but i still love her...and its over.

I am making new beginnings in my life. I am focusing on my abilities and my children.
I am focusing on making my life better by rebuilding my broken self-esteem, and my talents.

time to start drawing again.

I need your help though.

I currently charge 50.00 for these toons but I'm starting to wonder is that too much for me to charge?

I've seen commissions and the like for considerably less. So should I lower my prices to 35.00 or lower?

to be honest, i don't really give a shit. Life has kicked my ass to a level i have never imagined. But oh well, it happens.

I have been doing a LOT of graphic design, and that is what has been keeping my lights on. I think I lost my will to draw, and draw better and draw more, and I am fine with that right now. When the rest of my shit gets together then maybe I'll pick up a pen and draw again but for now, life goes on.

another year i sit alone, and well. do nothing.

you know what sucks? everyone around me i know is just fine.

My car broke down, I may not have a job by the summer, my so called friends are no where to be seen, and my money is pretty much gone.


But I watched an awesome DVD today!

Resident Evil(biohazard): Degeneration

i LOVED IT. In all honesty this movie is what the RE movies that garbage broad Milla jojavwhatever her face starred in should have been.

By the way is alive, he'ont give a ish about you, but he's alive.

as to being a racist let me first of all say you are an idiot if you think I am racist.
A racist thinks their race is superior to all races. I do not personally believe that we are superior,

just better at some stuff.

seriously,
it already ticks me off because there are no decent or NORMAL characters of color in anime or manga. (Except in ONE and that is Eureka7, who beats every anime ever made with a whopping
THREE black characters who are normal people!!!)
But this is what I don't get.


There are TONS of black folks on here, that draw nothing but white people and non-blacks.

my question is..why?

If any of you feel I am singling you out, that's too bad. While i do indeed respect your craftwork and abilities no doubt, I can't help but question your mindsets.
It's bad enough we are under AND misrepresented in life, but damn if art imitates life.
WE can control our ART.

WE can put positive artistic images out there of US out there. Because you know amerikkka ain't gonna do it, the Natives, aren't goin to do it. Asians aren't going to do it. WE have to do it.

I am not saying all of a sudden you become stuck in OhnoeeeZ1!111 I must draw m00r n3gr0es! mode. Just check your gallery, and check your mind.

I'm alive...again

DSL JUST came to my neighborhood, (thank GOD i didnt' get cable yet) and once their equipment if sully set up I will be first on board!!!

Life has been cruel and my ex wife has been crueler.

I'm worried about my boy Regg

if anyone has his number let me know, I have his OLD number and its disconnected.
Let me know if any of you see him on AIM during the day or something.

]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/10658127/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/10658127/ Wed, 08 Nov 2006 11:56:57 PST so i didn't get DSL.
Let me tell you what happened. The DAY OF the installation, AT&T calls me and says
"Sir DSL is not available in your area. We cannot guarantee youa signal"

I .WAS . HEATED!

so I called Charter immediately, and i swear Charter cable are some THIEVES and BANDITS.
They tell me JUST internet by it's self is 69.99...

WTF?!?

Then they say its significantly cheaper if you get cable TV. So im like had it up to HERE, and i cave in. (i say this because i do not watch TV and don't own one anymore)
So anyway, they come saturday to install.
The cable guy walks in and says,

Him: "Where your cable jack?"
me: "Huh?"
Him: "you don't have any cable jacks. Let me check the building"

my apartment is the ONLY one not wired for cable. And i have to get WRITTEN permission for them to drill. ¬_¬;
On top of that my free trial to AOL ran out (and of course they wont tell you when its running out) and they charged me 25bucks!!!

FOR DIAL UP?!?!?

WTF man!!! DSL is 15.99 a month!(i get the hook up)

so i am pissed cause my bill shave been piling up and im JUST now getting back on top, not to mention I have to buy a TV now, and a new bed.

I haven't drawn anything worth scanning, so hopefully I will be in the mood sometime soon.
But I have been doing more graphic design work than anything. which is a good thing.

Peace.

well my internet at home is down, and i can only check every so often from work. They moved a few of us to a different department and guess who they put RIGHT by the supervisors desk?

yeah me. the OTHER black guy. its funny, corporate racism is so overt you just stare at it like it is a mirage. I swear its like watching Mississippi Burning and you're like "wow..."

"you ever have something happen to you thats so racist you didn't even get mad? you were just in shock? that...why what the that was racist!" ~ Dave Chappelle

There were two black guys me and another guy who is 50 yrs old. Our old supervisor always calls this older guy beligerent.(because he states his opinion and questions things that don't make sense) But we are both comic book fans so they really don't like it when we talk. (You know how it is when we 3 or more of us gather just to talk they think its some kind of black people's rebellion meeting.)

ANYWAY, long story short they moved me. they moved Rick and i to EXACT and i mean EXACT opposite ends of the floor. If i was any further to my end i would be on the other side of the window of the 12th floor. I then noticed that ALL the black people on the floor are at extreme places...


Life is cruel with its twists and turns,
as every one of us so must learn.


Fear not, I will return...every so often.

okay, not all weird but i guess they are unknown facts.

1. I am left handed. - i can do NOTHING with my right hand. I look like Stephen hawkings if I try to write with my right hand.

2. I am uber skinny. - i can't gain weight no matter how I try. I don't donate blood because i need all the weight i got.

3. I am a singer - although i didn't start singing seriously till 10th grade, i didn't realize i could till i was told I could. now i can't shut up. I have a bass to alto range. Some folks say I sound like Johnny Gill.

4. I can interpret dreams - it's a gift I didn't realize I had until anothe rspiritual person pointe dit out to me and just flat out asked me. I cameinto full understanding when i started to realize that every dream i had (that had a meaning) i was able to discern what it meant the moment i wake up.

5. i stopped sketching with a pencil about 2 years ago - i dont know why but for some reason I draw more solid with a pen than i do with pencil, unless i am finalizing some lines.

6. I can live off of Chicken Fried Rice, fruit, and Cinnamon Life cereal...forever

7. I have had one book published. - it was awful. I had some characters called Fatal Beauties. My pencils were atrocious because i didnt know you drew on 11x17 pages and i was used to drawing on 8.5x 11 so i had hella stuff crammed onto each page with negative space EVERYWHERE. on top of that the people who inked it RUINED it by inking with broad sharpies. i almost cried.

8. My voice does not match my face. - depending on my mood you will either get the "business professional" or "Quiet Storm Radio Voice"

9. i am the oldest of 9 brothers and sisters, and the only one without the indian traits in their hair.


10. I eat beans and rice - and not the kind you think. not the kind fro Popeyes chicken. I eat pork N beans and rice, and I eat Ranch Style Beans and rice too


I wanna know some weird things about:

anyway i took my kids to see Chicken Little.

this movie is just as bad as Home on the Range was.

it just SUCKED.

you KNOW a movie for kids is bad when the kids leave the theater and never mention the movie again.
with Incredibles my kids were quoting and skating like frozone, with Finding Nemo they were sayin just keep swimming and inking themselves...

with Chicken Little they were like..."hey dad lets go eat"


on yeah Kiriban for 8888 ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6911051/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6911051/ Sun, 30 Oct 2005 21:56:26 PST

and no i havent forgot about my I love the 80s contest, but apparently everyone else did. or didnt care to do anything for it T__T

maybe i need to up the ante. this is starting to get like my quest for a colorist....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

now on the the WTF?
I was talking to my boy about this chick who we knew from his messageboard, and from here on dA.
I ask about her cause i havent seen her online in a while and she hasnt been responding to my notes and stuff, and he proceeds to tell me that she said that I was "trying to hit on her/stalking her"

What in The F*CK?

1. i'm married.
2. you don't live no where NEAR me!
3. you cute, but you aint THAT damn cute.

I'm trying SO hard not to call this broad out of her name for saying some asinine bullshit like that.
I been sittin here like wondering whats up with this chick and why she straight stopped talking to me, I was thinking I said something that offended her...and SHE is on some bullshit.

some broad are on some shyt now adays i tell you... ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6861596/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6861596/ Tue, 25 Oct 2005 06:15:40 PDT ***ARTIST SPOTLIGHT***

every so often I do an artist spotlight. To give some shine to someone who may go unoticed on dA amidst the billions of generic anime artists.
Today i want to spotlight

for her beautiful ethnic 3d modeling.

I have to say in the realm of 3d rendering very VERY seldom do you actually see people of color in the designs, and done well.
Well this sister has it down. From facial detail to urban Fashion.
So pass her links along, submit a daily deviation if you want, just make sure you hit her page up!!!

tell her ~dmario sent you!

oh CRAP, i missed my 8,000th page hit.

no kiriban's for ANY OF YOU... ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6765882/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6765882/ Fri, 14 Oct 2005 11:42:35 PDT [link]ostcount=39

i can NOT BELIEVE this kid thinks this is okay?!!!

stupid muthafucka...I want to go off on this message board but they are a bunch of bitchmade kids, not a DAMN thing like the board used to be.
this board was once a GREAT place for artists and the like to gather and have fun and now its just over run with stupid ass kids....and stupid 20'somethings.

i fucking HATE what has happened to Polykarbon. i was oe of the old school regulars and i came back to it and THIS is what it has degraded to. If you remember i had a battle in a previous journal with these idiots.

I think im going to delete my account there...wait...then THEY win.

no... I will stick around and be that "nigga you love to hate" ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6685014/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6685014/ Wed, 05 Oct 2005 08:28:29 PDT [link]

1. A coworker sees you and several black colleagues at a casual lunch. Back at the office he/she later asks, "What was that meeting all about?"

2. You arrive at work on time as usual. Your boss, making her rounds, peeks in and remarks with surprise, "Oh, you're here!"

3. A colleague says with a broad smile, "You know, I really like you. When I see you, I don't see color. I don't think of you as black."

4. After a staff meeting, your boss suggests, "you need to work at making others more comfortable with you...why don't you smile more often?"

5. You tell your manager about a problem you are having and the response you get is "You've got to be exaggerating! I find that hard to believe."

6. You are told you are "rough around the edges" despite your completion of many professional development programs and it is suggested you emulate the behavior of a non-person of color colleague.

7. You continually get more responsibility, but no authority.

8. You are being recognized at a company banquet. As you approach the stage to receive your company's highest achievement award, your corporations' top executive exclaims, "Yo homeboy, congratulations".

9. You arrive at an offsite business retreat dressed in business casual attire. Your non-persons of color peers approach and ask why you are always so dressed up?

10. You are told you are decreasing your effectiveness with your aggressive style.

11. You are frequently asked why you change your hairstyle so often.

12. Your first name is arbitrarily shortened to one or two syllables without your permission.

13. You are asked every summer if black people tan.

14. After a coworker returns from a weekend in the sun, they run to you on Monday morning and extend their arms to touch yours and say, "Hey, I'm darker than you".

15. Walking through the hall with colleagues, you exchange greetings with two other blacks you pass along the way. Your colleague says in amazement, "My you know so many people."

16. You are told your attitude is affecting others. You are asked to..."lighten up, not be so serious about the work. Smile and laugh more often, to make others more comfortable working with you".

17. You realize that at times you must "dumb down" appearing to be dependent and unaware, so that your manager and peers feel they are helping you...

18. You have to perform at 250% just to stay even.

19. You have to document everything. You've learned the hard way.

20. You assumed that all that was required of you was to work hard and get the job done.


yeah, 90% of these I experience at my job and every other job I have had except one that was black owned. ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6554004/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6554004/ Tue, 20 Sep 2005 11:13:13 PDT [link]age=1&p=20


am I wrong? I hate when non-blacks try to tell me what racism is when they are the ones who have never experienced it.


I mean seriously. I done been through some HELL and these kids on here and today wanna talk about things like its all hunky dory.

Racism has taken a new form. its called HOLLYWOOD. its called the MEDIA. The media AND hollywood spew racism constantly and people accept it because its the MEDIA.

The japanese have a ULTRA SKEWED view of how black people are...because of the MEDIA.

Africans now have a f*cked up view of how america is because of the MEDIA. I blame BET.

White people...well, they have a fugged up view period but not all of them and its NOT entirely their fault.
(i have white friends d: )

it enrages me when i hear kids today talk like what my parents have been through, what my parents parents have been through doesnt exist.

it does. its more beaurocratic now an dmore covert, than just outward, but its there....right in FRONT of your face.


F**K YOU MTV ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6470243/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/6470243/ Sat, 10 Sep 2005 18:20:47 PDT

i have a WHOLE LOT OF Projects i need to finish, first one is for this guy Christopher, which I promised to do months ago before i got ill.



I want to spot light a very special woman:

----- -----

i had glanced at her art a few times in the past and was like Oh cool she can draw a little bit. But i just viewed her main website and I was floored by her artistic skills.
Not that this is impossible, but to find black women who do this THIS well is VERY hard. and I want to send a special shout out to her to keep doin the damn thing and CONGRATULATIONS on being accepted into Joe Kuberts School in Jersey, and tell you to BUY HER PRINTS!



OH yeah, you MUST UPGRADE to Photoshop CS2...it will PWN j00r 4$$!!!!!



I got a piece im working on of Vanilla, so keep your eyes peeled for that. I'm also goign to be practicing using OC cause well, Im tired of asking people to color my work, and then i never hear from them again.

WHY WON't ANYONE COLOR MY WORK??!?!?

*sigh*

it REALLY frustrates me, because i KNOW i dont draw bad, its not like im some 6th grader drawing on lined paper with a Big Cheif brand pencil.

I have a lot of sketches yeah, but i also have some good defined work.

*cry*

NEway, im out, be back next week to update. ]]> ~dmario http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/5407159/ http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/5407159/ Thu, 19 May 2005 21:58:09 PDT but not feeling so creative.

what if Black folks, Asians, Natives and Latinos all worked together?
We ALL are a creative people in this country. Can you imagine what this country, this WORLD would be like if we banded together in the U.S.? there would be NOTHING we could not achieve.

We live in a country run by people who brought us here or took the land, and they don't want US here?

What kind of sense does that make? I say we take over. But not in an insurrection. I say we EDUCATE each other, I say we expose each other, I say we LEARN from each other.

I can honestly say that I love my asian brothers and sisters, my latino brothers and sisters, and of course my native family as my own.
Why do we have to be divided?

http://dmario.deviantart.com/journal/5026125/ Thu, 07 Apr 2005 14:30:21 PDT I give decent feed back, i'm a decent guy. I'm cool with pretty much everyone on them.
SO why is it when I post MY art, i get no replies?
It pisses me off to no end when i do that, I'm not loking for validation, (or am i?) Im
wanting critiques, FEED BACK, I get nothing.

Artxilla - I rejoined this board to only NOW want to leave for the same reason as before. NO FEED BACK.
I mean its like you have to be the "cool" artist for people to post.

Arson - i stopped posting art there because no one ever replied to it, even though I replied to everyone elses
stuff. eventually i just stopped posting to the board all together.

Polykarbon - i dont draw anime so I didn't fit in with the kids and their line paper drawings

PencilJack - im not a "cool guy" I dont draw whats popular, I freaking hate ninja turtles, so im
an outcast. I stay in the Break Room because every time I post art i get 1 maybe TWO feed backs if
that.

Norrath Studios - my favorite colorist Julie just disappeared. i am very worried about her,
but when she disappeared so did I.

with all that, why won't anyone color my stuff?
am I not really all that good to post to?
What do I need to do to my art to make it grab a colorists eye?
Why do i have to beg to get my stuff colored?
it just befuddles me...
anyway on to the announcments!
