is complete on lined paper (I draw in school during class when I get bored) and the lines make it even harder to get a clean transfer... I guess I'll be transfering those pictures to white paper so I can get a cleaner digital version.

Yeah, so some problems but I'm working through them. Advice from seasoned Deviant Artists is very welcome. ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/5339488/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/5339488/ Thu, 12 May 2005 14:28:40 PDT
Anyways, so I have a lot of stuff to put up on the account, but I think that I'll gradually put them up because if they all went up at once then no one would actually look at them...

also I don't have a scanner so all the stuff is done by using a digital camera and then cleaning them up a little with MSPaint.

So here's the first of the many drawings to come. ]]> ~ChasingEchoes http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/5331230/ http://ChasingEchoes.deviantart.com/journal/5331230/ Wed, 11 May 2005 16:03:30 PDT indeeddddd
