Not Enough Hours In The Day

Well I picked up World of Warcraft. It is
pretty awesome so far. I have already made it 
to level 13. There is so much to this game. 
Crafting weapons and armor, training beasts, 
and numerous quests make this one time 
consuming endeavor. Now that I have this game, 
I have the uneasy feeling that my GPA may take 
a nosedive. Why must they release such awesome 
stuff? Well, Locke finally finished the 
character pages for Leena and Hobbes. I will 
be working on turning them into some nifty 
wall papers. I hope you like the strip today.

The World Cannot Teach Me

We're getting closer to introducing Keys. 
He's one of my favorite characters to draw 
and he should add some great humor to the 
strip. Also the Hobbes and Leena character 
pages are up. They turned out fairly well. 
I'm rather fond of the coloring. I'm slowly 
getting better at this whole comic thing.
 
Well the year's about up and school is 
almost out. I have to say its been a pretty 
alright year. Now I won't do this very often, 
because I find the idea of complaining to 
people a waste of time. I don't want to bitch 
about my life (unless its about video games), 
but I figure I got nothing else to do in this 
space so here goes:
 
My teachers are all fine, except for one. This 
has been a recurring factor through my career 
as an art student, but I have not met an art 
teacher who has actually tried to teach me 
something. I don't know if its just this lousy 
town or if its like this everywhere, but all 
through high school and now into college, my 
art teacher SUCKS.  Using all caps does not 
emphasize the amount of how much I hate this 
man. He doesn't actually teach anything. He 
pulls a lesson from god knows where, and says 
"Do it." He then sits down and begins to read. 
Now I already know how to do the lesson, having 
had done the whole damn semester during high 
school, but thats not what gets me. Its the 
fact that he's not even trying. He's not 
telling certain steps that need to be taken to 
get from point A to point B. And when someone 
does ask a question he acts like its some big 
deal. Like telling students how to do something 
wasn't in his job description. You're a freaking 
teacher! Teach them the steps on how to draw, 
don't just hand out an assignment and expect 
them to know how to do it. Students are there to 
learn, they have very little prior knowledge. So 
I just want to say thank you Mr. Chinov, for 
giving me another horrible art class experience.  
Dick.
 
Again, in the future this space will be reserved 
more toward video games and the like. I just had 
to get that off my chest.
