Wacom oh Wacom... Where for arte though Wacom...

So, for many years, I've been using my 6x8 wireless Graphire bluetooth WACOM board (http://snurl.com/j52n2)... but, my passion for art and drawing my toons has lead me to crave the Cintiq 21UX (http://snurl.com/j52mf) which is the the best on screen tablet.. well.. ever!!! The only problem is that the Cintiq is prices at $2,000. Saddly, I don't have that kind of cash flow now a days. Bah.. lets see how long it'll take me to achieve my goal to grab my own Cintiq... oh.. and if you would like to dontate to my new fund... =D... it'll be graddly appretiacted! =D

Drawing of Maddy '09

Maddy has gone through a lot of different changes since I first created him in 1995. This is what he looks like today... this drawing of him will be part of the new design of the new look of HTS-Comics.com =D

 

Had to do the coloring and stuff without the help of my WACOM tablet... I think it still came out great =]

Here's the food!!!

Made some Spaghetti with Chicken and mushrooms... all seasoned a la Hugo ;)

Mess in the kitchen (Yesterday)

This is the site of the kitchen when I was making some foods!!!

New HTS Comics - 5/26/09

Story Behind today's Comic:

Well... I got annoyed with the laptop today, one reasone is why I didn't computerize the drawing (I usually use my wireless bluetooth WACOM board to fix up my art and color it) and the other is due to it takes too long to do anything... Thanks Vista ={

It's been a while, but hopefully I will keep up with the daily or at least weekly posts.

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter (Yeah I just started using it a few weeks ago, now I'm addicted) at www.twitter.com/bluefire1181

and check out what else I'm up to, which also includes my twitter updates, at my website http://www.hugosaraiva.com/

 

NE Patriots... represent!

Just hung this up in my little nook/ office area =)

Happy Birthday Sergio!!!!!

Gears Sux

bah... I tried Gear of War 2... played it for like 2 minutes... and the turned the system off, i guess i just don't like that game =\ And now I gotta go to the post office and mail Gears2 back to Gamefly before they go stupid and charge me for the stupid game >.< and I think Gamefly costs too much. I know the game prices are high.. but damn it.. at least have a faster delievery like netflix... My copy has to come from Austin Texas... it take like a week to go either way. by the time I get the new game like a month has gone by.. and another $16 down the drain >.< .!. to you GF... or until you have better service... or let netflix buy you arses out!

During the night had something simular while everyone was sleeping... though didn't end up puking. it's just been shitty. =[ Hopefully today will be better.

The Skinny on Duke Nukem....

From Hugo's Blog

“Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms is shutting down, according to Shacknews. They cite ‘a reliable source close to the company,’ who said the developer is finished and employees have already been let go. It looks like all of the Duke Nukem Forever jokes are turning into reality; DNF might turn out to be the ultimate vaporware after all.”

Back to the Eye Doctors today =[

From Hugo's Blog

Bah.... Had to go back to the eye doctor, While at work, a co-worker noticed my eye red... so after a while when it began to burn, I decided to call the eye doctor to check it out... which I did.. Now I'm home til Monday when I go back. Kat and Marissa went to Kat's moms house so they won't catch anything. Doc said contagius for 24 hours... so about 2pm CST. =[

And the damn medicine drops was $33, and that was after insurance paid $8 =[ Look at the size of the damn bottle. This sucks.

The Results Are In...

Well... I haven't done as well.. as last month in losing weight... a lil bit less of portion control was done I guess. Been making homemade meals.. and bringing that to work.. instead of just a sandwich... I'm gonna start on that again I guess... 
So I lost 3 pounds... leaving 45.2 pounds to go till I reach my goal. 


Well... till next time... :P
