ARCHIDISIAC

Lunch time doodles. Totally stole these trees. Deal with it.

Ok I promised myself I would update AT LEAST once through the ridiculousness that is moving. I am currently moving.....AGAIN. Our landlords are a complete waste of a life. So next week I will be packing and moving to a one bedroom apt with no roommates. I think it's about time. I've had roommates since freshman year of college...six consecutive years of various roommates. Oof, yea definitely time.

This is sort of a compilation of my impressions of Paris, Rome, Prague and Barcelona. Man do I miss Europe.

Messed up the railing. Damn.

Work is busy these days.

Okay, doubling efforts to draw complete drawings from now on...

Charging Birthday Rhino in Party Hat for a friend.

Taking a new bus these days...it's one of those extra long ones that have the accordion joint in the middle so the back end sways around. Fun to sit in but generally makes drawing very difficult. During the daytime its all young professional. Late at night though, as I found out after an extended gym session...kind of full of crazies. Great. Anyways, did these on the ride to and back from home.

Lunchtime doods.

Work is driving me INSANE, the company managing our apt is driving me INSANE, my parents are driving me INSANE...I suspect that I am going INSANE. The only thing not driving me insane may be my rock. Thanks.

Feelin' inspired today...probably because I haven't drawn in about a week and a half due to the move and other events.  Did this during my lunch break today...it was intended to be a building, then became a tree, and then became this.  Mmmmm...feels good to put some graphite on paper again. :)

Lunchtime doods. Boom.

Apologies for not updating, we are getting ready for the big move from one apartment to another this week so I will be MIA for a while until everything gets settled. On top of that we have a couple deadlines at work. Combined with some freelance and late nights, it seems increasingly difficult to find time to post. Perhaps I should hire a personal (read HOT) secretary. :)

Anyways, I've been working on a friend's site. Chuck is one talented individual. The site is up and running save for a few tweaks, check it out at: www.chuckliuphotography.com

So ciao for now and I'll be back next week!

Did these while skype-ing with peeps. :) There are so many things I am good at and yet so many that I am not so good at.  Oof.

The jolly green giant of our office. :) Feeling overwhelmed these days but I suppose more work is better than no work. Huzzah!

Haven't updated in a while due to the holiday weekend and all. Uffa.

Another entry to the same blog as mentioned yesterday.

I started this a long time ago...some time in January and kind of left it blocked out. I think I had seen something that reminded me of Pinocchio at the time or something hence the whale...or it started out as a whale. Anyways, dug it up today...the paper got all dented. :( Drew whatever came to mind.

Some quick stuff during lunch.  Cold out today.

Must go to bed. Uff. Working off some old photos I took in Rome. Drew this because I was lacking inspiration...? Whatevs.

Happy Father's Day

New blog layout...hopefully it's a little more legible.

Haven't drawn in a while...sometimes I find other projects that interest me more and drawing kind of fades to the background...then I feel guilty. Right now it's learning Chinese. Last time it was learning Flash. The time before that it was learning to wave and glide. And the time before that it was studying for LEED. Problem is I never quite finish any real projects, I just start them and often lose interest/forget/get bored/frustrated etc. In any case, I always come back to drawing because I always find that I miss it.

So about learning Chinese...I've been trying to memorize and use new vocabulary AND read and write the characters. The funny thing about it is that I just visualize how they look graphically which is probably not how I should be learning. It's like memorizing little pictures which means I'm not really associating them with verbal meanings/sounds. I suppose it's because I've always been a visual person. I figure with time it'll all work out...or I'll quit. Hopefully not the latter.

We saw greyhounds in Market Square during lunch today. Beautiful creatures, they have such funny proportions.

More random work in progress...

Randoms.

Still testing...I'll be posting a little less frequently due to some outside projects. I will, however, continue to do quick rough sketches and post as often as I can! :)

Downtown Pittsburgh from Station Square.

Ah yes, and for anyone who is interested in what I am working on lately here is a link to the building I am helping to design.
