WEEK 6 EOC: illicit

Today in class we watched a video on illicit action from around the world. These action that are part of the black market take place from New York to Hong Kong, and more. There are people wanting to sale you all type of things from as small as pills to as big as sport cars. It starts small, I like just buying a bag from the guy on the streets of New York city or a small shop in Hong Kong with their own sweet shops.
Now to tell you what I was thinking about watching this video. I knew a little about what was being talked about but there was a lot more then I didn’t know. Like I said earlier you could just being getting something off a person on the street. That you may not over think about it, if I did find something nice that I wanted now I’m sure I’ll buy it. I’ve even found out about two years ago that some models I got in L.A. were fakes. At the time I didn’t know but only spent eight dollars on them that was very good, but if I were to buy them again I wouldn’t because they were bad fakes. Like getting things on the street this was easy to buy but from what they showed in Hong Kong , there was so much that they did. They would walk you all about the streets making you lost. I for one wouldn’t be so cool with doing this, they also wanted to see your pass ports. There were bigger things that I really did like there were even fake drugs. I hated this the most, because someone could be wanting pills for their sick family member. Most of the pills were paint and other deadly things. I felt after watching this along as you know you’re not buying the real thing its ok, but not when it comes to pills and parts for cars.

Week 1 EOC: My about me

Hello to those that are reading this, my name is Keith Alan Hasson Jr. and I’m student at the Art Institute of Las Vegas(Ailv). At Ailv I’m studying Media Art & Animation, to one day work on cartoon and hopefully make my own. In time after I’m done with Ailv I would also like to do some work with comic books, to test the waters. I became a fan of drawing and art because of my grandmother. When I was about seven or eight I asked her to draw me something, and from then on I’ve been drawing. At first like most people that pick up a pencil I really wasn’t all that good, but I did get that there were parts that made up a person. I never made stick people when I would draw; my drawing always had meat on them. Some of the cartoons that also watched played a big part in me liking to draw and look into be coming an animator. Cartoons like Dragon Ball, Voltron, and Thundercats and many others great animations. After finding out how much I loved to draw, I would do it all the time. I even started to do art contests when I was a little kid. Ended up taking first place in a Nevada Jr duck drawing contest, that was from grades 3rd to 7th. My drawing became a stamp, and I was given a paint of the Nevada’s duck stamp. Back then all I know I wanted to do was draw, not till 6th grade did I know more about cartoons. I found out about anime that really helped open my eyes to all type of animations. After some time of working on my skills and always being in art clubs I found friends that loved it just as much as me. Over time I would only look at cartoons to see how they moved, and how others would make them move. Cartoons that moved real I just loved and new that’s what I always wanted to do.
