I'm Pablo, co-founder of The Zeldathon Team, a video game marathon team. I live in Miami and work for FIU Student Media doing all sorts of things.
I spend my free time reading comics, playing video games, roaming the night, and drinking fancy beer.
Things have been quiet here as of late, but for good reason. Remember that digital art studio I threatened? Well, here it is.
Got a Wacom Cintiq 21UX along with the latest i7 MacBook Pro. Also got a proper drafting chair, which pulls everything together, along with the finer details like a Tardis USB hub, Bose speakers, and external HD running TimeMachine.
Consider the image on my Wacom screen an exclusive preview of my upcoming comic (which is copyrighted all the way to hell).
What Amazon Prime sent today.
Comics from the past two weeks.
After being occupied with Zeldathon ‘10 and being in Sarasota, I was finally able to pick up this monstrous pile that was waiting for me at the shop. It’s hard not to blow off drawing and jump right in, but I’ll leave them for the late evening.
Spent this week in Longboat Key, FL (right next to Sarasota) where my mom owns a timeshare for this week. I’m headed back to Miami tomorrow, where I look forward to working with my brand new Wacom Cintiq and getting back to work on my upcoming web comic.
Stage of the Ringo Starr concert I was at last night. I would have snagged a photo of him, but the security was more annoying than a Tuesday after a Monday holiday. Anyway, I’d write a review of the concert, but critiquing a Beatle just feels silly to me.
The names are escaping me, but some of the All-Starr band members this time consisted of the lead singers of the McCoys and the Romantics. Edgar Winter was there, like always.
Oh, right. I’m playing Zelda games with my friends for over 72 hours, non-stop. We’re raising money for the National Children’s Advocacy Center and our goal is $1,000. Stop by and say hello.
Till 10pm EST.

This week’s comics 6/16/10.
Provided I was able to keep my stupidity at bay this (half) semester, I took what should be my last final today. I’ve dreamed of this day since my mom first walked me into my kindergarden classroom, where I was eventually seated in the back corner of the classroom with one of my (still) best friends because we already knew all the curriculum for that school year. Although I would not retain a mastery over all the material I would later encounter during my academic career, it always felt like it was getting in the way, keeping me in a corner and preventing me from focusing on finding out what I’m good at. I learned a lot, but now I’m ready to hunker down in the Duffcave and work on things that I choose to.
Today has lived up to the hype.
Immediate plans are to enjoy the rest of the summer, go on a couple of trips, keep a patient eye out for job openings, and work full-time on my web comic, which is tentatively scheduled for a late August/early September launch.
I’ve had a lot of support from people close friends expecting great things from me in the coming years and I hope I don’t disappoint.
It’s finally time to do what I was born to do: create.
