And I'm a senior. I'll be graduating in May 2009.

I doubt I'll come back on here. I just wanted to see what I used to do. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

Maybe if I get into photomanips again. We'll see.

Ta ta.

So yea, my classes. Basic Graphic Design is alright. Basic Type Design is pretty interesting. Computers in the Studio is kinda easy, cuz right now we're learning about the programs I already know, but I'm learning other things as well. Literature and Writing is pretty simple, I just read and write essays, and the professor's pretty leniant and helpful. 3D Graphic Design is awesome cuz it's different, we do 3D projects with our hands, and the professor's pretty cool. Visual Literecy is kinda boring, but at least it's only one semester. Graphic Drawing sofar is alright, a bit annoying, though. Yea, most of my classes are like 2 credit classes, so that's why I gotta take alot of classes this year. Oh well.

And I was thinking of what kind of graphic design I would wanna do. I'll probably pick either poster design, book design, or maybe flash. I dunno, that's what I think now, but we'll see later on =]

Later. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/9224775/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/9224775/ Thu, 29 Jun 2006 19:16:24 PDT
That, plus I'll be in Greece from July 19th to August 19th.

I'm also searching for a scholarship or two cuz of how retarded TAP is =/

That is all. Posted more work, check em out =] ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/8799105/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/8799105/ Wed, 17 May 2006 14:43:58 PDT
I'm working on two more posters in Illustrator and I just finished my last Illustration Style project. Looks so awesome, I can't wait to get it back!!! And I handed in my final project for my independant study course. And I'm done in Intro to GD because my project was accepted into our school's End of the Year Student Art Gallary.

Soon I shall be graduating from Kingsborough, have my summer break, and then I'll go to SVA in September

Stay tuned for more projects to be put up! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/7780191/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/7780191/ Thu, 02 Feb 2006 11:36:12 PST
So whether I get good financial aid, grants, a scholarship, or having to get loans, I've made my decision.

My winter classes are going okay. I made this poster in Design with Type, but it came out crappy (although my professor thinks it's good). This is what happens when I don't know Adobe Illustrator yet...lol. But now we're all designing a deck of cards. When I'm done with that project, I'll post it on here before I hand it in cuz god knows when I'm gonna get it back. Probably during spring.

Till next time... ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/7186948/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/7186948/ Tue, 06 Dec 2005 14:08:03 PST
As this semester comes to a close, I just wanna say that I enjoyed my art classes (even the English class as well) this semester. The art classes I took were Illustration, Experimental Typography, Adobe Photoshop, and Painting. This winter I'm taking Design with Type (yes another Typography class, plus English 2 ad well) and this spring I'm taking Illustration Style, Adobe Illustrator, Introduction to Graphic Design and Advertising, and Independant Study: Problems in Studio Arts (and I'm also taking Short Fiction). And after that, I'm graduating from Kingsborough and I'm off to...wherever.

Yea, official schools I'm applying to transfer: School of Visual Arts, Pratt Institute, City Tech, FIT, and and Brooklyn College. I'm also in question of a couple of others, but I'll see where it'll all lead me cuz I gotta go to this transfer meeting on December 6th. Hopefully it'll all be clear with me soon.

So anyway, check out my new stuff. Look at my scraps as well, I put a few things in there. And stay tuned for a few more mounted projects and my paintings! Later! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/5903944/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/5903944/ Mon, 11 Jul 2005 11:57:44 PDT
Also this fall, I'm gonna start applying to art schools, so it's a good thing I'm taking alot of art classes this semester.

Anyways, I'm out. Later. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/5739240/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/5739240/ Thu, 23 Jun 2005 22:38:23 PDT
Starting fall semester, I'm planning on applying to various art/design colleges since I'm pretty much getting my associate degree from Kingsborough. I'll send em out after I get my scores from the fall semester. I want to get more good grades before I did that cuz my grades for spring weren't that thrilling. Plus I'll have more better works for my portfolio interviews.

But for now, I shall relax and take it easy during the summer ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/5384220/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/5384220/ Tue, 17 May 2005 15:41:47 PDT
Meh, life is boring. Later. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4729877/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4729877/ Fri, 04 Mar 2005 18:43:01 PST
So stay tuned! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4380027/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4380027/ Fri, 21 Jan 2005 19:38:28 PST

Don't forget to sign the guestbook!

Oh yea, and in "Art", there's a link to my animated art page. I have animated icons in there (I'm a beginner at those), so check those out as well!

Hope you like it! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4347677/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4347677/ Mon, 17 Jan 2005 22:55:47 PST
I would like to do more things in Photoshop/Imageready. Right now I dunno what to draw on paper, so maybe change it up a bit. All I know how to do right now in Photoshop is some photomanipulation. Any suggestions on trying something new? Drop a reply!

Also, drop a reply if ya got feedback. I would love it so I'll know what's a good thing to work on. At least something to let me work on while on my break.

If interested, my un-finished site is at [link] There will be a link on my profile when it's done. I'll probably continue working on my site soon, hopefully tomorrow.

Btw, posted a few pics in my scraps.

Later. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4014601/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/4014601/ Tue, 07 Dec 2004 20:31:26 PST
I did three photomanipulations sofar. One was me looking in the mirror and my reflection's a different color and I made myself a redhead, but that part wasn't really working. So I decided to take another pic and make my hair red, and that was the pic of me in pigtails. Also I added a red background (should've been darker) and voila! I did the same with blue as well. I'm really getting into photoshop again!

Well, I dunno what's next. Drawing at home, another photomanipulation, dunno. I am, though, gonna post my final design project, which was making a logo. I'm actually finished with it, so maybe I'll take a pic of it tomorrow or Thursday. I've been using my mom's cam too much, so I dunno

Anyways, I'll update on the info as soon as I can. I'm pretty much done with my first semester. Well, almost. I'll be free (unless I get magically employed) until March. Later. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3981991/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3981991/ Fri, 03 Dec 2004 17:55:04 PST
Next term I'm taking two design classes. They aren't official yet cuz I only went through advisement, but I'll hopefully be taking publication design and computer art. My alternatives are experimental typography and digital art illustration. Yea, my advisor suggested that I'd start taking computer art classes. My "by hand" art/design classes I still need to take are illustration, illustration style, and designing with type (I think, I took a peek of that class before, and they were doing stuff by hand).

Anyways, gotta run! Later! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3800982/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3800982/ Wed, 10 Nov 2004 11:47:46 PST
I soooo wanna take painting next term. I also wanna take design with type, that class looks interesting, or maybe illustration. I dunno, whenever I pick my classes for spring semester, I'll let ya know. I'm thinking of trying two liberal arts classes, two required art classes, and one art elective. Hmm, we'll see. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3526961/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3526961/ Wed, 06 Oct 2004 13:33:27 PDT
I don't just draw with pencil now (both colored and regular), but I also draw with charcoal and oil pastels. Probably soon I'm gonna have to draw with ink. You'll see.

Hope you enjoy my art. Gimme feedbadk, if you'd like, cuz I need to draw at least eight more drawings!!!! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3265692/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3265692/ Wed, 01 Sep 2004 19:10:53 PDT
Yea, it's September, and I start college in seven days. Hopefully I'll survive. ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3224521/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/3224521/ Fri, 27 Aug 2004 13:08:06 PDT ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/2952582/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/2952582/ Fri, 23 Jul 2004 20:29:14 PDT
I have also used a little binder that I used as a portfolio. I have a folder, where I put my artwork, and I have looseleaf paper, listing my artwork. I also made code labels. How these work is that I put it in perenthases, stating what kind of artwork it is and what number it is. Examples: (PNCL4) - Pencil drawing, fourth one, (WTR1) - Watercolor painting, first one (those are all I have for now). On the back on the lefthand corner of the pieces of art, I label em. I keep the artwork in stacks in their order in the folder.

Well, now I'm fresh out of ideas. Anyone have any suggestions? Please reply if you do! Thanks! ]]> ~grkbeat85 http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/2828860/ http://grkbeat85.deviantart.com/journal/2828860/ Wed, 07 Jul 2004 20:56:34 PDT ~grkbeat85
