  • old man sexy time!

    Tuesday, Jul 21, 2009 3:22PM / Members only

    I drew some pictures of old men when I was sick from food poisoning in Shanghai. I actually really like them, even though a lot of people find them very strange. I wanted to post them here, since this is an "art journal" after all. I haven't posted here for a long time, but I want to get started again. Hopefully, people will remember me?

    I really love drawing faces of old men, even if it's out of my head. It's really fun drawing the wrinkles. It's very relaxing, actually. When I see old men in real life, I like to associate them with different types of animals. for example, George Bush is like a puppy. Dick Cheney looks like a turtle. My favorite faces are the ones that look like turtles, I guess because they are the easiest to point out. A lot of old asian men, I think, have turtle-like faces. They look especially turtle-like when they are short and have pot-bellies lol. This old man, however, has no turtle-like features at all. I don't really know what he is, I started off drawing is head and then slowly extended the neck just for fun. Before I knew it, he turned into some whack Alice in Wonderland character. Oh well!


    something else that I really like to draw, are nice, round, asses. I'm not a lesbian lol. But for some reason it feels very relaxing to draw big butts, probably because of the curve of the lines. It's definitely much more relaxing to draw a female body than a male body, even though I like drawing guys a lot more (especially cute guys hehe). This drawing was really fun to do because I not only got to draw an old man, I got draw a nice round ass too haha. It's always fun to present a "shock" factor to the audience too. I've been playing around with this idea of adding old man faces to beautiful female bodies recently, this is actually my second time drawing this particular one.


    This one's sort of a continuation of the previous one....along the same theme. It was just plain fun to draw this one,  I think it's funny. I don't know why, it's fun to indirectly creep people out sometimes.

    Recently added some new work to my new deviantart account. I'm starting to wonder maybe I shouldn't have made a new account....I kind of just did that on impulse....the username doesn't even describe me very well, I just thought it was kind of cool, kind of like heylookaninja. Whatever. I'll just call it a fresh start. Im kind of exploring my own sense of "style" right now anyways.

    I'm actually feeling kind of sick right now, possibly from the medications that I have to take post-wisdom teeth extraction. I've started drawing a lot more tho, which is making me a lot happier than I was before.

    wow I haven't been here for a long time!

    I'm so bad at blogging, but it's no fun to blog when none of my irl friends are on :(

    I've been applying for summer jobs/internships recently. I've been learning how to speak Chinese too, and I might go to shanghai for a program this summer. 

    I bought a longboard recently and have been riding it to class! I'll take a picture of it and post it here sometime soon! It's my new obsession, hehehe.

    haven't written here for a while
    I don't really  have any irl friends on alivenotdead, so there's nothing really motivating me to continue this blog. I might switch back to livejournal ahaha...though I still like this add picture thing at the bottom...

    today the reality of the economic recession hit me, though I haven't done anything about it yet because I'm still somewhat in a bubble of comfort under the wing of my parents.

    It took me all day to draw this: 



    it looks rather simple, just a guy riding on his bike, but the pose and perspective were really hard to accomplish since I was doing everything without a reference (except for technicalities of the bike). It took me about 6 or 7 sketches to get to what you see here. I don't know if that's normal or not, but I realize that if I want some sort of career in art I'm going to have to work on my drawing skills a lot more than i have.

    That's good you are studying animation. Are you learning 3D tools as well as illustration? You know I actually run / own a design company in addition to my production company, so I know the business of the design/CG world pretty well if you're ever looking for some practical observations looking for the time when you leave college. How long before you're done? Why am I the only one on your guestbook?

    No, but I've been here since I went to college at 17, so I've been here my adult life. You've been here since a baby, maybe you can teach me a thing or two about LA. :) So - are you an artist/illustrator?

    umm I think theyr like $6-7 over here. I never actually found any in nyc. but then, i didnt really look either. I figure if you find any kind of japanese dept store or place that sells japanese art supplies, you could prob find htem for like $10 or so probably. I had this other one before that cost like $40, but it sucked cos it felt cheap, and the ink wasnt as dark or thick as those pilot ones.

    If you find them, try them out and let me know what u think.

    P.S. I got a huge collection of Copic Markers they are awesome!

    I use these pilot brush pens:
    http://www.pilot.co.jp/products/pen/sign_marker/fude_pen/shin_mouhitu/index.html
    They are like orgasms to use. I've never been so in love before I discovered these pens. they totally changed my life. i buy them at stationary shops on hk. i dunno about the US, I always got like a huge supply of them whenever i came to hk while i was in school in nyc. u msut get them too.
    orange and green ones...

    25 is fine, for the following reasons:

    a. since these are just prints and you are not committed to making limited editions, you give up nothing for selling me one set of prints, so price should not be set too high.

    b. i enjoy these works intensely and feel that you should be compensated for making them.

    i want these:
    Bad Food
    3am Cram
    Facebook
    What they want / Pressure
    Emo Cut out
    Power plant
    Bus ride
    The lyricist
    Oops
    Meateaters
    Gluttony

    Send me a private message on how best to send you 275... make me some nice prints!

    How do you draw on a computer?

    damn you're amazing.

    which chinese book is it?

    i'm pretty serious about buying some of your work - purely for personal collection as they do speak to me. either prints, or even better if you are happy to part with an original. it should be quite easy sending them via mail.
