032 Feb 1

February! I drew this while sitting in my car between classes (I guess I was a loner today! :)/:( ) This was my experiment w/ all things unfamiliar but would like to be familiar with: drawing cars, drawing cartoony, drawing in color, drawing in colored pencil, drawing in marker! Any suggestions for my draw-a-day? I think it'd be cool to have themed weeks or just drawing requests so as not to bore you, annonymous reader, or way more importantly - myself. Things i have kickin' around in my mind are my favorite child actors: ellen page and josh peck... that's about all i got. So comment w/ your suggestions!

031

don't ask... I was done w/ it before I could think of what i was doing... looks like a futuristic Art Garfunkel got stabbed with a giant Q-tip made of various heads. The usual. Here's to 1 month!

030

Figure studies w/ my favorite DBZ character.

you guessed it: A crate on a flying squirrel with big nuts w/ a flying nun in the background! In-class doodle cuz someone's sculpture reminded someone else of this.

029

sorry for the "down" time.
1) my internet has been spotty
2) i was doing REAL drawings/layout on Marker Paper/QuarkXPress/Photoshop, maybe i'll posts those.

028

Drew this in class, and the teacher gave me a little lesson in typography in the upper right (as he drew out the letter, he said, "i hope i'm not ruining your little drawing") but before i could say "yes" I had already said "no." But now, "yes."

"gimme a break, I did two videos today!"

Sunday Song #4

"Putty"

My expressions always stony

And my body armor grey

But at night I get so lonely

In my body made of clay

Well I never had a mother

I work daily without rest

And I’ve lost so many brothers

Wear my weakness on my chest

I’m a putty (I was born to rumble)

I can’t love no one

I’m a putty (touch me and I crumble)

Cuz my heart is numb

I’m no stranger to the danger

Fighting rangers pays the bill

Though we’re only there to capture

They won’t hesitate to kill

And I can’t love no one…

Because my heart is numb.

Sunday Song #3

She's Into Me!

I saw this girl

And she was so beautiful

Thought it was unusual

That she’d talk to me

And when she spoke

Her voice sweet like a metaphor

You’d think that’s a metaphor

But it’s simile

She’s into me I know it

But she doesn’t know it yet

Just wait and see she’ll show it

When she does she won’t regret

Geometry

I knew we were meant to be

Found my TI-83

Then you gave it back

Wish I could say

That we had some chemistry

We could’ve had history

But we just had math

She’s into me I know it

But she doesn’t know it yet

Just wait and see she’ll show it

God, I hope that she forgets

The time that she was alone

I followed her home

Then I called her

Rang her doorbell

Wrote her letters

And I carved her

Name into my chest

Inside a heart

Then I passed Out

On her doorstep

All that blood loss

All that love lost

1, 2, 3, 4!

She's into me, I know it!

026

Drew this while watching Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita"
It's a good watch if you have a spare 3 hours... Haven't watched too many "classic" films, so this was fun to watch, and its so crazy how many things you see in movies today that are basically ripping off of the "classics"

025

Just practicing hands from memory... its getting there...

024

This was a collaboration drawing with my friend in class Angel (no joke!) - he's an amazing artist and is awesome at drawing emo-hearts, so I drew a sad angel and asked him to draw the emo-heart in the middle.

023

RIP Heath Ledger.

022

now in RGB color!

Sunday Song #3

The song is done.

However, I am waiting to formally record it... hopefully tomorrow.

OK?!?

You want proof?

The song's called "She's Into Me" or "I Know it"

Sunday Song #1

"Your Face" - Music & Lyrics by Justin Crisostomo

"That Time" - Music & Lyrics by Justin Crisostomo & Wilmar Dumaop, Performed by zsos (feat. Mu)

"ABCz" - Music & Lyrics by Justin Crisostomo & Wilmar Dumaop, Performed by zsos (feat. Mu)

Original Lyrics (in the right order):

You think you're cool
cooler than some
you think you're smart
when you tell me I'm dumb...
...so's your face (x3)

You think that you've got it all
you say I'm a disgrace
But I've got one more thing to tell you
Darlin' so's your face.
...so's your face (x3)

You think you're clean
the way that you dress
you make a scene
when my room is a mess...
...so's your face (x3)

You say I should try more comebacks
I should know my place
But if I wanted my come back
I'd wipe it off your face...
...so's your face (x3)

New Year's Resolutions

Sorry about the lack of update, but I feel that the majority of fun of me doing this is to get a series of posts i can look back on for my entertainment, and that was largely hindered by the fact that I didn't have a scanner... However, that has been remedied with my new All-In-One Printer/Scanner ! ! !

Drawing a Day
Seeing as I'm trying to begin a career in graphic design/illustration i thought it apt to keep my drawing skillz up... and hopefully improve them. Therefore, everyday, I will do a drawing a day (if i miss one, i'll make it up the next day, etc.) and at best upload them nearly everyday.

Song a Week
My friend Mu and I have recently been weening ourselves off of covering songs and trying to write original material. Each weekend I'll post an original song (silly, serious, stupid) either here or on youtube. This leads me to my new youtube adventure, Songforhire. the address is: http://www.youtube.com/songforhire I will take requests for songs/themesongs and try to do as many as humanly possible.

Well seeing as its the 4th (well technically the 5th) I owe you guys 5 drawings, so expect those soon...

I'm driving down to SD on Sunday, so my weekends pretty busy with preparations, so my song for the week will start next week. (if you want to be picky, lets use "Your Face" as my original song.)

What a great start to '08!

Justin
