comic: zits

One of my favorite comic strips is Zits by Jeremy Scott and Jim Brogman. I have been reading this since my high school days. The comic strips can usually be read on Sunday the star. It is about a boy named Jeremy. He is a high school student. He got a girlfriend called Sara, two friends ; Hector and Pierce. They would appear in the comic here and there. What I like about this comic is that Jeremy is the typical high school guys that we all can relate to. He is a lazy, sarcastic guy with minimal communication. They would usually show the relationship between the parents and him. It is really interesting to see the way he acts with them since he's in his teenage life and facing the identity crisis stage.

wedding photography really touched my heart. the beautiful moment where two people are being united and promise to stay committed to each other forever. I saw a video of the wedding ceremony. Before exchanging their vows, the minister, who is a friend of the bride and groom, rap on how they met. they met during the sept 11. he was on the way to the groceries and they bump into each other on the hallway. on the day where people lost their love ones, they found their love ones; the irony. the got married on sept 9, 2011 in a beautiful garden wedding and surrounded by their loved ones. the picture is when the minister is rapping about their relationship while they're at the altar.

ONE

There's only one earth and we need to take care of it.

mother's love

in this picture, the mother is holding a baby. the mother is the mother-nature and the baby is the earth. we must help mother-nature to help fight global warming.

road to destruction?

I was inspired when i saw a busy road. So I've decided to draw a road and it's heading to the earth. The earth is full with tall building and very darkish. It looks like it dying. It's like we are on the road on the earth destruction.

the earth in the mirror

In this sketch, the earth is looking into the mirror. The real image of the earth is on the right. It's dirty, polluted and dying but when it look into the mirror, it sees itself as this happy serene place. The earth have a distorted image of itself. It's in denial of it's condition. This also can reflect the people living in the earth. We do not have the idea of the real condition of the earth. We're in denial.

dining with the earth

the first sketch is a picture of someone trying to cook the earth. what i'm trying to convey here is that we are trying to destroy the earth. We are making the earth our food and eating the earth. In another way, it's like we're killing the earth.

the second sketch is basically has the same idea. but instead of cooking, we are eating the earth. We killed the earth and having it as our dinner.

Global warming?

When it comes to global warming the first thing that comes to my mind is the earth. This is because global warming is something that is happening to the earth right now due to the people carelessly living life and being ignorance of the earth.

While playing with the idea of earth I came out with this idea of water. Global warming causes the rises of the sea level due to the melting of the ice in the arctics. Water fits perfectly with the theme of global warming too. Thus, I'm trying to combine the idea of earth and water for my project.
