Drawing Through the Night


Lonely Awakening by ~Le-Narcissique on deviantART

Last night I got bored with work and decided to take a break and draw a little (something I had not done for weeks). I stayed up until 1:00am drawing this.

This is what came out. Not all that good, I know. But I still like somthing about it.

The thumbnail above is hosted at Deviant Art, an artist’s comunity with lots of great aplications and millions of pieces of art to watch and buy.

I’ll talkabout Deviant Art in another post.

You can watch my galery here.

For now, tell me: Have you ever stayed up late doing something you love?

(Yes, Sex is a valid answer… but a really obvious one)

BURN-E – Pixar's just too good.

As an animation student, I really feel ashamed to admit I have not jet watched the last great pixar motion picture: WALL-E (I guess I am now compeled to do so and probably will soon enough)

Nontheless, I have recently watched the new, marvelous, material pixar has included on WALL-E’s blue ray: BURN-E.


BURN-E from Sasha Molodtsov on Vimeo.

The great animation technique, hilarious narrative and gorgeous character and scene design have made this short an instant favourite to my list.

I highly recomend getting the blue-ray version. And can only hope (and bbe pretty sure) that the movie in not even a little less entertaining and beautifully done.

Did you like BURN-E?

Some more Musical Delight

Once again, It’s great to be back here.

On to busyness:

There’s a web service called Grooveshark which some of you may or may not know. Truth is it’s been out there for quite a while and I, personally, use it quite a lot.

This service allows yoou to listen basically any music you want for free and have the option of downloading it for $0.99.

The interesting thing with this service is you can upload all of you music library and get credits avery time someone listens to a file you uploaded. Said credits can, in turn, be spent to buy music.

What I really like about this service is that you can find pretty much anything you want and listen to it online.

But mayby you’re thinking “why is it that you’re just telling us about it if you’ve been using it for so long?”

Well, it is just because they hace just recently made it posible to embed little players with custom playlists.

This new feature, in my opinion, gives the aplication a really great plus.

Here’s a little example of this widgets:

Some Time at the Place of Power

First of all, I’d like to extend an apology to my readers for not being able to update in such a long period of time.

Truth is, I haven’t had Wi-Fi connection at my place for almost two weeks; which makes it difficult for me to keep in touch with the blog and what not.

Enough of that, let’s talk about something else.

I am standing, right now, at the state’s congress building. (Congreso del Estado de Jalisco). I was invited by the principal of my university to take some HD Video of a congress meeting due this afternoon.

Standing here, watching all the politicians who’s job is supposed to be watching out for us; Over hearing some conversations, I realize; ironically enough; not to my surprise, that this people is just as frivolous and uncaring as anybody else… if not even more.

This is the awful truth of the government, not only here where I stand. Not only at this awful country people call Mexico.

It is something of universal presence.

And why would they care. They are no more than humans after all, now, are they?

But this people is supposed to be and think different, they are supposed to care and manage to fix people’s problems.

Being here, really, has made me a little sick to my stomach. This is the place where, people perfectly knowing, politicians approve undeserved increments to their salaries. This is the place where politicians make laws that take away our liberties and make our lives pray to the big enterprises.

This is somewhere I would rather not be. And still, I am here for a reason. Not only for the job that was commended to me. But because being here, I know, will make me think more of these issues.

It’ll open my eyes to those parts of society and government I (and we as a peoples) should be criticising and changing for good.

Being here makes me feel enraged and full of thoughts of rebellion and social action. Let information be our weapon and wisdom our guiding light.

Let us take back this world, for it belongs not to this people in suits and with thoughts of personal enrichment in spare of what people needs.

This world belongs to all of us and all of us are to be taken accountable for what happens to this world while we do nothing about it.

Give me a world where government works for it’s country and not for the few who stand a a posicion of power. Or even better, let us create such a world.

Good to be back.
