Questioned by the Hong Kong PoliceSo where was I? Oh yes I was gonna talk about my experiences with the Hong Kong police, so here goes. OK this is the problem, whenever I visit Hong Kong I always have the fear of being questioned by the police, well not exactly fear because I've got nothing to hide, but whenever I am alone walking on the street and a policeman on patrol sees me, they would ALWAYS 100% stop and ask for my ID. For those ain't familiar with how things work in Hong Kong is that if they see a teenager (Especially male) on the street not in their school uniform during school time or with dyed hair or pretty much just 'gangster' or suspicious looking, they have the right to stop you in the middle of nowhere and question you. Now I match every bit of suspicion possible, what they are trying to check is if there's any sort of crime around the area so they can narrow down the suspects, or to check whether you are legal to be in Hong Kong, or whether you've got drugs on you. Anyway when I was in Hong Kong a month

Secret to Success: Draw with your balls outHappy new ears my brothers and sisters. I hope you had a good break, but now its time to get back to work! And Ry here has a pro tip for you, something I have kept to myself but I think you as an artist should know about and adapt this habit. Its actually not that complicated, you should just always Draw with your balls out.
A wise man by the name of John Rambo once told us that we should 'Stay ballsy'. We should not let our fear overtake us, we should dive head in into obstacles and fight the demons without fear and without worries. Well I have taken that approach and incorporated it into my drawing, believe it or not I have never been confident about my artworks, even if it is something I spent 24 hours on I still have doubt whether its good enough to show or not, especially when it is for work and I know I am being judged on.. thats why it always takes so long for me to finish an art piece because I keep looking at it and try to fix stuff that probably no one would ever notic

Pocket City ExplainedHello its Ryce Cooker here with something a bit unusual. I usually don't like to explain my artworks because I like to see how people sees them, I believe if I have to explain what is happening in my artwork, then I didn't do a good job, I would prefer if they just see it and gets it. But once in a while I like to break tradition LOL! So this time I feel like explaining the many things that are not too obvious in my latest doodle piece. Pocket City! Main reason being I added a few trivias and homages in there thats really only relevant to me but you might also be interested in (Or bored as hell after reading). So yeah you been warned brother!

ALWAYS SIGN YOUR WORK and other stuffHi folks. I was gonna make this journal sooner or later, but there's not a more appropriate time than NOW, when my 'Sorry we're closed' http://ry-spirit.deviantart.com/art/Sorry-we-re-CLOSED-162673296 artwork got posted on 9gag right http://m.9gag.com/gag/6281912 ! Not only did the person not credit the artist or link it to my page or whatever, they even changed the title of this artwork to 'S**t Happens'. Come on man... WHAT ALSO sucks is that back then I had a different logo, its like that box with a thunder symbol on it, it doesn't have my username on it either... so people could just look at that picture and have no idea who drew it. I mean this artwork is OLD.. like more than 2 years old.. so I was still new to how the internet works when it comes to sharing. So now this 9gag post gets like 16k of likes and over 500k of views and I don't get a single credit. *Flips a table*. Remember how I endlessly praised Joss Whedon a couple of weeks ago because not only did he repost my work o

Strange and interesting things in PokemonGreetings earthlings and so on. It is I Ry-Spirit once again discussing interesting things on the internet that can sometimes be funny, outrageous, racist, sexist, sad or just simply thought provoking. Lets talk Pokemon because I feel we haven't talked enough about em. Throughout the years there are many things in Pokemon that people find strange, like why Brock's donuts are so different to Homer Simpson's donuts, why a male Mr. Mime isnt called Mrs. Mime, why did professor think there are 150 Pokemon etc. But somethings are even stranger, we go deeper and take a look at some of the strange things in the Pokemon Universe. I have collected materials from my Pokemon researchers and also done a few homework myself to give you this quite interesting entry. I strongly urge you to tell me more interesting facts to add to the journal if you have any

Disney needs to stop making kids cryThats a picture of me coming out of the cinema after watching Toy Story 3. And you know what? I don't want people seeing my watery face ;__;" its embarrassing. I am so sick and tired of these Disney films making me embarrassed in front of everybody! You would think alright I am gonna watch an Disney animated film, its gonna be full of kids in the cinema, its gonna be a relaxing movie, it will be filled with jokes and funny characters, its gonna be all fun and games, I am gonna come out of the cinema with a big smile on my face. THEN WHY THE F*CK DID I COME OUT OF THE CINEMA LIKE I JUST WENT TO MY DAD'S FUNERAL?! >:'U
And I swear I don't tear up in movies that try desperately to tear you up, examples being The Notebook, I hated that movie so much. There is no reason to show the couple all old and wrinkly what so ever, like many romantic film they should've just ended it when the couple was most in love, there, credits, end of movie, but no this movie likes to show when the couple are bo

If I lost an armMy good people of Deviantart. It is me again Chicken breasts mixed with vegetable poured with a delicious yet spicy Indian curry on Ryce, here with another thought provoking yet useless journal entry. What happened was earlier this week my tablet pen's been going crazy, because the nib on the tip of my tablet pen has worn off. I do use the tablet a lot.... Like every single day, so over time naturally you would need to replace the nib. But being me, I just always forget to buy it.. Every time the pen becomes non responsive I would smack it like a disobedient bitch until it works again. Well guess what.. it reached a point where I need to smack it once every minute. You wouldn't believe the pain I went through with the Valentine's day picture, what could've been a 3 hours artwork ended by being 6 hours. At the end the pen was finally dead, I could hardly see the nib anymore. By the way a nib is like a long plastic that acts as the tip of your pen ok...? I don't want you to think I am ta

Above is a visual representation of what I will look like if I was born a girl. The answer is I would be a hot big boob sexy Asian chick. How did this thought came about? It started when my friend *omuuu asked me today. "What do you think of your appearance?", and I was like "i think im decent enough to not scare people away, and look quite handsome from some angles and lighting". Then she asked "if you were the opposite gender, would you have changed in either aspect?" and that got me thinking. I actually stumble upon this thought a few times before, and in all scenario I always end up a slut. Let me explain.
Did you know that if you are a girl, you get bonus face points? Like if you are born an ugly guy, you remain an ugly guy. However if you were born an ugly girl, you are still a girl and pe

I saved my friend with a KFC bucketYo guys, it's Sweet and Sour Pork with Ryce poured with some random sauce on the side. You know when you have dreams or flashbacks of your childhood past sometimes and think "oh God why was I so stupid"... that's what happened to me yesterday, after my dog left me a lovely present on my bed. A huge wave of nostalgia rushed over me after that crap.
Anyway, Uncle Ry has an embarrassing story to share, since it was basically the start of my really cool badboy senpai image.
This was me as a kid:
As you can see, I still have that charming smile even now. Just look at dem eyes. I was definitely the senpai of all my girl classmates.
Ok guys, no need to stare for too long, I know I'm good looking but we gotta get to the point ok? :'I You know those kids in movies where some freak accident happens and they are always the hero? Yeah well I was that kid one time, and that was the start of my super cool badboy senpai career. I remember when I was 5 and about to start my first day at school in Grad

Top 10 childhood Fictional Girls LoveThis is another very naughty journal entry, so if you are under the age of 18, please leave this page right now! No, in fact turn off your computer and go out for a walk! Its good for you! Right, here goes. When I was young, before I had the courage to talk to real girls, I used to have crushes on fictional girls that appear in games and anime...... Don't judge me. Ok here's the top 10 fictional girls I used to like.
Number 10: Sakura from Street Fighter
I used to play this game called Capcom vs SNK on my Dreamcast and one of the character is Sakura, her cuteness and tomboyish look caught my attention. I remember there's certain moves you can do like Jump+kick or Standing+Roundhouse that allows you to view her red panties. Those were the days huh? I still don't get why I was interesting in seeing her panties back then, I should've known better that without them is the way to go.
Number 9: Android 18

Artworks from when I was just a childWhat is up! I was tidying up a room the other day and came across a box of my old drawings, I really did draw a lot back then. So when looking through them I decided it might be a good idea to take photos of them and show the public. I am sure it may make you feel better about your art after seeing mine! Honestly speaking this is just around 2% of all the artworks I found and I ain't exaggerating... thats what happens when you are an only child. Enjoy

Supanova Brisbane 2012 AftermathSups fellas, I was at Brisbane's Supanova this weekend. Lucky I didn't catch the wrong plane or wrong bus or wrong train, at the end everything worked out great, Brisbane's transport is surprisingly very easy to navigate and comfortable to get around. The people are nice there too, I always have a good time in the Queensland state. So this time I got to share my table with :iconkasumicr: and our table is part of Bulbagarden table with Liam Pomfret aka Archaic the webmaster being there. On the table was also :iconfoxeaf:, her boyfriend and a guy called Ben :iconnewklear:, later Ben's friend James also joined us. I didn't find out until later that John Dimaggio the voice actor for Jake the dog was there too... well I didn't have time to get him to sign my stuff, but its fine cos he will be in other Supanovas too and so I know I will see him again. So my next store neighbour this time is the lovely :iconthiskidthatkid:, I thought she was local but found out that she was also from Sydney,

Ry's World Domination Art Sale 2013Howdy its me again, before I start, if you wanna skip my life story and to the selling info then just scroll down till you hit the Information Section. You know.. somtimes I get people asking if they can buy prints of my artworks that I sell in conventions. I usually tell them to give me their address and info and sell it to them secretly, without really telling it publicly that I do. A few reasons why I don't like to sell internationally is firstly its a pain in the butt to drive out to the print shop and get it printed (Somtimes it takes a day or two for the print to be ready because they are sometimes busy), then buying a mailing tube and writing the address on it, then driving out to the nearest post office and post it. Then of course there is the shipping cost that you the customer has to pay for as well, I am sorry but its how the world works

. The whole process does take a bit of time and in small amounts I think I can handle it, but when it comes to a lot of people wan

Happy Birthday Walt Disney

Journal Entry: Wed Dec 5, 2012, 7:05 PM

If the Walt Disney is still alive today, it would be his 111th Birthday. So happen I am doing a Disney themed month. God damn isn't it amazing how we are celebrating his birthday even when the guy passed away some 50 years ago? I wish I would have that, and a statue of me holding Green Bear's hand, in Ry-Spirit Land where the magic ~~never~~ happens.

Can you imagine if Walt Disney never lived, there would not be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Disneyland, Little Mermaid, Lion King, Tron, Lilo and Stitch, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Up, Pirates of the Caribbean, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Mulan, Aladdin, Snowwhite, Winnie the Pooh, Duck Tales, That's so Raven, Chip N Dale, Darkwing Duck, Wreck it Ralph, Hannah Montana, Gravity Falls and Kingdom Hearts may not be made. On the bright side we don't get Herbie Fully Loaded so its not all bad.. I would even go as far as to say that without Walt Disney, the world may have been a little bit more depressing. How many time has a Disney movie touched our hearts? Given us a positive view on life, given us creativity and laughter and even given us courage and goal during bad times (eg the 2nd World War). Disneyland has made little Ry's holidays to other countries that much better, I can't remember my trip to America very well but I remember Disneyland just fine, that was the peak of my trip. If Disneyland wasn't there then I would be like ok I am in America, now what?

I wanna share a couple of Walt Disney quote to help inspire your day. Its really quite a motivational boost. Starting with one of my favourite, also shown in the movie Meet the Robinsons.

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

"All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable."

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

"What ever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do."

"Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever."</i>

How's that for your daily reading huh? The guy is not just an artist, he is a visionary, he is a businessman and he is an inspiration. Happy bday Mr Disney. ~~Take that Warner Brothers.~~

IT IS CURRENTLY DISNEY MONTH

"What ever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do."

Too bad Disney these days are kinda ruining his name, if he knew what they were doing to his cartoons he would roll over in his grave. Making everything digital and cheap, no more drawing by hand 3 sequels to everything they release. It's very sad and I highly doubt he would've accepted all of it.

~PolarStar Dec 7, 2012 Student

Happy Birthday, Walt Disney

You will allways be my favourite animator!

~GreyRadian Dec 7, 2012 Student General Artist

WALT DISNEY! Without him ther happiest place on earth wouldnt exist, and there would be no reason for me to travel

kind of. Because my little goal is to visit every disney park in the world ahahaha. and it's great!!
Also (entertainment) art would be less appreciated. Wasn't Disney also the person who gave a huge pathway for budding artists, even made a school and all that?

*Ry-Spirit Dec 7, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

yeah lots of artists got jobs cos of him. he created opportunity for people. i like! how many Disneyland have you conquered? and how many left

~GreyRadian Dec 7, 2012 Student General Artist

Just got Hong Kong left

oh and i guess Shanghai which will open in a couple of years or so

*Ry-Spirit Dec 7, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

oh gosh are you serious?! thats quite amazing! i only been to Hong Kong, Japan, California's Disneyland

~GreyRadian Dec 7, 2012 Student General Artist

Don't tell me you only went to Tokyo Disneyland and not go to DisneySea?

Im wishing they'd make one in Australia. But we know thats never gonna happen
