FALLON NV trip

I chopped up the video I shot from our trip to Melinda's parents in Fallon NV.

BELVEDERE 1

BELVEDERE 1 from Jared Cunningham on Vimeo.

In a peaceful Indiana town, drugs turn peaceful suburbs into violence and depravity. A old man and a french bulldog, knee deep in blood and dead bodies, race to stop a mad man from opening the gates of hell.

Really that's all bullshit. This is my first test run using iMovie and my flip digital camera. Sorry the quality sucks, I think exporting the flip's native AVI as MP4 is the reason.

More to come.

Holy Wowzers!! Really Since Septiembre?!?

Hello,

It's been almost 7 months since my last blog entry. I think that means it's dead. Good thing for me It's named after the living dead so live on it shall.

SHIT! I've been busy, started a new job and back to the flames. In a lot of ways I love being under the gun and under the pressure. Pressure helps soldiers not to flinch when their friends get blown-up beside of them. I'm learning a lot again, which is wonderful, but I do need to balance work and life a little better, Belvedere is starting to get jealous.

No, silly, not the TV show about a jolly, sophisticated butler. Belvedere is our badass french bulldog. He rocks, he has the facial expressions of a toad and the ass of a landfill and we love every minute of it.

Still doing the diet thing, I've dropped over 60lbs now, so I'm proud of that, I just need to find the time to workout more.

Lately, other than work I'm either asleep or playing video-games as usual. You know Jared is working too much when the latest piece of GTA has been out for 12hrs and I haven't touched it. Maybe hell is freezing over with the economy. I'm also really into THE WATCHMEN graphic novel right now, I can't wait for the movie. The book is so good though that you'll catch me twittering quotes from it. I've gone on a trailer watching freeze until I finish. Everyday on my way to work I drive by a wall covered in WATCHMEN posters and I get giddy.

When I have free time and I can actually stomach being in front of a computer I'm illustrating. I'm not really working on any projects at the moment. Right now I'm just trying to improve my game, get faster, and become much more figurative. It's funny how actually learning new techniques can make you more efficient. I'm a creature of habit and I'm currently trying to kill that creature.

Well that's it, I want a mac.

Peace

Moving Pictures > Non-Moving Pictures

If anyone has the privilege to chat with me throughout the day knows I am certifiably retarded. I can't spell worth shit, my sentences run on and on and I usually leave words out altogether. So to alleviate some of the torture I'm going to start uploading some video posts. Nothing crazy, well probably nothing exciting either but hey, it's video, you don't have to read it.

Not to startle you to much this first post is a short clip of the most amazing cat ever made, Sushi. The sounds you hear in the background are from the new, I mean rip-off, called WIPEOUT. I'd rather watch MXC any day of the week.

Fallout 3 Teaser Brings The Garbage

I <3 <3 <3 cool music and how it can drastically shape the aesthetic in movies and video games. This Fallout 3 teaser is a perfect example. I've been excited for this game for a while now, I read the description of the teaser and was expecting only a faint smell, but got a tasty bite.

Go Away Week. Go! Away!

It's only hump day and this week already feels 14 days long. This has probably been the most dramatic week this year. Hopefully the rest of it sails by easily but with the schedule being what it will I don't see that happening.

Like the Sushi(cat)would say: "When life come fuckin wit chu, baroo that motha fucka off a piece of ass-whoop cake with a side of shit talk. Then knead yo furry ass into unconsiousness. Sharpen up the ear-hawks and keep it pimpin cousin."

That's what she told me, I swear

Recent Projects

I haven't updated anything in a really long time so tonight I present a flood of blog posts (See below).

Here though are a couple of my more recent illustration projects. The first are a set of wine labels for an independent winery out of the bay area and second is an invitation for a baby shower for a couple of friends. Upside-down bullies are the best.





Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. Mine was filled with illegal fireworks while the cops were around the corner, beer and lots of naps.

45lbs Fatterless

It's been almost six months since I started this diet and it's been going good. I'm a little more than 45lbs down and I'm really starting to feel better.

Up until a couple of weeks ago I thought I deleted my starting point pictures but after going through my camera folder there they were. So I put together some quick comparisons for my own satisfaction. I linked to the images because I didn't want to frighten anyone by posting them directly.

For Tee Too

It was about that time. I saw a deal that was pretty good and I jumped. I no longer have to subject my poor Dell monitor to xboxing, but he liked it. Now the sexy Ms. Philips is getting all the xboxing she can handle and then some. Hope she is ready to try some Blu-ray. The edges look a little strange because I still have the plastic protective film over the glassy frame, waiting for a couple weeks until I'm in my new place.

VWOMMM!

Illustrator sketch N S F Double OOOOoooohh

Here are a couple illustrator sketches I was messing around with. That mask has become like the goto for any new little thing I want to try in illustrator. It will probably get posted many more times in many more variations.

Take it easy and don't forget GTAIV comes out on the 29th. If you don't hear from me you know why...

XBOX You Got Redness Around Ur Ring

I leave for a few days and what the fuck do I get to come home to? An XBOX 360 that's obviously been slutting itself up and down the block. Shame on you XBOX, shame, on, YOU! Now I have to go and send it to Rehab to get detoxed and covered in ointment.

I thought I had a innocent one but like 33% of the XBOX population, mine's a dirty whore too.

SLUT!

Adios Amigo :(

Today is a sad one for us. While I was cleaning and rearranging some things I realized that I haven't heard our turtle Stinky for a couple of days. Usually we don't but his food didn't look like it was eaten. So I looked in his box and found him dead in the back next to his towel.

Who knows where our Stinky friend came from. He was found over two years ago deep in the streets and was brought to the vetrinarian that my girlfriend Melinda worked at. he looked like he had seen some things, his shell was beat up, speckled in paint and chipped away. Melinda adopted Mr. Stinks and brought him to my house since she didn't have the room. He lived with us for over two years and he was a great addition to the family. He will be missed and we will always have a special place in our hearts for this unsocial little clackster.

3 Down A Shitload More To Go

I've lost 3lbs this week on diet alone. I had to wait until today to get the green light from my doctor on whether or not I can work out, AND I CAN WOO HOO.

Get In Muh BEEELLLYYY!!

Zombie Pixel <3s GTAIV

Yesterday marked a good day for all GTA fans. Not only did all the big websites release large previews but in my inbox this morning was that image above with the final drop date. It looks like Jared will be taking the 29th of April off.

Wasted!

Zombie Pixel <3s the LOC

Pretty fun weekend, went and saw Cloverfield with Ryan and Jen, loved it. We went and watched the blood bath that was UFC 80, loved it. Went and enjoyed some bbq and NFL playoffs over at Timmy's house, loved it. Finished season 1 of Dexter, loved it. Zombie-shopped a photo of a hazmat worker from the Library of Congress flickr feed just to create a reason for someone like you to read this post and click this link to enjoy these photos.
