So, I burned a CDR so hot its straight dangerous. Benchmark I Mixtape. 47 songs. 43min. More musical ideas than your whole hard drive. I challenge anyone to do it better, 'cause I wanna hear it.

I stuck all the fly break cycles way back in a corner of my head I nicknamed heaven and it just don't stop. If I wake up tom. and the whole world is burned I'll still have Gil Scott Heron telling the life of the black Bob Dillian in 13 seconds and Dilla covering the Doors while he's dying in the hospital and saying goodbye and I love you to His mother, and you'll just be complaining about the ashes and your insurance coverage.

And just don't stop.

Ever.

Music for life.

So, if I had a daughter She could listen to Estelle, but if She reaches for the Rhinna or Gaga She'll wish She hadn't.

Black Thought is still too ill:

They said he’s busy hold the line please
Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
Who does the blind lead?
Show me a sign please
If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?

End of Semester

Well here it is: the life drawing stuff.

I think I achieved what I came to do. I wanted to understand how it all came together (the human body that it) and I think I do. The puzzle pieces come together and make sense to me now. I really am going to take this stuff and run with it. I knew this all along as I could see the difference when I'd do people in Zack N's International Knights Errant. The people made sense, much like the way building made sense after prez tech. The scientific drawing is great and I fully plan on doing it well. Life Drawing is defiantly a part of this and I appreciated the opportunity.

Sense Life Drawing I relaxed, I stopped fretting about evaluation and really understood that life drawing was something I needed to take for myself and if people didn't understand that it didn't matter, because the skills and knowledge would be with me when I've long forgotten about my G.P.A. This really allowed me to hone in on some of the stuff that's really cool, I consistently had these flashbulb moments that put a smile to my face. Like how there's a circular plate on the front of the skull and that's why there's those weird triangular shapes above the sides of the eyebrows. I wouldn't give up a piece of information like that for anything.

ALSO: BREAKING NEWS! I will be helping South African Hommie Darkblood with his conceptual Endorsed Anarchy webcomic Hadies

Things are def. looking up

March 9 A Day that will live in infamy

Happy Mothers day Mom and congratulations on reading a site edgier than http://www.wheatfoods.org/

The last part of life drawing was about as sweat as Golden Grahams Cereal. I loved drawing skulls, learning about facial features, noses and such. I love noses. Especially cute little ones on women. It even made sense to me pretty quick, without too much constructivist sweating.

I'll get some photos, the drawings are good and I will be posting them soon.

In the meantime you should look at this vector art I did this weekend and make as much noise for the late great Jay Dilla aka Jay Dee.

Well the scanned version of that tutorial will have to wait, my plate is too full to be doing stuff like that.

I wanted to touch on last week in life drawing, we worked on skulls. Skulls are pretty cool and some of the lecture really clicked for me. I realized things about contours of the face that I always kinda wondered about.

I also worked on this new style of contour lines that come together at the beginning to create a sort of gradient shading effect. I also started using color pencils instead of charcoal or graphite and they seam to be working better for me.

Pics coming soon.
