Inspiration From "500 Days of Summer"

Hi everyone.  It's been awhile.

For my next artwork, I decided to draw upon one of my favorite movies of all time....the indie romantic-comedy "500 Days of Summer".

I'll admit, I absolutely adored "500 Days of Summer"...despite what my friends and fellow male counterparts said.  Even though this film received mostly positive reviews from critics, it seems that a majority of my personal friends are no fans.  I just found that to be a bit weird because I thought this movie was funny, smart, and overall pretty realistic in tone and message.  Plus it doesn't hurt to have Zooey and Joseph on the set together.  Their chemistry just lights up the screen.

There is just something honest and endearing about Tom's character that is immensely relatable, where you can just really feel and experience what he is going through.  There were lots of brilliant moments in the film such as the popular "Expectations Vs. Reality" scene (see below), playing house at Ikea, and of course...the ending.

I'm not even that big of a Zooey Deschanel fan.....but I'll proudly say that I have a HUGE MAN CRUSH on Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Anyways, here is the original photo still from the film

Oooo- la- la Monsieur Joseph Gordon-Levitt <3

As most of you people know by now, I enjoy drawing pictures and renditions of things through my own sense/style.  My recent works have revolved around the theme of this random boy and mystery girl.  So I decided to use those two characters once again and drew this:

"Expectations Vs. Reality"

Again I have to apologize because I STILL do not have a pen/tablet....so I had to draw this strictly via my crappy mouse in less than a day.

Instead of using the L.A. backdrop where the movie took place, I obviously had to use Chicago for this piece (Chicago has a better skyline anyways).  This could use a bit more polish...but frankly I was getting quite impatient.

Anyways, hope you all enjoyed this.  Random boy and mystery girl are starting to step up in the sophistication...and I'm wondering what'll happen next. I'm already brainstorming new artwork ideas between these two to continue their story =D

More personal artwork....the story continues

Back again.

I really have been enjoying drawing random scenarios between this random boy and girl.  Got some pretty positive feedback from the previous one (thanks all). So here is another one for your viewing pleasure.

Boy just can't catch a break with girl.

Once I have enough time, I think I'll make this into a series or something.  It's alot of fun.

Picked up a new hobby, and HOLY POOP I'm back...for now

Hey ya'll~

Jeez, I totally forgot about this blog of mine these past few months.  Things have been pretty hectic so I guess this just completely slipped my mind....and after all the hard work I put into it too.

Well I have nothing really of any interest to say today except that thanks to the encouragement of some, I have recently picked up (or more precisely, re-kindled) a new hobby, which basically just consist of me just drawing whatever comes to my head on my computer.  I have alot of fun creating anime-like caricatures, despite the fact that I don't really watch anime.  Awhile ago I put up a hand-drawn animation that I drew  for a friend's wedding in a previous blog post.  I like to do things like that.

Since I do not own a pen/tablet, I had to do all of the artwork strictly by mouse alone, which can be a pain in the butt.  So please excuse the amateurish mistakes for now.  As time goes on, I will upload more of my stuff and hopefully improve during the meantime.
