City Pages and AZIA

Remember last year when I advertised my website on the back page of City Pages, the Twin Cities alternative weekly newspaper? Well, I had to stop for economic reasons, but now, I've decided to continue. Hopefully it'll be helpful!
(This one here ties in nicely to LOST-Cram '10!)(Speaking of which, check out my friend Heather's blog for some great DHARMA cakes she made for a LOST party I hosted for the February 2nd premiere.



A bit of freelance came my way in a very serendipitous way, and eventually I'll post it here (I'm waiting for it to have been printed before posting). In the meantime, here's Thom Pham, the owner and chef at AZIA, a terrific pan-Asian cuisine restaurant in Minneapolis. I'm pleased how this looks!



I'm still working on the Linendoll's Beer portfolio piece. Until then, here's another bit to tempt you with!

Starting almost two weeks ago, I started watching all of ABC's LOST on DVD (loaned to me by my good friend Heather). And pretty much every night after work, I've driven to the studio, sat down, and watched at minimum 3 episodes a night, with the goal of being caught up before the season 6 premiere (the last season!).

As I've done this, I've also tweeted my reactions to the show more or less in real time, for anyone who cares to know. So here's the best of the best. If you want, check me out on Twitter to see more analysis!


- On the 4th disc of Season 1 of #Lost, and the polar bear is saying "Walter." Creepy. I've missed out on a lot- it's good to catch up.

- Damnit, I liked Arnz. Why'd he have to blow up?

- Ana Lucia needs to die. What a witch hunter thug.

- Sawyerine: starting to understand the attraction to Sawyer. He is indeed Wolverine!

- I love the voice of "Zeke" (one of The Others). I wish I could imitate it.

- How many baby actors they used to play Aaron? I'm not going to scrutinize the credits, but it's certainly food for thought.

- the character study of Juliet and Jack is troubling, since I feel that the actors don't have any special chemistry.

- Now there's underwater Others to worry about now?!

- I enjoy Sayid episodes! But this needs to be said again: YOU CAN'T CLOSE DEAD PEOPLE'S EYES AFTER THEY DIE IF THEY WERE OPEN!

- I will lose my faith in humanity if Des and Penny ends in tears.

- Benjamin has proved how awesome he is. Liar? Yes. Dangerous? Certainly. Killing a guy with his friend holding an AK? Awesome.

- Hooo boy! Young Whittmore is (SPOILER) an Other?! It just gets better and better!

- Episode called "316," when the plane gets turbulence, they dropped a Wilhelm Scream in the background. Google Wilhelm Scream.

- He... shot... a... kid... ?!?!?!


I'll be done Sunday!
TTYL!

Just finished this while continuing The Great LOST Cram of 2010."



Youtube works again! So I've also reposted number 4. Sorry, Vimeo. I want it up now!

The Great Lost Cram of 2010

So I've finally decided to get into ABC's Lost. I'm sick and tired of not getting the references and not being able to talk about it with friends and colleagues. But thanks to my friend Heather, I've got about 2 weeks to watch all five seasons before the February 2nd Season Six Premiere. Wish me luck!



After a few weeks of hemming and hawing, I've started to finish some Simpsons comic book pages to send to Bongo Comics Group. Just a few samples to show off character design procedure, colour, storytelling, and line-quality. Here, playing on the internet joke of Milhouse as a meme/Milhouse is never a meme is a meme/baloney, Milhouse breaks the fourth wall and reads about how he's the butt of an internet non-joke.

TTYL!
