I would love to hear your opinions. As for my other projects. I will continue to focus on my thesis/story. It just needs to get done. Just the writing though. The images can always come later.

What I would love to ask is...how do you all stay focus? how do you all keep you drive pumping?

Peace.

Now something that was a bit more mature....District 9. Wow. A great film and a great perspective on making a movie. I loved the entire documentary style of the film. It didn't distract nor was it gimmicky. The story itself was superb and intriguing. I sure hope they make another one.

that's it for tonight...peace!

Monday I start officially as a supervisor at the bookstore where I work. I has been quite an experience already and I'm ready for the most dreaded and busiest time of the year...first day of school. We get a couple 100 students come in an out every hour during this time. Lets see what kind of craziness is in store for me. Which reminds me...I need to get some gels for my feet.

I'm still in the middle of a redesign of my website. Should be up in a couple of weeks I'm hoping. On another topic. My family got me a new intuos 4 tablet and a drafting table for my birthday. Oh man they are sweet. Plan to use those till they are worn out.

One day two angels came down from heaven to test mankind's compassion and generosity by disguising themselves as ragged, dirty beggars. They chose to go to a wealthy family's house. The house was enormous. Had to have at least twenty rooms and the scent of wonderfully cooked food could be smelt coming from the chimney. One of the Angles said to the other..."This family has been blessed greatly. They shouldn't hesitate to help some one less fortunate than themselves."...or so they thought. When they knocked on the rich family's door they couldn't have been meet with so much disgust. The family held their noses high to quaff the angle's stench and told them they had no room or time to take care of two beggars. But the angels kept asking. They asked until the rich man threatened to kill them unless they left his property. With that the angles left.

They were about to return to heaven to report what they had found when they caught site of a very shabby and poor house not too far from them. It was very broken and worn down with time. The paint was chipped and the windows cracked, but yet a light still shone from within. "Maybe we might find some compassion and generosity here?" said on of the angels. They then knocked on the door and were greeted by a gentlemen and his wife. They were more than generous to the two angels, who they thought were beggars. They didn't have much food themselves but gave them all that they could. They even gave them water to clean their wounds and some better clothing. The angles were stuffed and soon clean. The couple even put them up for the night and they all slept comfortably in the little broken house.

Next morning the angles thanked them for the meal, the clothing, and the beds. Then left on their way. They had not left more than a moment when the wife screamed a terrible scream. Her husband rushed to her side when he noticed...their cow had died. Their only source of milk, and money was now gone. They held each other close and wept for their loss.

Now i know what your thinking..WTF. These people help these angles from hevean and they get a dead cow? Well...yeah, but here is what the couple didn't know.

When the couple laid asleep the angles decided complete their mission. They decided to punish the rich family, that had met them with so much disgust. Now the rich family held their treasures in a basement. All their jewels, gems, gold and everything they held valuable laid there. The Angles sealed it off. Sealed it deep in the earth, never to be found by them or anyone else ever again. They were about to bless the poor family when the devil came to the door.

"Why are you here Lucifer?" They demanded. Cowering he responded.

"I am here to kill the woman, to bring great pain and sorrow to this house!" The angels whispered among themselves. They then turned towards the devil.

"If you wish to kill something then kill the cow, but you will not bring harm to the woman." And the devil did so.



You know... a lot of shit happens in our lives. And there are times when we think why? Why did this have to happen? Isn't our life rough enough that we also need this? But as humans what we see is but a pinhole compared to the entire scope of things. Things happen for a reason. The good and the bad. We must continue to take them all in stride and continue to push on.

Peace

As for money...the dream is to sell art but for now I can deal with my partime job, and maybe finding one that pays a bit more. Also making sure I don't have to worry about bringing it home.

(i've also been in contact with a local game company and might be able to get my hands dirty with some concept art...we'll just have to wait and see)

Oh and I recently purchased Fable's covers by james jean. For those of you looking for a copy don't waste your time going to amazon. Vendors are trying to charge over a hundred dollars for the book. Which I think is well worth it, but if you want a more affordable and still great quality book head to amazon.uk. and get if for 30 bucks...which includes the shipping.

On a side note. I have noticed I have a handful of unfinished digital drawings. I will get these done hopefully before my internship.

I thank God for my family and friends cause they have been with me through this dark chapter of my life. I am also thankful for you all here at deviantart. All those that have commented, faved, and given words of encouragement. It is because of you all that my artistic flame has not extinguished. I will not let you down and continue to create art that will excite and inspire you all. For once I am happy for what I have instead of worrying about what I don't have or why I don't have it.

Of all times on the calendar this is the perfect time to evaluate one's life. See what is really important and not give into despair. Rejoice!! For who knows what the future holds.

For those that are looking desperately for work and stressing out, (like I've been) maybe it's time to step back a bit from the application process , step back from writing cover letter after cover letter, submitting resume after resume. Stop yourself from destroying yourself and take a breather. Take a day off from yourself and enjoy what makes you happy in life. Dedicate the entire day to it, and you will find out all the worries in the world melt away, and you will be able to better deal with what may come in the future.

Peace my friends and God bless.

I have not been very productive in the art department but I'm still sketching ideas away and hope to have a halloween painting done by the end of the week or at least a well rendered drawing.

Besides the internship I'm hosting a Halloween party for my family. Did one three years ago and desperately needed to do one again. Food, games, candy, and some beer. The games are probably the hardest but most creative things I've done. Riddle scavenger hunt is the main game I'm working on right now. Not too sure what to be this year...probably just wear an old costume I used a while back...the guy from jeepers creepers...

Well..Happy Halloween!!!! Go scare up some candy!

The poster I did for my other client went superbly well. They loved it to pieces and personally I can't wait to see it in print. Once the dates have been finalized I will post it online.

I am still working on my own website, but it is going slowly. Mostly because I am still arguing with myself as to how I should best present myself. I will keep you posted.

Even though I am going to be fairly busy I will still take commissions but only two per month now. Just contact me at eugeferrer85@hotmail.com

Here are the prices for commission prints:

8.5 X 11 B&W: 25 dollars
8.5 X 11 color: 35 dollars
11X17 B&W: 50
11 X 17 color: 75

originals price:

B&W & color 100-200 dollars

The price does not include shipping and handling. And all commissions will be shipped in a mailing tube to decrease damage.

First I didn't get my internship, which was kind of a downer but I still have my freelance job and the guy is digging my stuff so far.

I have usurped a storage shed no one is using and turning it into a studio which should be awesome. There is a lot of work involved since I plan on expanding it to make it a bit larger. Who cares if it looks like a shack as long as if functions well.

I am making a comic with some buddies of mine. This is separate from my thesis and it should be a lot of fun. The work is getting it published.

Fishing. nuf said.

I also got a DS for graduation and have been kind of addicted to an old childhood game...pokemon. Can anyone suggest any good ds games out there?

Also I have been working on my website and should have something up in two weeks. as far as domain name i was thinking on the lines of eugeniusdesign or ferrersunited (aka fu.com) or maybe just III.com. We'll just wait and see.

Also if you are interested in design or commission work just e-mail me at

For those curious. I am now a graduate of Texas State University with a bachelors of fine art in both Communication Design and Studio Art with an emphasis in painting. I couldn't just choose one cause I love what both fields offer.

I am doing freelance work now. Working on a poster for a store that is about to open. Even so I am up for commission work. Both in design and in Fine art. Here are prices for design work.

Logos, $500
Posters $500-$1000
Book Cover Design, $800
Advertisements: $1000

If this seems much I am willing to consider bartering.

As far as fine art illustrations and paintings. This all depends on what the commission is. If you need an illustration for a book cover or something of that nature I need to talk to you personally about that. Right now I can tell you that a small painting (18 X 24) will cost about 300 and a large painting (30X36) will be 600. I do prefer to do prints. You don't have to wait for them to dry and they can come in any size you want. If you do want a commission, or have any questions, feel free to contact me at.

eugeferrer85@hotmail.com


Again thank you all!!!


P.s. A website is in the works. I'll keep you all posted.

APRIL 14TH, FROM 5-7 P.M at the Texas State University Mitte Art Building. It will be showcasing my painting thesis as well as 14 other art students. Ranging from sculpture, painting, art education and so on. There will be food and music so it should be fun. Come out if you can.

My thesis has been on a hush hush basis so no one has really had a great look at it except a select few. *It will be about 8 different oil paintings focusing on a single strange story. I will post them only after the show has gone up.

*It will now only be five peices. The other three paintings aren't completely finished but more importantly they are not completely dry. Your having so much fun that you forget that oil takes a while to dry.


** Okay six peices are in the show. Wah Hoo!!! I'm excited. My college painting career is almost over and a bit of stress is gone. Ahhh the future seems bliss. Some news. I went to an interview for an ad agency for internship. It went failry well. They responded well to my stuff especially my paintings. I hope I get it. It seems like a very laid back place but I'm sure to do some great work.

A side note: the paintings will be posted at the end of the week. If you want to see them now you got to go to the show.

My thesis has been on a hush hush basis so no one has really had a great look at it except a select few. *It will be about 8 different oil paintings focusing on a single strange story. I will post them only after the show has gone up.

*It will now only be five peices. The other three paintings aren't completely finished but more importantly they are not completely dry. Your having so much fun that you forget that oil takes a while to dry.
