I haven't uploaded anything since February, all the Fall 08-Spring 09 sketches, and not to mention some new drawings that I did on photoshop during my summer classes! I was finally going to buy a new scanner last week but then I got sick and then my hard drive crashed. I had to spend a good amount while losing all my previous stuff on my old hard drive and I just didn't feel like spending more money at the moment.

It broke my spirit a bit but I hope to get the scanner real soon!

Also check out my new youtube account where I will be posting some video pieces I've done!

So I never really got to scan or take pictures of all the sketches and paintings I did this past semester but I hope to do so in July. I'm actually back in Austin again to take a couple more classes for the Summer. It just started so I can't tell how it'll be but my professors are pretty cool. I already got a sweet looking drawing to show but with no scanner, I can't put it up! In July I'll be getting a new scanner that is compatible with my mac and so you'll be seeing lots of updates but after that I don't know if I'll be any new drawings for a while.

My band will be recording in July again and hopefully we'll have the album finally done. From there on out I don't know what will be happening but I'm all set for anything.

So I decided not to get a new PC, well, at least for now. I just got a new digital camera that is compatible with my mac and I plan to get a new scanner once I'm out for the summer. I'll just have to adapt to using a new painting software which can't be bad and maybe it'll help me learn new things. My only problem is there's still nothing to replace NoteWorthy Composer! So far I'm just recording straight from my guitar to garage band but I miss using music sheets to perform the other instruments.

So I plan to get a new PC sometime later just for that but when I say later I mean much much much later.

I got loads of sketches I've been doing throughout this college year and I hope I get that scanner soon so I can upload them. They are a few I really like. I'm also really anxious to get back to doing new drawings that have nothing to do with my classes.

I guess I'll be updating again when school's out in 3 weeks. See you all till then.

So my old computer finally decided to die on me. It seriously no good anymore but luckily I still have my Mac. What really sucks is that my old scanner and even my digital camera are not compatible with my laptop. I tried getting some updated software if thats even possible but it still doesn't work. Either I'll have to get a new PC or buy a new scanner & digital camera along with new programs. Its tough choice because in my dorm there isn't a lot of room to have both my PC and my laptop. Its also a hassle when taking it home over the holidays BUT I used my PC to do my artwork and many things.

- Despite MSPaint being so simple, I used it for coloring. I can't get a hang of the other programs for coloring.

- Also since even getting my first computer I've always been making music on NoteWorthy Composer which doesn't work with Mac. Garageband and other programs are just not so flexible and easy to make songs note by note like music sheets.

- iMovie is horrible and I liked Windows Movie Maker just to make simple edits. I could buy Final Cut Studio 2 since I'm familiar with that but thats just more money to spend.

- I'm a fan of these home made video games such as Streets of Rage Remake which aren't compatible with Mac and that makes me sad.


But even then its still tempted to just have the Mac around and not have so many things in my dorm but then it requires me to learn everything I know all over again.

Hmm I don't even know why I update a journal I know no one will read....*sniff*

Anyways!

The semester is over and I arrived back home a couple of days ago, still unpacking and trying to adjust. I'll be putting up my artwork from this semester sometime soon when I don't feel lazy. Lately I've been doing requests which I haven't done in years. It's fun being pressured on doing a drawing. No, really its fun! Later on I'm planning on doing artwork for my band. Yeah its still around. Hopefully we get some crap done so I can show some stuff to the public.
