Series for an all encompassing media company. just a few simple sketches that evolved a little. I’ve done about twenty but these are my three favorite. the monsters have some kind of a characteristic that the job title does
many elements involved when i tried to create my own heraldic family crest. i used the Barrera crest that i was told was the right one. with the Stafford ^ and three stars because i am the third child. i got that from prince William has one seashell, and Henry has two. i used the same theory and changed it to stars. the bird on the bottom is an eagle because i’m and eagle scout and my shield is flanked my two dogs, my poodle for defense and my terrier for offense.
Over the past couple years I’ve been sketching, doodling and drawing to no end. I’ve been through 9 books in two years, multiple brands from different stores but mostly black, hard covered books. i’ve always envied moleskin but never justified buying a $17 small sketchbook when i really need a cheap, lots of room book.
After going to borders i picked up a Piccadilly small blank book, very impressed with the quality of the book itself (binding, paper cut, texture) but the bookmark popped out the first time i used it 
the paper quality isn’t exactly moleskin quality but its really close, the cream color and texture. definitely worth purchasing, they’re in the bargain aisle. also i started using papermate flair pens because of other websites been fallowing and this book doesn’t bleed through, if im do a detailed sketch on my old book after a bunch of passes over the same line it bleeds, Piccadilly nope but with 3.5 x 5 not enough room to be technical about it. now i got a larger gridded one bigger in every aspect. i hope i make some good ideas out of this one!
Peace, Paul
one thing that i really have about school is teachers, not that they’re difficult or hard in their teaching or the material but how the teacher want you to do work to make them happy. or even worse doing tests not for knowledge but for points like its a game. in high school i got to the point that i figured out how much points i needed for a decent grade and blatantly slacked off on a project in school because i knew i had the points security. i wanna go to school to learn, and i learned how to play games with teachers. with college i study graphic design right? no i wanna become a professional because graphic design is easy, how can i make graphic design work for me? how do i get clients how to i do business and not get screwed over. i much rather take theory classes like that then sit in a class spending a lot of money to re-learn the pen tool.
one of the coolest horoscopes i’ve read in a while
You’re not mean-spirited — not one tiny little bit. You can, however, be goaded — at times — into behavior that’s beneath you. That only happens if someone shows anything less than total respect for a worthy cause or someone you love. If you’ve already warned them about this, or if you know they’ve heard about your recent dealings with someone impolite, you won’t hesitate to come out with both guns blazing. And well you should. -yahoo
Fuck you.
im sick of people using their words to cover their ass. if your a teacher, teach. don’t bullshit around if you have a advanced layout class teach some advanced stuff. if your a math teacher would you leave out long division? if your a geography teacher would you leave out explain the prime meridian? and use words like you should be learning at home? why the fuck am i in school then. gimme me a break expecting stuff that you don’t cover that’s wrong
more to come
yo dog people are insane, the more i see it the more i detest them, these are dogs, family members but not children. but whatever make people happy is cool, right? my dog is my buddy, not my child and i treat him like a …. dog.that is how spunky in pa is treated and that’s how they should be treated. one show that i can watch back to back to back i the animal planet show, ‘its the dog or me’ there are the craziest people on that show and the dogs are normal. it really shows that dogs are only as good as they’re trained. Rocko here has a lot of liberties but he knows he’s not allowed on me bed, not to get in the trash and to leave the ferret alone, for the most part. we really got a good deal on this dog he was already housebroken and he wakes me up to go outside, a smart terrier. and today he’s wearing his formal wear because of a birthday
rocko in his formal wear
Susan Boyle has changed to world. this woman did amazing on the Britain got talent show and surprised everyone she seems very subtle and confident. i’m really glad that she did this because it showed people over 12 million view on youtube that not to judge a book by its cover because she sung i dreamed a dream so beautifully very close to the other videos on youtube.i really hope that she stays the way she is and doesn’t sell-out and become a arrogant person, be you don’t listen to suits!

^ probably one of the greatest songs/band I’ve never seen live just ignore his voice and listen to the song.
Start quarter seven of twelve!
so far i ‘ve been too 4 out of five classes because of construction issues at my school, one teacher graphic design i’ve never had before and she seems to be the real deal, not a bull shit artist that will give you the walk around and not tell you what you need. because it annoyed me last quarter when i had an indecisive/rookie/no experience teacher nice degree but no experience to back it up. i promise to my future students in many years to come I’ll have plenty of expertise and skill to teach. i love how my favorite teachers all together have about 125 years work experience. its great, it says a lot about my school and they all have different styles and trends.
my work this quarter should be less but more detailed. during my spring break i had it planned to layout my magazine, hay maker magazine but it didn’t go so well, i don’t have any copy and im no journalist. so i have a lot of copy lines, pictures and place holders. anybody wanna contribute email me Haymakermag@paulbarrera12.com its all about agressive, hardcore art, music, life, cars, and counter culture politics.
and bill o’reily i have a bone to pick with you, going after eminem. to me he seems happier with the new song as opposed to toy soldier which was quite dark. its his job to be entertaining, i think hes mocked just about every single group in the united states except Muslims, maybe not. but that’s his niche i love the goofy videos, and his audacity to go after people and do what he wants. and your there calling him names, i don’t think your really cut out for a rap feud. becoming a public figure puts a target on your back everybody is going to take shots.the fact that he did it against popular women of 2008 is funny because they were ridiculous. from the winehouse going from rehab and back, palin saying the dumbest things under pressure, jessica simpsons weight, and more essential he was recapping the year in crazy women. is it offensive, sure anything can be taken the wrong way.

wow are people serious? now i didn’t vote for personal reasons and im not registered i so have little say in the matter, but at least he’s doing something, give the man some time before such harsh criticism. i mean we gave bush a couple months, because there weren’t any major major issues that needed to be addressed right away, like 2 wars and a economy that is in panic mode. I’ve been taught that we can have are own issues with the president but he’s our president we picked him. For the amount of time the he is in office we fallow his orders.we all fallowed bush, with his policies and Clinton and all the way down the line, and if you think that’s a lie wheres the mass revolution that overthrew the presidency? nowhere
every day i go on and see how people act and think put me further away from understanding. I’m getting sick of laptop gangsters who think their opinion matters. why call someone out on something that they’re really proud about and shoot it down? ok, now with cars im going to give people shit because i want them to put their car together correctly and not half-assed or parts that aren’t necessary. but i’ve been watching tutorial videos on how to build things and people are calling them stupid. but where are their awesome videos? they’re seriously bulling these people without even knowing them. i find it really sick how people type things out when their mouth would never ever say it in public. but ask anyone about me they’ll say im quiet or i never stop arguing.
i started playing soldier front and its like a free counter strike that you build up your character for better guns and such its not bad but like every other online game the rookie servers are full of good players who want cheap kills while their calling everybody rookies. no shit that’s why we’re on that server. some people need to relax when playing a game, i play for entertainment and relaxation. some people were crying and screaming about they died and their score sucks. who cares? who’s keeping tabs on you? its a game meant to entertain you so you have fun. it not a training exercise or even close to real life. because in the game i usually the first person to run through the lines and shoot at people while in reality i would hang back and organize my troops and have a good strategy in place way before the actual mission.
basically, laptop gangsters shut your typing fingers up. before a real gangster comes and breaks them.
peace,
Paul
thank you good Samaritan for shooting a criminal in broad daylight, it takes a lot of audacity to confront and kill someone. anyways, on Tuesday, there was a shooting at a burger king, on 54 and Biscayne, basically on my way home. the shooting was like some guy was robbing the place with a .380 and a guy with a concealed glock 19 asked him to drop the gun and go home. they started arguing, both pointed guns at each other and the customer at burger king won and the robber died. i hope he recovers fully from his wounds. the sickest thing was though on my way to school on Wednesday there were people eating there and they didn’t close it.knowing that there was a shootout less then 24 hours prior would definitely make me not want to go there for a while. because the feeling that someone just died here and im willing to eat be a patron here eww.
im starting to get good at this school thing, it only took like 16 years of schooling to acutely get good grades. i don’t know what my catalyst is but i’ve risen my GPA and gotten more involved with my art. its fun. and people in my class asked if I’ve felt like changing my major, nope! graphic design, art, and designing things is what i’ve wanted to do for a long time. this is paul
and I’ve been getting messages through out many different electronic forms, from one person, no im not ready to talk to you not now not for a while, at least until I’m done school because i can’t go through the bullshit again. i moved to Miami so you didn’t know where i was, and i liked it that way, so you don’t show up at my door and expect me to welcome you in. I’m an adult and I’m making a naive decision but its my decision so fuck off and I’ll talk to you when I’m ready.
peace
paul
