Sketchy Doodles 2



I got a brush pen today. It's really cool, maybe the coolest? Here's just a first trial run sketch with the pen.

sketchy doodles



Here's some sketches from my sketch book. I'm getting back to drawing after a multi year break. It's like learning to ride a bike all over again. Actually, no that's not right. But maybe slightly. Anyway, this is my first time using a moleskine sketchbook and I gotta say, the paper is the best I've ever had (in a sketchbook). My favorite part of the sketch is the bird, and the hand with arms, legs and face.

Snow, Cats, Animation

More snow pics because it's snowing again.

Apparently, snow storms come with a very friendly stray cat. I'm not really sure if it's a stray. It seems to be domesticated and very human friendly in a non rabies sort of way. But if he belongs to a neighbor then why is he outside in the middle of a snow storm? I wish I knew, my grandmother could use a new cat. And seriously, this cat rules.

So last week my work horse computer kinda died. I said I was going to make an animation on paper while I wait for the new one to arrive, buuuuuut turns out I don't like doing character animation on paper. Although, if I ever have a bunch of money to waste I'd like to draw straight to animation cells, and make a short that way.

Dell says the new computer will arrive in January. Whats up with that? It's almost 2010, the future is now. Why don't we have flying cars, cyborgs, talking monkeys, and speedy delivery on a computer tower already? So until then I won't really have any updates on Rabbit Dog or anything else.... Apparently I'm a computer animator.

Laterna Magica part 2

Today I got the program for the Laterna Magica show in France. Sometimes people who show your stuff say they'll keep you in touch, but they never do. So getting this in the mail was quite surprising. They even wrote out a thank you message on the back of a card. Pretty cool stuff. Also, check out the envelope, I think it's a recycled map.
