I wanted to mention that today my mom apparently thought driving to the casino would be a good idea. One hour into northbound I-35 traffic we decided to turn back. It only takes an hour to get there, we were halfway there, I don't even want to know what happened. But that's okay, the last 5 or 6 times I went to the casino, I lost $20 without making it back or winning at any time. Ask my brother, he was with me most of those times.
15 minute redraw of an old sketch 5 or 6 years old. Obviously I haven't really improved in drawing guys in all that time, despite my actively trying to draw more guys. A failure is me. In my defense, I draw a lot faster now, but it still looks the same quality. I think I managed to improve facial proportions a lot, but sometimes I catch myself sketching and the faces still look jacked up.
The job search is going poorly. CVS didn't want us back at all, looked up a recruiter, no jobs in Texas, my resources turning up blanks. My brother says to not feel too depressed, the other Vietnamese losers in our class still don't have jobs, so it's a racial failure, not a personal failure. Because Vietnamese people truly are the armpit of Asia... But that's okay, I may be an armpit Asian, but at least...
I was about to say I can draw, but looking up at the sketch, I decided against bragging about something that isn't really true.
I've been tinkering with making jewelry instead. Mind you, nothing I've made is actually wearable, I just like bending the metals.
I lunched at La Madeleine, with its hideous digital flatscreen menu that is so not country French cafe. Sampled strawberries romanoff and a slice of sacher torte, very delicious compared to my then dinner of ramen noodles.
Anyway, just posting to see if anyone is interested in copies or prints of my artwork. Nothing I've drawn in the past is very good, but I am feeling kind of retro these days, so if you want me to rework a piece of art I've already done but in my "new and improved" style, let me know and I'll do my best because well, I don't have a job.
