I keep switching between different sites and trying different styles, methods of posting and ideas to try and see what I'm the most interested in right now.<br /><br />Deviantart has been my favorite for art so far, and I like Facebook better than emailing socially. I like them both better because I feel like there is more open community, and I have more people on both because I've had them longer and spent more time building them.<br />I just started a tumblr 2ish weeks ago, and so far I think it is a neat gadget, not so good for staying in contact with people verbally but good to just quickly observe what's going on in a lot of different areas of interest and quickly post some small doodles (nothing really super detailed) and share what's been going on visually in my life and brain.<br />Blogspot has been my least favorite so far, I feel like it is too 'formal' for my sense because I need a structured layout, and feel pressured that each post absolutely must be something interesting or extremely captivating, instead of just little snippets. I first thought this strange because I don't tend to be a chatterbox and I'd rather say something only if it must be said. However I realized that having this mentality was really keeping me shut out of the world and became an art hermit just off doing my own thing and not engaging with others. Maintaining blogspot I think could really payoff, I can image myself using it for my graphic novel idea updates, small comic series, concept art dumps, to-do lists/mini journals, or events.<br /><br />I am definitely a person who works on multiple things at once, and have to find a way to balance everything out so that I can accomplish many goals around the same time and move to the next level. It can be hard managing things myself though, rather setting my own goals and keeping a tight schedule. It's also weird to think about because when I first seriously started using the internet when I was about 12 or 13, I was really curious and got involved with tons of websites and online communities when it was still 'slightly underground' so I was in a sense ahead of the curve about what the online communities were up to. I also figured out how to use digital medias a lot on my own, and used them as an extension of my previous abilities instead of using them as a crutch. Then I somehow fell behind, not as involved as I was before and now I have to regain my curiousness and learn more about how things are done currently. I guess the lesson of all this is to never forget being truly curious and following what my emotions tell me I want to learn and not do something because I think it needs to be done.<br /><br />I almost forgot, this couldn't be a complete journal without another shameless plug v_v<br /><a href="http://parietaleclipse.deviantart.com/">Parietaleclipse on deviantART</a><br /><a href="http://agentmosley.tumblr.com/">agentmosley on tumblr</a>Mollified!http://www.blogger.com/profile/16456551294731571267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442749641547675134.post-87197478173677721322012-01-30T16:25:00.000-08:002012-01-30T16:43:43.933-08:00self-discoverywhat january is almost over??<br /><br />I haven't posted since december which seems so long ago, and I know I haven't been posting consistently. I've been getting myself pretty busy lately, which is good. I needed some time to take a mental break and sort certain things out in my life, which has happened and now my mind is a lot more clear and ready to get back into things.<br /><br />I've rediscovered how much I love to learn. I've always been extremely curious, but for some time in the past I wasn't pursuing my interests as much as I used to. I stopped reading voraciously, running and exercising wasn't as fun as it used to be, and even with my drawing was more of a defense mechanism and habit than a true hobby or way of learning. I go to the library about twice a week and browse or check a few out. Currently I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which I've always wanted to. I'm running at least 3 miles four times a week and enjoying it, I even went swimming yesterday. I started a new sketchbook and am REALLY enjoying using it. It's like my own little observational journal, where I stalk people on the bus or draw my face for practice or doodle from my mind or books I like. I had the same sketchbook for 2 years which was a really terrible time in my life where I couldn't draw shit and wasn't enjoying it very much.<br /><br />Basically what I'm trying to say is that I've been rediscovering myself. I do things because I'm curious or because I like to. There's no point in doing something just because you're told to or because it's expected of you. I've remembered how bold I used to be a very long time ago, and who I always was but wasn't expressing. I'm relearning not to apologize for who I am and what interests me. It's a really great feeling.<br />-<br /><br />I've been making schedules for myself to be productive and manage all the things I want to do. DO ALL THE THINGS! haha really I learn so much everyday and want to do even more, it's madness.<br /><br />I'm stockpiling tons of work right now and slowly posting to various places, so I'm getting pretty psyched about it and hope you will too.<br /><br />I decided that each of my accounts/websites should have a purpose, to make things more interesting and easier for me (and hopefully y'all) to navigate or follow.<br /><br /><a href="parietaleclipse.deviantart.com">deviantart</a> = pretty much all art I do, or at least a large chunk of it if it's a multi-piece/large project.<br /><a href="http://agentmosley.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> = sketchbook entries, photos, observations, very small pieces of writing (like quotes of rhetorical questions), and random doodles that probably have to do with fandoms or things I like<br />blogspot = my larger pieces of writing, mainly for self-use like a journal, school projects, multi-piece/large projects<br />facebook = how to get in touch with me socially I guess, I post random pieces of work there but not really anything worth documentingMollified!http://www.blogger.com/profile/16456551294731571267noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442749641547675134.post-66324373729648062122011-12-01T11:36:00.001-08:002011-12-01T11:46:00.850-08:00Album cover for school<div>First assignment for my Raster Graphics class (Photoshop). We had to create a digital album cover and tracklist for a real band. The lyrics page is extra because I had some extra time (and it's only song 1 and 5 because the album only just came out and they aren't available online). It actually isn't due until this Monday. Once again I had a lot of fun exploiting <a href="http://cgtextures.com/">cgtextures.com</a> for my photos. It is a class assignment so it is unofficial. I am not selling these or anything so that's why the band's photo is being used.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8xYsSwWBsA6I-Xfnbzgj0cSTSS3Q90CkWDPTo3CIt-dJe5M4B0WL4x7UQmMljkrDxqJGegmxbrUxD3O18M0oErEXGexHL8PGtwVE5d7PdYhwjOrNwzTixU75S__Qjzs2G4wutyCv_1aO/s1600/seapony1.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Hundreds of people from school came but also the public and even associates of Nintendo showed up. There were raffles and snacks throughout the night as well as live music, which was pretty cool because the band played a lot of the game music (like Termina Field from OoT or the theme song). The building was completely packed shoulder to shoulder, I could hardly move an inch and look at the artwork the first hour I was there! Around 9:45 it started to clear out enough so I was able to walk around and spend some time looking at each piece clearly.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXR18rRB0SrX_QTWA8tlYV_cnD88nOERWuwS-JZn7b0QJi-FSGs06jAISQc7IC9rd0bh4CdNzzhQGa2IOwax1Jg_cnVnbd6iDpMX_0-vYY3H1a0RE_PNxVt26FnIDGfBruAyQY2Xvek8_/s1600/zelda3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXR18rRB0SrX_QTWA8tlYV_cnD88nOERWuwS-JZn7b0QJi-FSGs06jAISQc7IC9rd0bh4CdNzzhQGa2IOwax1Jg_cnVnbd6iDpMX_0-vYY3H1a0RE_PNxVt26FnIDGfBruAyQY2Xvek8_/s400/zelda3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676984260374737762" border="0" /></a><br />It took me a while to decided what I wanted to do a piece about considering how many awesome things there are about the Zelda games. I knew for sure I was going to do something from Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, but I didn't know what exactly. I decided to stick to old school Zelda and honor the Gameboy Color revamp of the original Link's Awakening game. That game's ending was so emotional and I remember loving it every time I played through it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvAHzav-JlSJxFR38SQskAtgxBtWHQZuDF6ipgkogJ0Rc4H2l209FhpV-1lUm8zcQgb5DM2gDGmhPlWuLvT_q9mAk2qKr3w3_sRlXaAa5ynMZceRDJKgj6kFebUOLx8mz0LXopgRh7T4X9/s1600/zelda1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvAHzav-JlSJxFR38SQskAtgxBtWHQZuDF6ipgkogJ0Rc4H2l209FhpV-1lUm8zcQgb5DM2gDGmhPlWuLvT_q9mAk2qKr3w3_sRlXaAa5ynMZceRDJKgj6kFebUOLx8mz0LXopgRh7T4X9/s400/zelda1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676979405917815762" border="0" /></a><br />This is a gouache painting on illustration board that I cut out and the school mounted on the wall.

I keep finding myself smiling and thinking happy. I've been freeing myself of things that, well, have been holding me down. Everything seems to be unfolding just the way I've always wanted it.<br /><br />Next week I start my third class at Platt! Typography, I think? First class was Digital Production 101, learned InDesign and some vector stuff on Illustrator. Almost done with Oral Communication 105 aka 'speech class'. It really opened me up, as I'm normally so shy! The professor's enthusiasm and encouragement was really inspiring to me.<br /><br />I promise I'll post things soon! Most likely old work from last year, some self portraits and some teasers for the graphic novel I'm finally working on. I'm doing my CalArts application since they opened up beginning of October, so after I get through the paperwork part I will post the portfolio. A lot of it will be life drawings from Otis 10-11, so there's no point posting it now and again later. :)<br /><br />I found a <a href="http://www.adultswim.com/music/ghostlyswim/index.html">really cool playlist</a> on Adult Swim's music section! I never have been a huge follower of their network, not that I don't enjoy certain things about it.

<br />First art submission, yeah! One of my favorite assignments from this past year at Otis. Done mostly in December 2010 for my Principles of Design class with Kiki.
<br />Goal: to analyze the form of a natural object.
<br />-chosen object: succulent/cactus plant.
<br />Requirements: 1 realistically rendered graphite drawing. 1 gouache painting (b&w) using a single repeating shape to describe form. 1 gouache painting in either Aboriginal, Baroque, or Nouveau in b&w with tiniest hint of 1 color. 1 gouache painting of object with geometric shapes in b&w with hints of two complimentary colors.

Wow. I always have the best of intentions to get personal projects like this up and running, but life gets in the way. But that's okay! I've had a pretty awesome year. Last time I posted, I spoke of high school and APs and the 80 moves I went through.
<br />
<br />That summer I spent most of my time prepping for college, getting rid of unnecessary personal belongings, a few freelance projects and self-employment (cleaning houses, babysitting etc), and finally moving up to Los Angeles at the end of August. I studied at Otis College of Art & Design for a year. Foundation year was oh so very helpful, in more than one way. I learned a lot about art and education, but also about myself and people, which was something I needed. However, a good education is not cheap, so I will not be returning this upcoming year. Not that I can't afford the tuition (thank you very much FAFSA government money!!) but the cost of housing is the straw that breaks the bank account. I will be studying this year at Platt College in San Diego, which is very conveniently close to my family's apartment (by the way I had spent my winter break moving AGAIN). I had originally intended to go to CalArts for character animation this year, but there was a mail issue and basically my portfolio was lost in transit despite the application, letters of rec, transcripts etc. No worries, will apply again as soon as possible.
<br />
<br />Looking forward to hopefully another productive and joyful year!!

There are still boxes all over the place, but we're living now. School will be over soon, in June! How about that. 12 years of mandatory education will be over! I actually like school for the most part, yes, how geeky, but it's true. I'm a believer of taking the best out of any situation and many kids don't seem to appreciate what school has to offer....yes, I know the school system sucks but it still has a lot of opportunities and potential blah blah. And speaking of education, I'm in the middle of Advanced Placement testing week (APs)....aka hell for many students! I'm in four this year, two are completed and two more to go. When I'm not studying all night and doing homework, I'm attempting eating and sleeping; things I haven't been doing much of for the past three months.<br /><br />Ohh man I'm really looking forward to the beach and the pool and friends and taking walks and sleeping this summer!!Mollified!http://www.blogger.com/profile/16456551294731571267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442749641547675134.post-3258567224695364752010-03-02T20:49:00.001-08:002010-03-03T19:22:11.466-08:00Moving commotion<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheU_5dkPUbcZOZz6q1mV3WR9-zWOUbkWozxcHTUvVgtYlodncCf1ftlFiI4e_prYg9H3pJ2cA895ZJQ-i8HaMiQpNuK_TWdimkEqOS6dAVALZ_6yRUo8-kQeQya0UMvXZaE9JLxoKqh7Vs/s1600-h/bear+scene.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444613491662759650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheU_5dkPUbcZOZz6q1mV3WR9-zWOUbkWozxcHTUvVgtYlodncCf1ftlFiI4e_prYg9H3pJ2cA895ZJQ-i8HaMiQpNuK_TWdimkEqOS6dAVALZ_6yRUo8-kQeQya0UMvXZaE9JLxoKqh7Vs/s200/bear+scene.png" /></a><br /><div>So apparently deciding to create a blog randomly isn't such a good idea when you're not really available to be online. I am settling into a new apartment; this is the fourth place I've lived in in the the past 6 or 7 months. I moved away from San Diego in August, stayed in a house up in Long Beach for 5 or 6 months, moved to an apartment back in San Diego, stayed there for a little less than a week, moved to a new apartment (same complex) because it had leaks and mold and bugs. I should be moving back to said apartment within the next few weeks...it's almost done being fixed up (they said that two weeks ago). Argh.<br /><br />I started a new school, which I actually like pretty well. It's much better than my Long Beach school. I'm taking a ridiculous number of APs. I'm basically walking into them with no experience. Wish me luck? I'm doing pretty well, despite all the chaos. I'm hanging in there generally speaking, but the ground is still pretty unstable, you know?<br /><br />Oh, by the way, my 12+ year old computer decided to break down and erase all my files, everything. It's completely busted. I lost alllllll my art work. Gosh darn. Good thing I'm pretty frequent in updating to my deviantart account. I have a few solid things on a thumbdrive, but I can't find it...it's been through three moves, and everything's so unorganized! Try living out of boxes and bags and garages and storage units for 6 months. Your body itself begins to feel like an old wool sweater; threads getting caught on everything and unravelling around you.
