Facebook

So I've had a Facebook account for a while and it seems pretty cool. I was never into the whole MySpace thing. It seemed ugly and looked like hell to manage. Facebook is fun and a way to keep in touch. Not that I'm trying to dissassemble the TAG blog mind you. Just another way to waste your time. BTW Maurie Manning and Joe Shoopack are on it. Heres a link to my my profile you want to check it out.

UPDATE: Oops. You can't really see it unless you have an account. Damn these exclusive clubs!! Maybe I can take a screenshot of it and post that...

Buta or 战士猪

Here's a drawing I did in a meeting today. Drawn in marker then colored in Photoshop. Still trying to get the hang of the Cintiq/Photoshop.

Steve Gerber passes

This just bums me out. All those great comic stories and characters from the 70's.

Long Beach Security

Alarms ringing, babies crying.

"Pencil" Kong

This is my first drawing that I've done with one of the Pencil brushes that Ellis pointed us to the other day. I dig it (the brush, that is).

Also, I want to point out that I received 2 Toho Kong movies for Christmas this year (thank you, Tommy!). So, as you can see, I've got Kong on my mind. I have to say that I'd much rather watch King Kong Escapes a few more times than Jackson's King Kong... the Toho film is MUCH more entertaining!

Trek Remastered: The Ultimate Computer SFX reel

This was shown this weekend for those who don't keep up with it. I waited a year to see this one. Not bad but could have been better.




Here is some comparison images to other episodes

Star Trek the Travelling Circus

I went to Star Trek the Tour last weekend in Long Beach. It's housed in the dome that formerly housed the "Spruce Goose". If you're a TRUE Trekker then you should definitely check it out. I didn't even know about it until a friend of mine who is actually managing the food part of the tour told me about it. I went at the last moment during the SuperBowl. That might have explained the thin crowds but I don't really watch football so it was fine with me. Here are a few of my hilights:

1.Me jumping throught the "Guardian of Forever"
2.Schematic used on Star Trek the Next Generation set complete with duck, hamster, and Porsche.
3. Shuttle trainer model with GI Joe Cobra decal on the cockpit.
4. I actually got to sit in the Kirk's original bridge chair. It is VERY cheesy AND they didn't allow pics while you were on the set. Boo Hoo.
5. There were a few hardcore fans there dressed up in costume and a Vulcan walked by and gave us the Superbowl score.
6. Ate at "10 Forward" where they have the actual "Quark's Bar" set. Very uncomfortable.
7. Saw Hirschfeld crew caricatures from all of the shows. He's awesome!

The tour has been extended through March I think and they have no plans to go to San Diego or San Francisco. So go to Long Beach for it's only California stop!
