Please don't be famous

Hey! I'm Nick, I'm 23 and I just found out I like making art, and I have no concrete style yet!

I never really did it seriously through out my life, and I sporadically did it to amuse my self. All of a sudden two years ago I took an Intro to drawing class at my college and I found out doodling pokemon in middle school was actual training!
It's two years later now and I decided I'd actually start trying my hand at art.

So if you want to see how a clueless artist learns how to catch up for lost time, enjoy my tumblr.

Took some new photos! All you need is a CD, a pipette, the color wheel light from the flashlight phone apps, and so much science.

If you guys wanna try this your self with your dslr, I recommend using the settings I suggested in my christmas lights post, but with a lower fstop so the colors from the flashlight app soak in better. 

Fun with Christmas lights!

First shot: Simple long exposure shot. Low ISO, aperture at 10 to 20, shutter open around 10 secs - 30 or just use the bulb setting. 

Second: Nothing special but I noticed you get light balls when you go out of focus and lower the aperture to the lowest number on the camera. The rest of the photos will be out of focus. 

Third and fourth: Try zooming out when the shutter’s open and engage trippy mode.

Then just experiment with all the settings and take a billion shots.

Tada you made a wall paper! 

Hey guys so it’s been like a week since I got the new dslr camera, and I instantly had to buy a tripod cause I was inspired to do some night time photography. After messing with a couple of filters on a phone app called Pixler-o-matic for a few of these and reading the manual for like, ever, I managed to score something decent.

Okay they’re total crap, but I had fun doing these anyways. Photography is not easy. 

Please don’t be famous is no more.

I hated that name, but I figured I’d keep changing it if I decided to re do it even just once. So I decided to make it easier on my self and keep it semi consistent by just calling my self what I call my dogs which is some arbitrary and always changing variation of “Ba-______”. 

Ie My Badangos, My Bajombies, My Batatoes, etc.

I like this name a lot. Alright!

My recent drawing ^. Carbon on canson paper. I no u leik dat butt.

An artist finds out he needs prescripted glasses. What a surprise there…
On the for reals, life in HD is so UNF-tastic. I almost rear ended the car in front of me on the way home from four eyes because I drove by a well kept cemetery and I was mesmerized.

lol I dont know what happened, but you can live your life pretending that there are people that dont like you.. and thats totally okay. i do it and it doesnt matter whether or not I know. What matters is that I keep living my life being myself.

I need an Intervention

I honestly can’t stop asking my self philosophical/ethical questions (on tumblr) about every poopy ordeal I go through. What gets me is how much time I’ve wasted replaying that moment an infinite number of times in my head, and with out fail I end up thinking:

Why couldn’t I figure out how to play out that extremely possible quantum-theory-like outcome where the coolest version of my self decides to interrupt that horrible moment and proceeds to tell everyone to look under their seats, and for some damn reason there is a basket with the most adorable collection of animal babies sleeping together… and they just woke up. Everyone loses their shit.

It’d be nice to be pro at life 24/7 I guess.

Today I took a fat crap on Moon’s gross pad thai by making my own, which was not only surprisingly edible, but better according to my entire family.

Sorry art I QUIT. I make dem scrumptious ass pad thai’s nah.

Quick post to break the silence

The Bad:
  • Laptop crashed. 
  • Lost all of my digitally backed up art, all my adobe programs, and everything else I hustled for free.
  • I cried inside, and almost outside.
  • The series is taking over my life and I can’t post any of the work I do till it’s ready. So …yay.

TL;DR Currently on a major art reboot for a while. The only lucky break that’s come my way is that I posted a picture of the photoshop file on tumblr which I thought I lost completely, so I managed to salvage at least one thing. Phew.

I guess when you lose everything you have to start over with out looking back, like if everything you owned exploded but you’re so damn cool you don’t give a fuck. 

Check it out! Some progress on the Legend of Zelda fan art I’ve been working on on the side. I swore I would resist the urge to show you guys anything else about the piece until it was absolutely finished, buuuuuutttt… Butts.
Disclaimers: it’s just the sketch layer of a panel of panels, Link was dragged from another panel, and I guess you say can we’re seeing the discovery of my drawing style as I mess around with it. Monumental!
