HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

After receiving my new tablet, here's what I came up with :) .Enjoy and be Merry!

Bamboo Arrives

Yay. This morning my Bamboo tablet arrived by FedEx. It's very portable looking and it's a perfect accessory for my laptop. I now own 3 Wacom tablets and I've decided to give one of them to my younger sister as a present. She's already making use of it, in fact she's drawing on her computer right now as I'm writing this, haha. Cute. Below is my rendition of the 'Wild Bamboo Baboon'.


And oh...a big thank to Graffiti and Wacom for the prize! ;) . Now what I need next is a 21" Cintiq tablet, haha.

Graffiti Slideshow

A gallery slide show of my latest digital sketches. Enjoy!

Reconnect

Wow what a gathering. My former mates and I had a get together last Friday. The pic was taken at Boston pizza. Unfortunately four other guys couldn't make it that night but there's still plenty opportunities for that. This was the tight group of friends I really vibe with when it came to art and creating ideas. I just find it interesting and amusing how everybody is being reconnected this year. It's been 10 years since I had some good laughs together with these guys (some of them I met a couple of years after).

2008 is around the corner and I'm so looking forward to it.

Making a difference

Dave Watkins. Wow, haha. I know this guy! From wayyy back at 'Shockstudios'. In fact he's in the picture from my previous postings. I think this news is cool and worthy of noting. I just found out that he received the Governor General's Award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History last month. Big props and congrats Dave. Good for him. The man has 'delivered', haha.

On another awesome note. Wacom sponsored a drawing contest called 'Graffiti Monster Contest' on Facebook and guess who won?? :D hehe. From what I took as my daily digital sketches, turned into something fun ;).

There were 6 categories and the rules were that only one artist can win in any set. A lot of people entered and I think they said over five thousand or ten thousand entries. Yikes. Over 500,000+ voters. 4 of my pieces made it to the top 150. Afterwards the judges then picked the final winners and posted it on the site. When I found the results that two of my entries won..(that meant I was going to receive 2 Wacom tablets?!), haha, it was just too good to be true. And indeed it was :(, Booo, lol. Well they made a mistake with the voting, haha, dang. I'm still getting my prize and it was nice of them to add a direct link to my piece.
Check here and view the gallery page and see the whole story.

Talent and Brains

I've been hearing this song all over the place, 'No One' by Alicia Keyes. My youngest sister has been singing and lovin' that song at home and I think it diggin' it too...big time. Actually I love this song! I had to check out the video on Youtube. Wow, after watching it I've become a bigger fan of hers than ever. Keep it flowin' Miss Keyes.
