The science of art through the art of science.

Freedom Train

I hear that freedom train a commin’ round the bend…

New Job!
New outlook!
New future!
New…book!

After much anticipation my copy of the Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need had finally arrived…..and then I finished it. I guess that is the problem with manga…you can get through it very quickly.
I was genuinely surprised to see the entire book was in manga. I would have figured that it would have been more like a career strategy guide with bits of manga scattered throughout to keep our generation’s 22 second attention spans in check.
By no means was it a short book, concise is a better word, its length was appropriate and it kept me interested throughout. The lessons learned were not something that needed to be memorized, highlighted or crammed; they existed merely to be an introspective and retrospective method of achieving personal and professional zen. It’s six lessons are well thought out and inspire actions based on achievements in a career and happiness.

Stop by the artist’s blog to check out some nifty stuff.

Edit: I just noticed the shopped computer behind him has a missing corner. Ha!

New Dev Art Account

The new Deviant Art account is up as promised...

http://faolun.deviantart.com/

I posted things in it I put in my portfolio for school... tell me what you think.

Edit: I've also added a nifty new gadget that will show you recent works. Also clicking the eyelash pic will take you there as well.

Cleaning House

I recently came back to the blog here. I made sure to eliminate all those pesky Youtube vids that I posted on here in the past. You know... the ones that had nothing to do with anything. If I feel like posting them, I will be posting them at the bottom of the post in the form of links as opposed to embedded windows (that is unless it is uniquely important to whatever I am talking about).

In new News...
  • I've made an application to Kutztown University's Commercial Design department. I look to attend there in the fall.
  • I'm going to attempt to make a new Deviant Art site for my new works; I'll post a link on here when I complete it.
  • I've been running a Steam Punk 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons campaign. My players have no healers or controllers, so if you want in, let me know.
Stay tuned for new stuff.
