Blue Collar/White Collar

On my hands today is the Blue Collar/White Collar of my instructor and friend Sterling Hundley, he is a world-class illustrator, thanks to this I have a chance to meet him and rediscover his extraordinary mind and soul all over again, through his works, sketches and thoughts. Also I want to express my gratitude to Jason Manleyand John English for making TAD happen so I have a chance to meet those execllent people. The book has traveled for quite a long way, for a long time and only happen here thanks to the love of my cousin and uncle.
I'm so glad this morning I'm surrounded with happiness and inspiration, it's a nice day.

BOOK: Lovers in Art

Newest in my collection, as the title said, this is all about love and couple in art, nicely composed and commentary by Meredith Johnson, with historical facts, humors and fantasy.

"Lovers everywhere will find this sumptuous volume a delight for the eye and nourishment for the heart, as artist and art historian Meredith Johnson offers a wide-ranging exploration of the relationship between romantic love and art."

In near future

My Producer in MBSH/BC said: Game is the strongest market in this shit economy, since it's next to toilet paper in term of necessities.
It's true, and I hope game with high artistic aspects will define our future in both mind and daily life, for better ones.

People's expectation

Found this on 9gag, so irony that only WAR and POLICE do surpass expectation.

World of VFX

People can complain that they lost jobs because of that frigging digital stuffs, no you are not, you are being replaced by somethings better, faster, cheaper since you cant get along with that.
Digital effects is already taking over and open the whole new world of possibilities and it's not a bad thing, mastery and knowledge are still essential, don't complain, be adaptive, be vanguard, and respect the classics.
