oscar recap & my art stuff

Well I am always a big fan of the Oscars, but then at the same time, it gets kind of annoying to watch when some things that you want to win don't. I was pretty happy with all of the wins, like the King's Speech winning Best Picture and Colin Firth winning as well. The only thing I felt was wrong was the Best Score. The Social Network does have a cool soundtrack and such, but Inception was so epic with its soundtrack, especially that BWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH sound that we all know from the kick scene at the end.

It almost reminds me of the DONG DONGGG from any Law & Order show.

Oh well. Inception did win more stuff than the Social Network. I'm not dissing the Social Network or anything because I saw it and I really enjoyed it. I just felt Inception was so much better deserving of many things. What made me laugh was that every one of the recipients of the awards for Inception acknowledged Christopher Nolan for all he did for the movie.

I think it was kind of a big MIDDLE FINGER to the academy for not nominating him. Ohhh...but they can nominate James Cameron for his billion dollar movie that wasn't all that great?

Oh well :)

And following that, I've been letting everyone know that I have been selling artwork that I have made. Lately, I've been drawing a lot of architecture stuff from original photographs by myself. Just this weekend, I've drawn Sleeping Beauty's Castle from Disneyland and Hogwarts Castle at Universal's Islands of Adventure:

I'm really sorry...

I have no idea what has gotten into me. No new blog posts after almost 2 months? So much has happened in my life since then.

-I'm almost done with my second quarter at school
-Christmas and New Years were both exciting
-Got to spend time with lots of family
-Just major life changes

I'm going to get back into the hang of posting once a day. Maybe its a way to help vent feelings for the day. I made a YouTube channel, and I thought maybe someday I would be a daily video poster. But that is very tough based on the fact that I get too crazy with the editing instead of keeping it simple and I don't really have a great working camera for video.

So this will have to do for now. But it's much easier because it doesn't take much time to do, and it almost seems more personal for some reason.

Cheer up as Spring is coming :)
