road trip

2010-08-09T22:36:00.000-07:00

tripped out today. Man, we live in a nice lookin' state. Was on the 5 heading north, not so curvy but nice! had a good lunch in Redding, burger, fries with fries sauce and a coke. It was really good! trippy
pie and ice cream would have made finished the day off nicely.

enjoying the state of being a nobody.

good times.

ride
fun stuff!
I'm actually gonna tune and clean the bike up. I might even add a fairing since it's my commuter bike. I would love to tighten it a bit, visually and mechanically. we'll see.

2010-06-08T17:14:00.000-07:00

in this picture, the headlight is gone cuz i crashed. bolts on the springer vibrated loose. so lock tight is your friend; use it. good thing the bike is under powered and going up hill when the front end gave out or i would have been in big trouble. i fixed the bike on the spot and was on the road in no time. this past weekend sure was fun!
i plan on changing the bike a bit and go through it for safety. the bike should be ready for the sunny side up show this coming sunday. that's gonna be fun and a ride with chuck and his whizzer crew.

moped rally and two wheel fun

2010-06-07T18:12:00.000-07:00

Rallies are fun. Crappy pictures soon. The Bay area is awesome.
Make time to see and live. There is lots to see in our back yard.

Silly fun thing

2010-04-12T10:40:00.000-07:00

I'll be tinkering with this thing in addition to the Schwinn lowrider. I got it working and rideable the other night. The thing is a blast to peddle around. It needs a pass with steel wool, re-pad the seat and get the derailleur to work properly and it's good to go. I also want to find a set of small square headlight for it and a pair of small bullet tail tights. I'm so tempted to slap on an extended springer fork or girder.

picture taken by luke brown, it was taken from his blog: "mucus clown" http://mucasclown.blogspot.com/
it was fun keying in the bike and working out the in-betweens. We got a pencil test the next day and the bike was on the road back to so-cal. mechanic~animator...paper flipper~ wrench turner...puppeteer!
oh, this little project was just a rough pass. Clean-up will take some time...

Dragon update

2010-03-22T15:06:00.000-07:00

finished with the line work. it's kinda funky, gonna try to fix some stuff during the clean-up stage...

went on a 25 mile bike ride with the girlfriend (she's a trooper) on friday. boy, we are tired and sore! feel better now and lookin' forward to the next run. I rode with only one gear, it burned going up the hills. gettin' a bike with speeds ready for the next run too. ten speed? aluminum frame and springer front..maybe some narrow mini ape hangers, banana seat, sissy bar...got the bike for 15 bucks too. cheap clean fun! if i'd worked in the same city i live in, i probably wouldn't need a car or motorcycle B-)

cool real bike in front and the fun wannabe in back

same old dragon

2010-03-19T10:41:00.000-07:00

redrawing this dragon to use it for part of a texture. grey scale texture. using line to convey shape and form. kinda like painting by drawing in your brush stokes. a real head bender, drawing shapes to conform onto a plain, visualizing what's ahead and trying to do it with the least amount of guides. i guess it's technical, a good challenge, fun stuff. visceral insanity.

i sometimes wonder if this dragon will become an icon...

little red bike

2010-01-26T10:10:00.001-08:00

I have a little red bike. The bike is always breaking. When something does breaks, it's a good challenge to try to fix it. In the process, I also try to improve and modify the bike. Plenty of experimenting, but nothing crazy, it's just a bicycle. I'm learning a lot and having fun. I think I spend more time working on the bike than riding it. The motor on the bike is not even good to begin with, but it's still running. It's not the prettiest thing but it's really fun, my little red bike.
Here's a picture:

The xehaust is a modified pocket bike expansion chamber and it works well. You can actually feel the difference and sounds a bit cooler too.
Silly red bike.

old life drawing

2009-07-21T23:11:00.001-07:00

good times...i was trying to draw and not copy in most of the sessions. really hard when you don't understand what you are drawing...i still don't really know how the human body goes together. form, weight, etc...oh! and story...sheesh too much stuff.
lately, i've been studying how to draw the "head" and how to use the medium (pencil, paint, ink(yes, ink) etc... and (sort of) studying graphic design from a book i found at work...i will post some sketches shortly. toons are fun hotrods are fun and motor bikes too.
