News and Updates in the life of the Fxguy

Phew! What a week! I am finally off work for a few days and can get back to my life. Now I have time to update my blog, work on the TON of homework thats been building up and all around catch up. Here are my sketches for the week:

So this sketch is primarily how I felt all week. I felt as if my life were nails on a chalkboard. I couldn’t get any time to slow down or even sketch. I work as a pharmacist and so the days are 12 hours 9AM to 9PM with no breaks. Don’t even get a lunch and so if it’s busy that day I don’t get much of anything but work done.

Me playing around with some architechture stuff

This sketch was how I felt as well, depressed that I cant sketch on a whim, I have to force myself to do it just for a grade.

Ok, since I had someone ask me what the heck is with Fxguy anyways? I thought I would post a quick explanation. I have gone by the nickname Fxguy since I was probably 12 years old. When I was younger, I wanted to go to film school and be the effects supervisor and do special effects for movies. So I came up with the idea of FXguy from the movie FX. Basically on set someone could yell out get me the effects guy now and so I shortened it to get me the Fxguy. Hope this helps!

Well, after a CRAZY week (why did I ever think I could handle 4 classes over the summer for 13 credits while working full time? ) I finally am updating my blog. Currently my blog is going to be devoted mostly to my graphic design class sketches and thoughts. After the summer I can get back to posting some of my thoughts but in the mean time I have to post my sketches. Please click on the thumbnail to reach the full sketch.

This was a quick thought for a design for church. Basically the idea was the old ball and chain with the Earth as the ball and the tag line being something to the effect of “Are you feeling chained to the needs of the world? ”

This was my first sketch, me playing around with some comic book like characters with different expressions.

This was my sketch of an idea that poped into my head about the thought conveyor belt!

This was a sketch tryign to illustrate my thought about being chained to the wings of freedom.

This I sketched while thinking about standing at the edge of tomorrow, not knowing what is on the other side.

This is a sketch of the Stargate, a main set piece from one of my favorite TV shows, Stargate: SG-1.
