I'm not sure about a lot of things in my life right now.
For those of you that still visit, thanks for everything.
For those of you that still care, thanks even more.
Time to move on in my life. Time for a change of scenery.
Things I thought would love me forever have left me.
And the love I thought I'd have changed once alone.
I'll miss you. And I'll miss all of you here as well.

Peace, fellow travelers. Keep on floating.

Mood: back spasms!

Whaddup, lads and lasses.
No point. Just a journal. Keeps me occupied.

WHAT MOCHI HAS BEEN LISTENING TO LATELY
Rasputina- Cabin Fever, Thanks for the Ether
Azure Ray- Hold on Love (Shiva bless you for suggesting them, Ross.)
Black Eyed Peas- Monkey Business (I love Pump It.)
The Pillows- mostly FLCL OSTs, but I've got all their stuff, so all of it, really..
Sneaker Pimps- Bloodsport
Flogging Molly- Drunken Lullabys
The Buddha Bar Collection (all 14 CDs)

WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING LATELY
Harvey Birdman episodes
Full Metal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala (Very good stuff, IMHO.)
Transporter 2 (BLEHCK!)
Freakazoid episodes

WHAT I'VE BEEN READING LATELY
Dictionary of Ancient Dieties (Yes. I read dictionaries. SHUT.)
Planetary
100 Bullets
DMZ
Shaolin Cowboy

Tra la la la laaa.. I'll be at SDCC this summer, so if anyone wants to have their leg dry-humped, just let me know and we can work something out. Satellite Soda represent. It'll be one crazy ass time. Hopefully there will be no arrests (especially after someone takes the bet and pimp-slaps Rob Liefield). I know a lot of my fellow Sodyites are going to be there, but what aboot the rest of you? anyone else planning on SDCC? Buy tickets now! Sleep in your cars! Or, better yet, stay with the Soda crew! We'll let anyone share our hotel rooms, just as long as you pay us in alcohol or sex-toys... or girly giggles.

I should take up cosplaying. I'd make a great Gaara. But there's that whole eyebrow-less thing.. *shrug*

Time to draw! Take a tip from Becky Cloonan, fools.
MONEY - COMICS - RESPECT @ ( 3 )@ puuu

Mood: full of fish n rice
Listening to: Cake- Sheep Go To Heaven

I'm not feeling alright today -- I'm not feeling that great
I'm not catching on fire today -- Love has started to fade
I'm not going to smile today -- I'm not gonna laugh
You're out living it up today -- I've got dues to pay

When the grave digger puts on the foreceps -- The stonemason does all the work
The barber can give you a haircut -- The carpenter can take you out to lunch
Now, I just want to play on my panpipes -- I just want to drink me some wine
As soon as you're born, you start dying -- So you might as well have a good time

Sheep go to Heaven -- Goats go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven -- Goats go to Hell

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip -- I don't wanna feel the emptyness
Old marquees with stupid band names -- I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip
(repeat once)

The grave digger puts on the foreceps -- The stonemason does all the work
The barber can give you a haircut -- The carpenter can take you out to lunch
Now, I just want to play on my panpipes -- I just want to drink me some wine
As soon as you're born, you start dying -- So you might as well have a good time

Sheep go to Heaven -- Goats go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven -- Goats go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven -- Goats go to Hell...

I cooked a nice dinner for my father, my friend Brandon, and myself tonight after work. Carribean lemon tilapia and long grain wild rice. A simple marinade, but at least I can cook more than steamed ice or grilled cheese sandwiches. Besides, grrls love a guy that can cook. At least, that's what I've heard..

Anyhoo, hi everyone. I'm in one of those floaty, ethereal, neutral moods right now. Not really happy, but not at all depressed. A very placid 50%, which is neither a half-empty nor half-full cup. At least I'm not all moody and depressed, though, right? I should really get a blog or something. I'm sure none of you like reading my ramblings.. heh heh

Peace folks. Live fast, die young, never update your galleries. (LOL @ hypocrasy)

Watching: Sinbad from Dreamworks

Another month and another year have both come and gone, so here's my update, for those that still visit my little nook on DeviantArt. Goings on and happenings are few, but significant. Thanks to everyone who I still keep in contact with, and a shining hello to all those that I have either lost contact with or have lost contact with me, for one reason or another.

Art is up, but spirits are down.
Posting is down, and will more than likely stay that way.
A-Young is gone, and it's my task now to follow.
Art is still sitting in the to-do stack and I'm not getting any younger.

Hope you all had a good New Years and whatever religious winter holiday you may or may not have celebrated. I got a coffeemaker. hehe

To all those reading, thanks for dropping by and taking a look. Things are not at their most pleasant right now, but I'm a somewhat confident and overly-hopefully individual, so things will soon change. Peace all, and fare thee well.

On another note. I need a personal webpage. How much are some of you paying per year??

EDIT: I BRING TO YOU PIE! PIE FOR 2006! The PDF is nothing but pie recipes. Don't say I never did anything for ya, bitches.
PIE PIE PIE PIE PIE

Mood: Kahlua Vanilla Frapp
Listening to: Sneaker Pimps, some Franz Ferd stuff
Watching: Shanghai Knights, FF:Advent Childen

I have done crazy thing.
What thing, you ask?
This thing! LOOK!
*turns off brain*

I have requested fewer hours at silly, pointless, part-time job in order to produce more artwork, effectively giving me an extra day at home each week (from 30 hrs to 20 hrs). Less money from the horrible and cow-blood-covered job and more time making with the art and getting paid through more productive and worthwhile means. Like Ravenna. Glorious Ravenna. Let's all thank Philippe Jacquot for giving me a chance at such marvelous things!

Hopefully, my brain will implode AFTER it realizes what I've done. It has remained in the dark on such matters so far, and will remain there until art is done and the holiday season is over. Don't none of you go tellin' my brain! My feet are good for kicks and groin-pain!

Finally saw Advent Children as well. Yay horrible storylines and orgasm-inducing, mind-boggling animated fight scenes. Things like that make me cream my jeans. heh ew.

I go now. Isolation yields art. Must be better. Must be like peers. Must improve. Must finish things. Art art art art. Ari is my motivator. You should poke me into working ALL the time. I will sleep when I'm dead.

Listening to: UHP - Ring of Fire

I burnt the front half (not just the tip) of my tongue while drinking some unexpectadly still-boiling-hot ceylon tea the other day. It was good tea, but not worth the searing pain.

Ravenna is going along slowly, I must mention, since work and sleep cuts into drawing time, and I haven't been bit by the inspiration bug in a couple of days. I never like updating with pictures, anyways.. bleh. I'm liking DA less and less as time goes by. The internet altogether, for that matter, but mostly just DA. Not like I'll do anything about it or do anything differently, like, oh hey, UPDATING, maybe, but.. y'know. bleh.

A couple good sketches/to-be-finished for Isla Rongari nonesense as well, including some character ideas from a superhero comic I'd love to do someday. Kinda like Marvel mutants, except I can't call them "mutants". heh Yah. Fun stuff, but it'll prolly never see the light of the screen, as, like mentioned, I loathe updating.

Seeing all my peers and their constant worky work work makes me inspired and depressed at the same time, since I'm prone to stalls and infrequencies. bleh. This will change, because I want to be better. I WILL be better.

Just writing to write, really. Thanks for dropping by.

How do you full-time comic artists do it? How do you manage to tear yourselves free of menial real-world jobs to persue the victorious and fullfilling life of an artistic gypsy?! Doing comics full time is something that I'm struggling to get myself to right now, but it's just so damn hard!

Yah, so I got signed to do a supernatural horror/thriller comic being produced in France, but I have no time to do it! If I'm not sleeping, I'm at work in the meat department, cutting up beasts and wrapping them up tight. As soon as I get home, most days, I'm dead tired, with no will to do anything but nap and vegitate.

So , how do you do it? How did you gain your freedom and where do you find the time?

Reading: Scott Pilgrim vol.1
Watching: OldBoy

I am a faithful comic addict. I choose my dealers wisely and always buy more than I need and can afford. I just spent over $60 on comics today, and I am quite pleased with myself..

- SCOTT SKULLHUMPING PILGRIM vol.1 - One of the niftiest damn things I've read in a while.
- Runaways Vol.3
- Zatanna iss.2 and 3. Issue 1 on order.
- Authority: Revolution iss.9, 10, and 11. YEEHAW! So stinkin' sweet. Only one more ish!
- Alan Moore's Courtyard. I need some more spooky stuff for Ravenna reference, plus, it's all Lovecrafty and full of tentacle monster demons.
- Courtney Crumrin Tales: Portrait of a Warlock as a Young Man - Always loved Naifeh's work and always will.
- Brit vol.1, 2, and 3 - Old superheroes punching the everliving crap out of stuff? Sign me up. Pretty good, but I still like his Invincible work more.
- Books of Magic vol.1: Life During Wartime - Woooo! Timothy Hunter rocks.

My only regret is that the shop was sold out of PENG!. Damnations. I knew I should have jetted down there the day of. Oh, well. It's on order along with Zatanna iss.1, so life is good. Demo Collection should be out next month, and the new Spiderman: The Other thing going on looks cool as well.
All in all, this is mostly a journal in response to good ol' Ross Campbell... hehe I don't know comics, eh? Bleh to you! Who wants to remember the name of the guy who did Fathom, anyways! It sucked! Pretty colors and nothing more! Boo to you, Mr. Zombie Comciker Ross! BOOOOO!! hehehehehehe

My computer is working again, although we've had to reformat and then there was the lack of internet for 2 days, and finally the mysterious burning smell coming from the harddrives... But all is good and well now. Oh, and I lost the driver for my Intous2, and had to locate that again. Blehh..

There is a sketchdump over at SS of some stuff I've had lying around, some of which I might just be finishing..

Also, I've been working dilgently on the character designs for secret project of doom, but no word on when I will be allowed to post them. It's all up to the publisher, but spoilers are our friends, no??

I hope everyone has had a nice week. I'm looking forward to a long trip up to Northern Utah tomorrow and all the drawing I can stand in the process. I think I shall declare a second sketch dump once I return. Hopefully with some decent stuff.

Mood: painier than normal
Reading: Books of Magick: Life During Wartime vol.1
Watching: The Cell

Labor Day, for me, is good for only one thing: double time pay.

The bulk of today was spent either recovering from a long day out yesterday and moving straight into a long day of cleaning floors, chopping beasts, and waiting on very indecisive customers. Furious amounts of scrubbing, mopping, and re-scrubbing were done and not enjoyed in the slightest.

However, on a lighter note, and whilst knocking on wood at the same time, I've landed my first professional comic job with a French publisher. No leaking information, though, so I'm afraid all I can say is that if you enjoy suspenseful thrillers, arcane rituals, evil and fallen goddesses, identical twins, Italian fashion designers, and murder mystery dinner theatre, then you'll like some of my future and hopefully more common updates (hopefully, once more, beginning tomorrow, when I send my first batch of character designs to the writter).

All is well and good over here, thouuuu-OH SWEET SHIVA IN A SOCKDRAWER!! *back spazms and convulses, sending me to the floor in agony* GAHH! The pain! I'm willing to convert to whichever religion will heal the constant and ever-fluxuating pain in my spine! Voodoo! Buddhism! Judaism! Christianity! Scientology, even! . . No, wait. They'd expect that. It's too easy..

Time for a good sleep to rest my back. I've got the day off tomorrow, so I'll see what I can't do about updating my bleedin' gallery with some of the character concepts and other stuff I have floating around. I've been drawing more lately, inspired by my peers, but my laziness in the past has yeilded little more than a stack of unfinished sketches. hehe

End long journal . . . now!

Well, I don't enjoy depression, so I do what I can to get myself out of it as quickly as possible. Yes, I've been lazy and I loathe my own art. Should I get over it? Hells yeah. Yes, people died in New Orleans and that bridge stampede in Iraq. Should I be depressed over it? Hells no. It's sad and all, but nothing to get personally depressed over. Time to focus on art. Becky Cloonan's daily schedule she posted some time ago personally motivates me to get out of bed early in the morning, even when I don't have to, just to squeeze in a few extra hours of art each day. Thanks to all that inspire and influence me, and thanks to all that I inspire and influence as well.

Back to art now.

Mood: blah

I have been highly inactive as of late. I have been ignoring friends, both tangible and digital, for no reason in particular. I don't do anything productive with my free time. I haven't been drawing, I haven't been sketching, I haven't been online much, even.
I know not the true source of my habitual laziness. I do know, though, that I dislike my own style to the point where I'm nearly afriad to pick up a pencil, for fear of drawing something that I hate. Something ugly and unfinished.

Maybe this weekend's Voodoo Re-Jam will lift my spirits, but I'm depressed right now and can't seem to cheer myself up. Maybe it's the truth hitting me in the face. Maybe it's my own delusions. Maybe it's the fact that I can't afford the computer I need, the schooling I want, and the life I desire. Maybe it is the truth of things, but maybe I just fear failure...

I apologize for not having this up sooner, like when I first found out about it all from Erik, but Voodoo Jam will have to be rescheduled. His parents decided, out of nowhere, on Firday night, to cancel their gong out of town until next Saturday. We have no place to hold it until next Saturday.

I'm as upset as you all are, and I apologize again. I've been basically unconscious for the last 2 days because of Loritabs and pain meds for my wisdom teeth, and haven't had the strength to do anything whatsoever. Apologies again, folks.

So, I totally started my first day at Wild Oats (a health-food-oriented supermarket) in the meat and seafood department. I am now he who cuts up dead beasts with sharp and pointy things.

I smell like raw fish, ground beef, and chicken blood. *sniff sniff*

It's not the most presitgeous of jobs, but it gets me off my ass and it's a hell of a lot better than overtime at Discover Card. Bleh to them! I'm happy now, even though I am broke and without a car.

I'm saving up money for school, SDCC 06, a friggen sweet Vespa. Because I must join the ranks of those on scooters. I'd totally join a scooter gang too. It'd be awesome...

While gathering references for 's Fruit Chara collab (I get to draw pomegranate), I came across the idea of going out and actually buying some poms to eat, dissect, reference, etc. Sadly, they are a Autumn/Winter fruit and not yet in season, so I was left SOL.

Thankfully, though, I remembered POM Wonderful.

Sooo delicous, so strong, so full of antioxidiants. Soooo expensive. ($7 for the big bottles.) Oh well.

This one's for you, Cone! *sips*

Quitting a job happily and without any snags is excellent, especially with a one month backlog on paychecks. (ie. I'm getting paid to do nothing, for the next month, because they didn't pay any of us during training. $2000 for sitting on my ass for the month of June? I'll take some of that, thank you very much!)

Getting your car booted, twice, with a threat to tow, while at the place of one's internship is not excellent. Especially when proof of permit has been presented to said parking nazi ass-hat, yet he likes to sit on his little throne and lord over his accomplishment. Ah, well, at least the $80 of mine he now has compares little to the karmic whoopin' he'll get down the road. People like him die cold and alone, with no-one to mourn them, and this makes for pleasant Mochi. (Mean as that may sound...)

So, to summarize: I quit my job at Discover, got my car booted for $80, and had a pleasantly upsetting day. Ah well.. No matter! I haven't felt this free all fucking year. Rejoice with me!!

EVERYBODY! COMMENCE THE WIGGLING!!

Mood: tired and sore

I have slowly and happily been watching my pagehits drop day by day. It's down to 87/day right now, which makes me a happy Mochi. I don't deserve as many pagehits as I have, and I certainly don't deserve any when I'm not updating. I need to spend less time working and sleeping and more time drawing, but my job just tires me out something fierce. Insomnia seems to be temporarily purged from my system to make way for lots of screaming mid-back pain.

This month's Juxtapoz issue was a let down.
The Demon Days CD was a let down as well, but I'll still end up buying it.
Work has become an utter annoyance. I wake up every day dreading the next X number of hours. The money hasn't become worth it, but nothing else pays me money to sit on my ass at the present time. If I had more time to draw, I'd get paid to do it, but I can't quit my job, because I'd have no money in the meantime. It's a vicious cycle.

Went in to CueMedia Productions (a multimedia studio downtown) today on the suggestions of good friends Mike and Eric and got an intern job working on a short animated film (Not exactly Sundance quality, methinks, but maybe some inde-ani festivals). Supposedly, there's an investor looking at the studio that wants to invest in some stuff; the cliche eccentric millionare type. If he likes the way things are, which I'd think he would knowing how impressed I was about it all, he's dropping an ass-load of money into the studio for funding of a film. If such things are to happen, they'll be hiring on their interns as full-time employees. This means I'd be getting paid to animate.

And here I thought I'd have to leave Utah to find such work. I need to move downtown. Driving so far every single day is taking a BIG toll on my wallet. Plus, I could always just walk to the studio, then drive to my normal job (speaking of which, I don't know how longer I'll be there, if all of this plays like it should).

Well, that's all. I've got some layouts and camera pans to sketch out before I go to sleep. And fmoth's re-gift for Travis must be inked. Inking first. Wait, I can take the inking with me. Maybe. *shrugs*

Anyhoo, wish me luck, folks.

I suppose it was just a matter of time. People are naturally creatures of compulsion, and I am no different.

I have a raging, monkey-like desire to clean out my DA gallery and scraps to start anew. Hell, other people do it every once in a while, some even more frequent. I look back through it all and get a little sick. I don't like my old work because I don't progress quickly as an artist. I've been drawing for my entire life and I'm only now getting to a level where I think I'm half as decent as the professionals I admire. The only way to move forward is to learn from the past but not to dwell on it. Onward, for great justice.

Prepare for imminent purging of all bladder contents.

I lost my wallet in a parking lot yesterday. $20 cash, driver's license, SScard, and a bus/trax pass, plus many collected business cards and such. I hate it when this happens. I'll be surprised if I ever find it again. Well, I suppose I can get a new wallet now, even though I have to buy a new license. At least I didn't have a whole lot of money in it. I need to open a checking account and break out my old ATM card.

If you're reading this, I'm probably downtown at the Saviors of Kamigawa prerelease or teaching my lady how to play. I built her a weenie Black/Green recursion using my old cards...

WANT PROOF?? HERE YA GOOOO.
DON'T BUY ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK.
It may taste good.
It may be bigger than the small cans.
It may be less expensive sometimes.
But it's pure evil.
And not that the drink is evil, but the man that OWNS the drink is.

Michael Savage, far right-wing conservative grande-rim-job-supreme, along with his son, own Rockstar Energy Drink (distributed by Coca Cola). This man is a racist, homophobe, and all around idiot facist, stretched to the extreme. He believes all gays should die of AIDS. If he had it his way, all immigrants would be deported and the US borders closed. He thinks women should have been denied the right to vote. This hate-mongering lunatic should be booted off the air.

I encourage you to spread the word.
I no longer drink Rockstars. As much as I may WANT to...
It's all about the ethics behind things sometimes.
WANT PROOF?? HERE YA GOOOO.

Want to know an EXCELLENT energy drink to try and fall in love with? Socko. It's bright green and tastes like kiwis. No funky fore or after-taste and it's the same size. It's usually a little cheaper as well. Besides, it's not evil and grants a +2 Dex for 10 rounds.

Ryan signed my copy with glee and we talked a little. He's nifty and showed me the pens he inks with. I needs me some Fabre-something somethings... I Sakura Microns aren't up to snuff. Also, hanging out with Lothar and Brandon was nifty.

Vegged at a gaming shop afterwards, saw more friends, and read comics. Woo. I feel hella inspired. Art ahoy!!

Are my colors really bland and dull?
I never really thought about it, but I think he's right.

I'm rediculously bull-headed. I'm open-minded, for sure, but I stick to what I believe in with a sometimes moronic conviction. I'm also very competitive. If I'm not doing the best I can do, I'm upset with myself. Also, if I'm not doing better than all those around me, I'm upset not only at myself, but at them as well, for surpassing me. Now, I'm normally a very friendly person, but this can come across as a rude, agressive, rash, and harsh nature to some people, especially those with personalities that I directly clash with. Having so many friends in the art profession now makes me very irritable around them, because I'm constantly trying to prove myself to them (and myself). I hate to admit it, but this includes basically everyone that reads this that knows they're a better artist than myself... I know where I stand, and I know I can improve. It's the motivation that I'm lacking.

Now, my moon lies in a Scorpio rising. I'm extremely passionate about things, which does not help when you mix a primary Aries into a secondary Scorpio. My love for my friends truly has no bounds. I find myself incapable of hating even those that have done the most harm or have treated others (myself included) the worst. The hatred is driven by Aries' aggressiveness, but the passion of Scorpio fuels and overcomes it.

Damn, I'm rambling for no reason. I wonder why I type things like this... Anyhoo, Ari, if you can read this, I miss you right now and feel all lumpy. You're sleeping right now, so there's nothing I can do about it. Meh.

Respond if you want to, folks. I dig astrology (Chinese/Roman), numerology, and chakras... Discuss.

First off, KungFu Hustle far surpassed my expectations. Oh, such ass-kicking did it do. *Buddhist Palm strikes anyone who says differently*

Secondly, I'd personally like to CONDEMN TO HELL whoever got me hopelessly addicted to the manga Death Note. It's like a hyper-intelligent version of Law&Order (or some other crime drama) only with supernatural psychic killings and a floaty death god who giggles too much. I'm addicted, simple as that. I simply don't have time to read all the chapters right now, so I'm only up to ch20. Gooooood fiiiiish...

Also, the new mini-contest at the SS Forums is up! Woo! In honor of the new Star Wars movie (aka the death of an empire), we're throwing a "DESIGN YOUR OWN SITH" contest! Nifty, huh!?
