Hello world... again. :)

2009-11-11T19:34:00.000-08:00

Hey, all. This is Mike. 'Tis been a while since I actually used this and I was wondering if people were actually still subscribed to it. I used to use this to post stuff not particularly suitable for DA; a place for my own, ya know? However, it's difficult to keep two places updated. Will try and be better about that.

If you're still following, drop a line and show me some love, yeah? ^_^

Check out the trailer for Kick-Ass below. Yes, that is McLovn — Christopher Mintz-Plasse — as 'Red Mist'. Love it! :D

Workin' on stuff...

2009-09-10T09:56:00.001-07:00

... but can't share any of it right now. Let it be known that I'm still alive and rockin' and rollin'. I beat SHADOW COMPLEX (Wah-hoo!) and not I'm thinking about other games to go to. I think Batman: Arkham Asylum is next.

Anyway, just passing though and saying a quick hello. Much love, and I should have stuff to post soon. Cheers!

Takashi Murakami Sculptures

2009-08-10T09:57:00.000-07:00

For whatever the reason, the sculptures of Takashi Murakami have been on my mind lately. I believe the two main figures here 'Hiropan' (the girl jumping rope with her breast milk) and 'My Lonesome Cowboy' (the guy making a lasso out of his semen) premiered in 1999. They are still used in exhibits, though and continue to be a fascinating tribute/mockery of the Japanese anime culture. Also, just to let you know that this is serious business, in May 2008 'My Lonesome Cowboy' sold for $15.2 million. How do you like that! :)

Maybe I should get into sculptures... Ha! Talk to you soon. :)

Sometimes...

2009-08-08T14:35:00.000-07:00

... I freakin' REALLY wish I had a girlfriend. The love and companionship that a relationship like that brings is just... amazing. It's hard (after experiencing a loving girl) to return to "normal" life. It just feels so empty. That's why some say exposure's a bad thing. It makes you discontent in situations where heretofore you would have been fine.

Ah, well.

Life goes on... and I hope to find another love one day.

Hope y'all are doing well. Talk to you soon. Much love!! :)

Soooooo..... Drawing Night not that intersting?

2009-07-22T11:10:00.000-07:00

Hey, all. seeing that I didn't get any feedback on the drawing night idea, I'm not sure if I'm going to do it. I thought that it might be fun to get a bit more interactive. Perhaps you all just like to see pics, though. Here's some of Sora Aoi.

Well, hope you're doing well, and I'll see ya soon. Gotta do some thinking and drawing today. Let me know if you have any ideas and stuff. Cheers! :)

Mike's Drawing Night - Batgirl!!!

2009-07-21T10:56:00.000-07:00

Hey, all. In an attempt to do something different and fun, I'm doing a 'Mike's Drawing Night' here. Just like on my DA page, here are the rules.

----------------------------------------------

1. I post a topic, and then everyone has 48 hours to do their piece.

Today is Tuesday, so I'll post my piece Thursday (and in the comments section of that post, people can post links to their images).

2. Draw your own interpretation of the theme. Take as little or as much time as you want.

3. It's open to everyone! Have fun! :)

I hope that I can get a lot of participation with this. If people really like it, I'll make it a weekly event. ^_^

Show me what ya got! Talk to you soon! Much love!! *HUGZ*

Daiki Kougyo Wonder Festival 2009 Preview

2009-07-20T10:19:00.000-07:00

I think this figure is so cute. If I were really into figure collecting (which I am modestly) I’d definitely hunt this one down. However, with comics, video games, movies, etc, I don’t need to start another hobby. Ha! Gotta love it. :)

You can go here for more info.

Hope y’all are doing well and that you enjoy the frequent updates. Let me know!!

NOTE: Gonna start something cool this week. Look out for it! :)
