Lots of eyes and a silhouette.

So I totally remembered that today our digital illustration class was supposed to make 2 eyes with additive and subtractive elements. I was so caught up in Project 1 and the seven sketches we have to do that I almost forgot about all the other stuff. (Not to mention we also have to start preparing stuff for Project 2 already!) It's almost overwhelming but regardless, I always pull through with a positive attiude and still managed to get my eyes in. I made a cool additive one, with aliens adding a new element to the eye I created. I then started subtracting elements out of my second eye and was very pleased at the egyptian-esque qualities that were coming out. I then made it brown to add to that egyptian aura that this eye was telling me. Here are the results:




I also have to post all the eyes we have been doing in class so far on here so here they are, including the alien eye and egyptian-esque one:



Speaking of preparing stuff for upcoming project 2, We had to make a silhouette of a picture that was taken of us. We also have to post this up here. This silhouette isn't the final product, but it will look A LOT better when it is finalized and finished with cool designs inside of it. Here's stage 1:



I guess that's about it. I finshed all the things I needed to do for Project 1 and this eye/silhouette stuff. Now I have to watch that Lynda.com video and finish 4 more sketches in my sketchbook. Oh yeah, I have to write about 30-40 things about myself huh? Dang this is going to be a long night.

Some of my best work

Here are some examples of some of my work. You know, since I'm a Graphic Designer and all.

Made this artwork for TOKiMONSTA's song single called "The World Is Ours" It feels pretty good seeing this on her myspace when you play the song.



Made this promotional artwork for an online publication called Brute-iful.com. They do reviews of Underground Hip hop artist albums and various other stuff. Check their stuff out at http://www.brute-iful.com


Made this for the CSUF Anime Club. It's supposed to be a parody of the NERV logo in Evangelion. Check out the Anime Club at

Fullerton Arboretum logo I made for Graphic Design A. This should probably replace the current one they use right now.

Long Day Today.

So today was pretty much a "get all your school supllies day". Went to the bank to withdraw some money then went to school. Got my art history book and my sketchbook that I need for Hill's class. Then went to Best Buy in Fullerton to go get that new Intuos 4 Wacom Tablet that came out. I wanted the medium sized one, but they didn't have it there but they told me that the one located in Orange did. But I took a break and went to my grandmas nieces house and chilled there for a little while. After that was over with and done I finally went to the Best Buy location in Orange and got that medium sized wacom tablet and satisfied my heart's desire. I then got some McDonald's and went home. Once I got home I opened up that badboy out of the box and I must say I am very impressed with the things it comes with and its interface. The new Intuos 4 wacom tablets have a more sleeker design and can accomodate right-handed or left handed people. It comes with the grip pen,a mouse,USB cable, The installation disc, and a pen holder that has a detachable bottom to reveal extra pen nibs. Since I have Windows 7 on my desktop I just plugged in the usb and all the drivers were read from the get go. I've been playing around with this thing for about an hour now. It feels a little wierd at first trying to get used to drawing ont his tablet but after about 5 minutes the designer in me kicked and it was almost second nature. So I tried out the tablet with Photoshop and I came up with this it looks pretty promising:


I look Junofied.




Oh yeah the tablet I bought looks like this.

Until next time, stay thirsty my friends.

Alright, here it goes. School at Cal State Fullerton has just begun and it feels pretty good. I was getting pretty lazy during winter break. But then BAM! all of a sudden I have a blogspot account.This was the result of having digital illustration class with Christian Hill. From what I've seen so far he seems to be a really nice guy who cares about his students, he knows when to have fun and when to work. But back on topic. I've never had a blog before or wrote in a diary for that matter. But I guess things were just meant to happen eventually. But now that I think of it, now is an opportunity to get more of my Graphic Design work and my Digital Illustration work out there with this thing. Hell, I'll even post my music producing sessions. But I guess I have a diary now to document what goes on in the day in the life of myself. Let me tell you a little bit about Mr. Borrayo. Even though I live in Anaheim and consider it my 2nd home, I am originally from LA County. The city of Downey to be exact. Lived there all my life until college.I also like anime alot. By looking at me, you would never think I would. I love experimental hip hop as well, I feel that the process of making music like that is very similar to how a graphic artist thinks up an out-of-the-box kind of concept. I'm in my beginning stages of being an experimental hip-hop producer as well, and if I can be great at Music and Graphic Art at the same time,I'll be a very satisfied man. So befriend me and leave a comment on my work. Tell me how cool it is or what can be fixed to make it look better.I guess I'll leave it at that.

P.S I'm an Angels fan and not a Dodgers fan.
