Music for Artist?

Who speaks Russian? Well, I don’t. But I found this very awesome and so über Russian band that plays cool music. At first I thought I was only downloading some sort of instrumental album to be stocked and used in the near future for some video soundtracks but when I hit the play button and started to listen to it I found my head swinging and nodding and my body feels like moving with the beats. I guess my office mate was right. When I asked him why he listens to Arabic music for the fact that his an Indian (for sure he won’t understand a damn word from the lyrics)he just simply replied “Its about the music not the lyrics”. Because it is then now I understand what he means. It isn’t necessarily a must to know the lyrics to appreciate band music, it’s just a part of it, for as a whole the music has the beat, the tempo and the mood that sets you into it.

I’m indulging to this Russian band and I’m shaking my body to its beat, see, it just another piece of source to where I draw my emotions. Music can be everything and Musicians are artist, meet Muha.

Artemis Fowl Hype

I was surfing the net as I often do every afternoon when a site struck me. It was about a so called pre-casting for Artemis Fowl on the big screen. I immediately click on the link and to my dismay I found nothing but a bunch of fansites trying to make up there own chemistry for a possible Artemis Fowl movie. So with a little curiosity I tried to hit the search engine and look up for the actual site of might be true or just a hearsay up coming movie for Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl. I was not left hopeless for doing such idiotic act I say for honestly I found something interesting. Yes, much interesting that I was got hooked for a while, the actual Artemis Fowlsite.

It was very fascinating Eoin Colfer teamed up with a known comic writer Andrew Donkin and Disney illustrators Giovanni Rigano and Paolo Lamanna together they made a fabulous graphic novel. It was some kind of an evolution for a fantasy novel and somehow a good start before hitting the big screen. Now after the wizard boy I had no doubts that sooner this new boy genius with criminal mind might hit big time soon.

But for now just need to take some grabs of that well-illustrated graphic novels or either continue reading the story (since I just finished book 2 and im on my way for book 3).

How to do Vector Image?

Okey, I was talking on how vector mania hit the graphic world until early this morning a friend of mine asked me the question, "How do you vectorized a photograph?"
Well, its not so long since i learned this thing from a tutorial site
( www.tutorialized.com ) and from there i got a link from some one who tought its readers the things that they want to know
from a certain designing software.

So from this post i will be sharing the link where i've learned to do the vectorizing thing and from there on its up to you to explore the posibilities of vectorizing. Or somehow you might create your own shortcut in vectorizing ( like i do ).

But i must forewarned you, before you proceed with the tutorials at least equipt yourself with a basics of adobe photoshop and get to familiarized its tools (or any software you're about to use coz don't expect for the site to teach you how to use the mouse of your computer). For if not, you will find this tutorial a total shit and a pain in the ass.
