Music That Insire Me: Anamanaguchi

So what can I say about this band. It was one of my latest discoverys thanks to a close firend of mine and stuck to me when ever I draw. This band is an chiptune indie rock band out of NYC who "makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985."

What makes their music interesting is that they incorperate both traditional instruments along with electronic sounds. Listening to them always gets me ideas for anything related to technology, including retro 80's style works. I also like them because I grew up with 8 bit games and hearing it takes me back to times that I played mario bros.

One other cool thing about the band is that they also did the sound track to the Scott Pilgrim game, which I highly recomend listening and playing.

The band can be found here at http://anamanaguchi.com/ along with free tunes from their 2010 summer tour. Enjoy.

15mm Sci-Fi: old photos

So for a couple of years I have started a 15mm sci-fi project. One that continues to this day. I remember taking some photos of it with my parants old digital cam, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted to. I took these for the Gruntz 15mm yahoo group (which they are not up any more) and thought I share with my audience of ... one? Oh well, here they are.

This is one of the older models from when I first started (around 3 years ago). I went with a forest camo with base of grey. It will be in the process of being repainted soon to mach with my new stuff.

Part of my New Israeli hard suit force. I've painted them up with my old ones being repainted.

And So Our Story Begins

Here I am, off to start a new venture on the internet. This is my first blog which will cover all manor of things. My hobbies in 15mm sci-fi wargames, my art, and my attempts to creat a webcomic. I already have a DeviantArt page going, but for the past oh, six months I've been in a slump. However I hope to change that withing the next few months.

Now a little about myself. I'm an 18 year old college student trying to get by. Some would describe me as creative, which I would agree to some degree. Meny things go in my head such as stories (mostly fantasy/sci-fi), characters, settings, and game ideas both computer and tabletop. My main focus right now are three things, 1) find job, 2) write/draw comic, and 3) continue with making tabletop games.

Hopefully this blog would be a tool for me to do these things, and so our story begins...
