Artist of the week: Jason Chan

Alright this time we're going to Asia.Found a guy called Jason Chan,LOVE his art work.He was actually born and raised in California and currently works at Massive Black.He's inspired by video games and fantasy as is reflected in his art work.His work is very clean and i love the dreaminess he puts in his art.Some of his characters look like their minds are faaaaar faaaaaar away,day dreaming,lost in their own minds,I love it!
So without further ado I present my favourite Jason Chan pics.... (by the way his website is www.jasonchanart.com )

Back again for the first time....

Im so sorry I have neglected you my dear blog!
But Im back!
Its been a slow month.Iv spent most of it at home on Twitter or Facebook (those sites will be the death of me!) and sleeping.shame on me.
But I have been doing some work here and there.Studying to take a GMAT test early next year so that i can apply for a scholarship in Finland.The text book isn't here though and the deadline to hand in my application (January 31st) might not be reached because the GMAT results take 3 weeks to be released and i can only take the test exactly 3 weeks before the deadline *shaking my head*,just my luck.I'm feeling so discouraged now but trying to find another way of making this work out :(
As far as work goes I'm still unemployed,and with each month that passes a bit of my self esteem goes with it,I didnt think I'd still be asking mother for pocket money 7 months after graduating.But I'm trying not to lose hope.Something needs to work out for me!!At least one thing!!!Just one!!!sigh.
The only one good thing or shall i say person making everything bearable currently is my bestie (best friend) Bk.He cheers me up when Im miserable and keeps chanting the mantra's that most people would be tired of tellin me by now: "stay positive,dont let it get you down,focus on gettin things movin, visualize the end goal" etc.Bless his soul.He came to see me today,bought me cake as well.sigh, what more do I need?
I think anyone else would have been sick and tired of me by now cz if there's one thing Im good at, its worrying!!No one can out-worry me except probably my mother,lol.That woman is the all time champ!
Rap artist Wale recently released his new album "Attention Deficit" and I am in love with him!!!No not cz he's cute or anything (which admittedly is usually the criteria I use to judge an artist) but because he's actually RAPPING!!!Many hip hop artists nowadays are just stringing words together that happen to make sentences that rhyme;quite a sad state of affairs really.No one tells stories anymore or addresses specific issues that affect the majority of the population even if its just about gold diggers (shout out to Kanye West!).Everyone wants to rap about how great they are or the latest new dance craze.His album however doesn't show case his real skills,i think his mixtapes do though.And i think true hip hop fans who hate the mass production nature of the music being released nowadays might appreciate Wale quite a bit.Give him a chance!!!
And on that note its time for me to go to bed,put my headphones on and fall asleep listening to "The Remake of a remake(All I need)" from Wale's "A mixtape about nothing".
Goodnight world! :)

Breaking the rules....

As kids we are constantly told what is right and wrong with the aim of helping us develop into people with a good moral compass.
The irony is though for the most of us we do the opposite.See the one thing they don't tell you and that you discover for yourself is that sometimes in life we will break the rules to achieve some of the goals we want to achieve and surprise surprise it will sit fine with you.Because....well,thats just life.There is no black and white,right and wrong,its actually just grey and there are only degrees of right and wrong.
The older you get though,the more you should know better.But we still do it,we lie or swear or cheat or steal or judge people or treat people badly etc.As young children when we break the rules we have inexperience and the ignorance of youth to hide behind.When we are adults and we know what all the lessons are,what excuse do we have?
