 I've been sorting out through these drawings and documents and files today And I thought it would make a fun video if I ran through them now They're all sorted chronologically so this might take a while so just in case the video is really long That's that's why I'm gonna start with this pile which is mostly stuff from I think fourth or fifth grade mostly fourth and This first one is this pair of glasses that we did in class And it's meant to be the two worlds you live in like the left eye and the right eye and they contain two different worlds the reason I'm covering the left one is because there's this monitor over here and this is actually an airport and Here it has all my relatives names on it. So I'm covering it up, but essentially This is a standby screen if you don't know what that is when you're traveling by a staff You have a status every time you book a flight with staff travel and most of the time when you book it You get a yellow standby and then you have to go to the airport And they have a little screen that shows you your status whether your standby denied or confirmed And this is such like a a common a core occurrence When I was a kid that I made my drawing about it and I drew a plane 777 go in somewhere. So yeah, this is just my first little thing moving on. There's a few other things here Let's see. There's this minecraft thing I'm not quite sure what it is as my name on it and as my the sprite at the time that I made and I'm not quite sure what's going on if he's mining under water I'm not sure and here's a little green and blue diamond and some diamonds and a shark apparently which aren't even in Minecraft Oh, definitely. We're not when this come out. I don't know what they put in Minecraft now So yeah, nothing in the back. Then we got ooh my favorite big Nate now when I was a kid. I Love big Nate is my favorite thing ever It's Basically this comic strip that has a story to it So you could go and watch the comic like the comic was published in newspapers But every single week the comic story continued So it wasn't this you know a femoral like oh the comic exists on the newspaper and it's just one joke And then it's over. No, you actually had a continuous story. So what the author did was he combined This story of all the comics into big books and these are called, you know, the big Nate books This one's called in the zone I'm not quite sure what this one was about because I don't remember but I do remember making this, you know Definitely making this cover. Yeah Big Nate's gonna make you laugh big time. Yeah by Lincoln Pierce really really good comic artist by the way if you ever read this as a kid But I also like diary room be kid of course because like every kid my age read that and I wrote a little essay about it here for school pretty interesting Kissing area, I don't know what that means or rising area. Sorry. I interpreted that as a Hmm Anyways, here we have some like short stories. This is a fable that we had to write in class I remember they would make us like write fables and things to get us understand different formats in English Let's see. I wrote this one. This is actually you're meant to have a moral in the fable, right now I did a pretty bad job because fables are meant to be short But I wrote a really long one and the moral in this one's written in Latin actually And I wrote this one because when I asked my parents like what moral should I write my Fable about because I was really stuck on this project I thought of a few myself, but I didn't think of anything worthwhile So I remembered what my dad used to tell me all the time And he would often share morals and like mess like the kind of Proverbs in Latin that would be said and so I wrote that down in my English lesson funnily enough, but yeah And I also am surprised that my handwriting on this is better than like my handwriting now So just you know fourth grade me really had it down, you know Anyways, here's Vincent van Gogh One of my Vincent van going to do with this He shot himself in a wheat field in France. He was this basically this project that we did at school I don't really remember doing this that much. I did I do have this other thing this Starry night thing they made us do for Vincent van Gogh I'm not sure why they made us study probably for art history or something, but I don't remember much about this I don't I don't understand how I could have done such a bad job because it's such a messy piece of work I mean, what is this? I don't I don't think I ever gave this to the teacher Then there's some like short stories add to write you have to create like character descriptions And one really weird thing about my teacher Is she would mark bad things in green? So here I wrote personality I wrote his personality is making and then What does that mean? I'm not sure then. I don't know assembling machines that can boost his productivity I don't know something that and personality is underlining green now green is actually bad green And then she says is personality the right word for the for this sentence and obviously it's not You could say like his passion, but still green was the bad color in my classroom pink was the good color You know that that I got you ticks and stuffs It was really really really funny and they got these like weird stories where they would give us the mystical the mystical tree And then we had to write a story about it like you know describe the setting I'm sure if you've gone like to primary school I've probably done it and there's our first of many hidden little Doraemon's when I was a kid now I didn't like animate when I grew up, but when I was like in fourth grade I really like watching this on Italian television because we still had it and I really love that cartoon So there's a few things like that in it this next this next thing. I'm about to show you is probably my favorite in the whole pile How to be safe on the internet and look guys, I know you're watching this video You love privacy security, you know, whatever listen to me because this is an important fourth grade me Knew what was up, you know So how to be safe on the internet according to fourth grade me rules do Try to not cyber bully try, you know try try your best Don't download unknown files folders of any kind apps, etc. Okay. Yeah, that's reasonable can't really download Folder as a single file, but I guess, you know FTP. I was thinking forward Don't get any Twitter Facebook or tumblr until you're 14 now I you know What is it 10 year old me knew what was up now just to be clear? I don't know why I put tumblr here It was the only thing I could think of because I had heard at the word tumblr before probably and I thought I'd Probably some other social media it is but I didn't know how bad it would have been compared to Twitter and Facebook Do as soon as some advert poster unknown window appears close or shut off the computer and tell the teacher that teach her Yeah, that's that's you know That's what they would tell us to do in class because they were really scared of us going on like Internet Explorer And I don't know some really bad advert or some really bad thing would pop up And so they would tell us to just inform a teacher if anything happened We were like nine at the time Don't show other people your details because they might hack your account I mean look I'm looking forward no doxing no stealing passwords either. You know, I'm just I'm just saying I'm just saying okay I've got some like biology stuff here adaptation Lipe cycle of a plant I think I must have done this maybe in fifth grade because I don't remember doing this in in fourth grade But yeah, I did a few drawings for that they make you do this thing I don't know that they're obsessed with this and in schools They always make you write fake stories for newspapers to get you to do journalistic writing and once again My handwriting here is better than like my modern handwriting So props to like nine-year-old me or ten-year-old me or whatever then we got this beautiful piece of Doraemon fan art We got a dentshi written in Japanese over here. I've been using the name for a while By the way, I know you guys think that it's some like random Internet thing No, I used I used it when I was like nine years old You know and there's my name on it and I don't think I dated this so that's that although I know that it was made around 2015 because here's the expo 2015 logo. I thought it was a really neat logo So I drew it here Anyways, there's that and there's this like motorcycle I found that I made and then some random drawing that has half of Dentshi written without the SH and I I remember making this I specifically remember making this drawing and never finishing it So I always love drawing cityscapes like that Anyways enough of that now, let's move on to a new era of drawings. Here's what I started making more comics and stuff I had already been making comics since I was around eight, but I never I never saved those and never you know I never I was never able to find them again. So here's my Dave's adventure comics and there's a few other ones that I did that I did there's like this is like a character sheet of characters That's a really scary guy There's like a character sheet and then what else do I have yeah these like Dave comics So Dave was like this character that I had with this flower on his head It's kind of where I got the design for Dentshi with the line eyes or whatever it is for the like generic Design for a classroom not for a classroom. What am I saying for for a character? and the the concept with him was he was bullied really hard at school because of this like Portrusion from his head like this like tumor and so He gets revenge by committing acts of terrorism, you know by putting dynamite in people's toilets So yeah, I was a pretty pretty violent kid but whatever if I Had a lot of Stories about him going around and whatever and I remember making these comics and and you know having a lot of fun So yep, let's see and more comics that I made these are more like science fiction And this is where I start getting into my science fiction sort of era of making comics and drawings Here's some random like logos that I would do I really liked logos around the time This must have been 2016 2017 2018 around that kind of time I love logos and you know, I also really like Sonic and this is because I played the classic Sonic games that mobile ports And they were really really good. So there's that This is like some scientific drawing that I used to do. I really enjoyed science diagrams as a kid I love the intricacy and like drawing everything trying to get 3d stuff drawn I really really enjoyed and of course you got the dentshi little dentshi logo there Yeah, then then also I loved Linking back to that science fiction sort of love. I had I loved portal portal was my entire life And I love doing diagrams of portal and here's Wheatley And sort of like the chorus from portal and I had all these intricate diagrams. I love that kind of drawing stuff Yeah, then moving on from there. I remember this specific moment This must have been seventh grade or maybe at most eighth grade where me and my friends were like We'll be really cool if we develop a game. We never even started programming anything We just wanted to like do the drawings and concepts and whatever so we draw maps and we would come up with like game concepts And we do these like developer notes Draw more maps and whatever and this is one of my friends actually I've been in draw this is my friend's collection of various different The characters and little beings that could be in the game like enemies. It was really really fun to do Yeah, I never really took it any further maybe when I grow up. I don't know. Maybe I might do more More of this but I'm not sure game development always seemed to me like something that it would have to like It's it's so much effort for something that at the end of the day really does not reward you for the effort that you put in So yeah, anyways moving on from that. We also got my music. This is actually I believe not this But this this is this is the first song I ever wrote in my life. It was it's really really generic It's nothing advanced, but it really repetitive and I still have it somewhere saved on my computer So I'll get it out at some point if I ever want to make like a cover or a new version But I remember this fondly because I print I got that I made the midi in like a Program where you could place notes and then I exported it as a PDF and I remember printing this out This is the second song I ever made this one actually had lyrics or the first song I made with lyrics Although I never sung it. So yeah, those are the first two songs I made in in like text form and I always kept them. So this was around the time I was 13 must have been Yeah, I must have been like Eighth grade about that time. Yeah, eighth grade. So moving on There's some more little drawings that I made as I got older, you know, these little characters and stuff. There's More characters kind of more like the modern style that I do now that I draw much But more modern style that I do and if you've seen the back to world of Denshi Then a few of these drawings I think are in there world of Denshi's one of the albums I do for my band So there's like a back cover with a bunch of drawings I think from these from I think I think it might be this scan might have a few of them, although I'm not sure Yeah, speaking of world of Denshi and my band after these drawings, I did start to draw more now Interestingly, this drawing was not done by me. This is done by my sister. I think she made it when she was around I'd like to say nine Or eight I can't I can't remember because it's been a while But I kept it I thought it was really really pretty and ended up using it for the cover to wreck of the Zanzibar Which is the first album I released under the Sabadia band, which is where I make my music now If you've seen like the videos I've uploaded to my channel about that. Oh, and sorry about my finger I've like banged it and I got a really bad bruise. So sorry if that's really ugly Here's the actual original Orion is red cover from my band album now funnily enough I made this drawing a long time before I made the album and before I even made this album or any music at all I had drawn this a long time and I had the idea for the name a long time ago I just never really did anything with it At the back There's actually some like people that I knew and like caricatures, but that was not included in the drawing Of course, and you can't really see it in the back But yeah, this is the original Iranis thread nor drawing that I used in the album I kind of messed up my words there and it's really really small as you can see It's you know, it's a small little drawing Anyways Because you'd expect it to be bigger because in the scans they look really really big on the album cover But it's actually really tiny and there's some more drawings These are some notes and things for songs and a calculus. I guess at the back And some more Orionis red ideas. This is I wanted to do some Ivan seal was it Ivan seal? I forgot what the name of the artist was but the artist who made those weird like Shapes that made no sense and looked like books But they didn't look like books those like dementia shapes I wanted to do something like that but in drawing form for Orionis red and I ended up thinking of like a pot with a head On it and that slowly developed into this basically that's the process of getting in there I also really liked Hawaii part two at the time as pretty much every like 14 15 16 year old does and I drew a lot of art for that and Simon got the character from that. Yeah Then we're basically reaching the end. Oh wait, I lost this This is an aperture science drawing. I did a little thing here We reached the if you've seen them the music video for grow up, which is on this channel This is the the paper from it. These are the actual drawings. I used to make it I Scanned all of these and clip them and turn them into the video and yeah There's still all here if you ever want, you know, if I ever want to see them again in person So this is where I get all them from Then the only ones that I've lost though are the ones from the beginning of the album I actually threw those away by accident. So I'm really I really I'm sorry that I did that But I mean it is what it is here. There's a last drawing I remember making in this collection, which is this gap t-shirt design competition I don't know why I did this I just found this in the store And I thought a I should draw like a little album like cover thing I was experimenting with names for my next album at the time I didn't know what to do So I named this one my little creek and I do like a little creek and these flowers and I wrote my name and my age Which was 17 at the time it felt kind of silly because age is like, you know kids are meant to do this But I did it anyways, but yeah, that was my collection of drawings and things that I wanted to showcase in this video There are probably a few things that I missed out I can think of some newer drawings that I've made but they're not really super important But yeah, everything from little Internet safety cards that you guys should listen to you know listen to these these rules to You know drawings that turn into album covers So thank you very much for watching this video. I've been Denshi. Goodbye
