Looking Up

Life has been strangely excellent as of late. I can't help but feel that I am jinxing it every time I say that I am happy with the way things are turning out... so I should calm down my boasting.

I felt like making a new self portrait.... so this is what it turned out to be.

Enjoy the show. 

LA Caricature

For a project that I am working on, I made this background, and it is the most complex painting i've done in photoshop to date, so I'm proud of my amatureness, and felt it was worth posting. Its a production shot:

Enjoy the show, when it comes out :)

Marie

I had some wicked insomnia last night... where I went to bed at 10 and slept for maybe 2 or three hours and  then rolled around looking for comfortable positions....

So at one point, I said, "Screw it, I have't painted in photoshop in a while, lets take advantage of the opportunity?" I said that aloud to myself as I have no one to talk to at 4 in the morning. 

This is Marie:

I'ma try to sleep now. Enjoy the show. 

BFA 1 Completion!!!!

My first year of CalArts is over (wwwwoooooo) and I can now say that I have not been challenged this hard since I struggled to fight the pressure of leaving the womb. Thats a horrible joke, I'm sorry mama. Anyways, I have posted up my first year film (the short version) on my vimeo page, where I will begin to post up older films I made too. For now, here is my film, "Here I Come, My Love."

Enjoy the show!

Buff Men in Loincloths

Today, I came up with this character. I was really feeling his shape and I felt like playing a whole lot with him. I did not stray too far away from his original design because I absolutely loved it, but I'm sure if I kept posing him, I would have found issues with his design.   

These bottom two are just people I expect him to beat up. 

Enjoy the show!

Some films just leave you breathless

This a mutual reaction to "Milk Milk Lemonade" when I saw it at the Bytown Cinema back at Ottawa. It was a very well done film that deserves recognition.

The egg hunt!

My friends, I'd like to wish you a happy Easter Sunday! Today it is kind of cold. A small breeze is coming in from the west and it's rather grey for Easter. There is a giant bowl on my table full of chocolate eggs and gummy "krabby patties." I hope that you all enjoy the eggs, bunnies, christmas carols (cus it has something to do with Jesus) and a wonderful sunday dinner.

For my friends in the real world outside of the United States, I hope Easter Monday is awesome too... even though it's a monday :)

Enjoy the show.
