This Blog is Dead.
So, as you can see, if anyone still follows me here... I've been comatose on the internet for a while.
I'm only active on my twitter account, which is http://twitter.com/arthurdelacruz, and also instagram. Not sure how to link to that, but my username is "arthurdelacruzz"
For what feels like forever I've not updated my main website and webcomic at http://kissingchaos.com and http://mydestroyer.com. Nor have I updated my blogger or livejournals. This was all on purpose. I've been busy, regrouping, working on new material which will all be revealed sometime this 2011.
Kissing Chaos will make a return to print/web this fall. It's going to be awesome.
aww man, I totally missed my weekly emo arm up drawing update last friday. I guess I was too emo to upload. Or, I was busy. Or all of the above.
Did I mention I'm not a fan of the word "emo" being used as anything other than a noun?
Anyway, haven't had much to blog about. Been writing alot, and doing day job art, which basically means I can't show any of it here.
I have been marathoning Buffy The Vampire Slayer season 7, which in my humble opinion contains some of the best episodes Whedon and crew have crafted.
Also, I've been addicted to Tumbler lately, I may just switch from a blog to a Tumbler, or at least make this feel like a tumbler. I just feel it's more my speed, and more appropriate for the amount of time I have to do this sort of thing.
okay. it's been a few weeks with no update. Sorry folks. Here's the next one!!! Guess the lyric and you get a prize!!
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
I've been working on some animation for a freelance client, and it really got me in the mood to do some personal amination or something.
So, just to get my feet wet, I think I'll take a stab at animating one of the Kissing Chaos:'Til I Die strips. It might take a minute to find a voice actor, and get some music scored... but I'll bust my ass to get this done!!
Here is a pic of what I look like as I write this. I'm totally posing with a caramel machiato. For reals. Poser for life.
Sorry I missed my emo warmup sketch update last week. I have a good excuse though. I was on vacation in Virginia!! LOL. Well, there was also a wedding for my cousin Cheri, but it was mostly a chillout time with the fam at a time share resort. It's beautiful there. If you live in a city like me, and wonder where all the trees are, they are in VA.
I stayed with my fam on a mountain resort, and one day I had the brilliant idea to go longboarding. Brilliant should read as crazy. I bit off more than I could chew, and went down a hill at high speed, probably 20-30 mph, had to dodge a car, lost control and BAILED hard. As in jumping off my deck, and smashing on the concrete like I was thrown out of a car. Rag doll physics in full effect.
Due to a one day session of parkour training, I was able to roll to safety, without dying. I did a face plant, got a scar on my forehead, and scuffed up my shoulder and ripped my fave Rancid shirt!! My glasses miraculously escaped the crash unscathed. But my shoulder was shot. I could barely move it for days, and even today, over a week since the incident, I'm still not at 100%. Perhaps an xray is in order? I dunno. I'm contemplating posting pics of my injury, cuz it's pretty gnarly.
And that's totally unironic use of gnarly, as I'm using it in reference to a board sport!!
One of the thoughts that ran through my hea the scene from the LOST season finale, when Richard finds a white hair on his head and says he just realized he "wants to live". I'm emo, but not so emo that I want to leave this mortal coil, but it's this type of harrowing experience that as cliche as it seems, makes you realize that yeah, I'm mortal. LOL. Spoken like a teenager.
Also, having a bonafide skateboarding injury is totally badass, right? LOL.
Anyway, I really have to be on my grind now that we are back from vacay. I'm working on the Lost Planet manga with my buddy Takeshi Miyazawa, and my day job doing art for an up and coming video game company, and trying to get a bunch of comic and other media stuff written. It's crazy busy around here.
I'm glad all my network TV shows are almost done. Looking forward to the Glee finale next week. And once that's in the bag, I'm planning to jump on the 10 Things I Hate about You show, and the latest Breaking Bad and United States of Tara seasons. Good times this summer. Oh, and hells kitchen too.
Um... what else. My webcomic with Jason Loo will be back online this coming sunday. I'll up some links in a day or two. Also, I'll have another emo warm up sketch tomorrow.
Check these dudes out. I love youtube for discovering hot new 'ish. I kid you not, there are more talented cats on youtube than you'll find via radio or any other mainstream, or non mainstream outlet.
okay. so it's not friday. sue me. I was inspired and needed to do a warm up doodle study. And I heard a lyric today that was pretty emo, so here you go:
