Recently arrived in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Visiting my dad and my bro, maybe visit my old school and house too. Still suffering from jet-lag on the second day but so so so happy to be here!! I missed it so much (even though I paid a visit only a few months ago in december >.>;; ).

btw, I've had a blog for little while that I might have mentioned before, check it out:

hope you're all having an awesome summer vacation!

Anyway. Random update:
-Went to Israel(Tel-Aviv) for winter break to visit my bro and dad. It was pretty safe because Tel-Aviv is still out of the missile-range, so no problems there. My bro and I went to Acre (Akko), so fun. He was pretending to be Altair from Assassin's Creed >.>;; (good we went when we did, 'cause Israel got attacked from the north shortly after) <.<'''.
-Got a TV for the dorm (finally!). Flatscreen 19". It was cheap, but tax on it was around $40!! wtf?! l:c
-Ordered a PS3 (only reason I got a TV, virtually) and Little Big Planet .
-Classes are pretty cool. Except for that one day where I have classes from 9am to 9pm with only 2hrs in-between.
-earphones died, so I ordered a pair of red SkullCandy headphones (got a used pair, so pretty cheap ).
-Need to go to a real supermarket instead of just living on Rice and canned food from Walgreens (I still love you, Walgreens).
-Discovered some new songs to rock to (new to me). like Kids by MGMT and a bunch of songs by the Killers.
-Someone lent me a Wii, playing that until PS3 comes.
-looking into making my own chocolate molds from weird plasticky mold clay (healthy for chocolate-making uses).

!!!!! so many things waiting in the mail. excited

I want to go "EEEE" in a very girly way, but my roomate would not approve.

However, I'm looking for an alternative to PayPal, which made my $50 disappear some time ago. I looked up Google Checkout which a friend of mine suggested, however it seems to be just as bad.. (seizing money for no reason, etc.).
I want some money without getting a job dammit! (or at least for now, since I'm really really busy with schoolwork). Going to try to make some plushies or something during my winter break.

argh...

I'm stuck in some deep shit right now. But there may be an easier way out of this.
Apparently (and I'm the biggest idiot in the world for not realizing this sooner and/or not paying much attention to it) there are barely any classes in SAIC (school of the art institute of Chicago) that involve Animation or Game Design (the two areas I want a career in some day).

sooo..... I have two possible options:
1. Transfter to another school (BIG pain in the ass/risky)
2. See if I can take classes in these fields through another school (if this is possible).

I'm going to talk to my academic advisor real soon. But if there is no way I can take classes that involve these subjects, then I'll have to look into doing a transfer....

If anyone is in a good school that has a lot of animation and game design, or knows someone who might know a lot about this, leave a comment.

As if I wasn't already stressed out enough >_>;;;;;;

P.S: this school is REALLY into conceptual stuff. Like "paint a canvas red and paste some feathers on it to show your feelings" sort of thing. Which I AM NOT into at all. but that's beside the point >_>;;

2. I have/will have LOTS of stuff to upload. just need a moment to scan them. (currently working on a piece I'm happy about ^_^).

3. Bought a hard to find dvd of an awesome looking animation [link] . The copy I got has eng. subtitles and a dub (there's an english trailer on youtube somewhere) but to view it I need to change the nationality of my computer (which can only be done 4 time! ever!).

guess I'll just see it once and watch it on other computers if I want to rewatch?... or just leave it on european mode since it's a frence/spanish production dvd thing..

4. had second thoughts about SAIC since it's so conceptual (not me) and there are barely any classes related to animation and game design (which is what I'm want a career in)...
I don't think I'll transfer. my sister suggested taking a semester in different schools as an exchange thing but stay in SAIC. too busy to think about something like this now :c .

5. can't wait for december!! I'm going to visit NY and see all my missed friends and then Israel to see my brother and dad.

So we came up with the idea that I should move in . There are three other people not including the one who is moving out and they're all really awesome and nice (that's why I'm moving in).

I have a meeting tomorrow with the guy who's in charge of room switching (but I"m %90 sure it's possible I can move, so yay).


Argh! I need to work on my 66"x90" project thingy. I'll post it up here (though it's looking kind of shitty so far l: c ).

School Update! :

So far it's awesome here. I love all of my classes so far (though there can be some ups and downs with Core and Research class. Even though most of my classes are first year requirements, I at least get to take one elective (3D!!).

I want to take anything I can that has to do with animation and the gaming industry, but I'm not sure there are many (if any) classes that have to do with gaming. I know there's one class that deals with analyzing games (design, plot, the way they work, etc.) so that's awesome. Guess I have to wait until next year when I can take more classes related to my "major" though.

btw, there are now majors. This means I can take ANY class I want without being restricted to one field. And every class is pass/fail, so that instead of focusing on the grade, you can focus more on the art without stressing out. At first I thought this would just make me lazy. But instead of a grade to make you nervous, there's this great sense of competition. So if I slack off and someone makes something that blows my mind, it motivated me to try harder. ARGH but I'm procrastinating right now when I could be doing my long-term core project (and artist presentation.

just to clarify, Core = focus on technical skills and working with diff. mediums Research= conceptual ideas.
technique vs. concept

Today update:

Went to buy cloth for my core project (it's a huge collage the size of my bed. One of the biggest things I ever worked on, so scary) and the women I was getting cloth from were SO BITCHY. I was with a friend of mine, and when she went away from the counter to fetch some more cloth, the women at the counter said:

"how can they pay for so much cloth?"
"oh. they don't pay for it. they get their money from someone. they ALWAYS get their money from someone. like their parents"

and they talked about this in such a shitty derogatory way that made me and my friend seem like ungrateful kids that just use up their parents money. ARGH it just makes me so mad l

On a another note. We stopped at an awesome bead store and made necklaces. I found this awesome metal fish with big red eyes and put it on a silver string with beads that look just like the eyes. yaaay it looks kickass. I'll post a picture.

I'm so happy I'm finally working on this intimidating project!!!!! And I'm learning how to make plushies so that I can earn some extra cash (but mostly because it's fun).

HAPPINESS

Leaving tomorrow morning for plane to college in Chicago. SAIC

No energy from packing, must get sleep.

Must finish painting for my mom early in morning, ugh.. (will post that, promise).

Most I've packed in my life.

Have temporary third roomate, and four day weekend after 1 day of class, weird.

I'll try to make lots of art so I can post it when I get back! (unless I'll be distracted, which is what will probably end up happening >_>;.

Then I have two weeks at home before I leave again to go to the Art Institute of Chicago.

P.S: I"m still thinking of doing commissions, but since PayPal took my money (found a shitload of similar stories online, not much you can do about it according to their user agreement) I'm looking for an alternative. Any ideas? (found some online, but I'm wondering what other people are using).

What I'm not sure of is prices... And what kind of drawings I should make... I hope I don't just forget about this idea and continue being a couch potato (I never really use the couch, so I guess I'm just a potato).

If you know any deviants who have their prices posted, please leave me a link so I can get a sense of what a fair price could be (fair for the "customer" as well as for me...).

Random Updates:

-Working on painting a pair of white vans shoes (actually converse, look like vans).
-Attempting to learn how to draw architecture, and I guess random scenery stuff as well (trees, clouds, blah).
-Second week at my internship, I'll let you know how it's going (don't want to post anything here, I use a computer there, if you know what I mean).
-I'm learning how to cook, made lasagna, it sucks.



I miss my friends at school, most of them aren't seniors... But at least I have one friend at my internship. <: )




can I do a text wrap somehow?
I don't want to bother the image
with annoying text.



oh my god, my organization skillz
suck..







P.S: Maybe I should make my journal
entries go in a text bubble, now that's an idea.
Maybe I should make a more summary journal too.
That coat looks a bit suffocating in this weather.

Thanks again to for giving me a DA subscription .


Update:

Prom is coming up, and I'm actually going (though it's about $70 ._. ). Got the dress and shoes over passover (during which I ate matza pancakes that always managed to be undercooked on the inside and burnt on the outside).

I'm not so sure after all if Ebay is really worth it. Whenever something doesn't sell (which happens more often than expected) I need to relist the item for .25 cents. It doesn't seem like a lot, but if it happens a bunch of times, which it does, it adds up... I think I just need to find more expensive things to sell.

Still suffering from chronic senioritis. I always said that I would make huge awesome paintings if I had the time... I lied ._. .



Until next time.

If I had a DA subscription, I would post all of the pictures I took of the chocolate me and my friend made :c. Yes, chocolates. Gummy Bears, worms, and marshmallows covered in chocolate, to be precise. Might post a fancy deviation later.

Also, sold another three items on Ebay $_$. Maybe one day I'll have enough to pay for my food in college (that's right, no meal plan D: ).

End of random update.

Hint: someone who's b-day is June 10th would love a DA subscription.

P.S: Also reading HP and the Order of the Pheonix in hebrew so that I don't get too rusty like *ahem* .

I'm feeling bit Ebay crazy and felt like selling another 4 items.

Anime and Game Characters volumes 2 thru 5.

Wow, you can buy anything- ANYTHING on ebay (that's where I got me roxas action figure c: ).

They even sell bread on Ebay. Kinda sketchy.

Anyway, just got an internship at Axxium, a web design place 2 minutes from my house. Now I don't have to worry about wasting time doing a dead boring internship god knows where (senior internship is mandatory :b).

I familiarized myself with Dreamweaver and learned that making web pages isn't all that intimidating. You have to pay to register, though.

Doing commission for my friend oDragonSeyeOo: from school. btw, how do you make a deviant's avi appear in comment boxes? Heilos on DA tried to show me, but it didn't work ;_;.

Also, I'm selling my first item on Ebay, gotta get rid of all my old junk before going to college and get some extra cash (no meal plan). [link]3984.cSELL.m315.lVI
It's an anime drawing book. Please tell someone your think might be interested =ºoº= (cute desperate bunny face).


Ok, I think that's about it. Wow, my life seems like such a bore when it's typed out -_-.

P.S: Rented Paprika and Planet of the Apes (1968) and got an oriental party mix thing. This was important for you to know, believe me.

P.P.S: I've been falling asleep/nodding off in my classes lately, especially film studies. I should get more sleep, or force myself to be more interested. School is so boring senior year. Comment, I'm bored. Reading comments helps fill in the huge gaps of time in my day. Wow, I typed a lot. Am I ADD or what?

The week after next, when there is a week off school, I'm going to sleep in and play the new DS which is due to arrive on Wed. (along with Pokemon Diamond).

Even though I made this promise in an earlier post, I'm going to make A LOT more art and fill up my gallery with a lot of goodies (now watch as I break this promise yet again -_-; ).

I just got the envelope a few minutes ago (it was wet).

Now I'm more motivated than ever to finish those Chicago pieces! I think I still want to go to Chicago because I wouldn't survive in a high-stress place like RISD. I've been so stressful Junior year (I go to a VERY stressful school) and I think I as well as my art would suffer.

Chicago has a very good animation department and seems more mellow to me. In the end, it doesn't matter so much which art school you went to, but what your art is like. I kind of feel like I'm missing out on a great opportunity, but it's just because RISD has a really high reputation.

Concentration Description:
An everyday (or small) object appearing to be a large structure or scenery (not original, I know, but time is running out).

I came up with this concentration topic because it kind of has to do with what I was thinking of doing for a game in game design class.

The only problem is, my concept revolves around architecture and I can't do architecture. I really suck at it, apparently. T_T

"So why don't you think up another concept?"
Me: why? Because I can't think of another concept, that's why! I have a few weeks to make several illustrations of a concept and I'm stumped.

Current concept:
My concept was (and this may be a little confusing without visual aid) that I would make a painting (watercolor) of rooms with the floor being a mirror, or some sort of reflection. So this reflection would look like the same, just upside-down but underwater. So it would look like a flooded room, basically. The reflection would be kinda blue or green and murky. Plus, there would be eerie glowy lights underwater and something to show it's water (an object or person halfway through with ripples and stuff.

But: I can't do interiors very well, and can't really do water. (plus I have a bad feeling about the whole thing.

Soooo, I'm desperate for any sort of help. I need a concept that does not involve too much scenery or architecture. Something clever. I'm kind of feeling guilty, becaues I would feel like I'm being cheap and stealing someone else's idea. But I need help!!

I think I bought nearly every plushie in sight (I would have also gotten the big fat yellow duck plushie ;_; , but two of my friends had to hold me back).

I got a fox hat! It's red and black like the scarf I made! I'm high on asian and anime goodness right now. My friend and I were hyperventilating.

Now I'm not so sure about UARTS anymore... Chicago has a lot more computer and technical stuff, and if I'm thinking about going into game design and computer animation (MAYA), then I should look into Chicago more.

However, I'm not exactly swimming in money, so UARTS may turn out to be my best choice in the end.

What to do!

Then again, I haven't applied to ever school yet, so there's still time. Plus Chicago didn't tell me if they'll offer me any merit or financial money...

Now surrender to the disturbing blinking.

º_º ---> V_V ---> º_º ---> V_V

What's happening:

-Went to dentist (got my first tooth x-ray, all good. I want to keep the pictures! D: ).

-Endless college prep, portfolio needs more "emotion" and not just works that are good quality.

-Buying Okami game-art book soon, hopefully.

-Dressing up as either Samara (The Ring) or the Grudge. Or both.
My hair is good for the role, but I got a long black wig anyway. Now i just need a white nightgown. Maybe I'll use red acrylic paint for an extra touch. Or does that ruin it? Opinions?

P.S: Read like 118 pages of The Hobbit on the plane.

So I'v been swiming in cool ocean water, chasing uncatchable fishies. Because I'm such a lousy swimmer, I panicked when the water got a little bit too wavy (lots of wind) and swallowed a whole bunch of sea water. Yay.... But Turkey was really fun altogether....

I'm coming back on Saturday, so I might upload some new stuff. I took a bunch of pics of mosques, including a ton of panoramas (which I'll post).

It's been good!

I need to pack, but I don't have the will power....

Oh, I went to see Transformers today. Pretty cool graphics and some funny bits (the two main human characters were making out on a transformer in the end! He was a car at that moment, though. -_-). I went with Snow-Chan, Aaren, and Heilos. Check out their cool art.

But I gotta say, Ratatouille (spelling?..) was by far the best movie I'v seen this summer. GO SEE IT. And the short movie, "Lifted", that comes before it is absolutely AMAZING.

I need to go PACK......And when I get home I'll begin reading DEATHLY HOLLOWS!!! And a week later I'll spend two weeks in Turkey to visit my Dad. Yay! So I may be on less, for I'll be visiting many cool mosques and stuff.

So long and goodnight

Just had my last test (chem regents), so now I'll hopefull post more art. I'll post as much as I can (depending on my energy level), and when I return around september, I'll post a whole lot more.

I'm going to Turkey too. So I'll be away for the entire summer. But I'm still logging on to check comments (though I get very few T_T).

'Till next time!

btw, does anyone know how to put images on a journal entry? I went to the FAQ and found a format and put in the URL and everything, but it still did not work..

This summer I hope have an oppourtunity to update my account since I'm first going to a summer program at RISD and then I'm going to Turkey to visit my dad (who is living there for a year). Usually I visit my home country, Israel, but not this summer.

Alright, that's all for today. I'm now going to watch a movie (no one's home, yay!) with a bowl of Life Cinnamon flavored cereal..... mmm..... (jeez, I'm such a freak O_o).
