Anime Continuity

This is how I feel watching anime movies.

Cosplay Photos - Chino and Wilkes Cosplay Creations.

Here are some photos that I took of my friends Jeff Chino and Savannah Wilkes for their Cosplay business: "Wilkes and Chino Cosplay Creations." These two are extremely talented!

The Adventurous Tilas Power

Hello all!

After a lot of working, sweat and tears, I have once again re-vamped my webcomic "The Adventurous Tilas Power!" It is a Antrho-fantasy webcomic with a touch of steampunk. It would make me very happy if you all would check it out and let me know what you think!

Weenie Factor #5

Every time I go into a sauna

Weenie Factor #4

I'm really proud of this one.

Weenie Factor #3

Every time I step into a sauna.

Weenie Factor #2

Ha!

Weenie Factor #1

Anyone who has worked in customer service knows the truth to this. I got the art inspiration from Gary Larson's The Far Side.

Melancholy Monkey

What is it with sad monkeys in this zoo. Ok, to be fair I have no idea if this monkey was really melancholy or just wondering if he left his stove on, but it seemed like an appropriate name for the picture.

Tears of the Monkey

This monkey seemed so sad. I noticed the water stream from his eye and it looked like he was crying. Perhaps having his photo on the internet will cheer him up. That always helps. Right? Right?

The Lion's Mouth

Like the Elephant statue, I can't remember a time when this drinking fountain wasn't here. We always used to love the idea of putting our heads in the lion's mouth. It's a great piece of nostalgia for my childhood.

More Elephants.

Here's some more elephants, this time they're real.

Elephant Statue

This statue has been at the Hogle Zoo for as long as I can remember. As far as I know its always been there. Despite all the changes the zoo has made, this is one of the things that has stayed the same. Its always good to see this statue and be reminded of my childhood. 

The Family

The Proud father Giraffe Presiding over his family in protection and strength, the Caring mother Giraffe watching over her baby in love and care, and the Hopeful baby Giraffe, looking ever upward to her loving family as guides and guardians. This is a wonderful family photo.

Unicorn

I decided to try my hand at pastels again. I hate using real pastels, so I decided to try it on MyPaint. Here is my reference: c1.staticflickr.com/5/4032/431…

You can see this on my deviantart page as well: http://zdforrest.deviantart.com/art/Unicorn-519999805

Tulips

I like tulips. They're pretty.

Utah's Hogle Zoo - Train

Here's the start of some pictures I took at the Hogle Zoo. I was really bummed out, however, to find out that the Hogle Zoo had the Dinosaur exhibit two days after we were there. So, I'm totally going back. For dinosaurs.

The Goal

Ok, technically its a basket and not a goal, but this shot seemed like something that would go on a motivational poster about goals, so I thought....hey, wait a minute, that's an awesome idea! I'm going to make this into a motivational poster!

Playtime

I remember when the playground here was made out of wood.

Conundrum

Sometimes in life, when we are confronted with a problem we cannot solve, we think that it has no answer. However, perhaps the answer is there, we just can't the end result, where everything comes together.


Many thanks to my friend Jessica for posing for this picture and to the Clark Planetarium of Utah for allowing us use of their facilities.

The Fence

Its a fence. A fence that's attached to another fence that surrounds the house down the street from where I live. And in need of repair. What? Were you expecting some philosophy? All right then:

A fence is our reasoning and belief surrounding our minds. Things that we allow to pass the fence of belief and reasoning and into our homes truly make us who we are. But what we don't know is that we must always be careful what we allow through. Like the unruly neighbor who causes property damage, we must pick and choose wisely what philosophies, theories and beliefs we let into our minds, our homes. A truthful and worthy belief will bring happiness to our homes, while a unruly and disruptive belief will only bring destruction. That being said, make sure you keep your fence of belief and reason in a constant state of repair, lest you allow yourself to become something we no longer recognize by allowing something to slip past our fence that we would not want in our homes.

Sign

A simple sign down the street from where I live. I thought that it looked good enough to photograph. I mean, come on, the stick man is graciously helping the stick woman across the road. Now who says chivalry is dead?

International Peace Gardens - The Bridge

I really liked photographing this bridge. It was fantastically crafted and perfectly photogenic.
