I have been on a long extended hiatus to sort things out in my head and what not. I have come out focused and really wanting to do a new animation project. Hurray!!

Here you can see quick 'lil designs of the two characters for the film. (In case you're wondering those are some "blood cells" floating behind the guy in green. and to have it make more sense you should know that he is afraid of blood. Get it now?)

and the other picture is a quick example of how it all will look.. sorta (ignore the computer in the background and imagine, instead, more green wall!). Drawn and painted and cut out and cute and cuddly, yeah?

Yeah!

In other news, I have been doing a lot and lot of other sketches that I want to put up and show so stick around for those and some more of these guys here.

branding spankin' new!

So in my Word and Image class we're making a spread for an alphabet book.
Here is a sketch of mine. It's for the letter B and we can ignore the placement and look of the type at the top because that will not be there... but it will still say "The brave boy was bold to go to the blind barber. ....oh and there will be a seeing eye dog with the barber, but I have yet to get to there.

This is what boredom looks like

I've sorta kinda really forgot about this place. And believe me when i say that time flies when you're stressed.

Here are some pictures made myself. It was for a project for Word and Image, we had to come up with characters to describe the names Jimmy, Jim and James. And pretty much it's that they are all murderer's. jimmy-crazy, sense less.. jim- emotionless, and james- remorseful.
enjoy!

Hey hey... this is blog numero uno for me. And that was the first, and more importantly, last time that I will speak in spanish.
I am currently a student at Mass College of Art and Design and Most Importantly Animation. Yeah, that's right. MCoA&D&MIA.

As I know you are just dieing (and probably killing) to know about what it is that I'm doing with my school work, I plan on posting some pictures of my work.

What work is this?

Good question.

And any other question that you might be thinking of, please do not hold back. Because there are no stupid questions. Except when a question is asked by someone, and then a minute later another person asks the same question... then THAT question becomes stupid. got it?

Good. So my work in the near future will probably consist of my Degree Project (or 'DP' for short). Then there are other stuff... like illustration & typography stuff. And maybe (if you're good) some surprises.. who knows!

So... What work is this?

No, that is a stupid question. Next!

Doesn't the sun revolve around the earth?

Also, a stupid question.
I must go now.

Thank you. and please come back!
