The Good, The Bad, and The (F)Ugly

Portraits, portraits, portraits.

Here is my self portrait. It is me at the Asbury Park Zombie Walk back in early October.

I like zombies. I like killing zombies more.

Here is my first memory photo, the one I'd keep.

Story behind this: I went to an Iron Maiden concert and it was the best damned concert I've been to (yet). I can really tell you every detail down to what I wore that day. Basically, it was me and two friends on the lawn at PNC, one hell of a thunderstorm, and the band on stage.

I edited the picture to look like their album cover to Number of the Beast.

At the other end, here is my bad memory. This time, I was leaving a concert and ended up rear ending someone, who then hit a 3rd car. Yeah, a car accident isn't that big of a deal, but what bothers me most is that I really don't know why I didn't see the guy stop sooner. Oh well.

On an ironic twist, I noticed that my best memory came from a heavy metal concert, while my worst happened after a punk rock concert (Offspring if you're wondering). Just thought that was a tad humorous in that the memories are on opposite sides of the spectrum, just like the band's genres that I saw....

My Death Bed

Here is my text based image. As said in class, it is suppose to be a guy in a coffin, and I'm glad you all got that.

Here it is with color and other imagery. Ta-da.

The text is lyrics from Pink Floyd's song Breathe.

For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you give and tears you cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be


My idea is that life is just made up of the different ways we see and feel things. It's just our senses making our memories, and that's all. As for the idea of where I'll end up, I put a coffin, cause death is the only guarantee from life. Kinda grim, I know, but I think I just made a new quote for myself.

Rule of Three

Here is my Trippy Triptych. I edited the background to the guitar screen to make it less overplayed with "tabs" like Michael said =P and broke the borders of the panels a couple more times. I also added writing onto the desk in the panel with the book.

I'd like to later come back to this and edit it some more, with more detail into the desk and to the hallways in the school, but maybe for another day.

Still Life Edits

In the first one, I edited the size of the items as well as their location.

Here, I took away the background cause it seemed popular to not have one and I just wanted to fit in.

Life was still for that very moment

HERE, I give you, my STILL LIFE


Personally, I don't like still lives. They're boring and if you want them done perfectly, they have to be done pretty much at once. I'm rather content with how this original came out. As stated, the background isn't the best, mostly with the size comparison, but oh well. I'll upload my edits later.

IN MUCH MORE INTERESTING NEWS!

Did anyone see the naked biotch at OCC campus? Facebook is FIRING all over the place about her. I didn't see her though, but I saw this video of her! She's screaming something along the lines of "FUCK YOU I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME!", so my friend says. Biotch is whack!

Mother

For my first project, I give you, my mother, on the interblagz.

EDIT: Forgot that I was suppose to put what I was trying to do.

Well basically, I drew my mother like assigned. Getting used to the tools and what not. Later on, I threw in the background. I didn't want to do anything overly complicated, but didn't want something simple. However, I spent too much time working on my mother, and time gave out on me, so I did what is seen. As said in class, the path leads you away from the image with no intent to return. My plan was to throw a sun up in the upper right with rays leading back to my mother, bringing the image full circle.

Me, in a Blog Shell

So I looked through some of the other blogs and saw that you put one about yourself, so I figured I'd do the same to help you, understand, me.

My name is Kevin, but some would know me as K Mart, depends on who you ask. I'm 20 years old and have lived in Toms River since pretty much ever. But let us skip this boring crap.

I'm currently on my 5th semester at OCC with no idea where I want to transfer to, nor do I know what I want to study when I get there. I'm only at school because I'm an NJ Stars student and figured that I should at least get an education if it's free (for the most part).

I enjoy music, art, video games, as well as other things a typical teen/young adult would. Let us tackle these interests of mine.

MUSIC: I enjoy all types of music, from metal to pop to country. I'm open to try all types and will take listen to what other people suggest for me.

ART: I've liked to draw ever since I was a young child (at least, I remember I do). I don't have a real "style", but I have found that comics and manga have interested me the most.

VIDEO GAMES: When at home, I'm probably playing something. Xbox. PS3, Wii, I own it all, so if you wanna play something, hit me up.

IN GENERAL: I like to have fun.

A little more about me. I'm shy, but I can be outgoing depending on the situation. Weird. I'm childish and immature. I'll have you all know, I still enjoy my Pokemon games, watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers.

This is dragging on, so if there is anything that you REALLY need to know, just ask me.

So here's my blog, as per Nat's instructions.

Thoughts about art? It's interesting stuff. Made to be viewed differently by each person. As said in class, I'm taking this course because it seemed interesting to me. I took basic drawing with Nat last semester, and that was cool, but I didn't do as well as I hoped. But then he showed some of this stuff to the class and that interested me more.

So I guess I'll see you all in class next week.
