Our faculty (who, ironically, aren't considered faculty by the administration and as such get paid almost nothing)

These are two of my classes... You probably don't understand wtf is going on




Yeah.

The electron and the photon

I haven't updated this site for over a month, though probably no one cares. But either way here it is.

This is from my nuclear structure and radiation interactions with matter class. Dr. J, the class's instructor, and I had an idea of including a few of these types of comics in the new edition of her textbook, but we both eventually kinda forgot about it, and it faded away to the depths of our memory. 'Tis what remains.

Another draft of the logo

I was unhappy with the interface between the main logo and the background, so I did some fading photoshop work for this draft:

Revised logo

Since Mark is a whining bitch, he demanded he be edited. So I did some photoshop work:
And also since this is a project that's to be on the moon, I thought it would be appropriate to have this background:


We are the mooners

Design team Logo

"The Mooners"

The Incredible Surge

People ask me why I have a TV in my apartment but no cable. Here is why:

Moral of the story: Don't get Comcast

Adventures of Da Shet

I'm not the Tiger Woods of Frisbee Golf

Conclusión orgásmica de la Eurocopa

Self explanatory


PS: My apologies for the poor quality scanning. Blame ITaP and their inability to have Photoshop for the summer. WTF?

3 more drawings and a football rant

Good morning, viewers of my sketches of surreal dreams, visions, and hallucinations.

Today, I present you three new entries. The first two are self explanatory, illustrating my struggle with insomnia and excessive caffeine.



This one has the player that has been called by media worldwide the best player in the world. I disagree with such ludicrous assessment. I consider Cristiano Ronaldo to be one of the most, if not the most, skillful footballer today. That does not necessarily make him the best. From what I have observed, there are three main things that separate him from the likes of Kaká, Messi, or Zidane (back in the day).

Firstly, he is a fucking whiny pussy, as was seen yesterday against Germany. It's been repeatedly shown that he is a prick, a diver, and an actress. Yesterday, I think it was Bastian Schweinsteiger (sp?) that tackled him, then leaped to avoid colliding against a Cristiano Ronaldo who was, unsurprisingly, already down calling for a foul. As Schweinwhateverhisnameis skipped him, Cristiano Ronaldo started rolling on the floor acting as if Schaelrhsejlanfnl had stomped on his shin, though I am sure there was no contact after the initial tackle. But that is just an example of his many antics. Brits remember the incident during the world cup in 2006 when he incited the referee to show his Man U teammate, Wayne Rooney, a red card. Whether or not the red card was deserved is a different matter, but that is not what you do to your club teammate. And now he is backstabbing his club, Man U, flirting with the shittiest team in the world, Real Madrid. What a fucking douche. I hope he goes there so I can channel all my contempt to the Spanish capital. Also, though I am no fan of the German National Team, I am very glad that Portugal are out. Deco showed he has more balls than the overrated ballerina will ever have.

Secondly, he repeatedly performs the same magic trick in the most important games. With the flick of a hand, he disappears for extended periods of time. Whether it is an extension of him being a pussy who cannot handle the pressure or it is him being marked out of the game, or a combination of both, it does not matter. This has happened so consistently in big games that it cannot be reasonably attributed to an off game, or whatever excuses his fan boys come up with. It is not a trait of a great player. The likes of Pelé, Maradona, Van Basten, Zidane, Cruyff (except the '74 final, of course), et al have consistently lived up to their expectations with awe inspiring performances when it most mattered, not in a match against Derby or Reading.

And lastly, but most importantly, a skillful player is nothing if he does not have the brain to make use of the trickery. He seems to be mentally retarded on the ball, not counting games against the likes of Wolverhampton or Birmingham, where he has kilometres of free space to afford to be a moron on the ball but still punish even more retarded overly eager Brit defenders (this is why, in my opinion, his season statistics are so flattering). But against good, or even decent, teams where defenses are organised and well positioned, an extra touch or extra fraction of a second holding on to the ball can lead to your offense running against a wall. I've seen this happen so many times with him, and I wish I had the memory and resources to come up with detailed examples. But the one that most sticks to memory, not because of magnitude but because it was yesterday, is in Portugal's goal. Cristina showed great technical skill controlling Simao's pass and setting himself against Lehman, but he took an extra fraction of a second to shoot the ball, leading him to a worse angle facing the goal. Fortunately for Portugal, the bounce fell on Nuno Gomes's boots and from there to the goal net. But in many other instances I have seen countless examples of CR's poor, or questionable at best, decision making. This may also be related to him being a pussy and making bad decisions under pressure.




OK, so the post turns out to be longer than I expected it to be. And though this is an art blog to post my drawings, those of you who know me personally knew it was only a matter of time before I talked about football. I could go on forever. By the way, the other guy next to Ronaldo is Javier, some Manure fan boy.


On another note, this makes June the most prolific month of this blog's history. OK, this isn't saying much, but that's beside the point.
I'll draw some more shit and post it later.

Bye

A dream

Although the title of this website is "Sketches of one surreal dream", none of my posts includes the product of an actual dream. Lately, though, I've been having dreams so bizarre that I feel compelled to sketch them into comic strips to document them and hope I can find some sort of pattern. Maybe then I'll be able to interpret what the dreams are about. Standing by themselves, they are like an acid trip.The first frame shows me skateboarding along a grocery store lane. I would like to clarify that I've never done skateboarding, and I have contempt to those who cause any kind of chaos in a public space, such as skateboarding in a grocery store.
The second one shows a pretty lady that I've never seen before saying something I cannot understand. I notice her pupils are dilated, so I ask her if she's stoned.
It is not worth trying to decipher what this dream means by itself; maybe along with other dreams I plan to sketch in the future I'll come up with an analysis. For now, it is pretty entertaining, mainly because of its incoherence.

Clever inspirational phrases

My posts usually involve an offensive drawing. But lately I have seen these phrases that are meant to be inspirational but only inspire my rage because of its sheer stupidity.

For example:
"Aim for the stars, if you miss" you are fucked. If you miss badly enough you will be far from any gravitational field that you will just be floating about. Otherwise, you'll fall right back on your ass.

"Friends don't let friends do [insert something]". Really? So your friends are your parents, huh? I don't know what kind of dipshit friends you have, but I trust my friends to make their own choices. If they want to do something to fuck themselves, then let it be.

So next time you want to think of something clever to sell stickers or shirts, remember this phrase: Shut the fuck up. Not unlike "Silence is golden", only that in this case there is no room for ambiguity.

The joy of Electromagnetism

I've received complaints that I haven't updated the website in the last few months. While this is true, I've also been busy as shit, and still am. This is why this update is a scan of the very original sketch "in situ" (Yes, I'm being a snobby bastard. This means that this image was taken "as is", with no retouches on nicer paper and an actual sketching pen).

This basically consists on the "note taking" that I did in my electromagnetism class. In about two weeks, there will be more updates. Stay tuned

Another one with Mark

Here's another one where The Catfish is the protagonist. As you can see, I used a different approach in transferring the image data digitally, this time making the outlines reddish (though I wasn't able to obtain the colour I was looking for) and a little photoshopping. I don't think it looks as good, at least on the website, as it is too big and it makes it hard to read the captions.

Here's another take of the same one that I like better (let me know what you think):

So some of you might be asking who the hell this Cat Food guy is. He is the author of the masterpiece below:

I do not hate the Catfish Tender, but I am jealous he was able to come up with such a masterpiece. That is why I broke his jaw and his nose.

"Having the last word"

This is not my first "comic strip", but thus far my favourite one. Of course it's not realistic physically as I do not have a hand large enough to wrap it around Catata's neck, let alone choke him, not to mention that it would take a really fucking strong man to lift Catata with one arm. But, besides of the Catfish being choked, I like the perspective of the drawing and the thought of Mark finally shutting the fuck up.

Also, I am not an expert with transferring sketches to digital form, so I was just fooling around with Photoshop. I like the outlines blue the best, but let me know what you think.

First post, nothing new

Greetings friends, stalkers, and random web surfers


This is where I intend to post my "artwork" if it may be called that, or just scribblings and mini comic strips. I recently started a new series based on a common theme, but I do not currently have a scanner available, so you will have to wait. As for now, I'll try sleeping a little.
