Sympathy Pregnancy O__o

BEFORE

AFTER
If you guys knew me 9 months ago before this pregnancy, I was kind of a BIG DEAL! Just ask about me haha lol nahhh let me stop. I was just really into my health, nutrition and physique. From the days of wrestling in high school all the way throughout my junior year in college, back when I had time to myself, I would hit the gym religiously and made sure I ate all the right foods. NOW, all I do is eat and blame my poor diet and inactivity on this so called sympathy pregnancy -_____-  Me not going to the gym felt like I didn’t take a shower for the day.  I just felt dirty lol I made a promise to Denise and myself that after the birth of my son, we would get back on the GRIND and hit the gym hard...Hopefully I can get out this pregnancy hangover and put in some extra work at the gym and stop being a FAT-ASS!

Still Under Construction...


With all the overwhelming responses and comments, I really want to make this site PERFECT!
I have a lot of plans in mind.  Once we get Noah on the right sleeping schedule, I wanna re-do the look of the site.  Possibly even make a line of shirts when I design the new logo! I like the nice clean look to the site, but we all know raising a baby is one big mess so I want to relate the theme of that to the aesthetics of the site. 

stay tuned in...

THANK YOU...

I just wanted to thank all of you who have visited the site and continue to follow the blog.  It feels good to see number of visits jump over night from a couple of hundred views to nearly 2,000  =D

Special thanks goes out to all my family and friends who have supported me through a rough, emotional time while going throughout this pregnancy and still continue to be there for me and Denise with the birth of our baby boy.  There is no words I can say to describe how grateful and blessed I am to have the family and friends on my side...

Also, thanks to all of you who gave us all the shower gifts! We got everything we needed!  Thank you cards were already made, but have yet to pass them out since it has been such a busy time for the both of us.  

Again,
THANK YOU / MUCHOS GRACIAS / MARAMING SALAMT!

I wish Denise and I had this during labor...

it sure would've helped!

MORE of Junior!!!

 I don't want to over-saturate you guys with all this baby stuff, but I can help it right now! I'm so anxious to share everything that we encounter throughout baby Noah's life.  Bare with me as I get all of this excitement out my system... 

For the meantime enjoy more pics of Christian Jr. and his family
=)

Noah & ARKS

To go along with the theme of the site, I figured it would be nice touch to post pics of different arks or anything else related to the story of Noah's Ark from the Bible.

Noah's sneaker game is going to be something SERIOUS!

for the meantime, Noah is gonna be rockin' these 'til he grows into some big boy shoes =)

WELCOME TO THE WORLD SON...

 Christian Noah Platon Jr.
Born: December 25, 2010 @ 8:18 pm / Fairfax, VA.
[weight]: 6Ibs 7oz [length]: 21.5 inches

Mommy & Daddy loves you so much <3

I need a new logo...

I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT!!!
 I'm really happy with my picture header that says: 
"When Noah sailed the ocean blue, he had his troubles the same as you, for 40 days he sailed his ark before he found a place to park"
[photo credits to Leslie Laconsay]
I was in a rush to finish the logo since this blog was actually an assignment for class.  For the project, I had to draw up a logo using Adobe illustrator and of course I waited last minute to draw it up. Everytime I look at it, I see so many things that can be improved but I just haven't had the time to sketch anything up.  Hopefully once my baby boy comes, he'll give me some inspiration as this blog is dedicated to him =)

A TOAST...

you talk about smooth...ooo-weeee.

QUIZ ARTIST -_-

So for my Fundamentals of Digital Arts Class, we were given a 5 question quiz at the beginning of every class about an artist our professor went briefly over at the end of each class...

Now this class was on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:10 - 9:50 pm [Monday Night Football].  If you ever take a class with Natalie Bray, YOU MUST BE PROMPT & ON TIME! I learned that the hard way when I get locked out for showing up to class a couple of minutes late, missing a good portion of my quizzes.

It was the end of the semester and we were finishing up our last assignment for the class, which was creating this blog to showcase our work we did in the semester.  Throughout the class, Natalie called us up individually showing us our grade.  To my surprise, I was sitting at C+, due to my missed quizzes -___-

Being the great and understanding teacher she is, I was given a second chance to salvage my grade by writing a paragraph of the 7 quiz artist I missed.  so here it goes, enjoy.......

"IT'S A DAD!"

for my final project in my drawing class, we were assigned to draw a neosurrealist portrait using our choice of medium, subject and surface.  

title: " IT'S A DAD"
medium: charcoal
 I wanted to show my class a drawing that would illustrate my new journey in life.  
I came up with the concept to draw an ultrasound with my face camouflaged by the same textures found in a sonogram. The drawing represents my development as a new man and the awkward feelings and symptoms of an expectant father-to-be

Cardboard DJ

 
here is another piece of work done for my 3-dimension class.  
the assignment was entitled Rock Band, where we had to re-creat a music video.
we choose Aerosmith & RunDMC's Walk this Way 
-all materials used for this assignment were made strictly from recycled cardboard boxes-
