I hope to God that is just a bad joke,but I was just informed that one of my ITT students was killed in a car accident Wednesday night. I'm a extremely sadden by this. If anybody knew Akbar Tsag he was a great person, very talented and just great to be around. I wish luck and lots of love to his new family he left behind. He will me missed. Rest in Peace.

It's been a while since my work been on the papers, but this is pretty cool. R.B.A was featured in the P.R. news papers for the comic book convention. Cool stuff. If you can read Spanish read on, if not... ammm... good luck.

I normally use the profile for my professionals comments but this is something that really disturbs me, and I my self have experienced. Living in the states gives us the opportunity to enjoy many kinds of food, at our convince, and at convenient price, so as a result many of us suffer from obesity. Granted is up to the individual to control what they eat but sometimes some facts come up and is just to hard to ignore. I my self lost a lot of weight these past few years and by massively reducing fast food out of my life is a huge accomplishment. But I do a have a nice and nephew, and it really disturbs me when I see stuff like this.

It's a you tube link.. must watch...

I don't like to preach on peoples eating habits but this is very disturbing. Plus my friend did an experiment with a McDonal's shake a few years ago where he smeared some of it on surface. After 3 days is split into powder, some creamy stuff, and PLASTIC... PLASTIC... that can't be good.

Stay Healthy guys and keep on sketching

Ok so I'm currently working on a lot of things but I'm still trying to help my studenst out. So this is a a new conference they started in Florida called Evolve 3d. Apparently the guys who run it they realized that Florida is like a giant pool for new talent and no one comes down here to get these students hired.

So even though I can't compete I'll be mentoring and hopefully inspiring my students through the though process of the competition to make their character design. If you are a student you should check it out. It's open to all students of all levels. So if you can only draw that's ok.

evolve3d.net and look for the hunters competition

here' is my progress so far:
