I don't know if this link works or not.

I've currently been almost 35 consecutive hours without sleep. (And not a whole lot less for the past month or so). Naturally my eyes are a little shot and my gait a little tottery, so after a fix of The Office I'm going to call it a day/night and give more comprehensive commentaries at a later date.

p.s. click on 'watch in high quality' when viewing or else it looks crummily pixilated. Good night,
and good luck.

Ode to Life

I by no means profess to be stellar at Life-Drawing. This is a problem because Life-Drawing (like math) is a pretty fundamental basic. I'm feeling kinda good though about the portfolio I'm handing in this time around; it's not mind-blowing, but I think I've improved a little since I started.

Designs

(Some preliminary designs for one of our group film characters I couldn't resist posting).

R-Double-Ya-F: The Third Time

I'll be honest. I'm generally not a huge fan of the Royal Winter Fair thing. Scads of swarming children, runny noses, numb hands and standing all day don't tend to appeal to me, but this year it was kind of decent. I got some inspiration and sense of the farm animal enivironment (which might be particularly beneficial in relation to pig films) and had an enjoyable time tinkering with my watercolours. It's also kind of neat to watch the reactions of children to both animals and art, and hopefully be some sort of inspiration in the process.

On other notes, I was part of a tour at Cuppa Coffee (studio..(s?) in Toronto today and got an interesting glimpse into the stop-motion animation work environment.

Stop-motion is sweet.
