pichurs

[mood - TIRED AGAIN geez]
[music - mediaevel baebes - la volta]

cos blogger is easier to upload and post photos to than the usual FTP and HTML nonsense I'd have to go through otherwise :D Hope you enjoy. These are my PICSHURS from my trip to San Diego/Carlsbad for the Illustrators of the Future award. These are taken by my dad or me~


The hotel outside~ which is right across from the beach! It was a wonderful little hotel, very clean and SO providing! Free cookies 24 hours a day!


Overlooking the beach *_* There were cliffs over all the beach so you either had to walk about half a mile to get to flat ground or climb down the cliffside to get to the beach.


moar beach!


the ocean *_* i have never been to the oceanside before this so it was a wonderful treat. The ocean is GORGEOUS and this is the Pacific ocean of course which didn't smell bad at all though it tastes terrible.


Me and Laura, another illustrator winner on the beachside.


Sunset on the beach. I like the one little fisherman guy :D


HAY LOOK I KNOW THESE GIZE! More illustrators, who are all AMAZING people. Left to right: Tamara, from Halifax, Canada; Melanie from Perth, Australia; MEEEEEEE OMG; James from Chicago; and Kim from Boone :D I roomed with Kim on my stay there. This is on the patio eating lunch which was served to us~


Eldar, who is from Uzbekistan, and Olga, who is from Kiev, Ukraine. Olga did NOT like her picture being taken, which is a same because she is such a beautiful woman. I love her style so much. She is also very talented. Eldar was the gold award winner for the Illustrators! :D


THE STAGE for the gala ceremony thing. Ok, the large photo of L. Ron Hubbard looking like a pedophile IS really creepy but it made for many good jokes about him looking DOWN ON THE PEONS DISAPPROVINGLY!


zomg me on stage giving my speech~! EEEK!


Nate and his new wife signing boooooks~


Me and the author of the story I illustrated, Brandon, who was also the gold winner for the Writers. Very attractive face there, Brandon :P


Aw~~ Alex and Xaymara :3



Moar illustrators; Nate from Seatttle; Miguel from San Diego; Ozzie from Jersey; Melanie again.


I will have more at some point.. these are just what I have atm.

I hope you enjoyed~ Looking at the pictures makes me feel all depressed and yet really warm and fuzzy at the same time. I miss my new friends and I miss the lovely weather and the beach and all, but all the same I get a very nice feeling from having done this.

I will also have sketches at... some point or another in the future, I have found the love of a moleskine sketchbook + micron pen *_* sketchy sketchy~

What a beautiful seaside! Looking at these makes me miss the ocean, I've only been to it twice in my life (both being the mediterranean, the Adria and Costa Brava). Am I the only one who likes the taste of saltwater? Maybe the pacific tastes different xD
What is Patio? :0
