Artful C!'s Nintendo Appreciation Blog

some may call me a geek, nerd, dork etc....
i've been labeled my whole life, and this company may very well take the blame for it all. i honestly wouldn't have it any other way. from but a young young boy @ age 4 or 5 i remember sitting in front of a big ass tv planing for hours on end, my classic NES (nintendo entertainment system). nothing made me happier. period. now that i am older and i have a little brother i see him growing in the same fashion, on the same tv, however his first brush with nintendo was the gamecube.

everyone knows by now that video games can help sculpt a childhood. think about it. they keep you inside & out of trouble, they excercise your hand/eye coordination, they test your patience (especially games like mega man 3 & the legend of zelda: a link to the past), and a whole laundry list of skills that nintendo has helped me personally acquire over the years can be named but i don't feel like it. i wanna take this moment to show my thanks and pay homage to a company that i'm sure all my wii sports players out there are well familiar with.








NINTENDO WE LOVE YOU! shouts out to Super Mario, Luigi, BOWSER & Samus Aran (Metroid)*

Artful C.

no pretty pictures, no images, just words & sense.

my last blog post was may 26, 2007.
i lost interest in blogging on may 26, 2007..... wait, wait thats a bit harsh.
let's start from the ending.....

i'm a simple person. doesn't take much to please me or occupy my time. never did, never really will. in all my simplicity i have a slight, complex. i'm not afraid to try anything and i am MORE than open minded however, anything that requires more than my minimal efforts not only bores me, but infuriates me. why can't everything be as simple as i? an artistic fellow indeed i am, all you gotta do is put a pencil to a paper & BOOM! art....... an athletic lad at times, all you gotta do is catch the ball & run it & BOOM! score...... so why can't everything be that easy?

i've become known amongst many as an artist. i would more than love to incorporate art into every medium possible. so i got my lil space here on blogspot.com & my intentions on it were to indeed do just that; incorporate artistic worths from my photography, graphic images, words, & songs or whatever else i've been inspired to make, then display it all here for you to see. but i've run into so much difficulty in conveying my messages that i stopped trying. my last blog post was may 26, 2007. i lost interest in blogging on may 26, 2007.

i find it difficult to try to penetrate layers upon layers of frauds to bring forth whats real within me. the fight has been faught by many before me, won & lost by equal amounts. am i the spartan writer of 300 words who'll convince you all of my truths? or the persian scholastic bully who berates the masses with further perversions & falsehoods? who's to say? and will i find satisfaction in either of the two evils? i don't even know.

so how's this for a comfortable inbetween.... i'll cook up your food for thought, if you think its poison don't eat, if you think its cake, indulge yourself, and i'll take my satisfaction in knowing i gave you all an option. simple as that. i'm a simple person. doesn't take much to please me or occupy my time. never did, never really will.

Now that you know who I am, (for visuals, look left), lets skip the pleasantries & get right to business.

What I do here is.....show some of my lil modeling pix, tell you about some of my songs i record (www.myspace.com/artful_carlito, for a listen), but more importantly show off my graphics. I pretty much taught myself how to use photoshop like.....2 years ago and it seems I've gotten quite adept with the art. there will be more blogs to follow about this obsession of mine but for now lets move on.
