The flo_ crew, anime style!

Samson:

One of us here at flo_ is quite the artist and whipped up some headshots of the crew in anime style!

I have to admit that I do watch anime and I really like the animation and visual style.  I don’t watch it all that often but Full Metal Alchemist was the last series I watched and was very impressed.  I haven’t been able to catch the movie yet but I heard it was great.  Perhaps once I see it, I’ll post a review.

This needs to be fact checked but I was told that pencil drawing used to be considered a step toward creating “real” art such as painting.  Artists would sketch an image in pencil as a guideline but would finish their work in whatever medium they choose.  I disagree.  I think pencil drawings can be art on their own.  Pencil and paper are fully capable of producing persperctive, light and shadow, tone or texture.  All the elements you need for a great work of art, a pencil can provide.

Jacks:

Yeah!  And doodling rocks!  I totally luv to doodle! I doodle all the time lol!  Like when we’re at a diner or something I’d just pull out a pen or pencil and just start messin’ around on a napkin.  It’s so fun.  They don’t always turn out great but it’s not about that rite?

I mean, writers write down the most random things on a little notebook they carry all the time.  Sometimes they use the little things they write down and sometimes not.

Well doodling is just like that!  So if you want to be a struggling artist and live in a loft somewhere and be unrecognized until the day you die, just keep doodling!  Then one day, someone will go through your stuff and sell them for awesome amounts of money!  Isn’t that so cool!?  I totally think so.

Sometimes I see people wearing the coolest combination of clothes and I just look at them and think “Wow! You have a coolest sense of fashion!”  Then I try to remember what they are wearing and draw it when I have time but I’m always busy so I really don’t get to but I like the way they look anyways…

Paris:

Alright alright Jacks!  I’m gonna cut you off ’cause you’re getting into what could be called a triple-run-on sentence.

Well I have to say that these drawings are pretty accurate.  I mean, I really do have these chiseled jaw-lines, a commanding look, and awesome hair.

Actually that’s not entirely true.  My hair is a bit longer now, not quite trimmed to perfection and has a bit of a messy look.  Jack’s hair is longer too.  And as for A.J., well, his hair changes depending on it’s length so I can’t say that it’s exactly the same.  I mean the damn thing ranges from messy to nappy to spike when short which is actually just fine.  Then a part on the left side starts to appear when it gets longer.  THAT’S when is gets funny cause he combs it all nice and neat and he looks like a fuckin’ accountant from some old Kung Fu movie.  Don’t even ask me what that means but he looks ridiculous haha! 

And don’t even get me started about his wardrobe!  Man, he puts together and wears the weirdest shit!

Samson:

Ok, that’s enough geez.  Make fun of my hair and wardrobe why don’tcha. 

On a last note, we are looking for a skilled graphic artist to polish up these images.  There are plenty of smudges to clean up.  We’d like to effectively add and use color to add a sense of depth and well, color.  If you are interested, please send us an email at Paris@FloWriter.com

Well, here’s an image of all three of us together.  We’re all really excited to finally have images up on flo_, just click to see the full image.  Hope you enjoy them!

From all of us here, keep writing, keep drawing, and let thought and word flo_
