So I am looking at the Siggraph site and the assignment is to pick three artists that I like. and place their links here.

I ended up choosing these 3 because they all had some sort of graffiti aspect. Hayashi's was filled with the vibrant colors. The other two Zhou and Lu took into account the actual word and turning that into art itself.

I get so sick of seeing the same stuff over and over and over again. This person does a drug piece, the person does one on death, this person does one on equality and world peace, another person is working on their Emo feelings. What ever happened to just living, leaving your mark, pushing yourself to the limit. What happened to those artists?

Day one - What did I just get myself into.

As being a part of some in-class assignment,  I have to write answer why I want to be an artist and what plans do I have to when I graduate.   So to avoid being boring I'll make this quick. 

I've been drawing ever since I could remember I could hold a pencil.  I originally wanted to be a Paleontologist, but they made way too little money for all the stuff they have to go through and do.  Since everyone said that I was good at drawing I decided to take the cartooning route.  I loved Saturday morning cartoons.  ex Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Ghost busters, Voltron, etc.  It was then Shopping for underwear for my young brother that I decided that I want to make a character that will be forever immortalized on a child's posterior.  Heck! Pikachu and Scooby made it there and they make Bank!  To tell the truth I really have no idea what I am doing, I just do thing because they seem like a good idea.   I have no plans, just live life day by day and trying a little bit of everything.
