I've since begun my own blog with them, preferring its simplicity over blogger. As such, this shall be my (most likely) final post on this page. If I feel the need to comment on the blogs I regularly follow ON blogger, I will continue to use this username, but don't expect anymore updates here. <br /><br /><p align="center"><font size="3">Instead follow me to:</font><br /><font size="5"><a href="http://stuartlivingston.tumblr.com">My New Blog</a></font></p align><br /><br />Until my website is up (hopefully by the end of the year) you may continue to reference my work on the new blog, as well as what remains here.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />StuStuart Livingstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073005391765714699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189133540632433664.post-87041702514842642882008-08-06T21:42:00.000-07:002008-08-06T21:47:44.688-07:00Self-Portrait...<p align="center"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/Sketches/stretch_forweb.jpg"><br />...as an out of shape young man.

INSTEAD here's a quick update as to what I've been up to lately:<br />- After my previous gig doing storyboards for a web animation studio from May thru November, I took a week vacation w/ relatives in Puerto Vallarta - good times, hardly any drawing getting done though X-O<br />- Immediately after the vacation I'm back in LA starting my brand new job I've been at since; development and storyboarding for a major series to broadcast on Cartoon Network.<br /><br />I've never been a part of development before so I've had to really flex my creative muscles more than ever before (HEADACHES!...sigh, I'm good). Also, storyboarding for a traditional animation series is a serious far cry from web animation so this has presented even more challenges. All the while I've been commissioned to create a piece of animation for a music festival in early January, which I look forward to seeing once it's finished of course. All in all it's been a gloriously and PROUDLY stressful past month hopefully leading to major improvements on my current skillz (and maybe a litttttle break after the new year?).<br /><br />By mid january, I'll hopefully have gotten my groove back and gotten back to my OWN sheeit for once! (AAHH ;))<br /><br />c u r33l s00nStuart Livingstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073005391765714699noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189133540632433664.post-81228834910165022832007-10-31T16:25:00.000-07:002007-10-31T16:28:35.883-07:00GIGATON PUNCH!!!What's up everybody!

After some resistance (not too much) I gave in and put this one out, and here it is just for fun. After finishing it I felt much better, to my surprise! Embrace your childhood! Get a coloring book!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/sponge.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/spongethumb.jpg"></a><br />This is like meeting Spongebob down a dark alley...<br />"I'll get you the money, man, I swear!

Well this time it's her mom's bday and I did another quick one.

UPDATE:<br />So my GF's little sister had her 17th birthday and I thought I'll be a good friend and make her a digital painting! She loves to cook & is in fact very good at it, so I came up with this gift for her (which she apparently really likes, which is good):<br /><br />"Sarah's Kitchen" (nonstop credit to Nate Wragg for the inspiration for this piece)<br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/SarahsKitchen.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/SarahsKitchenThumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />As for what I'm doing now, my current storyboarding job continues to takes its toll. I've learned a tremendous amount about boarding as well as Flash in the past few months however, which has kept me very focused on my art as of late. Currently I'm working on a concept for a mural, designing my upcomign website, and I've begun writing the script for the animated short that I WILL make, I promise. Don't miss out on this! Goodnight everybody!<br />-StuStuart Livingstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073005391765714699noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189133540632433664.post-42177919918623883002007-08-04T16:33:00.000-07:002007-08-04T16:36:26.513-07:00ROBOTIC DANCE PARTY!!!So I'm back in Bakersfield for the weekend seeing family for Alma's 20th Birthday when my older sister Jennie asks me to draw her a picture of a robot. She's a recent graduate from SJSU's Mechanical Engineering program so robots are definitely her favorite. I sketched this up in just a few minutes so hope you all like it as much as she has!:<br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/C3PO.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/stubacca100/C3POthumb.jpg"></a>Stuart Livingstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073005391765714699noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189133540632433664.post-36118067237678897242007-06-11T21:43:00.000-07:002007-06-11T21:50:25.895-07:00Ben FoldsLast night I saw a great concert with my lady at the Hollywood Bowl: John Mayer featuring Ben Folds, and Roco Deluca & The Burden. Our seats were pretty good, the entire show rocked, but I was, in a difficult to determine way, extremely entertained by Mr. Folds in particular. I thought of this sketch in the car on my way home, inspired in particular by expressive sketches of <a href="http://n8wragg.blogspot.com/">Nate Wragg</a>.
