Packing up…

Posted in Other on November 8th, 2008 by g-t3k

We finally started packing up for the move to San Fran.  We don’t have too much to pack, fortunately, as our movers are going to be packing anything “breakable”. Apparently just about anything is breakable by their definition, so that just leaves us with books, clothes, and my studio supplies.  It’s satisfying to get rid of any extraneous junk.  At the same time, this will be our fourth move in four years, so we’ve already weeded a lot out along the way.

Moving is always a little bittersweet, though.  Last time we moved, the studio Mike was working at had closed, and many of our friends had already moved away.  There was little keeping us in Dallas near the end, and we were ready for a change of scenery.  

This time’s different, though.  We’ll be leaving some really great friends.  That’ll make it harder this time around.

Missing in Action

Posted in Other on October 1st, 2008 by g-t3k

Nope, I haven’t disappeared… just been mega-busy.  Had a whole summer without much work, and suddenly, I got swarmed.  

…It’s a good thing!  I swear!  

I’m working on a few really cool projects- a website, and two large projects for Liquid.  One of the gigs is particularly suited to my style. Plus it means I’ll hopefully have a big wad of cash after all is said and done (Ha!  Yeah, right!) ;) But it means I’m not going to be posting too much new art until the schedule dies down a bit… such is the life of a freelancer.

The Omnivore’s Hundred

Posted in Culture, Other on August 28th, 2008 by g-t3k

Not an art-related post, but I found this list from a blog titled Very Good Taste and it seemed like fun. I’ve tried 37 of the 100.  The original post can be found here. 

 

Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers. Read more »

Welcome to RKTBlog!

Posted in Announcements, Other on May 19th, 2008 by g-t3k

I’ve never been terribly good at this blogging thing. I’ve given it a few shots before, and never with much success. English is kinda my second language, which is funny because I don’t speak anything else… …unless you count the language of visuals, which I do. Writing takes me a long of time, and speaking probably should, considering the jibberish that can come out of my mouth.

So why should I try blogging again?

For those who don’t know me, I am an illustrator and designer. Actually, that’s the short list; I’ve been known to dabble in a lot of things, including video, animation, fine arts, and now screenwriting. I’m interested in everything creative, although I can never find enough time to satisfy all those urges. It’s hard to sustain a creative life in a world constantly demands the next rent check and lately, I feel like I’ve lost focus.

So, I’m establishing this page as a sort of online sketchbook. I’ve often considered myself an “art exhibitionist”, and my best work is usually done in the open. I also love discussing the theories behind art and design. I’ve taught a number of college level classes, and in talking to my students and preparing for classes, I would often become inspired to push my own work farther.

At any rate, I plan to update this blog a couple of times a week. I’m setting a modest goal in the hopes that I can keep it up. I hope you enjoy my work and come back soon!
