150th post...a moment of silence


As I create this 150th post on BoBA, I would like to ask that you hold a moment of silence for someone special. Weeks after lead singer for Boston Brad Delp passed away, and a few days after the Virginia Beach Mariners folded, the winningest coach in NCAA Division I FCS football history, Eddie Robinson, died at the age of 88 due to Alzheimer's Disease.

He was perhaps one of the greatest coaches, if not the best ever, in Black College Football. Grambling State University won many National Championships under Coach Robinson, and he was a proud supporter of the game after he finished his coaching days with 408 wins to his credit, a record that stoood until Coach John Gagliardi eclipsed it years later with the Johnnies of St. John's in Division III.

He lived a long, proud, rich, accomplished life, and BoBA, along with its sister blogs Love and Liberty II on SeiyaUsagi.net, Love and Liberty Lite on TagWorld, and Bedlam on MySpace Boulevard on MySpace, saluted Coach Robinson for his contributions to the game of American Football...and to life.

Rest in peace.

Spring Break Sketch Suite Part 5



HEre is the canon couple from Hayate the Combat Butler...Hayate Ayasaki and Nagi Sanzennin. A 13-year old kid in love with a 16-year old kid. No problems, as far as I know. Such is the power of the overpriviliged.

This is Hinagiku from Hayate The Combat Butler. She's my third-favorite character, after Nagi and Hayate. I need to work on shading when sketching. Quite a bit.

I prefer to draw using pencil. That means most of my drawing are sketches. I like it that way. I have no qualms about thinking outside of the box. For example, if Apricot Sakuraba let her hair down and wore her older sister's headband, I imagine her looking like Kaede Fuyou from Shuffle!.

I like playing the guitar. Even though I can't get the licks right, and that I prefer to play the drums (I can't afford a drum set yet....sob sob), I like to draw girls donning guitars.

I love Jimmy Eat World. Not for the trademark song "The Middle", but more for the song "Get It Faster," from the same album, Bleed American. This fueled me to draw a set of sketches for Spring Break.

Keep in mind this is an exclusive, away from my usual site on CSULB's server. Just for those of you who like to check out BoBA.
