Character Design Assignment 01 Bears at a bus-stop

So here is my first assignment from character design. Its some bears at a bus-stop. I drew a lot of head shapes in the beginning so i could get a feel for what looks bear like and what doesn't.

Side note: for the third year in a row i did not get into the stop motion class. I was beat out by a bunch of first year experimental students! Grrrrrr.....

Oh yeah and my birthday is coming up soon! the big 2 1! What should i do to celebrate?

A whole new year, a whole new cube...

So i'm back for my third year at calarts. I know, i know... It still says year 2 up top but i couldn't make a new banner yet because the labs are still getting a make over. So what is new since i last posted? Well the Sasquatch and the Girl is being recognized this weekend at the South Dakota Film Festival as the best student film! It is pretty sweet! We had class signups the other day... boy was that a mess. Basically what happened was they worked really hard to streamline the process this year but forgot to tell anyone that they were streamlining it! AHHH!! I am also a TA this year! That means i will now be taking on 4 jobs this year plus making a film. But hey at least i got first pick of the cubes. Speaking of which lets check in on that.
Great street name!

I like the location


The size is great... but that color....ew

I think we can take care of that...

That is much better! What do you think? Still more updates to come! It's good to be back!

Omg in distressing news, Sarah got hit by a car on her bike today! She is ok, mostly just badly scraped up, and a little shaken up. Please keep her in your thought and prayers! If you want to send her a note you can post it on her blog or her facebook. I am sure she would love to hear from you:

Albuquerque Film Festival: Day one photos

Just to calrify

I am now using twitter in addition to updating the blog. :)

Some changes

So I'm going to try and use twitter now. I know, I know, I've turned to the dark side. But I'm hoping it will help me keep you up to date more easily. I'm going to Albuquerque film festival and I'm going to use that week as a test run to see if this new system works. I have put my twitter feed at the top of the page so you can easily follow me. Anyway just thought of trying something new.

OMG SO SORRY

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN BLOGGING THIS WHOLE TIME! AHHHH.....

So where did i leave off? omg i haven't posted since i found out about the producers show! Man we have a lot of catching up!

The producer's show was awesome!!
I had and awesome time. and all the films were great. Here are some of my favorite films from this year or at least the ones i could find.



















That's all i can find now but I'll edit the post when i find more. I'm not posting my film up here yet because I'm right now trying submit to all the festivals. Speaking of which i got into some film festivals already, including the Albuquerque film festival which i will be going there next week. I also got into the South Dakota festival and the International Fest of Contemporary Animation & Media-Art LINOLEUM 2010 (that's in Russia!). The summer has been going great. I got an internship at Shadow machine in the set department. It was really cool! i got to build props, dress sets, and revamp sets. It was great and some of my stuff actually made it on to the show! I'll be sure to post the stuff i did as soon as the show airs. I've also been working at six flags as a face painter! booya!
