The end of the summer

Well I gotta say it's been a nice summer so far, hopefully we still got a couple of weeks more here in the Pacific North West. However, you can already feel it's going away unfortunately.

Personally, I've been feeling accomplished regarding my artistic work this year so far. At least my Instagram account has been pretty active -- sorry guys for not updating the website as often as I should have, will try to get better at it. The website really needs to be pumped up by setting up a new way of uploading content (right now it's been very manual) and that's the main reason I've been slow here :) -- Well also remember I got a completely unrelated job and rent to pay .. oh well.
There are still many projects I'm trying to accomplish but I really need more time, I guess that's everyone's desire, isn't it? For now, doodles will keep being uploaded and hopefully a new short film or the last episode of Squad 37 will keep in production (there are already a couple of minutes made there).


On the other side, I spent a couple of days in Los Angeles this summer and after the third time going there I got to go to Universal Studios Hollywood. I had already been to Universal in Orlando and Osaka (Japan) and since they were quite similar, I didn't have huge expectations for this one. However two things: One the Studio Tour at Universal Hollywood is a MUST DO, it's just an amazing one hour ride that you cannot miss. Second, I was lucky enough to be there for the last day of the Jurassic Park ride, after about 22 years it was going extinct that one Monday night! Even though I was never a huge fan of such ride, it was a pleasure going there for one last time. It seems they are going to be working on a Jurassic World ride to open in 2019, so that'll be interesting to see and probably will need to book another flight to LA.

Finally, I've created a dashboard on Threadless.com: https://okcerk.threadless.com/
I'll be uploading my doodles there so that people can buy products with them in it. I'll have to start promoting it soon and see how that goes, but looks like a very interesting side business for artists so check it out!

Until the next time!
