The Arrival

w00t! (which isn't an entirely applicable phrase here, but that's a moot point). My fathare finished up making my animation desk this past week (with the exception of a second light waiting to come in yet). Made from a piece of 30 x 24" white pine and a couple 1 x 3's for the stand (and the size for the circle cut-out traced from a hub-cap), he designed the front piece to fit into the back stand for easy pack-up. Instead of the standard poles being propped into 3 or so slots for altering heights, he bolted two boards of varying length on the sides and a shorter one in the back to prop up the front at different angles and still allow for full closure (with additional hook-locks for transportation). It even features a heavy-duty handle, completing the perfect transportation-friendly ensemble.

...Now all I need is the bullet-proof light disk.

today i felt like drawing.

Some old compositions dating back to the Royal Winter Fair era of second year.



(This as a disclaimer: drawing animals is not particularly a forté of mine, but I like how some aspect of each animal turned out).







GO train caricatures.

futuristic cityscapes featuring raccoons

..or something like it. These were a second-year painting assignment based on a quick Layout exercice. I definitely prefer the cartoon-ized one as opposed to the more realistic take.

Neglect? I think s0.

I can't escape the sense that I've been neglecting to feed this here blog on a regular basis, if not some drawing maintenance in general this summer. So, like any good owner, I'm going to give it a good dose of affection and provide all y'all with a little more to peruse, hopefully a bit more frequently than previously. p.s. Coming soon: Birth of a Light-desk!

Seen around Sheridan: these are compilations of sketches done in second semester I dug up from my hard drive.

The YOUth These Daays..

.. (growly voice) "...don't know the mEAning ... of the word ... AWEsome."



P.S. (..This may not constitute as awesome though it definitely is cool. I found an old-school Batmobile car at a yard-sale on Saturday. It's very much like Peter's, (except for a missing front blade - for stabbing unsuspecting friends when proving the superiority of the Batmobile), but it's still got the man himself inside.

me & mon frère

A little excerpt of myself and my youngest brother from a draw-ing of my family, pen and paint from my new water-color set. Paul turned 6 today. I got him a watercolor set and brushes. He likes them very much and tried them out after supper, though currently he's excited over his new Lego set and garbage truck.
