I live in Seattle now!

Posted by Emanhattan - August 30th, 2010


Hey Ng crew n folks whats up

about a week ago I moved to Seattle, Washington (im living with a friend). Decided to drop out of ITESM (btw ill bitch and whine about why I quit that school in one of my future posts. I dont want other aspiring mexican artists to fall for it). I got accepted in a school called digipen in redmond wich charges me about the same ammount I was being charged for at ITESM, except im convinced the education is nfinitelly superior. Luckily enough I got a scholarship that can allow me to do this move at this time (I hope the economy doesnt fuck up even more later on). It was a very hard decision for me but I think eventually Ill be pretty happy with what I did. Even though its kinda hard to say goodbye to family and good friends, I still feel that this move will help me achieve my goals. But I am glad to say americans in this zone are pretty chill with mexicans :) theres a lot of cultural diversity in this part of the united states, and from the 3 times Ive been here Ive never felt... "different" or "offended" so to speak.

Quoting my bud rtil"Hey man this aint arizona we love our illegals here!" lmao rtil

But GOD

I hate when people pay some "special attention" to me, in both a good or bad way. A very nice lady on a bus was talking to me not too long ago and asked me if we had spongebob in Mexico :/
Idk people take some special interest in me because I was raised in a different community.
When I tell most people I was born in mexico they wonder why am I not wearing a sombrero and ask themselves where in my clothes am I hiding my machete.

(Speaking about machetes... Im kinda excited about Rob Rodrigues´upcoming movie "Machete".If you liked Grindhouse (grindhouse being Death proof + Planet terror) youll probably also enjoy this.)

but back on topic...

I think that my art has been significanly more productive/better/more fun since I moved. You know sometimes you just need a quiet place to work! and My house in Mexico is reallycrowdy and noisy and the phones dont stop ringing. Its bad for art and bad for my nerves and its just ffff so as you can imagine im kinda in my place of ZEN right now.
Ive been working a lot on my sketchbooks doing as many cartoon designs and life drawings as possible. I think art-wise this has been a pretty great summer for me cuz I havent stopped drawing for months, as opossed to my last december vacations. But yeah Im drawing a LOT and Im trying to truly create the habit of drawing daily as a necessity, just like breathing air.

I havent really done a lot of stuff in flash. Once again, im trying to put animation aside until I truly feel in control of my drawing. But there are a few things ive been doing.
Hell I think ill show you some....

this is kinda gay

Eventually I will try to post some of my sketches/traditional art. unfortunatelly I didnt bring a camera with me and I dont have a scanner here :/

wish me luck at my new school/life!

THEY JUST FUCKED WITH THE WRONG MEXICAN

Emseattle doesn't have the same ring to it?

Hey seattle isnt so bad. We got good anime cons here and penny arcade XD

THEY GAVE HIM AN OFFER HE COULDN'T REFUSE

Digipen!?!?! O_o I still have those DVD's they send out by mail.. Good times..

You live like a 4 hour drive from my house.

you just gave me a great name for a movie

"Death Professor"

You have arrived.

I have indeed

Go DigiPen! I have a friend who went there. He got picked up by Signal Studios before he even graduated.

EMAN OMG THIS IS GREAT!! Now I can finally visit you and we can be just like we were during the Seattle meet! THE HIGH FIVIN' WHITE GUYS, DOWNTOWN ADVENTURE!! ALRIGHT!!!
You are so lucky to be going to Digipen. And damn, to think you are going before me. This reduces our chances of going to college together. Ah well I still have huge plans and YOU will be... my employee...
And you will BUSINESS with me, or else I will fire you for being mutinous. (inside joke)

Your Death Proof art is badass. Next time draw those women beating the shit out of him.

Also try to roll with people treating you weirdly. You are an alien and people from our civilization are fascinated with your kind. They have to take it slow.

thanks m8! :)

also yeah people are a bit weird but very nice to me so I can live with it :)

so does this mean we aren't getting "Sonic Screws up 2"? :(

nah mang the productin costs r too hig!

You going to PAX?

probably not. I havent got my tickets but even if I had I dont know if theres anything particularly interesting that would make it worth it.

Mexicans seem cool.

Digipen is full of furries, apparently. Don't take my word for it.

from what Ive seen theres not that many furries but I might encounter more of them once classes actually start

if it makes you feel better, i dont pay any attention to you.
