New Combination

Thanks to all for the get well messages! My Doctor recommended this new powerful combination of drugs to help get me through this "Superflu." Along with plenty of fluids and rest I should be okay in a week or two. My best goes to all those heading for Utah this weekend. I wish I could be up there with you in the powder! This image proves I am still alive and fighting--If you look at my eyes, you can see my thousand-mile stare as the Nyquil quickly kicks in! Good night everyone!

Going Nowhere

Playa del Rey, CA - Here I am. Where I have been for the last 5 days, lying in bed trying to recover. My body hurts and my head is so clogged that I can barely hear anything. I thought that I might be able to go outside for a while and get some fresh air, but I am slowly discovering that won't happen this weekend. I opened a window up here to remove the stale, sickly air in my place. This image is from my laptop camera documenting my misery.

Fully Infected

Playa del Rey, CA - I have officially become one of the infected. This latest flu virus that is sweeping the nation feels different. There are moments where I feel normal, and then within an hour I feel completely destroyed. This will be the first time that I will be missing work three days in a row, which hasn't happened in almost 10 years. Let's hope that I don't make it to four, because I am tired of sleeping and bored out of my skull at home. This image is of the tools I am using to recover quickly from within my quarantine.

Update: This week has been horrible. I have not been this sick for a very long time. Hope to be back to normal next week.

Ryan's Workshop @ Concept Design Academy

Pasadena, CA - Here are some shots from the Ryan Meinerding workshop at Concept Design Academy this past weekend. Ryan worked with us briefly at Sony during our tour of duty on God of War 2. Just when we got him laughing at our jokes, he had to go become famous and make jaw-dropping artwork for movies! Saturday's workshop was no exception, as he gave us an analysis of how character costumes are used in film, an introduction to his process and a cool demo to wrap it all up. It was a highly inspirational workshop and it was good to see him again.

Older Than Before

Special thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday yesterday! I have more photos to load up, but blogger is being hella lame right now and won't load them.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Blog Neglect

Los Angeles CA - Ever feel like the events of everyday life begin to overtake you? Lately I have been feeling a step or three behind myself, and I have realized my blog updates have suffered most. In case you didn't know, I run two blogs--"Potato Wedges," which is my personal blog, and the other (linked below) is my professional art blog--both of which have had minimal updates as of late. My blogs are a way for me to keep in touch with distant friends and family, as well as others who might be reading. But I realized if something doesn't change often enough, people stop looking--so this entry is my way of saying updates of daily life and artistic creation are coming. Slowly life is becoming more manageable as I have finally hit the gym again to get in shape for my wedding and I am creating art in the background to discuss and share. Thanks to everyone who is still paying attention! Now..BLOG ON!
