Turning in my Senior Paper today. It's on Watchmen and Comics. It's a good paper, I had a lot of fun researching and writing it.

I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with my work. The ODST series is quite fun and adventurous, and the cartoony stuff is always a blast. I'm kind of settling into this rough digital painting style, and the illustrative/cartoony style; I think having two styles is fine, though some might argue otherwise. It's all relative, I suppose.

Graduating soon, then I'll get a graphic design or advertising job, while working on my art on the side. And by a Mac Pro, and run OSX and WINDOWS (7 maybe? My scanner only works with XP, so we'll see). Exciting! Costly, but exciting!

Also, I believe I'm getting the MadCatz wooden replica Fender guitar controller for Xbox this Christmas, which is awesome, as I love (and am really good at) Rock Band. I have a real guitar I should be learning to play, but this beauty is what dreams are made off. Full-sized, to boot.

And to end this journal, I will say that I am totally excited for Ed Edd n' Eddy's Big Picture Show on Cartoon Network this weekend. EEE is by far, my favorite cartoon of all time (as far as cartoons go, not counting other animated shows, you know?) Been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Long live the Eds!

Later, and take care!

AJ

Working on portfolio work, personal work, and stuff for school.

I'll keep posting work as much as I can, I've been hitting a kind of artistic stride lately.

Always learning.

Thanks to everyone for checking out my work. It's much appreciated, as always.

Lots more to post, so keep an eye out over the summer.

Seeing Transformers: ROTF tomorrow. I still think they should've called it "Transformers" so it could be abbreviated "T2"...and they even could've went for the complete win by just calling it "Transformers 2: Judgment Day"...zing!

Stay well all!

Haven't posted anything in a while, so I figured I'd post some work from my winter break. Let me know what you think.

Comments and crits are welcome as always.

Looking forward to 2009.

Also, personal highlight from end of 2008: Made it to number 52 in Rock Band 2 on the guitar leader boards. Currently in the top 200. I'm pretty stoked about it, though I haven't played in a week or two.

Just working and interning - woohoo!

Working on something with a friend, not sure anyone cares, but it'll be pretty cool. He's a great writer, and hopefully I can make pictures that are as good as his words.

More to come! Hang in there! W00T!

On a side note, I am totally excited for Rock Band 2. September for Xbox 360, later for everything else. I have a 360 so that's all I need to know! Super stoked!!!

A friend of mine is throwing a con this October...so if you end up in Ohio around that time...yeah, check it out!

Done with another semester of school. W00t!

Posted some sketches, since I haven't posted anything in a while.

Started working on my second Transformers: Mosaic piece, probably show a preview sometime next week.

Done with school, just been drawing and playing some Rock Band and Halo (new maps!)

Pretty much just working on some Iron Man and Transformers stuff, with random sketches thrown in here and there. Should be posting some more stuff soon.

Thanks to everyone who likes my stuff enough to look at it. I really appreciate it.

Hope everyone has/is having/will have a great holiday season to end 2007. On to 2008!

HALO 3!!!!

That's all.

PS: Check out Biffy Clyro's new album "Puzzle." I got it, and it is absolutely AMAZING! These guys put together an awesome album, and it may well change your life.

That's all.

Again.

Adobe's InDesign CS3 hurts my brain. They changed a lot of stuff I got used to in CS2 for what seems like no reason. We're in GD and trying to do page layouts, and junk just doesn't work right anymore. So I said screw it and went back to my first true love...Illustrator. She's never let me down!

That's all. At least I've figured out how to do everything in InDesign CS3 that I've needed to do so far. More problems are sure to come, I'm sure.

I still have Iron Man sequentials to post, but I'm waiting to get the set of 4 pages done before I post them all.

Also, on a side note, anyone listening to metal, metalcore, that stuff, check out As I Lay Dying's new album, "An Ocean Between Us." I never really liked their older stuff (a few songs here and there), but man, this new one is amazing! I love it.

On that note, rock on everyone.

I'll be posting a few Iron Man sequential pages in August...so, um...keep an eye out!

I'll also be posting more TF work, hopefully some pin-ups. After the Iron Man pages I'm moving on to Ghost Rider pages.

FUN FUN FUN!

Best to all of ya!

Wokring on getting some of my Iron Man work posted, as well as the finished version of the Prime I just posted. When all that is caught up, I'm hoping to post some work from school. Yay...fun.

Also, as a side note. Mirage just released the collected Mike Zulli TMNT. If you want to see and read an interesting take on the TMNT, check it out! Old school TMNT goodness.

Waiting for school to be over. Being an Ad minor sucks big time.

And for any fans out there, check out Andrew WK's relatively new album, only released in Asis so far. Import it now, or get it however you get music. But it is amazing, as is all his work. He should be an inspiration to everyone. He is to me.

Started working on Iron Man vs. Hulkbuster cover; will post as soon as it's ready! Sequentials to follow!

I'll also be posting some of my work from my illustration class. Some of it's not too shabby. I won't bore anyone with my typography work. Unless you rrreeeaaaalllly like letterforms. (Lettrs are cool, but too many can be bad for your health. Yes. That's a fact.)

For all to enjoy! Go forth and be merry! HO HA!

Sorry in advance for such horrible scans (these were the two that scanned the best). I will have better scans up ASAP. A lot of my line work gets destoyed in the scans. Oh well, technology...

Just an overview of what I do artwise:
I've been drawing lots and lots of Transformers lately. That'll be the first work I post here, once I get this last piece I'm working on done. I'm currently in the process of drawing a few Iron Man pages. Just lots of portfolio pieces.

I also love to draw the TMNT, and just about anything Marvel. Ghost Rider is fun to draw, I'll post some sketches and such soon.

I go to school for Graphic Design and Illustration, with a minor in Advertising.

Yup, that sums it up.
