She wanted to go with something classy, but yet still have a simplistic cartoon/animated character feel about it.<br />

<br />
So yeah, it's been a long time I've updated. About 3 years technically. See, my life got got super busy and chaotic the last couple of years. Moving to a new home, and trying to make ends meet, and working as much as I can at my current job. This isn't an excuse, but it is a large factor for my absence. <br />
<br />
But if you've been keeping up with my <a href="http://www.lostinconfusioncomic.net/">WEBCOMIC</a>, you know that I've still been keeping busy artistically. I've also been doing a lot of freelance work. So I've not given up on my craft. Just been having to put focus elsewhere for the time being.<br />
<br />
I'm going try to post updates in the near future, and I've been working to find other work that will allow me more time to do stuff creatively.<br />

Yeah, I haven't posted on here in a while. Things have continued to be super-crazy with my job(S). Between my graphic design work at KSDG, my waiter job at Cheesecake Factory, my teaching job at the Ichen Art Academy, and my web-comic, I've not had much time to do other works. I'm hoping that will change in the coming months, but no guarantees.<br />
<br />
Well in the meanwhile, here is a penguin related-comic for LiC to show I'm still doing work.<br />
<br />
Thanks all,<br />

<br />
So I know I haven't posted much over the last few weeks. Been super busy with my three jobs, one of which has gone from intern to an actual job as a contract Graphic Designer for KSDG. It's not yet a full time job that I can use to quit my other jobs, but its a start.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I've finished another website for another one of my clients over at <a href="http://pacificphysis.com/index.html">Pacific Physis LLP</a>. Go check out the work I did building it all by myself. I'm so proud! :)Alain M.

The biggest new feature for the site is the new gallery setting that allows for visitors to look through the site faster and easier than before. Yeah, I know it's hardly a huge deal, as most websites have this system already in place, but as I'm not primarily a website programmer, it took me a bit to figure out this system's coding.<br /><br />Either way, I'm proud of myself!<br /><br />Go check it out!<br />Thanks,<br />AAlain M.

I've finally managed to sort out the coding for the site that will allow for me to be able to do proper galleries for the site. That'll help me save on data storage for the site, and also allow for the site to load faster on the server and properly other good stuff (I think at least).<br /><br />So if you go over there, don't be surprised if sections are missing or down. They'll be up again soon.<br /><br />A.Alain M.

I've been working three jobs over the last few months (Graphic Design Intern, Art Teacher and Waiter), so while I've been getting a lot of work done, I've not had a lot of time to update things on the website. Crazy, huh?<br /><br />Well, anyways, I've updated <a href="http://amdiazart.com/index.html">amdiazart.com</a> finally, so I invited anyone who is interested in checking out my stuff to go over there and do so. I've got a lot of stuff posted, all of which was done during my time as a graphic design internt at <a href="http://www.kevinstephensdesign.com/">Kevin Stephens Design Group</a>. This included the website that I designed and have been helping maintain with the Web Programer Sail White.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZPb7AqIVskoDA-fb4LTST6UJ8SssPIOrxoSAuQC494UJgkU-BooUQt0B5AOm31Vq9MHKklIL-UAI2S_6e1Q8ZVdecgJl_PnB-7YxxpvdBbhAGVyaeXuWAmfwDmEaBLOeT30Ovnkx7bIxU/s1600/ksdg_advertisement.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZPb7AqIVskoDA-fb4LTST6UJ8SssPIOrxoSAuQC494UJgkU-BooUQt0B5AOm31Vq9MHKklIL-UAI2S_6e1Q8ZVdecgJl_PnB-7YxxpvdBbhAGVyaeXuWAmfwDmEaBLOeT30Ovnkx7bIxU/s320/ksdg_advertisement.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716983741003442370" border="0" /></a><br />Also to be noted, <a href="http://www.lostinconfusioncomic.net/">Lost in Confusion</a> is still going strong, so I once again ask that people check it out.

This will keep people informed of stuff perhaps a bit faster than other things. I'm not sure how often I'll use it, because I'm terrible with this sort of thing, and I kinda find it a bit invasive, but, hey won't know if I don't like it, unless I try it. <br /><br />My twitter is on the site of here for those who want to check it out.<br /><br />AAlain M.

Things have been kinda crazy lately. I've been working at my internship job at KSDG of course, which has been going fantastic! Best job ever, really. I've been doing a lot of graphic design work for them, but alas, I can't post any of it yet, so, sorry, but you can't see any of it yet. Eventually, but not yet.<br /><br />Meanwhile I've also started working at Cheesecake Factory to help pay the bills. It's not the most ideal job for a young artist, but hey, I'll take whatever I can get to make sure that I can't surviving in SF.<br /><br />And as I hope most people are aware, <a href="http://www.lostinconfusioncomic.net/">LOST IN CONFUSION</a> continues. We had a small hiatus when I started my job at CF because of training and pulling double shifts between there and KSDG, but both seem to be back on track and back to normal.<br /><br />I'll hopefully be able to post more of my work when I can. In the meanwhile, here are a few comics that have already gone up over at LiC.<br /><br />A.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwL3BYvkIb4lhaYADyx138bcloxNyK3aXTsluS2P36xCieHpEAvVlTPskUt9DZeGx5LHsjL4exEE9yEGFNiDPbUCh0leelqpfwErICXzEpnh0TEM3Ln1PR_FHo8aSkYKYng-JWMoeRiYkS/s1600/lic_039.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 107px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwL3BYvkIb4lhaYADyx138bcloxNyK3aXTsluS2P36xCieHpEAvVlTPskUt9DZeGx5LHsjL4exEE9yEGFNiDPbUCh0leelqpfwErICXzEpnh0TEM3Ln1PR_FHo8aSkYKYng-JWMoeRiYkS/s320/lic_039.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685850656865125026" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2wxbSGieq9c8urd0TDbd58vBQQAKUV0xc7iQF3cblbX7i17OkaUQBQrlPpx9bMtJONqrctyX3NFcpB-pXxKb0n_nx8kpTjtaNhLTkGTe95K6wslDBCf_dQXs0GFo522wDTLjdePEDH4Qa/s1600/lic_026.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2wxbSGieq9c8urd0TDbd58vBQQAKUV0xc7iQF3cblbX7i17OkaUQBQrlPpx9bMtJONqrctyX3NFcpB-pXxKb0n_nx8kpTjtaNhLTkGTe95K6wslDBCf_dQXs0GFo522wDTLjdePEDH4Qa/s320/lic_026.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685850457079803762" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit9R4XTcFO2zXVsZ1OBSoP0bX_cm43bmR_9xvRbu9C9lf9yxRGtuBCTPhmz_6lydwXlN1m-8aKoYRuAba68N4tb7ubT-SXuGSzFMfe1IsXDtPdfElf1URRbDiRiXIV5uCnfiQWsiIL6-Y9/s1600/lic_025.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 107px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit9R4XTcFO2zXVsZ1OBSoP0bX_cm43bmR_9xvRbu9C9lf9yxRGtuBCTPhmz_6lydwXlN1m-8aKoYRuAba68N4tb7ubT-SXuGSzFMfe1IsXDtPdfElf1URRbDiRiXIV5uCnfiQWsiIL6-Y9/s320/lic_025.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685850451250026978" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwn847LZH_sds8cOqO9fElRJx2pLEy7lAsrkgJMCdYWumYmAlv6wzUDPQbn1PQqJ3wT437I6cZJgiQ4fR7GgmwOYCy2DjyeoC6tVTGGUkqCmXPJ_2bDULuuH5NgNV9eEkcr87qD0FJgbMK/s1600/lic_040.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 107px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwn847LZH_sds8cOqO9fElRJx2pLEy7lAsrkgJMCdYWumYmAlv6wzUDPQbn1PQqJ3wT437I6cZJgiQ4fR7GgmwOYCy2DjyeoC6tVTGGUkqCmXPJ_2bDULuuH5NgNV9eEkcr87qD0FJgbMK/s320/lic_040.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685850460133575138" border="0" /></a>Alain M.

If it gets too busy, I might have to scale back to twice a week, but for now that doesn’t seem to be the case.</p><p>Enjoy,<br />A.</p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_6rWKwk2l99S9GKG1LvNXAfqCG9k6NdjrmBOq12VNB5Jf04-IvqN98aturUk5FNuq8qkl_mirXkcbgA2XUZVykcY4n1mcA-h_lkbZD2H-AvpjTdTCsPlAfx9v7HqcTeoJ7BdlVUPgWms/s1600/lic_018.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_6rWKwk2l99S9GKG1LvNXAfqCG9k6NdjrmBOq12VNB5Jf04-IvqN98aturUk5FNuq8qkl_mirXkcbgA2XUZVykcY4n1mcA-h_lkbZD2H-AvpjTdTCsPlAfx9v7HqcTeoJ7BdlVUPgWms/s400/lic_018.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660103183632847826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiYg8L04qpA_YwsgbwQjV1P2P6P_E2muuGoPwgAUBZcNd5RXROGnVCiJRXRR-GBLIbr_fVT_9w9Tm1Rped8br6k0yHCOFnLLRObzsW_ZRmFxXs9EUCPbLnubUJlgFPeD0_j95vg6V02X3L/s1600/lic_017.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiYg8L04qpA_YwsgbwQjV1P2P6P_E2muuGoPwgAUBZcNd5RXROGnVCiJRXRR-GBLIbr_fVT_9w9Tm1Rped8br6k0yHCOFnLLRObzsW_ZRmFxXs9EUCPbLnubUJlgFPeD0_j95vg6V02X3L/s400/lic_017.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660103178709215810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1aTPfVrgA043XZJOBlPtUNN6aFA_XWdByWbQNF6pvgVpIksPS8BH19wBYJjJuw2Iw4RZsg1GNlSE3IZjHPBTnHYLzVWSVXyvMZ7RbVMmmC_Sn-UlFEBwuwyEVuT48XL5eMn1ClhjRmcw/s1600/lic_019.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1aTPfVrgA043XZJOBlPtUNN6aFA_XWdByWbQNF6pvgVpIksPS8BH19wBYJjJuw2Iw4RZsg1GNlSE3IZjHPBTnHYLzVWSVXyvMZ7RbVMmmC_Sn-UlFEBwuwyEVuT48XL5eMn1ClhjRmcw/s400/lic_019.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660103187222762354" border="0" /></a></p>Alain M.

After weeks of work and development, my web comic </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.lostinconfusioncomic.net/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">LOST IN CONFUSION</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> is up and running. As previously mentioned this is a reboot of my old Webcomic from a few years back and I never got a chance to take as far as I initially wanted due to the pressure of going to Graduate School.</span>
<br /><div style="text-align: left; font-family: arial;">
<br />But now that I've finished school, this seems like the best time to start it up again.
<br />
<br />The basic premise of the story is a quasi-autobiographical story, about a twenty-something named Luc and his group of friends (and a gun carrying penguin) and their various misadventures of work, school, dating, and commenting on the world itself.
<br />
<br />To visit the site go to <a href="http://www.lostinconfusioncomic.net/">http://www.lostinconfusioncomic.net/</a>

<br />So, as mentioned in a previous post, I've been working on rebooting my old web-comic "Lost in Confusion". I've been playing around with the art-style the character designs and of course whether or not to do color or black and white. The big thing I've been working on is simplifying the style. I want the comic to look more "Toon" than "Comic Book" in style. So that means less realistic anatomy, exaggerated features, and so on. My plan to be able to knock out these comics at least three times a week.
<br />
<br />The first strip of the comic is complete, and now I'm doing the next few pages. I'd post the comic up, but I'd like to get a few more ready ahead of time. Also, I'm working on a website to set up as well.
<br />
<br />But since I'm super-nice, I'm give you folks a sneak-peak of the comics.
<br />
<br />Enjoy,

It was a semi-auto biographical comic, which ran for a couple of years. Unfortunately as a result of the stress and work of grad school, I retired the comic far earlier than I wanted.<br /><br />Now that I'm out of school, I thought I'd maybe try my hand at rebooting the series. Since so much time has passed, I don't think picking up where the original story would work. I'd rather re-introduce the characters for new fans... also I'm rather embarrassed by my old art work from 4 years ago. :P<br /><br />I'm still working on overall character designs, but I thought I'd post up some concept sketches I've done for the primary cast.

With some tweeking, this is a better idea about what its going to look like later on. The background characters are lightened to allow the main character to stand out, and I worked on the rock a bit more. I'm already working on the color work, but I thought I'd put this up as an inidcator. I'm also working on some other comic pages for some other projects and the script for chapter 2.<br /><br />Busy, busy, busy...<br />AAlain M.

As many of you remember, the original cover was a bit...adult. And also not as dynamic. So I've been working on this alternate version for when I can afford to do an offical printing of the comic for conventions.<br /><br />Sorry the quality of the picture isn't at its best. I'll try and get a good scan up soon.<br /><br />AAlain M.

In short, as far as the Tennessee Senate is concerned, the idea of anything remotely non-heterosexual doesn't exist until 7th grade.<br /><br />This just makes me really sad.<br /><br />Despite what some people think, homosexuals do exist in Tennessee. Furthermore, many of them are raising children and having families and doing a damn good job at it too. So how fair is it to basically tell a child that talking about the two most important adults in their lives is an inappropriate subject in school just because they're the same gender?<br /><br />Equality and love are things we all want our children to have, isn't it? So why do people keep trying take those rights away from other people, who may include their own children?<br /><br />Believe in Love.<br />Believe in Equality.<br /><br />A.Alain M.
